"Zack, how dare you talk to me in that manner? Have you ever thought about the consequences?" Quincy yelled.
Zack laughed with disdain. "Consequences? Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing such a shameful thing as a royal family member? Quincy, I'm trying to leave you with some dignity. Don't be so ungrateful."
He glanced at Ambrose with disdain.
Zack knew that Ambrose was healing Quincy. He would not dare to do anything to Zack at that critical moment.
Zack did not realize that Ambrose had just finished eliminating the poison from Quincy's body when he rushed in. By sitting there, he was merely putting on a show.
Quincy's body trembled when she heard Zack's answer, but she had no idea how to respond.
After all, the scene where Ambrose helped her did seem indecent, but nothing was going on between them. She could not allow anyone to humiliate her in that manner.
Quincy remarked coldly to Zack, "I am giving you another chance, Zack. If you do not kneel and apologize right away, you will pay for the consequences."
"Don't scare me!" Zack showed no fear on his face. "Quincy, this is not the royal palace. Furthermore, hundreds of thousands of South Cloud World soldiers saw it when you were defeated on Dragon King Island. Everyone assumed you were dead; only I knew you were still alive.
"But I'm not a mindless killer. As long as you hand over the imperial seal and issue a decree indicating that I will take over the throne if you die, I'll keep you alive. You and the Elysium Gate leader can do whatever you want, okay?"
Zack was ecstatic. He was confident that he would defeat Quincy.
He was also cunning and vicious. He had never considered releasing Quincy. He would make a move as soon as he had his hands on the imperial seal. Only the dead could preserve a secret for eternity.
"Shameless!" Quincy was speechless.
How audacious! He even wanted to be the South Cloud World's Emperor.
Ambrose could not help but chuckle. He whispered behind Quincy. "It seems like you are unlucky today. You met a pervert, and now your man is rebelling against you."
