As soon as he finished speaking, several more bullets fired.
Rested opened a barrier around his body to block the attack.
Suddenly a familiar voice was heard.
"elder brother."
Rested looked in horror and saw that his younger brother Lan Ke was being threatened by someone with mental power.
With the help of his mental power, Meng Lu also noticed it, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.
"Lesed, let's take Lan Ke with us."
"No, I'm going to get you to safety first before I go save Lan Ke."
"It will be too late if you don't go now. I think your father is determined to have you go. Besides, you have strong mental strength and you will definitely be able to protect me." Seeing that he was slightly shaken, Meng Lu increased his intensity to persuade him.
"We are husband and wife. We should share happiness and hardship. We should face things together. I will carry it with you."
"Hold on tight, huh?"
The eagle under him changed direction and dived towards the border of the Hillna Empire.
The soldiers below were immediately thrown into panic. That was the former Colonel Resed! How could they possibly resist the most powerful man in the empire?
"What are you still standing there for? Defend yourself."
The adjutant beside the head of the Walzan family scolded them.
Suddenly, the eagle stopped about ten meters away from them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Rested slowly landed on the ground holding Meng Lu, and then carefully put her down.
However, the head of the Walzan family stared at them the whole time.
"Father."
"Huh, you still know you have a father?"
Rested had no regrets or guilt in his heart. He had done so much for the Walzan family and had already paid it back long ago.
"What do you need to do to let Lan Ke go with me?"
"Leave?" The patriarch snorted coldly, "You and Lan Ke are both my children. Where else can children go if they are not with their parents?"
Lan Ke gritted his teeth in anger, but now he couldn't speak.
The head of the Walzan family took a deep breath and said, "Resed, you are my most proud son. Whenever I talk about you with other families, they envy me for having a son like you. But you actually abandoned your family and country for a female. You really brought shame to your family.
But I've figured it out now. You have your own life, and as a father, I can't interfere too much in your private life. So I've decided to accept the female around you and allow you to get married, but the prerequisite is that you return to the family and fight for the family's glory."
Even at this time, his father was still so arrogant. Resid no longer believed in his father from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm not interested in the family. Change the conditions."
"No, there is only this condition. Lan Ke is still young and must stay in the family and be protected by the family. As long as you come back, I can accept another request of yours."
Meng Yu, who was standing by, glanced at him, then held his hand tightly. "Resed, no matter what decision you make, I will always be by your side."
It has to be said that Rested had a lot of considerations before. Being a colonel for so many years made him develop the habit of considering many aspects. For one thing, he would imagine all possible things and solutions in his mind and find the way with the least risk.
But after hearing Luo Luo's words of encouragement, he decided to take a risky path.
Maybe a miracle will happen if you take another path.
"Today, I will take Lan Ke away. Neither of us brothers will go with you."
The firm voice broke the fragile soul of the head of the family. He was almost annoyed these days. He thought that there would be a turning point if he found Rest, but he didn't expect that neither of his two sons would give him peace of mind.
Then the head of the Walzan family refused bluntly, "I am your father. Everything I do is for your own good. You must listen to me."
Rested stopped pretending and came straight to the point.
"Father, I know our family is in danger. Without me, we don't have any outstanding spiritual masters. The emperor has been cultivating talents in private and has already won over most of the families to fight against Walzan. Even though I have been hiding and fleeing, it doesn't mean that I know nothing."
The head of the family was still pretending, but once the matter was exposed, he lost his confidence and his voice became weaker.
"Resed, you are the future heir of the Walzan family. I must cultivate the family to become stronger so that your succession to the throne will not be threatened in the future. No one in the entire Hillna Empire dares to refute you when you say a word. Only by holding on to power tightly can your words be the only truth. Why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"
"No, please stop deceiving yourself, father. You're just using me as a tool to fight for power. I've understood this a long time ago, but at that time, I was devoted to the family. As long as the family was strong, it didn't matter whether I was a tool or not. After all, the family raised me.
But... I've been a tool for the family for hundreds of years. I'm tired, and enough is enough. I'm also grateful for the family's kindness in giving birth to me and raising me. Everything I've done can even offset all the kindness the family has shown me and Lan Ke."
"From a middle-low family to the first family of the empire, isn't that enough?"
"Father, I don't believe you haven't been worried that I might seize power. A biological father would be wary of his own son, let alone the emperor and his ministers."
"You are the one who caused the family's rapid demise. You knew that this would incur the Emperor's wrath, yet you still chose to do it. You should be prepared to accept this day, instead of using family ties to hold me back."
"You, you, you...you are a traitor." The head of the family coughed repeatedly in anger.
The adjutant beside the patriarch hurriedly persuaded him, "Young Master, please admit your mistake to the patriarch! Besides, your last name is Walzan, and you have lived in the family since childhood. You can't just watch the family disappear from this world!"
