Chapter 6: I Only Need 72 Hours To Fall In Love With You (VI)

"If we allow Roy to take Gabriel's place and inherit your father's legacy, would you agree?"

Agree, I totally agree! Perhaps Ravel had also seen through Gabriel's narrow-minded self and untenable nature?

When Ravel saw him nod, he didn't say anything and merely rubbed his head.

It was only then that Shang Ke noticed a mole on the palm of Ravel's right hand. It was said that people with a mole on their palms were not only rich, but they were also talented leaders. There were also people who said it was because their previous incarnation's predestined love was unfulfilled, and so a mole was left behind to allow them to meet their lover in their current life. However, Buddhism generally believed that the mole in their hand's hollow was the bane of others' existence.

There was no way to investigate the last two, but the Ravel in front of him was unconditionally rich and a talented leader, a winner in life that had both qualities.

Shang Ke did not know that Ravel actually fulfilled all three.

"It's late, so let's return. I will eat with you." Ravel then pushed Shang Ke back to the sickroom and told the nurse to bring them some food.

Ravel ate whatever Shang Ke ate. Even if it was just a bowl of plain rice congee, he would eat it without a single change in his facial expression. This caused Shang Ke to rather admire him.

Although these days his food had somewhat improved, in actuality his body was weak to the extreme. He was simply unable to take in too much nutrition. Therefore, no matter how spirited he may have appeared, his body was getting thinner day by day.

Doctor Banny had said previously that every day he lived was miraculous. If it were other people, they would have long since lost their will to continue living on. He knew that the reason why Cage continued to persevere was that he wanted to witness the establishment of the new empire with his own eyes.

For the first time, Ravel wavered. He didn't want to announce the news, since he was afraid that once Cage's dream was fulfilled, then he would die without hesitation.

Ravel couldn't bear to part with him, and also couldn't let him go...

That night, Ravel returned to his mansion.

Kahn stepped forward to report, "This subordinate has placed Gabriel under house arrest in the guest room. How do you plan to deal with him, General?"

Ravel's face quickly chilled and he walked to the guest room.

"Let me out! I am General Utrecht's son, you can't do this to me!" Gabriel's noisy voice could be heard from the guest room.

The guard was indifferent to his shouts. When he saw Ravel and Kahn arriving, he immediately bowed and saluted, before opening the door.

When Gabriel saw Ravel walk in, his temper was pacified and he asked, "Sire, you're finally back. May I ask why you placed me under house arrest?"

Ravel did not reply, and he merely gestured for Kahn to play the recording from the hospital.

When Gabriel saw the recording, his expression changed and he gritted his teeth. "My actions were a little improper, but you would understand if you knew what Cage had done to me."

"I don't need to know what he had done to you previously," Ravel coldly and detachedly spoke, "I only know that you insulted and injured Cage while he is immobilized with serious injuries. Just who gave you the courage to treat a hero who has just experienced torture like that?"
