Rick shook his head. “No.”
“Don't lie to me, Rick,” Nina said. “I can tell when you're lying.”
Rick could not pretend any longer. “All right, I'll be honest with you. Something did happen to Cesar. Don't bother
asking about the specifics. You will learn about them when the time comes. Save your breath.”
The color drained from her face at her worst fears coming true. “We'll go to him now,” she announced.
Packing up her things hastily, she followed with her children as Rick led them to Cesar.
The two children were so excited that they skipped ahead of the adults and laughed throughout the journey.
Rick noticed that Gavin had his hand in his left pocket. “What do you have in your left pocket there, Gavin?” he
asked curiously. “Can I see it?”
“It's a candy, Mr. Baker,” Gavin said mysteriously. “The candy my mother bought us was so sweet that I'd thought to

Rick nodded sadly.
Even Sole Wolf looked a little uncomfortable.
How unfair is the world for a vile person like Cesar to have such sensible children and an understanding wife?
He decided to persuade Zeke not to harm Cesar's innocent wife and children.
Knowing Zeke as well as he did, Lone Wolf was confident that the Great Marshal would not harm women and
children.
The group soon arrived at Vauxgan Pavilion, where Cesar was still on his knees with Zeke standing over him.
Zeke frowned at the sight of the new arrivals.
Initially, he was under the impression that Cesar's wife and children would look as fierce and evil as he did. Zeke
could never have imagined they were simple and kind folk after all. Suddenly, getting rid of them seemed like the
hardest decision he had ever made.
When the boys saw their father on his knees, they trotted to him. “Hello, Dad. We finally got to see you. We miss
you.”
“I brought you some candy, Dad. Here, try one!”
“Why are you on your knees, Dad? Let me help you up.”
Unexpectedly, Cesar shoved the children aside. “Who're you calling 'Dad'? Get lost, kids!”
The children fell to the ground on their buttocks and looked at their father in astonishment before bursting into
bitter tears.
What happened to him? Why is he so rough with us?
“Did we do something wrong, Dad?”
“Please don't be angry with us, Dad. Gavin and I are sorry. We will be good.”

Cesar slapped the candy out of the boy's outstretched hand. “Go away! What would I do with your leftover food?”
Nina's face and ears were burning with anger from witnessing her two beloved sons being bullied before her. Even
worse, the perpetrator was their father.
That's it!
Walking up to them, Nina took both children in her arms as she yelled at Cesar. “Are you mad? How could you treat
your sons like this?”
“Leave me alone,” Cesar said indifferently. “From now on, you are no longer my wife; they are no longer my
children. I want nothing to do with all of you, and I don't even care if you live or not.”
What!
The woman gritted her teeth, her face the color of ash. “Say that again if you dare!”
“I said, I don't care whether you live or not,” Cesar repeated. “I won't even shed a tear if you dropped dead in front
of me right now.”
