Chapter 861 The Late Night Visit (Part One)


    It never urred to Toby that Rndo leaving the pce with a woman and without any guards would


    be a lure for him to show himself and reveal his ns. He thought that as long as he followed Rndo


    out, he would definitely be captured by Miguel. It was already toote when he realized what Rndo


    was aiming for.

    "You dirty rat!" he shouted at Miguel with an angry face.


    "Shut up! You can never me others for your own ipetence!" Miguel hissed. He then turned to


    the guards and ordered, "Arrest him and lock him up!"


    The guards quickly advanced towards Toby to apprehend him but he was ready to defend himself.


    Unfortunately, even though he tried his best to hold them off, he was no match for the guards in terms


    of martial arts. Soon, they were able to chain him and then threw him into a tight cage in a carriage,


    which drove off and disappeared into the darkness.


    When Toby met Rndo again, he was in the jail. Rndo stood outside the cell in his magnificent


    white emperor clothes, which made him stand out in the dark hallway.


    "Rndo, you are a despicable man!" Toby cursed with resentment at the sight of him.


    Rndo, however, wore a smile on his angelic face. "You''re a prisoner now but you still dare talk so


    arrogantly. That''s really impressive," he said quietly as he stared down on his brother.


    His words irritated Toby more. He grabbed the rail of the cell and roared, "Now I understand everything!


    You won''t never risk your life for a woman! It turned out that you actually took advantage of her in order


    to lure me out! What do you think she''ll do if she finds out what you did? I bet she''d hate you until you


    die!" There was a hint of threat and madness in his voice.


    Despite Toby''s threats, Rndo''s smile never left his lips. "Well, I''m afraid that is why you are no match


    for me."


    "What do you mean by that?" Toby asked, confused.


    "I know what kind of person Harper is well enough. She is incredibly smart, so I doubt that she still


    doesn''t know my true intentions. Also, I really intended to take her out to see amazing spots around


    here. I just used that opportunity to deal with you," Rndo replied patiently. His voice was gentle and


    his tone yful. "And even though she knows that I have taken advantage of her, I doubt that she''ll get


    angry at me."


    "Oh,e on, Rndo. Aren''t you being too confident that she''s not furious at you right now?" Toby


    questioned.


    "She would only me me for risking my life," Rndo said, his eyes bing soft and tender. "She


    always treats people like that. Once she sees you as her friend, she will treat you as one forever, and


    she will make sure that you never feel alone."


    Toby narrowed his eyes and red at Rndo for a long time. Suddenly, he burst outughing and


    said, "Ha ha, Rndo! Are you serious? You sound like you''re in love with her! She''s Matthew''s wife.


    Remember?" He hated his brother but he knew him well—he was in love with Harper!


    The moment Toby''s words hit Rndo''s ears, Rndo''s pupils constricted, but his expression


    remained mostly unchanged. Seeing this, Toby could not help but wonder, ''Did I just make a false


    assumption? Maybe Rndo hasn''t really fallen in love with that woman. Yes, it was stupid to say that.


    How could Rndo have feelings for her? If Matthew discovered that another man had fallen in love


    with his wife, he would go crazy and destroy that man!''


    "That''s not what I want to discuss with you today. I''m here today to give you a choice," Rndo said


    slowly. "Do you want to live or die?"


    "Will you keep me alive?" Toby asked instead. He was surprised to hear Rndo offer a chance of


    sparing his life. He knew what Rndo was capable of. Back when Rndo left the Imperial Capital to


    be a monk, he and his brothers fought with each other just to get the throne. For five years they kept


    doing that, but as soon as Rndo came back, all their ns and tricks were fell through all of a


    sudden. It wasn''t because they were too weak or because theycked careful nning. It was because


    Rndo made sure that none of them would be able to carry out what they were thinking of doing. He


    was cruel, and he didn''t think of brotherhood or love. For him, there were only two groups: one, the


    people he could take advantage of; and two, the people who were useless to him. Toby was in the


    latter group, unsurprisingly.


    "Of course, I will. Why would not I let you alive?" Rndo said, smiling wider. "But you have to pay a


    price."


    "What kind of price?" Toby asked. He truly found this offer attractive. In his mind, it was better to have a


    bad life than a good death. Now that there was a chance for him to survive, he would definitely go for it.


    "Everything, my dear brother. I need you to obey all of my orders down to the very insignificant one,"


    Rndo said. His smile suggested that he had nned this a long, long time ago. "There happens to


    be one thing that I need to do, but I think you would fit the bill better than me. That is the offer I''m giving


    you. It''s now up to you if you want to take it or not."


    "What do you want me to do?" Toby asked warily. What if Rndo asked him to die? If that was the


    case, he would rather choose to be killed by Rndo at that moment.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t ask you to die," Rndo said as if he had read his mind. "You can rest assured


    that won''t happen. What you need to do is you must keep this in mind that from now on, you are a


    prince of the Great Jade Kingdom, and thus, you must do everything to serve the state. You will obey


    my orders and help me lead our country to peak prosperity."


    "What? You want to..." Toby''s voice trailed off as he was shocked by what he just heard. He looked at


    Rndo who was now smiling warmly. Somehow, he felt that Rndo had suddenly be huge,


    and was now looking down on him condescendingly. Toby struggled, trying to resist his overwhelming


    aura, but he was failing. Now he realized that while he was only worried about his life, Rndo had


    already thought about something grander for him.


    After minutes of silence, Toby finally had his answer. "Okay! It''s a deal!" he eximed. Even if Rndo


    let him go, he would just live like an ordinary person, probably perpetually running away and hiding. But


    now that Rndo had made him such an offer, he did not see any need to refuse it. Actually, it was the


    best case scenario he only thought possible in his dreams.


    Rndo seemed to have guessed what Toby was going to say. Immediately, he ordered his men to


    open the prison bars and then threw something to Toby. Toby caught it and when he inspected it, he


    was once again shocked.


    "Rndo, aren''t you afraid..."


    "You will soon know what you need to do after you get out of the prison. I don''t want you to mess it up!"


    Rndo said. In an incredibly tender voice, he added, "I hope you can live up to my expectations. I


    believe in you, Toby."
