Chapter 116
BANG!
The two-meter high champagne tower crushed down with a loud noise. The wine was spilled everywhere, and the glasses were shattered. Andre was buried in the middle of this ruin.
All the customers cried out in horror and backed away quickly to avoid being injured.
Even Janet parted her lips in shock.
She did mean to teach this little prick a lesson. But she had only thought about slapping him one more time or breaking one of his little pinkies.
Knocking him into the champagne towerâ¦.was it a little too much?
âDaran!â she lowered her voice and said in an urgent voice, âYou probably have gone too farâ¦Andre is General Dantonâs child, neverthelessâ¦â
âIt is fine.â
Daran rolled his wrists and cast a dark look on Andre, âHe can be the Rogue Kingâs son and I still wonât give a shit. He should feel lucky enough that he is still breathing alive.â
The loud noise attracted the nightclubâs security.
A few large men dressed in black suits rushed over. One of them tried to help Andre up from the scattered glasses.
âMaster Andre!â he gasped in horror. âAre you alright? Are you hurt?â
Andre groaned in pain.
His right leg was twisted in a strange ankle-probably a broken bone. There were numerous cuts and bruises on his body. Some of the bruises started to bleed.
âI-I am alright? You fucking idiot! Of course, I am not alright!â Andre roared like an angry beast, âWhat are you waiting for? The man who kicked me was standing right there! Arrest him!!â
The security immediately turned his head and looked at Daran and Janet.
There was a menacing look on his face at first. Yet when he recognized Daran, that look quickly changed into horror.
âA-Alpha Daran!â
The security staggered back, crying out in a high-pitched voice, âW-What are you doing here?â
Daran glanced at him coldly, âAm I not welcome here?â
âO-Of course notâ¦â
âThat little brat tried to assault my mate,â Daran said in an icy voice. âI was already being merciful enough for not snapping his hand and neck. Now, do you want to try and arrest me?â
The security gulped nervously. There were 6 of them. But none was brave enough to make a move.
âI didnât think so too,â Daranald arrogantly
âYou bunch of losers!â Andre snapped, âI will tell my father about this and have you
all fired!â
The security went back to him and whispered into his ears, âMaster Andre, we know that you are frustrated but that is Alpha Daran! Nobody can hurt himâ¦not even the Kingâ¦â
âCoward!â Andre hissed, âHe is our enemy! And you are all acting like a bunch of cowards! Shame on you!â
Janet slightly raised an eyebrow.
Andre came off as a spoiled little brat at first. But as it turned out, this kid had some backbones.
Just then, the nightclubâs manager pushed through the crowd and ran over. He brought a few medical staff with him.
Together, they brought Andre onto a stretcher.
âTake Master Andre to the hospital,â the manager said urgently.
Andre was carried away by them. His face was pale due to the pain. And his shirt was messy and tainted with blood.
When he passed by Daran and Janetâs side, he spat at them and hissed, ââ¦You will fucking pay for this one day.â
Daran let out a sarcastic snort. A kidâs vain threat meant nothing to him.
After Andre was brought away, the nightclub manager walked up to Daran and Janet and bowed to them, âGood evening and welcome.â
Daran looked down at him freezingly, âAre we going to have more troubles?â âOh no, Alpha Daran, of course not. I am just here to tell you that-â
The manager pointed at the balcony on the second floor and said, âLady Morgana invited you two to the private lounge. She wants to have a word with you.â
Janet looked around and noticed that Kass and Morgana were no longer in their booth.
No wonder Kass didnât rush over during their little quarrel with Andre.
âCertainly.â
Daran nodded.
âPlease show us the way.â
The manager led them to the second floor and stopped at a closed door. He knocked on the door 3 times and stepped aside humbly.
âLady Morgana is expecting you inside,â the manager said.
Daran stepped up and pushed the door open.
Together, they walked into the room.
This private lounge was large enough for 50 people to have a party here. But right now, there was no one else around. When the door closed behind their backs, the
This private lounge was large enough for 50 people to have a party here. But right now, there was no one else around. When the door closed behind their backs, the loud music from downstairs was completely cut off, It was extremely quiet in here. Morgana was sitting on a large, curved sofa, smoking a cigarette. She looked very relaxed.
In sharp contrast to her, Kass was super nervous. He sat a few feet apart from Morgana and kept his head down.
âI heard that you wanted to talk,â Janet broke the silence first.
âWell yes, I do.â
Morgana smiled idly and breathed out smoke, âMy mate told me what you are after. I am here to help, willing to answer all of your questions.â
âName your terms,â Daran said.
Morgana chuckled, âThere is no term, no condition, no strings attached. I am willing to help. For free.â
Janet frowned. She found this too good to be true.
âYou are Lanceâs Cabinet Minister. You should be on his side,â she said. âWhy are you willing to help us for free?â
Morgana snorted.
She stubbed the cigarette on the ashtray and her face turned dark.
âI never wanted to be a fucking rogue,â she said gloomily. âMy bastard parents abandoned me. No foster care was willing to take in me because of my hideous birthmark. I lived on the street and wandered into the rogueâs territoryâ¦I survived in this shit hole. I made a living here. But it didnât necessarily mean that I enjoy living in this barbarian world.â
âIf you hate this so much, why not leave?â Janet asked.
Morgana snorted, âAnd give up everything that I fought so hard for? No, thank you. I hate my current life. But I just want to change, not give up on it.â
She sat up straighter and looked Janet in the eyes.
âI am not happy with Lance being the King.â
She said pointedly.
âI am fucking tired of being ruled by an incompetent man. It is time to change that. I like you. And most importantly, Kass is my mate. All those are my reasons to help.â
Janet exchanged a brief look with Daran.
It seemed like that Morgana was speaking the truth.
But this could also be a part of Lanceâs dirty schemesâhe had done something like this before.
After a little pause, Daran said, âWe have been crossed by a friend before. Right now,
I donât trust you.â
Morgana shrugged and leaned back to the couch.
âFair enough.â she smiled, âThere is plenty of time for us to build a healthy,
collaborative relationship. For now, as a friendly gesture, I can tell you who the former Rogue Kingâs son is.â
Janet held her breath involuntarily, âWho is he?â
âActually, you all have tnet him already,â Morgana chuckled.
Janet frowned. She searched among all the faces that she had seen since she got here. But no one seemed to fit the profile.
âAnd you just kicked his ass downstair,â Morgana hinted.
Janet widened her eyes in shock.
..Andre?!
That little brat was the former Rogue Kingâs son?
Chapter 117
âAndre?â
Daran frowned. A clear hint of suspicion flickered across his eyes, âIf I remember correctly, he is Dantonâs son.â
âFoster son.â
Morgana corrected.
âLance asked his best man Danton to adopt Andre after the former King died. This is a smart move, really. You know, keeping your enemy close.â
Janet still found this hard to believe, âBut if Andre is really the former Kingâs kid, why didnât Lance kill him? Why bother keeping him close?â
Morgana shrugged, âWho knows? Maybe there are some mysteries about the former
King that Lance hasnât cracked yet, which made his son useful. Lance never shares his decision-making process with his subordinates. Like why does he keep you guys here? Nobody knows what he is thinking.â
Janet bit her lower lip, pondering.
Morgana was telling the truth. She could feel it.
If Andre was really the person that they were looking for, things would become quite
difficult.
They made a terrible first impression downstairs.
It would be hard to persuade Andre to help them now.
âAnything thoughts on how to break Andre?â Daran asked, âWhat is he like? Does he have any weak spots? Anything we can use?â
âAndre is a spoiled little prick, which you have seen for yourself. Danton treated him very nicely over the years. He made sure that Andre had everything, money, women, booze, you name it. You can probably approach him with women-that kid is a dog-but you wonât be able to buy him. He is very close to his foster dadâ¦â
âWait.â
Janet interrupted her, âAndre is close to Danton? Are you sure?â
