Nyx also reacted by now, his figure disappearing. He appeared a few meters away, his face pale. He couldn\'t believe his eyes as he looked back at Janus in disbelief.
"Were you testing my reaction speed, Uncle Janus?" he thought, trying to find a logical explanation.
He knew that he was late. If Janus hadn\'t stopped, he would\'ve been stabbed. So he thought that Janus never had an intention of truly hurting him.
Unfortunately, looking at Janus\' face, he realized that he was wrong. In fact, Janus wasn\'t even looking at him. He was looking behind Nyx.
Nyx also turned around, looking behind him. Since he couldn\'t feel any presence, he didn\'t know who was behind him. It was only after he turned that he understood.
"Father?"
The person behind him was none other than his father. However, as Nyx lowered his gaze, he noticed that his father was holding onto a person by his throat.
"Caen?" he muttered, growing even more confused. Caen was unconscious and his next was in his father\'s hands.
He didn\'t understand what was happening. Weren\'t all of them on good terms until recently? Then why? Why did his Uncle try to kill him? And why was his father treating Caen like that?
His expressions kept shifting between shock, disbelief, confusion and anger as he tried to comprehend the scene unfolding before him.
Nyx\'s mind raced, desperate to find an explanation for his father\'s actions. Taking a deep breath, he finally found the courage to speak up.
"Father, what\'s going on?" Nyx asked cautiously, his voice revealing his surprise.
His father turned his piercing gaze towards him, his grip.
"That\'s a good question," Ryder said before glancing at Janus. "Are you going to explain?"
"What did you do to him?" Janus asked, his hands trembling at the sight of Caen. The only reason he still hadn\'t completely lost his senses was that he could see his nephew was still breathing.
"Don\'t worry. He\'s alive... for now." Ryder spoke, yet his voice carried a hint of disappointment.
"Return him to me! If anything happens to him, I\'ll-"
"You\'ll what? You\'ll kill me?" Ryder added before Janus could even finish his sentence. "Like you tried to in the past?"
As he spoke, his grip around Caen\'s throat tightened. "I never expected that you of all people would try to do something like this. After all I did for you?"
"He has nothing to do with it! It was all my decision! He didn\'t know anything! If you want to kill anyone, kill me!" Janus roared, almost pleading Ryder, the dagger falling to the ground as he dropped to his knees.
"Father...?" Nyx called out, his mind getting only more chaotic. His father was actually going to kill the son of his brother? He didn\'t know what to feel about that.
"Don\'t ask me to let him go! I have always been thinking that Janus is like my brother! But I keep forgetting! For him, I\'m not even close to Chaos! Even after all we went through, he didn\'t think twice before turning around and trying to backstab me?!"
Ryder wasn\'t in a mood to listen either. He had always stayed out of the matters of heaven, only focusing on earth and his family.
He wasn\'t greedy for power, but what he wanted was the safety and prosperity of his family. And Janus was trying to take his family for him?!
The moment Janus came to the mansion, he had already sensed a trace of killing intent, no matter how well Janus tried to hide it. However, he refused to believe it.
He didn\'t want to believe that Janus could mean harm to his family. However, for his family, he still decided to observe. He created a clone of himself while staying hidden in the room, observing everything.
The moment Janus stabbed his clone, he couldn\'t believe his eyes. If he wasn\'t certain that this was the reality, he would\'ve thought that this was a dream.
The moment Janus asked Nyx to follow him, Ryder understood what his true intentions were and why he tried to kill him. In that moment, Ryder broke his promise and interfered in the matters of the Realm of Gods.
"Don\'t punish an innocent person for my mistakes! It was all my fault! I was jealous of you and your child! I wanted to kill you both and take your Divinity to become stronger! I lost my mind to my greed! Kill me, but let him go!" Janus\' voice grew louder as he pleaded.
He didn\'t even try to move, worried that Ryder was going to kill Caen. Instead, he gave an excuse to take all the blame on himself. He couldn\'t dare to tell Ryder about the prophecy, certain that Ryder was going to kill Caen if he came to know that of the four children, only one could live!
Ryder didn\'t know Janus\'s true intentions behind trying to kill Nyx. However, he could feel that Janus was lying right now! If he wanted to steal their Divinity, why didn\'t he try to steal his after \'killing\' him in the bedroom?
He could also feel that Janus\' face was filled with guilt, as if he didn\'t want to do it but he had no choice either. There was only one thing that could force him to do something like this. It was his love for Caen.
"You know, I can forgive anything. I could even forgive you trying to kill me, or take all my wealth and Divinity. However, when your weapon is aimed at my child, that\'s something I can never forgive." Ryder spoke, his expressions darkening.
In this moment, he wasn\'t the compassionate person who was willing to let Caen go despite the fact that Caen killed so many people on earth. Instead, this time he appeared quite demonic.
He wanted his hand. A spatial aura surrounded Nyx, sending him back home, not wanting him to see what happened next. However, before Nyx disappeared, he heard a cracking noise.
