Chapter 5080
His voice was not loud but left no room for doubt.
Forsythe could barely breathe as he sensed the ferocious aura radiating off Antigonus. He
collapsed onto his knees, not daring to move as his chest froze in terror.
Yet even then, he remained loyal to Morticia.
Morticia had said that Antigonus could not find out about this, so he had made up his mind
to not say a word even to Antigonus.
Seeing as he was refusing to speak, Antigonus flared up in anger as his gaze frosted over,
and he shouted coldly, "Do you want to get killed?"
As the words rang through the air, Morticia scrambled to speak up. "Please calm down,
Honorable Archfiend. I told him not to say anything." She knew that Antigonus was not
afraid to do as he said, and she could not watch her best right-hand man be killed off just
like that.
At the thought, Morticia turned to Forsythe. "There's no use in hiding the truth, not when
the Honorable Archfiend has asked for it. Tell him." "Yes, Your Highness!"
Forsythe scrambled to respond before shakily describing everything that had happened

At the same time, he was slightly relieved as well.
Thank heavens the Empress had allowed him to speak, or he would not have lived.
Toward the end, Forsythe gazed at Morticia with a gaze of utmost regret." It's all my fault,
Your Highness. I was just about to take the Young Master from that man's arms when a
storm broke out. I was still on the boat and was knocked into the ocean all at once." "I
rushed back when the storm was over, but they were nowhere to be seen by then." "It's all
my fault I couldn't do as I had been told. Please punish me, Your
Highness."
As the final word rang through the air, Forsythe knelt in both remorse and grief.
Morticia had been prepared for the worst, yet her brain still blanked out at Forsythe's
words as she trembled and collapsed onto the ground.
My child, my child...
Why did fate deem you so unfortunate? You had only been born for twelve days, only to be
separated from your own mother.
"How dare you!"
Just then, Antigonus slammed a fist against the table as he stood up in one swift move, his
expression murderous. "How could you have let two lowly rascals break into the Dragon
King Island not once but twice, and even they even took the baby away?" "You've been
with me for a long time, Morticia, and you've never let me down with your competence.
How could you make such a big mistake today, letting those two bastards lead you on and
leave you in the dust? Not only did you hand out a hostage in exchange for your child, but
you also hid it from me too."
As he spoke, Antigonus turned to gaze coldly at Forsythe. "And you! How could you screw
up something so simple? What else are you good for?"
Antigonus was growing in anger by the second. 1
Back when Antigonus had thrown the two men into the ocean, he had guessed as much
that they would not have been killed so easily. Yet he would have never thought that the
two bastards had not only gotten out alive and broken into the island a second time and
taken the baby away.
This was not only humiliating to the Dragon King Island but also to him as the Archfiend
Antigonus.

Sensing Antigonus' fury, Morticia kneeled as she said in a tone of utmost regret, "I've let
you down, Honorable Archfiend. Please forgive me."
At the same time, Forsythe kneeled as well, words spilling from his mouth." It's all my
fault. I didn't do a good enough job and caused harm upon the
Young Master. Please forgive me, Honorable Archfiend, or punish me as you please."
The Empress had lost her baby, and he had already felt enough guilt for that. He did not
want her to face Antigonus' punishment on top of that.
At the sight of the both of them, Antigonus took a deep breath before scoffing to say,
"What's the use in saying all of this? The baby's gone, and the Dragon King Island has
been humiliated." 3
At the words, Morticia trembled as she bowed profusely, knocking her head against the
ground over and over again. "Honorable Archfiend, I beg of you to find a way to get my
baby back. Please, I'm begging you."
Antigonus' expression was ashen, his tone cold as ice as the words fell from his mouth.
"Send out orders. The Dragon King Palace declares war on the Elysium Gate starting from
today and will stop at nothing to take Ambrose Darby's life and get the child back?"
As he spoke, Antigonus' expression was murderous, unable to hide his ferocity.
"Yes, Honorable Archfiend."
At the words, Morticia and Forsythe's chests thudded as they called out in response.
