When Douglas woke up, he found himself tied to a tree trunk. Felton, on the other hand, was leaning against another one not far
from where he was, his head tilted to the side. Douglas didn't know if his brother was alive, but immediately felt his blood run cold
when he saw the man and woman sitting side by side by the fire.
"Your Highnesses, what are you doing? We are family, remember? Why did you tie me up?" Since Douglas knocked out by
Matthew the time he saw him, he had no idea what the couple did to the rest of the Qin Clan. As for him, he initially thought that
they kidnapped him mainly because they wanted to use him to threaten his clan and save Felton. Now that he realized that

"You're awake," Harper said as soon as she noticed Douglas had already come to his senses. "That's good. You're here because
I want to ask you a few questions. If your answers satisfy me, there will be rewards. If you fail to do so, you will be punished,"
