Unexpected Reunion

As Wu Long left Nie Xiwang's office and went through the halls of the Imperial Palace, at some point along the way he heard a commotion.

"Where is he? Where is that damn bastard!!!"

A deep sounding voice of a man shouted, demanding the location of someone.

"Your Highness! You cannot, Her Majesty-..."

"I don't care what that stuck-up bitch says! My son is being punished because of some bastard?!?! Unacceptable!!!"

The commotion came closer and Wu Long saw a tall man with a rather muscular build, wearing luxurious robes that made him look like a rich bandit more than a person of the royal palace. 

"This is the father of the prince who hired me. The man who was once closest to the throne until the Blade Empress snatched it away, Nie Guanting. He was the favorite candidate among the legitimate successors to the throne"

Old Yen whispered into Wu Long's ear and he raised his eyebrow.

"You! You damn bastard, come here!!!"
