Now that things had developed to this point, it was basically impossible to conceal it. Han Shuo also did not expect that such a drama would actually occur at such a crucial moment.
Emily's eyes were filled with tears. Having the truth exposed in front of so many people was completely out of her expectations. At this moment, her heart was filled with bitterness, bitterness, helplessness, fear, and all sorts of other emotions. This caused Emily's originally self-abased heart to be covered with cuts and bruises. Tears uncontrollably flowed down from her tender and smooth face.
"It's true!" Unexpectedly, before Emily could reply, Han Shuo had already coldly shouted.
When everyone's gazes turned towards Han Shuo, Han Shuo released the pale faced Phoebe's little hand and walked straight towards the tearful Emily. In front of everyone, he tightly grasped Emily's hand and slowly swept his gaze across the crowd with a gloomy face, saying, "What he said is absolutely correct. Emily is my woman. However, I was the one who painstakingly pursued her. It has nothing to do with anyone else!"
Old Hahn's face was ashen as he furiously glared at Han Shuo and Emily, repeatedly saying, "Good, very good. I never thought that such a scandal would actually occur in our Betteridge Family!"
"I'm very sorry about my sister's matter! However, if anyone wants to bully my sister, they will have to see if I agree or not! " One of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, Amyes, after a short period of shock, resisted the urge to ask Emily the truth and said to the crowd with a sneer.
As Emily's blood brother, only the siblings knew how much Amyes doted on Emily. At this crucial moment, Amyes unhesitatingly stood beside Emily. Looking at the tearful Emily, Amyes, who was like a god of death in the eyes of the nobles of the Empire, was similarly enraged.
"Brian, look at what you've done!" sacred swordmaster Karel coldly looked at Han Shuo and angrily shouted.
For a moment, the crowd once again focused on Han Shuo. Only now did everyone realize that the true culprit should be Han Shuo. All sorts of accusing and angry gazes landed on Han Shuo.
In the face of the crowd's anger, Han Shuo put on a gloomy face and looked at them one by one. In a deep voice, he said, "This is our business. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with you. If anyone thinks that they can use their power to pressure me, let's wait and see."
"Brat, you have guts!" He pointed at Han Shuo and said, "Leave those two girls for me right now. As long as you focus on taking care of my daughter, I can forget about what happened in the past. As long as you follow me to the southern border, no matter how chaotic Lancelot Empire is, I can guarantee that you will be safe and sound."
After a pause, Firenze continued, "Otherwise, we will fight to the death. Let's see who can still laugh in the end!"
"Father!" At this point, Fanny had a distressed expression and couldn't help but shout. Fanny also didn't expect that things would develop to this stage. However, she also couldn't control Firenze's temper. She simply didn't know when he would go crazy. Currently, Emily, Phoebe, herself, and Han Shuo were all in an extremely awkward situation.
Originally, it was only Han Shuo's private matter, but it had been turned into a three-way meeting. Fanny naturally pushed the blame onto herself, thinking that Brian would definitely hate me now. Heavens, what should I do?
"Brian, now that things have come to this, aren't you going to give us an explanation?" Old Hahn's face was ashen as he furiously glared at Han Shuo.
Looking at the tearful Emily, looking at the distressed Emily, and finally glancing at the terrified Phoebe, Han Shuo took a deep breath. Under everyone's attentive gaze, Han Shuo said in a low voice, "I have already told the three of you the ins and outs of this matter in detail. The three of you should be clear about the course of events. Now that things have come to this, I have nothing else to say. You all know how I have treated you.
Here, I will give you all a choice, and you all will also give yourselves a choice. If you are willing to follow me, as long as you agree, I will face any difficulties together with you. As long as you are willing to follow me, I guarantee that I will treat you well in the future and won't let anyone bully you.
If you can't accept it, then consider it as me owing you all in this lifetime. Our fate in this lifetime ends here. From today onwards, we will no longer have any relationship! "
"Brat, what kind of nonsense are you spouting! Now that things have come to this, do you still want to have women on both sides? "Firenze was furious. He lifted up his sleeves, intending to settle the score with Han Shuo.
Han Shuo's face was gloomy. He glared at Firenze and angrily said, "None of your business! The one I want to marry isn't you. Why are you wasting so much time talking? "
"Dammit, this stinking brat has quite a temper. No one in Lancelot Empire dares to speak to me like this. Let's see how you …" Firenze loudly shouted and prepared to charge at Han Shuo.
"Father, I don't need you to meddle in my affairs!" Fanny grabbed Firenze and shouted.
"I'm willing. I don't care about anything. As long as you want me, I will follow you!" The tearful Emily was the first to express her stance. She was already willing to give up everything.
Emily tightly grabbed onto Han Shuo's hand. Due to the force, her fingertips had sunk into his flesh. It was as though Emily wanted to use this method to gain strength and courage.
"Brother, I'm sorry. I love him. I'm very sorry for bringing trouble to you, but I can't leave him!" Emily's tears flowed down her cheeks as she looked at Amyes.
Amyes' body trembled. He suddenly recalled the miserable childhood that the two of them had to depend on each other for many years …
"Silly girl, what are you saying these things for? No matter what, I will always stand by your side!" Amyes said to Emily with a doting smile on his face.
As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. This was how Amyes felt towards Emily. Both of their parents died when they were young. It was Amyes who painstakingly brought up Emily. Everything that the two of them had today was obtained step by step by risking their lives. In Amyes' heart, the most important person in this world was his younger sister. He married Emily to the Betteridge Family, but Emily's husband died on the battlefield before they could consummate their marriage. After so many years, Emily became a widow with a hot potato.
Amyes clearly understood Emily's pain all these years. He had placed all the blame on himself and had always wanted to fight for Emily's happiness. However, Emily didn't have anyone she liked. Now that the situation had developed to this point, Amyes felt that it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad either. Without thinking, he would naturally prioritize his younger sister's happiness.
"Thank you big brother!" Emily cried as she expressed her thanks. Soon after, she looked at Old Hahn who had a strange expression on his face and continued, "Father, I have been living very well in the Betteridge Family all these years. I really treat you as my father. I also know that you dote on me very much and I am very grateful to you. I know that my actions might have tarnished the Betteridge Family's reputation. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Please forgive me, father. You have always been my father."
Old Hahn's expression froze as he stared blankly at Emily. After a long while, Old Hahn sighed and did not say anything. With a lonely expression, he walked towards the meeting hall on the third floor.
"I am also willing. I don't care about anything. Father, please don't meddle in my affairs!" Fanny tightly grabbed onto Firenze, as if she was afraid that Firenze would be so enraged that he would throw caution to the wind. She continued in a shrill voice, "If you don't promise me, I will run away from home again and make it so that you will never be able to find me again!"
Firenze, who had been clamoring about killing Han Shuo, was suddenly stunned. His face flushed red as he pointed at Han Shuo and cursed, "What's so good about this kid? There are so many good men in the Lancelot Empire. Why do you have to be so fixated on a half-hearted fellow? For him, you actually want to run away from home?"
"Father, you may be good at fighting, but you will never understand true love. My mother has been waiting for you her entire life, always worried that something would happen to you on the battlefield. When she was sick and on the verge of death, you were still fighting a war thousands of miles away. Even when my mother died of depression, you were not by her side.
You have already destroyed her life's happiness. Don't tell me you want to destroy my happiness as well? " Fanny was somewhat hysterical. Seeing Firenze break free from her hand and rush towards Han Shuo, she suddenly shrieked.
Firenze, who had struggled with great difficulty to break free from Fanny's grasp, suddenly froze midway. His face was extremely distorted and his breathing was uneven. It was as if he was some kind of wild beast about to go berserk.
Everyone was startled and looked at Firenze with some apprehension, fearing that he would do something crazy regardless of everything. This person's reputation had always been different from ordinary people. Therefore, everyone had reason to believe that he would go crazy.
Even Han Shuo was somewhat apprehensive and secretly raised his guard. He thought that if Firenze dared to recklessly attack his opponent, he would first knock him out and tie him up to prevent him from jumping up and down energetically. At that time, he would explain everything to Fanny.
Under everyone's attentive gazes, Firenze's distorted face actually gradually calmed down. However, his expression was still frighteningly gloomy. After a long while, Firenze turned his head to look at Fanny. Using a calm tone for the first time in a long time, he asked Fanny, "Lass, have you really made up your mind?"
Immediately nodding, Fanny's expression was resolute as she said, "Father, I have decided."
"Brat, can you bring Lass happiness?" Firenze fiercely glared at Han Shuo and asked word by word.
"As long as I am alive, no one can bully her!" Han Shuo raised his hand and solemnly guaranteed with a solemn expression.
