Kapitel 1704: The Old Man's Past

Alex looked at the old man with a start. "You want to kill the Dragon Emperor?" he asked. "Is there a reason?"

The old man looked at Alex seemingly wondering if he wanted to reveal more.

"He murdered my family." The old man's eyes darkened slightly, a look of pain flashing through them as he remembered the past.

"Your family? Why did he do that?" Alex asked. "Did they do something wrong?"

"They did nothing wrong," the man snapped. "They were good people, living a good life. And then, out of nowhere, that bastard accused my father of treason and treachery, using people he planted as proof. He said he was planning a coup."

"They had my father executed, his wives killed, his family slaughtered. None of them were left alive," he said. "And for that, I will kill that bastard, one way or another."
