"What happened?"
The person who came was Zayn's assistant who had been promoted after he returned to his country,
and he was someone Zayn trusted. At this moment, he ran in with a panicked expression, and Zayn's
heart lurched.
When the assistant saw Davon, he wasn't surprised at all. He only paused for a moment and looked at
Zayn. Seeing that Zayn didn't want to hide it from Davon, he quickly said, "The Dark Forest in the north
has exploded."
"The Dark Forest?"
Zayn's expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this Dark Forest?"
Seeing Zayn's changed expression, Davon instantly became nervous and uneasy.
Zayn looked at him and whispered, "The Dark Forest is a primeval forest. Normally, no one can enter it,
and no one dares to go there after the beast incident. That was why Leo moved the Military Research
Institute into the Dark Forest last year."
"Military Research Institute? Isn't it in the palace?"
Davon could remember how he got in and out. Now that he heard Zayn say this, he couldn't help but
feel a little surprised.
Zayn shook his head and said, "The Military Research Institute in the palace is just a shell. How could
a person like Leo, who cherishes his life, put such a dangerous biochemical facility under his nose?
Isn't he afraid that an explosion will blow him up someday? The real research facility is in the Dark
Forest, and I only learned about it recently. Because Leo didn't pass the throne to me, I don't know the
route, but I didn't expect it to explode. If the liquid under research leaks out, the consequences will be
unimaginable."
"Where's Laurence?"
Davon suddenly thought of Laurence.
It was impossible for the Military Research Institute to explode for no reason. Furthermore, they had no
clue about who was behind Laurence. Wasn't Dr. Miller not there? So, did Laurence do it?
Davon always felt a little uneasy.
Hearing that, Zayn hurriedly asked his assistant to look for Laurence, but when Davon and Zayn
arrived, he was nowhere to be seen.
Corpses were everywhere in the Military Research Institute in the palace and the victims died
miserably. They wore white coats with numbers on them. They were probably all members of the
institute.
But these people died.
Broken arms and legs made people feel nauseous.
The bloody scene dimmed Davon's eyes.
Laurence did it?
But why in such a bloody way?
He knew from Samuel that Laurence had gone to the island for special training, so if he wanted to kill
these people, he could kill them with a single slash. There was no need for such a cruel method of
dismembering them unless Laurence's hidden killing spree was activated. He could lose his mind and
become a killing machine.
Thinking of this, Davon became solemn.
"I'll go home. Don't go to the Dark Forest. I'll bring someone there."
Davon looked at Zayn very seriously.
"Is there any danger?"
This was the first time Zayn had felt care from his elder brother, and he couldn't help but frown.
"Nonsense, don't you know if there's any danger? Your current identity is special. You're the King of F
Country, and so many people are waiting for you to get the country back on track. Leave these small
matters to me. Moreover, Laurence is someone Nicole cares about. It's useless for you to go. I'm a
doctor of medicine, and I have more experience in this field than you. Be good."
As he spoke, Davon reached out and touched Zayn's head. Seeing that, the assistant beside him
lowered his head and broke out in cold sweat.
Davon was probably the only one who dared to touch the head of the King. Furthermore, the King did
not stop him. He only frowned slightly.
"Be careful."
Zayn wasn't used to being comforted like a child, but strangely enough, he didn't dodge. This was the
first time his relatives had treated him so intimately. He did not want to refuse.
No one saw it anyway.
With a glance, he saw the assistant, who wished he could put his head under his crotch. Zayn's eyes
darkened a little, but he didn't say anything.
Davon nodded and walked out.
When he returned to the Sawyer's, he saw Kim waiting at the door.
"The Dark Forest exploded. The guards in the palace immediately sealed it off. Our people cannot
enter."
"Don't go in if you can't. Kim, the Sawyers have lots of family troubles. You have to pay more attention
in the future."
Davon looked at his younger brother who had grown up with him and said with a smile.
"Brother, are you going to the Dark Forest? I'll go with you."
Kim couldn't let his only relative take risks alone.
But Davon smiled and said, "You're the Patriarch of the family. Why are you still so childish? Do you
know how many people are following you? You can't be a wayward person now. Be good. I know what I
should do. If I encounter danger, I won't fight head-on. I'm not stupid."
Kim seemed to have expected that Davon would refuse, so his expression became a little ugly.
"Davon, did you do it on purpose?"
"What?"
"You deliberately passed the position of Patriarch to me because you don't want to be bound by these
responsibilities, didn't you? You even want these responsibilities to tie me down. I can't go anywhere. I
used to be your shadow no matter where you went, but now you don't want me. How can you?"
As he spoke, Kim's eyes turned red.
Davon felt a little uncomfortable.
"Kim, you are not my shadow. You are the young master of the Sawyer family. You have your own life.
Do you know that you are independent? No one could follow a person for the rest of their lives, not
even their own brothers. We have to start a family and take care of it. Now that I have a wife, you will
find a woman of your own to get married and have children in the future. We all have responsibilities on
our shoulders, so don't be childish."
"I don't care. I want to follow you anyway. I don't want to be independent. I would rather be your
shadow. From childhood until now, you have always brought me with you on every errand. You said
that you would take me to the Sawyer's to recognize my ancestors. But you did it alone and you
abandoned me after that."
"I didn't."
"You just don't want me! Dad is gone. You are the only family I've got now. I can't stop you from taking
risks, but I will be with you. I don't want to see any of my family dead anymore. I don't want to wait for
you to come back alone. I don't want to!"
Kim had never been so willful before, but looking at the man who was about the same height as him
crying, Davon felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
"Kim."
"Leo is dead. I have avenged my father. The country needs money to recover. I donated half of the
Sawyer family's property. I will leave the rest to other people. I don't have any responsibility but you
now."
Perhaps Kim felt that crying was embarrassing, he hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears, but he was
still childish.
Davon was a little depressed.
He had painstakingly transferred the property to Kim, but he didn't expect that he would be so big-
hearted and give them away.
Even though the "other people" he said did not have any ambitions for the position of Patriarch, Davon
still felt a little regretful for Kim.
"Stop crying. Whining is not a man's thing. My wife will think I'm bullying you if she sees it. Follow me if
you want, but don't take the risk, okay?"
"Got it, brother."
Kim laughed and quickly ran into the courtyard.
Looking at his silhouette, Davon shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Why was such a grown man still like a child?
And Zayn...
He must have failed the two younger brothers in his previous life. Otherwise, they wouldn't have
tortured him in this life.
Davon pushed open the door and entered. When he returned to his room, he saw Phoenix sitting in
front of the dressing table, distracted.
"What are you thinking?"
Davon hugged her from behind.
Sensing the familiar aura, Phoenix regained her senses. She looked at Davon's handsome face from
the mirror and smiled, "You are back?"
"Yep. Why were you so absent-minded just now?"
"I'm fine."
Phoenix lowered her head, a trace of disappointment flashing through her eyes.
She couldn't say that she was a little jealous of Nicole.
Nicole already had three children, and she didn't know if she could have one of her own in her life. She
didn't care if she would be alone, but now, she was Davon's wife. Even though Davon said that he
would cure her, she still refused to believe it.
So many famous doctors had said that she couldn't be a mother, but because of Davon's words, she
had hope again. However, it was followed by nervousness, uneasiness, and apprehension.
Phoenix's hand involuntarily touched her belly.
Davon narrowed his eyes and immediately understood what she was thinking.
He bent down and whispered softly in Phoenix's ear, "Shall we spend two years alone together? Wait
until this matter is over, then I'll take you to travel around the world, okay?"
"What nonsense. How could your profession allow you to go on a trip with me?"
Phoenix patted Davon's hand and treated it as a comfort.
Davon smiled and said, "I have saved up all my vacations these years. If I apply, plus my wedding
vacation and honeymoon trip, I will have more than a year's vacation. I can be with you wherever you
go."
"Really?"
"If I lied, I would be turned into a dog."
The corners of Phoenix's lips rose.
"Save it. Otherwise, I'll let you bark for the rest of your life."
"Is that so?"
Davon suddenly barked, stunning Phoenix, as if she had been struck by lightning.
Had Davon, who had always been arrogant, been possessed by something?
Seeing his wife's incredulous gaze, Davon couldn't help blushing.
"What's the difference between barks?"
Phoenix laughed out loud.
"You're so strange today, do you have something to do behind my back?"
Davon felt that his wife knew him too well, but he smiled and said, "What can I do? Aren't all my
thoughts about you?"
"Save it, why are you looking for the King today? Is it ..."
Before Phoenix could finish her words, Davon covered her mouth with his thin lips. The lingering kiss
seemed to suck Phoenix's soul out, and she forgot about what she was thinking. She felt dizzy and was
carried onto the bed by Davon. Intense sex started...
