    Chapter 968 Serve Tea to Master


    The implication was that Dominik would eventually eradicate them to prevent any future troubles if they


    decided to cooperate and support him to be the head of the n.


    "You''re the prince of Castron. Use that as a condition to negotiate with Dominik. I believe you''ll obtain


    some unexpected gains from each other," Antheena concluded her speech. Her words seemed to


    awaken Zac from a dream.


    A sudden realization struck him, and his eyes flickered with a dim light of understanding. Then, he


    smiled knowingly. "You''re intelligent, Antheena."


    Her kind reminder filled his satisfaction toward her that day. Subsequently, he red at the servant


    nearby. "Why are you standing there doing nothing? Don''t you know how to serve tea to the guest?"


    That night, Zac secretly met with Dominik. They shared a private discussion in the room thatsted


    more than two hours before they departed the venue separately.


    That was a night where few people would be able to sleep peacefully. The ascension ceremony was


    getting closer with every minute. Hence, the Ledgers and the Elrods were training their troops secretly


    to carry out various schemes.


    When Veronica and Shirley were hospitalized, Crayson kept attempting to visit them at the hospital, but


    Matthew repeatedly rejected the man''s request.


    After learning that they were about to be discharged, he decided to visit One Piece Restaurant in


    person to meet with them. He entered before Dean went upstairs to knock on Veronica''s door, stating,


    "Miss Murphy, Mr. Crayson is here."


    Veronica had been resting on a deck chair on the balcony when she heard Dean''s announcement. A


    layer of frost instantly appeared on her chilly countenance. Rising to her feet, she walked over and


    opened the door to tell Dean, "Let him up."


    "Alright." He nodded.


    Just as he was about to leave, she halted him. "Wait."


    "Do you need anything else, Miss Murphy?"


    "Don''t let Skyler and Shirley know about his arrival," she reminded anxiously.


    "Okay." Dean epted the order and went back downstairs.


    A few minutester, Crayson appeared outside the living room. He wore a ck double-breasted shirt


    with short sleeves, a pair of gray, loose pants, and a headpiece with a ck-and-gray id pattern. It


    was the typical dressing style of the hidden n.


    Standing by the door, the usual hale and hearty man seemed mournful and bleak, giving off dispirit. In


    the beginning, Veronica did not even bother to nce at him; instead, she simply sat on the couch and


    brewed a pot of tea. Her movements were slow, almost as though she enjoyed the leisurely moments


    in life. At the same time, it felt like she was waiting for something.


    "Are you alone?" Crayson casually inquired upon seeing her solitude.


    "You''re lucky he''s not around. Otherwise, your old bones might not survive a beating from him."


    Veronica picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea. cing the cup on the opposite side of the


    table, she poured another serving for herself before picking it up with her slender fingers. Blowing at


    the steam, she inhaled the deep fragrance of the tea. "I specially brewed some calming tea for you in


    case you were guilty of doing something wrong."

    Her words held a different meaning beneath the surface, but how could he not know what she meant?


    He walked over to the couch and took a seat opposite her. "I came here today to tell you about Shirley."


    Lowering her head, she quietly savored her tea without saying a word.


    He continued, "I have a secret weapon hidden in my ring." After saying that, he raised his finger and


    pressed an inconspicuous button to activate a secret mechanism hidden in the ring. Swiftly, the sharp


    tip of a de emerged from the dragon''s head. "On that day, I used the de in my ring to slice


    through the ropes to escape. However, Shirley noticed my actions and clung to my arm tightly to stop


    me from leaving. As I escaped, I shook her off violently. Unfortunately, my excessive strength led the


    de to sh across her face."


    After a brief exnation of the events that day, he stopped speaking and watched her calmly. His aged


    face filled with an inexplicable sense of mncholy and sorrow.


    "Are you done?"
