Chapter 494: Tyrant

Suddenly, Emperor Xia contained his wrath. However, it was also like the calm before the storm.

Lei Nuo, who was on all fours on the ground, grew anxious. He had too much experiences with Emperor Xia's moodiness, which was why even he did not dare guarantee whether he could retreat unscathed.

Lei Hong was one of the few older chancellors within the court and he made a move by his own accords today. That was why he had something to rely on as he begged for Emperor Xia's sentiments just now but more importantly, it was because Lei Nuo was his son.

The expression on Emperor Xia's face was like the spring after a heavy rain. He said slowly, "Since Elder Lei had begged for mercy, then you will keep your life for now. Get up."

Lei Nuo then slowly got up and returned to his spot behind his father, Lei Hong.
