Chapter 442: Brotherly Love Cannibalism; Qin Hanyue: Real dog blood, Xiao Ying certainly does not like to hear

Chapter 442

Lai En: "When you disappeared that year, my father used all his connections to desperately look for you for half a year. Why..."

Lai En looked at Frank, who was laughing hysterically, and realized something: "Could your disappearance back then have something to do with my father?"

The one in front of Lai En who he called uncle and looked exactly like Lafeier named Frank, and Lai En's father, the head of the Howard Family Lafeier, were twin brothers.

When the two were born, the entire Howard Family rejoiced and held a grand banquet, the whole country knew about it.

Their mother was regarded as a great contributor to the family.

The twin brothers grew up showered with praise.

From a young age well into their teens and twenties, the two were inseparable. They excelled in their studies, helped manage the family business together after graduation, supported each other, looked after one another, and grew up together, living up to the family's expectations.

In everyone's eyes, the feelings, tacit understanding and bond between the twins were stronger and deeper than those between ordinary siblings, but only they themselves knew whether this was true.

Ten years ago, Frank, who was out on business, had an accident and disappeared without a trace. Lafeier used all his connections to look for him but failed.

The search lasted half a year.

He vanished without a trace, dead or alive unknown.

It was reasonable to assume Frank had met with foul play.

Unwilling to accept this cruel reality, the Howard Family continued the desperate search for half a year. Half a year later, Lafeier reluctantly announced Frank's death and held a funeral for him.

From then on, there was only one brother left without the other.

But the truth was that Frank, who was presumed dead, had been living under his brother Lafeier's identity, openly and legally, in front of everyone without people realizing he was the younger brother.

He had even killed his own elder brother.

Now it seemed that the one who announced Frank's death half a year later was not the elder brother Lafeier at all...

"Disappeared? Looked for me?" Hearing these words, Frank laughed even louder and more hysterically, almost laughing himself to tears.

"He did use all his connections and sent everyone he could to look for me... to kill me. Disappearing was not enough, he had to see my corpse to believe I was dead." Frank's expression oscillated between laughter and frenzy.

Qin Hanyue: How melodramatic, little shadow probably doesn't like listening to this.

Seeing the disgust in Lai En's eyes provoked Frank. His gaze towards Lai En instantly turned complicated, with love, hatred and disgust all mixed together.

With a gloomy expression, he said: "Disgusted isn't it? Good, disgusted is right."

"Although I lost in the power struggle with the Karolin Clan, between him and me, I won. I'm using his identity, occupying his wife. His precious son calls me father. And in the future even his grandchildren will call me grandpa. If not for that damned trash dragging me down today, I would be the king father of a kingdom under no one but above all! I did it, I succeeded. Under my leadership the Howard Family will usher an unprecedented glorious era, something even he might not achieve."

"Today I, Frank Howard, may have lost. But in the public eye the one who rebelled and plotted treason was him, Lafeier Howard! His name will be forever condemned. He lost completely, completely hahaha!"

In Frank's perspective, he did not lose at all.

Lai En quietly watched Frank descend into madness, lightly frowning.

After a while, he turned and told Lin Cheng: "Weren't you taking me to face military court? Go ahead."

Silver handcuffs locked Lai En's wrists.

The maddened Frank quieted down, staring at the handcuffs on Lai En's wrists.

Lai En: "I have a request."

Lin Cheng looked at him.

Lai En: "The ones who rebelled and plotted treason were Frank Howard and I, Lai En Howard. I hope Duke Lin... no, Your Majesty, would clear my father's name."

Lin Cheng glanced at Frank and said: "I can consider it."

Lai En thanked him, then walked towards outside the great hall.

Frank completely lost his mind: "Lai En, you can't do that. You can't do that! Your mother truly loved me. She should've been my wife. You should've been my child. I should've been your father. It was that damned Lafeier who snatched everything from me, snatched your mother and you! Lai En! Come back!"

Frank frantically screamed at Lai En's retreating back.

Lai En walked out of the great hall step by step. He looked over the imperial guards lined up below the stairs. Then raised his head towards the pitch dark night sky.

A few sparse stars glittered. Half unwillingness half relief showed in his tired eyes.
