Goss led Su Xiao through the courtyard and into the somewhat dilapidated two-story residence. It had been cleaned very thoroughly, but it had not been repaired in a long time.
Goss opened the door and entered the residence, arriving in the living room.
"Her Highness the Princess is indeed resting. Please wait a moment."
Goss walked upstairs. Su Xiao did not wait in the living room but followed him up the stairs.
"Iron Hand, you need to know when to stop..."
Boom!
Su Xiao suddenly side-kicked Goss in the abdomen. Goss had not expected Su Xiao to attack, so he was sent flying.
Bang, bang...
Goss smashed through two walls before steadying himself. He landed in a half-crouch, one hand clutching his abdomen, his face pale and ashen.
"You think I'm here to ask for an audience with Alyssa Herbert? If you dare keep yammering, I'll kill Alyssa Herbert along with you."
Su Xiao glanced at Goss before continuing upstairs.
Goss remained half-crouched on the ground, his expression shifting constantly. Bubu Wang and Emin had blocked his path. If he dared to approach again, he would die here today. Su Xiao's patience had its limits. Although he wanted to use this man as cannon fodder, he would not allow him to keep running his mouth.
Goss's expression was as dark as water. It was true that his mission was to protect Alyssa Herbert, but was that really all there was to it?
Long years of protection had caused Goss's loyalty to become distorted. At some point, he had begun viewing the timid princess as his personal possession. He naturally lacked the nerve to defile the princess, but he went to great lengths to keep outsiders away from Princess Alyssa.
Su Xiao's visit to Alyssa Herbert was not a private call,
