Chapter 1861
However, as soon as Alba opened his eyes, he clearly saw from where he lay that Saul was raising a syringe and thrusting it down at Megan. As his senses returned to him and he slowly realized what his eldest brother was doing, his eyes widened as he bellowed, "Stop!!!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Scrambling to his feet, he lunged wildly at Saul, but the syringe in Saul's hand was already empty.
As Alba seized Saul by the collar, he turned in disbelief toward Megan-the brocade mites were still covering her body, but she was no longer struggling or crying in pain.
Instead, there was a smile of relief.
"Saul!!!"
Alba punched out like a raging bull at his brother's face, but it was pointless as Saul nonchalantly raised his hand and caught it.
"Know your place, Alba," Saul said with a snort. "I did it because I don't want my niece to suffer anymore."
"No! You just want to be the governor!" Alba screamed. "You did it because you're scared Frank Lawrence would usurp you, and you killed your niece -my daughter-for that!"
He punched at Saul with his other fist, but Saul caught it again.
There was a country mile of difference between them, and even as Alba's knuckles cracked, Saul abruptly pushed with brute strength. "Argh!"
Alba screamed as Saul dislocated his arms effortlessly, his bones crunching audibly.
Even as Alba dropped to his knees in front of Saul, his arms dangling limply at his sides, he glared at Saul with barenaked hatred.
"Know your place, Alba."
Saul's cheek stiffened as he growled coldly, "Your daughter's death is no one's fault. First of all, she was stupid enough to go after Frank Lawrence!
"Secondly, you're equally stupid,
chasing away the people who can
save her, saying things like you'd
et
rather let her die than ask them for help! I'm doing this to at least.
e
salvage some of you and your late
daughter's dignity!"
"Bullshit!" Alba bellowed, wheezing. "I'll take you down even if it's the last thing I do!"
Seeing that Alba was not playing
along, the final signs of guilt in Saul's
eyes vanished as his presence
became murderous. "Then we have
swne
to do this the hard way, huh?
"Hard way?! Hahaha!!!"
Alba reared his head and laughed. "My only daughter has been killed by you, her uncle! Why do I bother living? Go on, kill me if you can for our father's office and your future!"

"Me too!"
Isla charged at Saul as well, snarling through gritted teeth, "Kill me too if you can! Let's see what you'll tell Father when he returns!"
Saul's eyes narrowed at Isla's words.
After all, Governor Quill never cared much for his sons.
