Moon Lovers: Bound by Blood and Revenge

Chapter 170 Road Accident



[ Triple W Headquarters… ]

Natasha had no choice left but to ask for some help from Vladimir. This was her mother's request.

The guard let her in as they were already familiar with the members of the Zhou Family. They thought she was there to meet Cedric. But this time, she was looking for Vladimir.

Vladimir, who was in his office, was surprised when Natasha came inside.

"Miss Natasha Zhou, what are you doing here?" Vladimir immediately stood up, welcoming her. "Cedric's office is on the next floor."

"I'm here to see you, Mr. Vladimir. My mother sent me here," Natasha said, informing him.

Vladimir's expression changed when Natasha mentioned her mother. Evelyn would never ask her daughter if it was not urgent. He could tell that Evelyn was in trouble right now.

"What happened to your mother? Where is she?" There was a hint of concern in Vladimir's eyes. Evelyn was like a daughter to him.

"Please help my mother. She is currently imprisoned in the Golden City's precinct. My cousin accused her of hiring our Family guards to eliminate Marceline. She is also insisting that my mother poisoned our grandfather."

"What did your father do about it? Can't he stop his own niece?" Vladimir asked her curiously.

He knew how much Ronan cared about Evelyn so he expected him to do something to protect her. Ronan would never allow his beloved wife to be put in prison.

Meanwhile, a chilly glint flashed in Natasha's eyes as she recalled how her father sided with Marceline while hurting her and her mother.

"I don't know what lies she fed on my father for him to hate me and my mother. My Dad didn't do anything to protect my mother. He even threw her out of the house, asking the police to arrest my mother. He was so mad at my Mom!" Natasha lamented to Vladimir. She felt like crying as their family was in a chaotic state right now because of Marceline.

"Marceline wanted to destroy my family, that's why she did this to us! She's playing as a victim here, but in fact, she is the real villain!" Natasha added, venting her hatred and frustrations towards Marceline.

Then she gazed up at Vladimir with her pleading look. "My Mom told me that you're the only one who could help us. Please… can you get her out of the prison?"

"The Chief of Police didn't allow her to bail. It's against the law. We tried to convince him but he said there is concrete evidence of my mother's crime. I guess Marceline had something to do with this. She framed her up!"

Little did she know, Kira already used the police department in order for Evelyn to stay inside the prison. They were put under his mind control ability and they were just following Kira's order.

"Don't worry, Miss Zhou. I will try my best to help you and my mother. For now, you should go home and rest." Vladimir could see how tired Natasha was today. She was also emotionally exhausted. Lots of things happened to their family.

After getting reassurance from Vladimir, Natasha could finally ease up a little. She was super stressed about everything. She couldn't understand what was going on in the Zhou Family. She just wanted to blame Marceline for all the troubles she and her family were experiencing.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Vladimir. I will count on you in this matter."

Vladimir just nodded, giving her a reassuring smile. Natasha didn't stay for long as her mother advised her not to let other people know about her connection with Vladimir.

Just when Natasha left the Triple W headquarters, Cedric heard about her sudden visit. He was also surprised as to why Natasha Zhou went to see his adviser, Vladimir.

To find out what happened, Cedric headed to Vladimir's office to ask him directly. Vladimir didn't expect that Cedric would come.

"Alpha Cedric," he mumbled while giving Cedric a questioning gaze.

Cedric had the same look in his eyes. "Why did Natasha Zhou come to see you?"

Vladimir informed Cedric about everything that happened in the Zhou household. But only one thing caught his interest.

"Evelyn tried to assassinate Marceline Celeste Zhou," Cedric mumbled, his eyes suddenly filled with rage. "Who gave her the right to touch my prey?"

Cedric didn't look happy at all. He was furious knowing that someone tried to kill Marceline. No one was allowed to touch nor harm her, except him. That's what he thought.

"Don't do anything. She brought this upon herself. Let her deal with this and fix it," Cedric said firmly, forbidding Vladimir from helping Evelyn.

Vladimir's expression darkened when he heard that but he tried to conceal his emotions from Cedric. He couldn't understand why Cedric refused to help Evelyn. She had been a good asset for them.

If not for Evelyn, the Northern Gate Portal would never be put under the control of the Werewolf Clan. She worked hard to accomplish and fulfill her mission. But now, Cedric was tossing her away, letting her suffer! That's not fair to Evelyn.

"Why? She is one of us." Vladimir questioned him.

Cedric furrowed his eyebrows and gazed at him with disbelief. "She's a human, not a werewolf. She is not one of us, Vlad."

"But she's been helping us with the Zhou Family. She needed our help," Vladimir insisted on helping her.

But Cedric wouldn't do that as he was angered by the fact Evelyn tried to kill Marceline.

"Remember our deal with that vampire. We are not allowed to intervene in matters relating to the Zhou Family. He reminded us to stay away from them and not do anything." Cedric just used this reason to stop Vladimir from further opposing his decision.

At this moment, Vladimir could only shut his mouth, clenching his fists. He couldn't refute that. But he would not sit still. He would find a solution to this problem. He had to do something to protect Evelyn.

Since they were done talking, Cedric left Vladimir's office. He asked his men to check on Marceline. He was worried after hearing that Marceline got attacked by Evelyn's henchmen.

Vladimir just watched Cedric's back until he vanished from his sight. This elder werewolf was very wise. Just a few seconds after Cedric left, he already thought of a solution to his problem.

"Cedric… you've underestimated me. I can still leave you with no choice. You will end up protecting Evelyn because you will be needing her." His lips curled up in a mischievous smile, his eyes gleaming like a light bulb.

Vladimir immediately called someone to do a special task for him.

​ [ One hour later… ]

Cedric was inside his office when Ronan arrived. He swung the door open without waiting for Cedric's permission. He dashed inside, throwing his fist at Cedric's face. He punched him!

Cedric's skin got a burn as Ronan was holding his Ametiz Stone when he attacked Cedric.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Cedric yelled at him, feeling enraged. He was rubbing his face. He didn't expect that Ronan Zhou would suddenly punch him.

"You cunning werewolves! You killed my brother purposely and now, you want to kill my father!"

"Don't you want these? Don't lie to yourself, Ronan Zhou! This is what you wanted. All you care about is power and wealth." Cedric sneered at him with a mocking look in his eyes.

"I never asked you to kill any of my family members! My brother's death is not an accident! You killed him and my sister-in-law mercilessly!"

Ronan Zhou was not afraid to offend Cedric now. He was mad at him for deceiving him and using him. He knew that Cedric couldn't kill him because of the Ametiz Protection Stone.

"From this moment, the gatekeepers from the Zhou Family will no longer listen to your command! This is the end of our collaboration. I will make sure that you will pay for what your clan did to my family!" Ronan threatened him.

"Are you sure about this?" Cedric asked him calmly. He remained unfazed by Ronan's threat. "Don't regret this afterward, Ronan Zhou."

Ronan let out a peal of humourless laughter. "I already have my regrets… one of them was the day I made a deal with you and your clan! I lost my brother whom I thought was my enemy. And now, my father is dying! Only a miracle can help him recover!"

"Cedric Morgan… you and the Werewolf Clan will pay for this… sooner or later!"

Cedric just gave him a sarcastic smile, not being affected by Ronan's words. Not a human like Ronan could defeat a werewolf Alpha like him so he was not intimidated nor scared by Ronan's warning and threats.

On the other hand, Ronan didn't want to stay there longer. He was just reminded of the wrong choice he made in the past. After confronting Cedric, he immediately left the Triple W headquarters.

While he was driving in the busy streets of the Golden City, something happened. A big truck skidded and went out of control, crashing into Ronan's car.

A loud crashing sound was heard in the middle of the road. Ronan's car received a great impact during the collision! It rolled over several times before it stopped a few meters away from the big truck.

It took a lot of time before the responders arrived. Ronan was barely breathing. He received a severe injury and he was in critical condition.

As the responders were rescuing Ronan from the damaged car, Vladimir was there from a distance, watching everything.
