บท 247: 247. Night of the Banquet - 12

"Merlin! Long time no see!" Kane grinned as he saw the middle-aged man appear in the hall.

"You've gotten worse," Merlin said, shaking his head in pity. "It's corrupting you."

"Hahaha, you said the same thing that day," Kane smiled strangely.

Merlin frowned. "And I was right. You're changing in ways even you can't comprehend."

"That was just an excuse," Kane shook his head and looked at Merlin with a serious expression. "You just don't want Nuwa to marry me."

"I did what I had to do," Merlin replied, shaking his head before turning his attention to Orion. "And as my daughter said, you're coming with us to the Celestial Court. They will decide whether you're guilty or not."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Orion felt a restraint, like shackles binding him and restricting his movements. He couldn't move from his position at all.
