Leo was coming here?
What a coincidence!
Samuel originally planned to leave, but now he retreated and hid himself again.
Zayn was quite nervous now, but he still tried his best to maintain calm.
"Father."
Zayn bowed respectfully, but there were actually no respect in his heart.
This man stood by and watched him when he needed help the most. Now, no matter what his goal was,
Zayn would not be influenced by him.
Leo looked at Zayn and his eyes flashed.
Zayn looked like Sally. His eyebrows, expression, and even his cold temperament were similar to
Sally's.
Leo waved his hand and let Zayn sit down.
"I've heard you went to see Inez?"
Leo said casually, which surprised Zayn. He whispered, "Yes, Inez has caught a cold. I had nothing to
do here, so I went to see her."
"You have nothing to do here? How come I don't know that you two are so close?"
Leo looked at Zayn with a faint smile, but his gaze was still cold.
Zayn was not scared. He looked straight into Leo's eyes and said, "There are still many things that you
don't know."
"Well, for example?"
"For example, I went to Sienna's place."
Zayn voluntarily mentioned Sienna.
If Sienna really wanted to support him as she said, this time it would be a test for her. Once Sienna had
said something to Leo, he would kill her immediately. This was for the safety of him and Nicole.
Leo frowned slightly.
"Zayn, you've been in close contact with these two sisters recently."
"What do you want to say?"
Zayn sounded indifferent. That alienation in his words made Leo unhappy.
"I'm your father. Can't I care about you? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Zayn sneered and said, "I have grown up. I don't quite need your love and concern. You should spare
time to govern the country. As for an insignificant son like me, there is no need to occupy your time."
Leo suddenly felt a little depressed.
When did his son grow up? Right now, Zayn's expression of alienation and indifference reminded Leo
of their past.
"Are you blaming me?"
"I'm not."
Zayn was neither humble nor pushy.
This was different from what Leo had assumed.
When he learned that his son was a gay, he was furious.
At that time, he thought Zayn was useless.
There were so many women in the world, yet he actually fell out with his brothers for a man. It was
crazy. However, after seeing Zayn today, Leo suddenly didn't think so.
He felt that he couldn't understand his son.
Thinking of this, Leo softened his tone and said, "Zayn, maybe you still blame me for not being a good
father, but I have too many responsibilities on my shoulders and I'm not allowed to have time to stay
with you. However, you are my son, and I still love you in my heart."
"I know."
Zayn replied calmly. He didn't believe the king at all.
Love him?
Would he have lived so hard if king loved him?
Leo knew that Zayn didn't believe him when he saw Zayn's eyes, but the estrangement between them
for so many years couldn't be changed overnight.
Leo sighed. "Don't make things difficult for Major."
So that was why the king came here today!
Zayn sneered and said, "Did you say something wrong? I am the one who have gone through many
difficulties from beginning to end. You should tell Major not to make things difficult for me. Pedro was
killed by him and my life was ruined by him. But you even come here to warn me not to make things
difficult for him. It's obvious that you like him very much. If that's the case, why not give him an official
identity? Then, we can have another prince in our country."
There were many different opinions about Major's identity, but there were still some people who knew
that Major was Leo's son. After all, the paternity test report was already there. Leo just needed to admit
truth.
Now, for the sake of Major, an illegitimate child, Leo had actually come to warn him. Zayn felt even
colder.
Leo looked at Zayn's annoyed expression and sighed. "He is not my son, but is indeed your brother."
"What do you mean?"
Leo told Zayn about Major's identity.
"Few people know about this. It's not the right time to reveal Major's identity. That's why I make
everyone believe that he's my son. But when your uncle comes back, the truth will come out."
Zayn was stunned.
He actually had an uncle, Aaron?
He felt that his views on the world would be changed due to this.
"What exactly are you planning?"
"A mineral vein is a kind of resource that can make our country one of the most powerful in the world.
As long as we obtain this mineral vein, our military research will be able to continue and our weapon
will also be produced. We can then be compared with other countries. Zayn, our country is too small
and few countries in the world know about us. We have the most advanced technology and the
highest-level talents. Why should we be ignored by other countries? As long as we obtain this mineral
vein, we will have absolute strength. As you know, our country is short of funds. Relying on the supply
of several large families is not enough to support the whole country. That's why your uncle and I have
planned all of this for the rise of our Miller family. We owe your uncle. He has been wandering abroad
all these years and has shouldered everything by himself. I must take good care of his son."
Leo looked at Zayn and said, "I know that there is a gap between you and Major. I also know that you
have met Nicole and Samuel and even want to form an alliance with them. But Zayn, you have to
understand that you are from Country F, and you and Major are brothers. Neither Nicole nor Samuel is
from our country, nor are they from our family. You are a Miller and you need to know what you should
do. If you want to be the king of Country F, you can. When I get the mineral vein, I will pass it on to you.
What I've done is all for you. But you need to know who your loved ones are and who your enemies
are. If you want to be the ruler of a country, you have to distinguish between these two kinds of people.
Your mother is from Country Z. No matter how powerful her family is, she can only be used by us and I
can't really love her. Do you know that?"
Zayn clenched his fists when hearing this, and he even gritted his teeth.
His mother had followed Leo all her life, and finally died in this palace, but Leo had said that he just
took advantage of Zayn's mother.
Zayn had never felt that Leo had any conscientiousness. At this moment, Leo's coldness still scared
him
He felt his mother was so pitiful.
Even though Nicole told him that his mother was still alive, he never thought of searching for her. Why?
Because he was afraid that Leo would use his mother again and bring her back to the palace. Now he
actually heard from Leo that his guesses were all true. Zayn tried to suppress his hatred and looked
down. Then he said, "I know."
Leo did not understand Zayn's expression, nor did he know what his son was thinking. If not for the
intense battle between him and Major, he would not have come today.
Furthermore, Yanice was quietly rescued and even no one was unable to find any traces of her. Leo
suspected that it had something to do with Zayn.
He came here only to warn Zayn.
Nicole was still an outsider to the Miller family.
"Zayn, I know you still have a grudge against me. Think about Samuel. He is so rich and he can even
design war chariots and weapons. If he wants to attack our country, working with him will only push our
country to an irreversible state. Your uncle and I covet the mineral vein of their country. We are
enemies actually. Do you think Samuel will let go of our country? Don't be stupid. They are our
enemies. Right now, the most important thing is for you brothers to band together. Do you
understand?"
Zayn finally realized something.
"What exactly are you trying to say? Do you think the person you are looking for is here? Then why
don't you ask someone to search this place?"
These words were a little disrespectful, but it didn't matter anymore.
Leo had never come to see him before. He suddenly came and said so many things. He even told him
Major's true identity. As a matter of fact, he was trying to say that Samuel and Nicole were outsiders
and Zayn shouldn't be too close to the outsiders.
But to Zayn, what was an outsider?
When he needed help the most, it was Samuel and Nicole, who helped him. As for Leo, a father, what
was he doing at that time?
National interests, ore veins, and scientific research were all bullshit!
He wished he could destroy this country and this palace. He didn't care whether Country F could
become a world power or not. He didn't even care about the throne of the country. Now, he did all this
only for revenge.
For Pedro and for his mother.
Leo was so funny. He thought that Zayn wanted to rule the whole country.
Zayn had never been so ambitious. All he wanted was live a quiet and peaceful life with the person he
loved. However, such a simple wish had become extravagant.
When the person he wanted to protect was gone, what else could he care about?
Nicole said that she was an outsider, but she was his mother's only nephew and his only sister. If she
and Samuel wanted country F, he would offer it to them.
However, he wouldn't tell Leo about these. He didn't think it was necessary. He stared straight at Leo,
not caring about him searching the palace.
Looking at Zayn, Leo was a little angry.
He had said so much and almost tried to please Zayn. Did this son also want to go against him like
Sally?
Leo didn't look quite good when thinking of this.
"I won't search this place. However, after so many years, there should be some furniture in your palace
that the decoration needs to be changed. I also neglected it. Anyone outside? Send a team over to take
a good look at the furniture here. If something needed to be changed, just do it in time. Get a new
batch the afternoon."
Although Leo sounded concerned about Zayn, he actually meant that he was going to search the
palace. Samuel, who was hiding in the darkness, paused for a moment and felt
nervous.
