Betrayal

"If you won't calm down…" Zhou Jingren's words echoed inside the Duke's office. "You will die and people will think I hurt you. Meaning… I would be prosecuted and your family will die." He calmly said. He eyed the Duke for a few seconds before he smiled. "No one would want that, right?"

Considering that these people are not your blood brothers then... you get my point, right?" Zhou Jingren shrugged as he thought of his own grandfather being killed by his own brother, for wealth. "Do you really think they will consider you someone special just because… you spent some time when you were kids? Just because you treat them like family?"
