Chapter 1388
After Tristan came out of the room, Teagan immediately followed behind him. As an assistant who
grew up with him, and as his substitute as well, Teagan asked boldly, "Sir Tristan, are you really
nning on cutting off Mr. Ye''s hand? Mrs. Ye will probably eat you."
"She’ll kill me!"
At the thought of Mango''s feelings for Nathaniel, Tristan couldn''t help but shake his head and smile
bitterly.
"By the way, don''t call her Mrs. Ye in the future. She is my sister, so you should call her Lady
Mango. Nathaniel should be called Sir Nathaniel."
Tristan felt awkward.
His younger sister lived at his ce now, so why was she still being addressed as Mrs. Ye? From
what he heard, she sounded like an outsider. Although the Acker family wouldn''t feelfortable at
first, he just needed to give the orders and they wouldply.
Teagan naturally did as he was told, but he said worriedly, "Sir Tristan, Prisci may not know about
your feelings for her. I don''t think it will be effective to use Sir Nathaniel to threaten her in the long
run. Why didn''t you tell her that you didn''t want her to go with you because you didn''t want to make
things difficult for her? That you''re worried that Laborn will hurt her? What if she hates you even
more by saying so vicious things?"
"Sh*t! The person I, Tristan Acker, likes, has to tolerate it even if she hates me. Anyway, she can''t
run from me ever again. Have you forgotten how she had tormented me back then?"
Tristan said as he frowned slightly, andplicated emotions shed through his eyes.
Teagan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and thinking of how Tristan used to be, he fell
silent.
This person had always made sure that others would pay the price for hurting him, no matter how
much time had passed. Fortunately, Prisci still had a ce in Tristan''s heart. Otherwise, Teagan
wouldn''t dare to imagine what she would be now.
It was widely known that the young master of the Acker family was gentle and cultivated. However,
only Teagan knew his true colors and that all that gentleness was just a disguise. Tristan was a devil
in his bones.
Meanwhile, Mango and Nathaniel were stunned when they saw Tristane out of the room
without Prisci.
"Tristan, where''s Prisci?"
"She shall stay behind. After all, she is still Laborn''s daughter. When a conflict was to happen and
Laborn was to use her as a shield, we would be in a very disadvantageous position. If we abandon
her, it''ll be inappropriate as she is still one of us, but if we were to interfere, we would be exposed.
Besides, I don''t n on going in as the Acker family''s assistant. Although the Acker family is not
strong enough, it is still impossible for us to allow Laborn to make a fool out of us."
Tristan was really furious right now.
Nathaniel saw a killing intent in his eyes.
"Don''t go up against Laborn directly. We want him to fight with As. It''s best if As stands up to
him personally. As is the only one who has evidence of his crimes. Without evidence, Laborn
can''t be overthrown and our mission can''t bepleted."
Nathaniel''s words made Tristan narrow his eyes slightly.
"What I should do now is to find As and pledge my allegiance to him. The whole Ango knows
the reason why Laborn is giving me a hard time. If I support As, I believe he will step up. When
the timees, the two brothers will inevitably fight, but it will take more time this way."
Tristan was smart, so he knew what Nathaniel was nning when he heard Nathaniel''s words.
However, he really didn''t like to fight a long battle and wanted to end things straightforwardly.
It was his style to destroy what he didn''t like immediately!
Nathaniel sighed softly and said, "We don''t have a choice. After all, the world needs evidence. We
are only a small country, and the Union Nations need to participate in the jurisdiction. At that time,
we can''t say whatever we want. We will need to show evidence."
"I got it. I''ll take care of it. You and my sister can hide in the basement first. Laborn must not believe
me entirely, so that''s why he''s searching from house to house. Although the Acker family has
privileges, it is still part of standard procedures. I''ve already arranged everything. You two can go to
the basement first, and I''ll let you guys outter."
Tristan did not want to let them go through this, but the situation now did not allow him to care about
things like this.
Nathaniel didn''t mind, and Mango didn''t object either.
"Tristan, be careful in the pce."
"I will."
When Tristan''s eyes met Mango''s, warmth finally appeared in his cold and uncaring eyes. He was
about to touch Mango''s head out of habit, but Nathaniel stopped him.
"She''s married. Do I look dead to you?"
"What''s wrong with that? She''s still my sister!"
Then, Tristan hugged Mango boldly and smiled as he said, "I''ll be going now."
"Alright."
Mango found it very amusing.
However, Nathaniel was so angry that his face had darkened, and when saw that Mango was still
smiling, he couldn''t help but be even more furious.
Then, he reached out to pull Mango directly into his embrace, carried her, and left.
Seeing Nathaniel''s jealous look, Tristan felt much better.
"Fortunately, he is sincere to my sister. If he dares to have any other thoughts about Prisci, I don''t
care what military rank he has now."
Teagan only listened without saying anything, but he already knew what his attitude towards
Prisci should be like in the future.
After the two left the mansion, they quickly rushed to the pce.
When Laborn got the news, Tristan had already arrived at the gate of the pce. Because Tristan
was wearing a mask, no one dared to stop him, and besides, Laborn had also given orders.
Tristan was now a well-known figure, and this was naturally known all over the country. Now that he
was here, someone immediately reported it to Laborn, who was not surprised.
Meanwhile, Tristan''s adopted father, Arlo Acker, sat opposite Laborn. When he heard that his
adopted son hade with his men, he couldn''t help smiling and said, "Your Majesty, that son of
mine is too impulsive. I''m afraid he''s not suitable to be in the military. Please consider it carefully,
Your Majesty."
This meant that Arlo was refusing Laborn''s offer on behalf of Tristan.
Laborn had put a lot of effort to persuade Tristan into promising to join the military. How could he
give up now?
He suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile, "Sir Arlo is too modest. Your son is
young and talented. Talents like his are rare in our country. His talent should be used in the military.
Besides, children always have their own ideas when they grow up. It''s better to listen to Sir
Tristan''s opinion first."
As they were talking, someone reported that Tristan had alreadye in with his men.
Tristan was very arrogant and even somewhat ill-mannered as when he saw Laborn, he didn''t even
greet him, but spoke to Arlo first.
"Father, are you alright?"
"It''s nothing. His Majesty invited me over. What are you doing, child? You can''t this many bring
people into the pce. Tell them to leave now!"
Although Arlo was scolding him, there was a hint of pride in his eyes.
It was only then did Tristan look at Laborn, with a hint of dissatisfaction and fierceness in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? I''ve agreed to consider it. Are you trying to hold my father
captive to force me to agree? You should know that I, Tristan, am not an easily frightened person. If
my father can''t return home today, I don''t mind being a treacherous person. I believe many people
in the pce covet the position of Your Majesty. And it''s not necessarily because I can''t support
them."

As he said those words, the atmosphere in the pce suddenly became serious.
"Tristan, what are you talking about?"
Arlo broke out in cold sweat after hearing his son''s words.
Although he knew that his adopted son was arrogant and not afraid of anything, he didn''t expect
him to be this bold. He was challenging Laborn''s authority, and he was courting death!
For the first time, Arlo felt a chill run down his spine.
Meanwhile, Laborn was so angry that he wanted to kill Tristan there and then, but now, the gene
research had reached a critical moment, and no one could solve thebination of the gene
particles except Tristan.
Therefore, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and try his best to change the topic with a
smile. "Sir Tristan, you''re worrying too much. I haven''t seen your father in years, so I invited him
over to catch up. Since Sir Tristan is so worried, you can just escort him home. How can I not let
him go? It''s nonsense to say that I''m holding him captive."
"Is that so? It had better be it, then."
Tristan did not buy it at all. For so many years, he knew that the man in front of him was his enemy.
Laborn had forced his mother and hurt his birth father, and now his father had be this
miserable. He wanted to kill Laborn and get his revenge, but he was a soldier. Not only was he
carrying the hatred of his family, but the hatred of his country was on his shoulders too.
Now that he had to make a choice between the two, he could only let go of the hatred of his family
first. Why should Tristan suppress his anger?
Laborn saw a trace of killing intent in Tristan''s eyes, but it disappeared in a sh.
When he saw this, his heart missed a beat.
That look actually reminded him of that woman, Magnolia!
The two''s eyes were very simr, and they looked exactly the same when they red at him like
that. If Laborn hadn''t known that Tristan was the child of the Acker family, he would really doubt that
Tristan and Magnolia were rted.
Thinking of this, Laborn felt a littleplicated, and he didn''t want to continue his act with Tristan
anymore.
"Take your father away. I''m tired, so I won''t see you off. But if you dare bring this many people here
next time, don''t me me. Tristan, although you are talented, you should not cross the line. I am
still your king, and you can''t challenge me at will!"
After that, Laborn got up and left, with an angry look on his face.
Meanwhile, Arlo''s clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and when he saw that Laborn had left, he
grabbed Tristan''s hand and whispered, "You scared me to death! You''re so reckless! Aren''t you
afraid that Laborn will kill you?"
"Father, did he do anything to you?"
Tristan asked worriedly.
"No, he didn''t have the chance to anyway. Let''s go home."
Arlo had always felt very ufortable whenever he was here as he felt as if someone was
watching him. He was afraid that Tristan would say something outrageous again, so he dragged him
and left quickly.
Tristan saw Arlo''s worry, so he didn''t protest, and reached out to help Arlo up, while Teagan quickly
stepped forward to hold Arlo''s other arm.
When Arlo saw Teagan, he was slightly stunned and his entire body stiffened.
"You... you are..."
