Chapter 1002: This Is a Trap

"Aina, Chen Tang, you dare show your faces here?"

After a brief moment of shock, Charles's figure shook, and his complexion instantly turned an iron blue. Waving his hand in fury, he commanded, "Guards, seize them immediately…"

Clearly, the man had realized something was amiss, but now that he was in too deep, he had no choice but to brazen it out.

Following his command, the more than a hundred guards Charles had brought sprang into action, quickly surrounding them, ready to strike…

"How dare you!"

Before they could lift a hand, Uncle Dirk's expression darkened, and he suddenly rebuked, "I have not given the order. Who gave you the boldness? Kneel!"

"Thud!"

"Thud…"

All the charging guards shuddered in fear, their faces pale as sheets, and in the blink of an eye, they knelt en masse.

Everything happened so fast, so suddenly, that the surrounding members of the Royal Family and the guards, the maids, all stood with their mouths agape, stunned and utterly silent.
