Chapter 336 Ours
King?
Everyone, including Jiang Yue’s face, was blanked like their brains just stopped working as it couldn’t process the current information. Her eyes and mouth were frozen wide, obviously, too shocked to utter a word.
"Who are you?" Fu Jin asked. He was the first one who recovered as he immediately moved in front of Jiang Yue. Hiding her from the man who called himself the King.
"Some call me Gideon." the man answered. "I am not here to cause any chaos," he said before looking at the Zhang and Tang Family.
"First, let your guards bring them to a secure place. I will sort out everything with them," he added.
However, Fu Jin did not move an inch instead, he narrowed his eyes at Gideon.

After Fu Jin’s guard left with the dejected Zhang and Tang Families, Gideon instantly gave him a small smile full of approval. If this man will be Jiang Yue’s husband in the future then he would be very happy, Gideon silently thought.
"Now, Speak!" Fu Jin demanded as he stood in between Jiang Yue and Gideon. He would not risk Jiang Yue’s safety with someone who would just declare themselves a king.
"As I said... I am Gideon. Some call me King, and a few call me Hong Yi... Li Hong Yi." Gideon answered before taking a seat on the bed. "I am not here to hurt anyone. I am only here to talk to you and Jiang Yue," he said, his gaze warm and serious.
Seeing Fu Jin not making an effort to move, Gideon once again smiled. "If I had the intent to kill her then why would I be here when I can just ask my army to do it for me?"
"Why are you here?" this time, it was Jiang Yue who asked as she took a step and move beside Fu Jin.
"You seemed not surprise?" Gideon countered, his eyebrow raised at Jiang Yue.
"I am," she answered before asking once again. "Now, why are you here?"
"Do you want an honest answer?"
"If you are here to once again convince me to go to your country then your effort would be useless," she answered, her eyes glued into his. "I am not going."
"I am dying." the king suddenly blurted.
"And what does it have to do with me?" she asked. "You have a bunch of heirs. Why not let them fight for your throne? Why disturbed my peace?" Jiang Yue’s words were harsh and direct. It was blunt enough to make the king know that she does not believe him.
Gideon pressed himself together as he listened to Jiang Yue’s condescending tone. "Whatever you heard... It was not the truth."
"And you think that I would believe someone who does not even use their real face in ruling their country?" she snapped. "Truth is different from everyone’s perspective. But seeing that you even made an effort to come here and persuade me then... I would give you a chance to tell me your side of the truth."
"I understand." Gideon let out a sigh. "You will see my face soon enough. But... not now."
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes at him. "You have thirty minutes."
"You should decide that after you hear my story. However, if I may ask... what do you know about M country?" Gideon’s gaze immediately told Jiang Yue that his question was directed to Fu Jin.
"Same as everyone else." Fu Jin said. "The fight for the throne and all."

"However, I also know that you seem not too interested to use your family connection in the black market. Not until recently. So, it would only be reasonable if the information that you have is not accurate."
Jiang Yue and Fu Jin deadpanned. Both of them waiting for him to start telling his story.
"Let me start by telling you how the Li and Kim family started their feud." he began. "It was more than a hundred years ago when two men both from influential families, started a friendship that would change the history of M Country."
"These tales were not in any books so don’t bother thinking about what you heard about our M country."
"Your Country." Jiang Yue articulated, once again emphasizing Jiang Yue’s stance and choice to stay away from the Li Family in M Country.
Gideon only scoffed at her words. "It was our country Jiang Yue...not just mine... It was ours all along."
