Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”He hid for several years, founded Rashomon, and became the Sect Leader of Rashomon.”

”During those years, Alex kept trying to contact me, hoping to apologize and gain my forgiveness. I never agreed to meet him, nor did I see him in private. But he actually despicably violated my maid, Belial!”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang slightly raised an eyebrow and let out a soft ”oh”.

Everyone instinctively looked at the maid standing behind Andariel, who was on the verge of tears but struggling to maintain composure.

With the situation unfolding to this extent, Belial no longer hid the truth.

The maid Belial walked to Huo Canghai’s right side and kneeled down, her forehead heavily knocking against the ground, pleading for Andariel, ”Sir, please don’t blame the Princess. The Princess has never betrayed you. The only reason she allowed Alex on the island was for me.”

Huo Canghai seemed asleep, leaning against the wheelchair with his eyes closed.

He neither interrupted Belial’s words nor responded to her plea.

This reaction was tacit permission for Belial to reveal the truth.

Belial pressed her forehead against the ground and spoke in a tone filled with grief and anger: ”Back then, my mother was critically ill. I asked the Princess for leave to return to my hometown in Y Country to accompany my mother through her last days. While caring for my mother in the hospital, I was kidnapped and imprisoned by masked men, and even violated.”

”When I escaped and bought emergency contraception, I still couldn’t succeed in removing the child from my womb. My mother was a devout believer and saw the child’s existence as a blessing, persuading me to give birth to her. I...”

”In the end, I had no choice but to give birth to that child. But I never imagined, when the child was five, that rogue Alex suddenly wrote to contact me, informing me that he was the child’s father and that he wanted to take the child away.”

”Not only that, but Alex, that demon, even used the footage of me being imprisoned and violated back then to threaten the Princess into agreeing to let him meet the child. If the Princess refused, he would broadcast my video to the world!”

”The Princess had no choice but to secretly let Alex on the island, and later...”

Later, Alex successfully arrived on the island, pretended to apologize to Belial, and infiltrated the Divine Concealment Island. He found Andariel’s child. At that time, there were three children of similar size on Divine Concealment Island, Huo Lanyue and Huo Wenguang were born on the same day, and Belial’s child was two months younger than them.

All three children were swimming in the open-air pool wearing swim trunks. Alex couldn’t distinguish their identities, so he simply poisoned all three, then captured Andariel, tying a timed bomb to her, forcing Huo Canghai to choose between Andariel and the children.

In the end, Huo Canghai chose Andariel, while Alex, together with his subordinates, abducted the three children.

”Sir, since marrying you, the Princess has never contacted Alex again. The Princess has never betrayed you; please don’t blame the Princess.” Belial felt deeply guilty. Over the years, she had lived in self-torment and guilt.

Now that the truth was revealed, Belial refused to allow Andariel to be misunderstood by Huo Canghai.

”I know everything Belial said,” Huo Canghai said as he held Andariel’s chin, wiping away her tears once again, ”Lili, I know it all.”

”Because I know you never betrayed me, I’ve been pretending to be unaware all these years.

For Andariel, who already suffered the loss of her child, Huo Canghai feared that revealing the truth would completely drive her insane.
