Qiu Zedong remained silent for a while when Lóng Wei shouted at him. He was running out of patience.
"I wanted greater control over you. I wanted people to fear you and despise you so that the prophecy's meaning disappears. You could never become the King even though Yuze's prophecy said otherwise," Qiu Zedong revealed the truth.
"Why did you do it to my son?" Qizhen grabbed Zedong by the collar and glared into his eyes. "How could you be this cruel?"
Qiu Zedong chuckled and said, "It is because of you. You decided to keep me away from the palace. I never wanted to stay as a General all my life. You questioned my ideologies. I was always more capable than you, yet you got the throne."
"If you had asked me once, then I would have handed it to you," Qizhen stated.
