Chapter 680: Night Rescue Operation (1/2)
'What does this all mean?' Leon shortly frowned in thought.
Looking back on his family's ancestry, he basically knew nothing about his ancestors after the time of Aldrich the Hero King and before his grandpa, the previous king that went missing.
Considering the long-standing one heir tradition, it was impossible for each generation of the Crawford royal family's firstborn to be male every time.
Some princesses must have been born in those 512 years.
'Don't tell me that one of my great grandmas teleported to the Dark Continent and started a family with the Battle God's descendants, or maybe even the Battle God himself?'
Leon was startled by the thought.
It seemed like an insane and ridiculous idea, but not impossible. Otherwise, it could not explain how there was a familial connection between their blood.
After pondering hard for a moment, Leon found no definite answer.
It was an endless stream of discoveries with no seeming end; one mystery unraveled, and another unfolds.
'It seems like I can only inquire into this matter further from the party in question themselves. For now, I need to focus on treating this kid.'
After Leon decided, he continued his treatment.

Wildlands, Desolate Netherbird Tribe's border
Nethergrass city.
At that moment, various fires burned with pillars of smoke rising like tendrils in the dark of the night city skies, causing chaos and alarm among the local residents as they rushed to smother out the flames.
”You!” the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince singled out a servant with hasty footsteps from within his palace before he queried with a strong tone, ”What is going on outside?”
”Someone or group started several fires in the city, Your Highness!” the male servant answered hurriedly to the best of his knowledge.
Pah!
The male servant was quickly slammed to the ground before the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince stomped on the male servant irritatedly in anger, ”Don't you think I can't see that? I'm asking who! Who is causing trouble in my city?!”
”I don't know, Your Highness! Please spare me—Ahhh! Have mercy, Your Highness!” the male servant cried as several of his bones were crushed.
Bam!
The male servant's body slid along the ground after being kicked in the gut before the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince shot his gaze at the other servants in the area.
”Who can tell me who is causing trouble in my city?!” the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince's frustrated voice resounded throughout the palace.
However, the servants kept their heads lowered in silence, not daring to look the second prince in the eye directly, afraid that the second prince will vent his anger on them next, verbally and physically.
Alas, their silence fueled the Desolate Netherbird Second Prince's anger even more as he thundered, ”Who?!”
”We don't know, Your Highness!” the servants answered simultaneously with a startled jump before their bodies continued to tremble with fear.
The Desolate Netherbird Second Prince glared at them before he howled, ”Then what are you all standing around for?! Go and find out who!”
