Vegas' POV

"I'm still confused...what are we going to do, Vegas?!Are you going to tell them?!"

"If I do, they will probably seek for revenge on me. If I don't, I will carry this burden for life."

"You are not alone. We are in this together...I will be hated too."

It's not common to see Tankhun looking at me with eyes of complicity.

"Wang knows it already. Out of some respect or gratitude to my father, he just need validation to do what he already plans to do."

"What does he plan to do?"

"Destroy us all."

"Bastard! How about Pete?! I don't think he will blame anyone."

"He won't. But telling him will light my burden?!"

"No...but we can't change the past."

"Your father was The Black King. My father was The Red Queen. Those are the correct positions. I don't know why, but they exchanged keys one night before my father came to Taipei to talk to Lian Wang. Then your father killed my father.

"Don't say such a thing...anyway....those deals were done by The Red Queen."

"The Red Queen was ordered to kill Lian's parents in the name of the White Council...Wang's own clan. But I don't think this deal came directly from them to my father. You know orders always came from your father to my father to follow."

"Ok...I got it...so Lian Wang is coming for both our heads. If you are the real Red Queen, you will have to protect me, Vegas."

"We can't change our parent's actions. But we are not them." Your father is still alive. Wang will kill him first, don't worry...you will have time to run."

"Damn...I have to warn him."

Killing Uncle Korn is certainly the only wish I can happily share with Lian Wang.

"In my case ...besides dealing with Wang, I made a promise that I'm willing to keep. No secrets to Pete."

"Those you are willing to tell, you mean."

Tankhun's eyes makes me wonder if he knows about Porsche and me. But I will not be imprudent about it. There's too much to risk.

"...Anyway...the last thing my father did before being killed was to order Pete's death."

"I don't think my father gave that order to yours. The day you all attacked us, Pete was already back to Main Family. Why would my Father order to kill a valueable bodyguard that put his life in danger to follow my stupid brother Kinn orders. It was uncle Kan that traded assassination order with Sanya to eliminate our best bodyguard. Remember, Pete messed with your plans, after all.

"Could be..."

 "Uncle Kan didn't know about you two...I guess..."

"No...he died not knowing about my feelings for Pete...not even that Pete was in the house for a month."
