Yi Zhen suddenly panicked when he saw him leaving. He honestly thought Zi Han might walk away despite seeing the hot tears streaming down from his scarlet eyes. He got up in a haste and blocked Zi Han's path.
"You...," he said his voice having lost all the arrogance from before.
"You have already threatened me so do I have a choice," said Zi Han before walking past the former Marshal. The older man didn't know what to say. He just stood there with a dumb look on his face while questioning himself. Had he gone too far? For his own selfish interests, he had come to find the one person he told to stay away from his son and even threatened him. Thinking about everything he had done to separate the two he suddenly felt like shit.
He knew how dangerous this was. The Republic wasn't a good place, to begin with, secondly doing a space jump without any guidance from his seniors like the late prince could have unknown consequences.
