Chapter 183: Talking Too Much Chapter 183: Talking Too Much “What exactly is going on?

What do I not know about her?” His voice was low but firm, pressing for answers.

“I found out that she was adopted into your family at six, no thanks to you.

And she’s been with you guys for ten years now.

She just turned sixteen.

So what else is there?

What are you hiding?” Carl took a step closer, his presence imposing.

“I’ve always known you were keeping something from me.

From the very first day, I noticed how you treat her differently from your other siblings.

I know you love your family, that you put them first, but this, this is different.

And the suspicions around her including her appearance made it worse.

Looks like I was right all along.” He folded his arms, eyes narrowing.

“So tell me, Somto.

What are you hiding?” Somto’s jaw tightened.

“None of your business,” he snapped, turning on his heels to leave.

As he swung the door open, he nearly collided with Arthur, who was standing right outside, his hands poised mid air as if he was about to knock.

Somto “!!!” Arthur’s expression was unreadable, but the slight furrow in his brow showed he had heard enough to be concerned.

“I was looking for you two,” he said, his gaze shifting between them.

“Then I heard voices and followed the sound.” Somto’s irritation flared.

The last thing he needed was another person sticking their nose into this.

Great.

Now someone else knew.

And not just anyone, Arthur, of all people.

The one person who had already been suspicious, the one who had been quietly investigating.

Somto had spent so much time trying to divert his attention, making sure he was looking in the wrong direction.

But now, Arthur had overheard everything.

And that was the worst part!

Carl had heard too much as well, and he wasn’t the type to let things go either.

Arthur’s sharp eyes flicked between Somto and Carl, reading the tension in the room.

Somto clenched his fists, his mind racing for a way to shut this down before it spiraled further.

Without another word, he turned and walked away.

There was no point in arguing.

The moment this conversation started, the game was already lost.

As the door shut behind him, Arthur and Carl exchanged glances.

Arthur was the first to break the silence.

“What just happened?

Why did he say those things?” Carl let out a slow breath, his expression darkening.

“I came to ask if they really don’t want Nnenna in their family.

And instead of a straight answer, I got riddles, cryptic nonsense, and more questions than before.” His lips curled in frustration.

“He’s hiding something, Arthur.

And whatever it is, it’s big.” Arthur’s eyes darkened with thought.

Carl let out a dry chuckle.

“But then again, as he said, it’s not our business, is it?” His voice dripped with sarcasm before he turned on his heel and left, leaving Arthur alone in the room, lost in deep contemplation.

The more Arthur observed the events unfolding around him, the more certain he became, he was on the right track.

Somto was definitely hiding something about his so called sister.

And if there was something to hide, it meant there was more to uncover.

Exactly as he had suspected.

The next few days would reveal more, and he could hardly wait to gather the pieces before deciding his next move.

His sharp gaze flickered with determination as he strode back toward the arena, his steps quick and purposeful.

He couldn’t afford to miss anything, not a single clue from either Nnenna or Somto.

By the time he arrived, the match had already begun.

The competitors had taken their positions, the tension in the air thick with anticipation.

Five major kingdoms were competing now, following the battles of the minor kingdoms, who had fought for the chance to prove themselves worthy of standing among the elites.

The crowd buzzed with anticipation as the competitors took their positions.

Haran had made a bold move, openly choosing to go against Gigangum, the kingdom notorious for its sheer strength and unyielding warriors Many had expected them to avoid such a formidable opponent like the others, but Haran had no intention of backing down.

The arena was filled with restless murmurs as warriors from all the major kingdoms gathered to witness the match.

“This isn’t just any fight.

It’s Haran against Gigangum.

A battle of two war giants!” One of the excited guards from a minor kingdoms exclaimed.

“Haran masters weapons, but they also train their bodies well.

Gigangum, though… they turn their bodies into weapons from childhood.

This is going to be epic.” A female guard added.

The tension was heavy, electrifying the air as the two competitors stepped onto the stage.

On one side stood Prince Alexei of Haran, his posture composed, his breathing steady.

His dark uniform bore Haran’s royal insignia, and despite the sheer energy buzzing around him, he remained unreadable, calm, yet dangerous.

On the other side, Prince Asher of Gigangum rolled his neck, cracking his knuckles with a lazy smirk.

He stood tall, exuding an air of absolute confidence, as if this was just another sparring session to him.

His piercing eyes locked onto Alexei.

“You sure you’re up for this, Alexei?” Asher asked, stretching his arms as though he wasn’t facing a warrior of equal caliber.

“I don’t want to hurt you too badly.” Alexei met his gaze, unfazed.

“Then don’t waste time talking.” The crowd exploded.

“Asher’s arrogance is unmatched!” “But Alexei isn’t reacting to it at all.

He’s focused.” The referee stepped between them.

“Kneel.

Bow.” Both warriors did as required, their movements precise.

“Fight!” The match began.

Asher exploded forward, his foot barely touching the ground as he launched a lightning fast front kick at Alexei’s ribs.

Alexei dodged, twisting his body at the last second, and countered with a swift roundhouse kick to Asher’s side.

Thwack!

Asher blocked with his forearm, smirking.
