Chapter 584 No Room For Negotiation

It was major news that Valentino had regained consciousness.

Without looking back, Cedrick left the ancestral hall with Nico at once and walked toward the master bedroom where his grandfather was.

As Yael also wanted to see Valentino, he quickly helped Xander up from the ground. However, Xander had been shot in the thigh and was unable to move at all.

The two men continued chatting for a while until Yael and Xander appeared, disrupting the harmonious atmosphere in the room.

Noticing the bloodstains on his clothes and that he seemed to be injured, Valentino asked in concern, “Xander, what happened to you?”
