Dai Hao Kneels, White Tiger Duke's Mansion Falls

"No... It shouldn't have been like this. It shouldn't have been like this."

Dai Hao coughed up blood, utterly lost and despondent.

Dai Yueheng was dead. Dai Luoli was dead. The Duchess was dead.

Even Dai Huabin had been skinned and dismembered alive by Huo Yuhao, dying a gruesome death.

Dai Hao's heart was shattered beyond repair. Was this retribution?

But he had never done anything heinous.

Why had it come to this?

Dai Hao felt a sharp pain in his chest and could not stop himself from vomiting another mouthful of blood. His heart was utterly dead.

White Tiger Duke's Mansion had fallen, and most of his family had died horribly. The desire to die began to take root in his heart.

"Yu Hao, kill me! Kill me! Kill me and let me atone to your mother!"

Dai Hao suddenly roared, his tiger eyes bloodshot.

He regretted it deeply. He regretted focusing only on the war in the past, never devoting more of his energy to his family.

Otherwise, he would not have ended up like this today.

Perhaps all of this was his own doing.

Dai Hao felt nothing but grief and no longer had any desire to live.

Huo Yuhao sneered. "You want to die?"

"But I refuse to kill you. I want you to personally kowtow and admit your mistakes to my mother!"

"Kneel!"

Huo Yuhao kicked the bend of Dai Hao's knee, forcing him to kneel before Huo Yun'er's grave.

Dai Hao staggered as he looked at Huo Yun'er's gravestone, grief welling up in his heart.

"Yun'er, it was all my fault. If I had taken proper care of you and our son back then, perhaps everything would have been different."

Regret surged through Dai Hao's heart. He truly regretted it.

A lifetime of obsession
