Chapter 435 Father 2 (2/2)
”I will kill you! I will definitely kill you!!!”
Han Xiao looked at the furious Langley calmly, and when his throat became hoarse from the screaming and could only stare at him while breathing heavily, Han Xiao said slowly, ”Okay, enough jokes. Your daughter is outside the gate. I captured her. I brought her here just to see you.”
Langley froze and could not react to it. He felt extremely weak from the emotional rollercoaster. He collapsed onto the floor, pointed his trembling finger at Han Xiao, but could not speak a word.
Han Xiao squatted, looked Langley in the eye, and said, ”You're a smart person. Whether I kill your daughter or not depends on you.”
Langley's expression changed many times. He lowered his head and kept silent.
”Speak, I don't have the patience to wait for you to consider.” Han Xiao knocked the metal cage impatiently.
”I'm not a good person… but you're eviler than me.” Langley's eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He said with a hoarse voice, ”I will do it. I will tell her everything about me. I was a high-level spy for another force from the start. I was controlled by someone else, and everything I did was to overturn the rules built by the New Phylen Alliance. I will tell her that I have been lying to her. I'm not who she thinks I am. I'm just a despicable traitor, an evil man who destroyed thousands of families for his own benefit. I will destroy the image she has for me and make her feel… completely disappointed… in me, her father…”
”You know what to do.” Han Xiao stood up.
Langley looked at Han Xiao and said, ”This way, will you let my daughter go?”
Han Xiao did not bother to reply, he turned to walk toward the door and left him with one last reminder. ”Anyway, if I do not like the result after the conversation, I will make what I said earlier a reality… This is the one and only chance I'm giving you.”
He opened the door and left the cell. He immediately saw Sylvia's anxious face. She was staring at him with rage but could not control herself from glancing at the gap of the door.
”Go in, you have ten minutes.”
Han Xiao waved his hand and told Aroshia to let Sylvia go. Sylvia rushed into the cell and could not wait to see her father.
After closing the door, the warden turned on the surveillance footage and monitored Sylvia's conversation with Langley. Sylvia's change in her expression could be clearly seen.
She turned from anxious to stunned, then shocked, then there was an intense argument. They could even faintly hear Sylvia's out of control howling through the thick metal door. In the end, tears gushed out from her eyes.

”It's ten minutes.”
The warden opened the gate and brought Sylvia out.
She looked like she had lost her soul. Her eyes were out of focus, and there were still tear marks on her face. She lost all motivations and was like a walking corpse. Her energy from ten minutes ago was nowhere to be found. The strong belief that she had been holding onto had collapsed.
Only then did she know that the great image of her father in her heart was completely built from lies. She had been lied to for more than ten years. He was not a great man; everything he did was despicable, and he deserved every bit of suffering that he had now. Even without the mercenaries interfering, he would have been defeated by the army sooner or later. If not for Black Star, her father would not even have been alive.
Her world had collapsed. The warm and bright childhood images in her memories all felt different.
Everything was a lie!
She felt like her heart was being penetrated by a thousand bullets.
She could not even digest this information in a short time. Her vision started spinning, and all the sound became distant and faint like she was isolated from the world.
Plop.
Sylvia collapsed onto the ground and fainted.
Through the slowly closing gap of the door, Han Xiao looked at Langley for the last time.
This rebel leader looked like he was decades older, but his face was very calm. It even had a tint of… relief.
Han Xiao shook his head, grabbed Sylvia by her back collar, and placed this kid over his shoulder like a sack.
”Congratulations on growing up.”
