Leo was coming here?
What a coincidence!
Samuel originally planned to leave, but now he retreated and hid himself again.
Zayn was quite nervous now, but he still tried his best to maintain calm.
"Father."
Zayn bowed respectfully, but there were actually no respect in his heart.
This man stood by and watched him when he needed help the most. Now, no matter what his goal was, Zayn would not be influenced by him.
Leo looked at Zayn and his eyes flashed.
Zayn looked like Sally. His eyebrows, expression, and even his cold temperament were similar to Sally's.
Leo waved his hand and let Zayn sit down.
"I've heard you went to see Inez?"
Leo said casually, which surprised Zayn. He whispered, "Yes, Inez has caught a cold. I had nothing to do here, so I went to see her."
"You have nothing to do here? How come I don't know that you two are so close?"
Leo looked at Zayn with a faint smile, but his gaze was still cold.
Zayn was not scared. He looked straight into Leo's eyes and said, "There are still many things that you don't know."
"Well, for example?"
"For example, I went to Sienna's place."
Zayn voluntarily mentioned Sienna.
If Sienna really wanted to support him as she said, this time it would be a test for her. Once Sienna had said something to Leo, he would kill her immediately. This was for the safety of him and Nicole.
Leo frowned slightly.
"Zayn, you've been in close contact with these two sisters recently."
"What do you want to say?"
Zayn sounded indifferent. That alienation in his words made Leo unhappy.
"I'm your father. Can't I care about you? How dare you speak to me like that?"
Zayn sneered and said, "I have grown up. I don't quite need your love and concern. You should spare time to govern the country. As for an insignificant son like me, there is no need to occupy your time."
Leo suddenly felt a little depressed.
When did his son grow up? Right now, Zayn's expression of alienation and indifference reminded Leo of their past.
"Are you blaming me?"
"I'm not."
Zayn was neither humble nor pushy.
This was different from what Leo had assumed.
When he learned that his son was a gay, he was furious.
At that time, he thought Zayn was useless.
There were so many women in the world, yet he actually fell out with his brothers for a man. It was crazy. However, after seeing Zayn today, Leo suddenly didn't think so.
He felt that he couldn't understand his son.
Thinking of this, Leo softened his tone and said, "Zayn, maybe you still blame me for not being a good father, but I have too many responsibilities on my shoulders and I'm not allowed to have time to stay with you. However, you are my son, and I still love you in my heart."
"I know."
Zayn replied calmly. He didn't believe the king at all.
Love him?
Would he have lived so hard if king loved him?
Leo knew that Zayn didn't believe him when he saw Zayn's eyes, but the estrangement between them for so many years couldn't be changed overnight.
Leo sighed. "Don't make things difficult for Major."
So that was why the king came here today!
Nicole was still an outsider to the Miller family.
"Zayn, I know you still have a grudge against me. Think about Samuel. He is so rich and he can even design war chariots and weapons. If he wants to attack our country, working with him will only push our country to an irreversible state. Your uncle and I covet the mineral vein of their country. We are enemies actually. Do you think Samuel will let go of our country? Don't be stupid. They are our enemies. Right now, the most important thing is for you brothers to band together. Do you understand?"
Zayn finally realized something.
"What exactly are you trying to say? Do you think the person you are looking for is here? Then why don't you ask someone to search this place?"
These words were a little disrespectful, but it didn't matter anymore.
Leo had never come to see him before. He suddenly came and said so many things. He even told him Major's true identity. As a matter of fact, he was trying to say that Samuel and Nicole were outsiders and Zayn shouldn't be too close to the outsiders.
But to Zayn, what was an outsider?
When he needed help the most, it was Samuel and Nicole, who helped him. As for Leo, a father, what was he doing at that time?
National interests, ore veins, and scientific research were all bullshit!
He wished he could destroy this country and this palace. He didn't care whether Country F could become a world power or not. He didn't even care about the throne of the country. Now, he did all this only for revenge.
For Pedro and for his mother.
Leo was so funny. He thought that Zayn wanted to rule the whole country.
Zayn had never been so ambitious. All he wanted was live a quiet and peaceful life with the person he loved. However, such a simple wish had become extravagant.
When the person he wanted to protect was gone, what else could he care about?
Nicole said that she was an outsider, but she was his mother's only nephew and his only sister. If she and Samuel wanted country F, he would offer it to them.
However, he wouldn't tell Leo about these. He didn't think it was necessary. He stared straight at Leo, not caring about him searching the palace.
Looking at Zayn, Leo was a little angry.
He had said so much and almost tried to please Zayn. Did this son also want to go against him like Sally?
Leo didn't look quite good when thinking of this.
"I won't search this place. However, after so many years, there should be some furniture in your palace that the decoration needs to be changed. I also neglected it. Anyone outside? Send a team over to take a good look at the furniture here. If something needed to be changed, just do it in time. Get a new batch the afternoon."
Although Leo sounded concerned about Zayn, he actually meant that he was going to search the palace. Samuel, who was hiding in the darkness, paused for a moment and felt nervous.
