Freya squinted her eyes and said, "The Long family was extremely rampant in Solterra. They even established a laboratory to research all kinds of viruses and poisoned many innocent people. If Leonard didn't eliminate them, should he just let them become more and more powerful and turn everyone in the world into victims of their experiments?"

Freya said this with indignation.

Her husband was whole - heartedly working for the people of Solterra, yet there were always some people who regarded him as an enemy and even wanted to do harm to him.

At this moment, Freya suddenly felt indignant on Bradley's behalf.

"Yes, he stopped the Long family's conspiracy. But after Solterra returned to the control of the Nan family, has he ever properly managed this country?" The other party retorted angrily, "He left all the people behind and handed over the management of Solterra to others. May I ask, Your Majesty the Queen of Solterra, is this what a king should do?

Fine, maybe he had his own difficulties. But when he ordered the elimination of the Long family's accomplices, did he hurt innocent civilians?"

Hearing this, Freya looked back at the man not far away.

The reason why they had delayed returning to Solterra to inherit the throne was that she was pregnant at that time. Bradley was worried that she wouldn't adapt to the weather in Solterra, so they postponed the trip back to the country and left all the matters to Gabriel.

But as for whether innocent civilians were hurt during the elimination of the Long family's accomplices, she really didn't know.

Seeing that she couldn't say a word, the other party sneered coldly. "I guess Your Majesty the Queen of Solterra doesn't know about this. Well, then, let me tell you the whole story."

Freya listened quietly until the other party began to speak.

"My wife and I used to live on a farm near the Long family's laboratory. Our family managed the farm. Although we weren't rich, we were happy. The money we earned was enough to support our daughter's medical expenses.

But it was you who destroyed the laboratory, which led to the leakage of the venom into the farm and polluted the farm's water source. My wife drank that water and died of poisoning. And because of this poison, my right leg rotted, and I finally had to have an amputation. I thought this was the worst that could happen, but who would have thought that just half a year ago, I was diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer."

The other party's voice was trembling faintly and becoming even hoarser. "I spent all my family's savings, but I was no longer able to support my daughter's medical expenses. In the end, I could only watch helplessly as a suitable heart was transplanted into someone else, while my daughter still had to lie in the hospital bed suffering.

If it weren't for Leonard's appearance, our family wouldn't have ended up like this. Although Leonard protected many people from harm, he was the one who caused my family to be destroyed!"

Hearing this, Freya finally understood where the other party's resentment came from. It turned out that during the previous elimination operation, this family had been accidentally hurt.

Bradley, who was hiding in the dark, also heard these words and was deeply shocked.

When he issued the order to destroy all the laboratories, he had repeatedly reminded them that they must not let the venom leak out. But unexpectedly, no matter how careful they were, the venom still leaked out and harmed some innocent people.

Gabriel was standing beside Bradley and said guiltily, "Sorry, I didn't handle this matter well. I'll go and plead guilty later."

"It has nothing to do with you!" Bradley waved his hand and said, "Lan's laboratory was in a special location. Plus, there were tens of thousands of catties of venom in the laboratory at that time. No matter how careful you were, it was impossible to prevent the venom from spreading.

This is just an accident. Don't take it to heart. As for this injured person, I'll find a way to make up for him."

After saying that, Bradley loosened the sniper rifle in his hand.

Just now, he had thought that if this man dared to hurt Freya, he would surely shoot him in the head.

But now, his heart softened.

Gabriel sighed deeply and said, "But this man's fate is really tragic. No wonder he has accumulated so much anger and wanted to take action against you. I just hope Freya can calm his anger and let him turn back from the wrong path and go to the hospital for treatment. Even if his life can't be saved, it would be good if he could live a few more years."

......

Freya was silent for a long time.

This truth was completely beyond her expectation. She didn't expect that the after - effect of the beast - like venom was so strong that it could corrode the human body and even produce carcinogenic elements.

She looked up in the direction of the sniper and said apologetically, "I apologize on behalf of my husband for the harm your family suffered due to the leakage of the beast - like venom."

After saying that, she bent her straight back and bowed deeply to the other party.

The other party didn't expect her to lower her stance and be so honest.

But how could a simple apology solve the problem of his current tragic situation?

"Can your 'sorry' bring my wife back to life, make my leg return to normal, make me stop suffering from cancer and live a life worse than death, and give my daughter a fresh and vital heart?"

Freya straightened her body and said firmly to the man, "I can't bring your wife back to life, but I can find a way to cure your leg. I can also invite a senior research team to develop anti - cancer drugs for you. As for your daughter's heart, my husband will also do his best to find one for her.

I believe Mr. Zhou is a smart person. Instead of taking risks and going against my husband, it's better to lay down your arms now and sit down calmly. Maybe you can buy yourself a glimmer of hope and make your daughter regain her health."

The meaning of these words was obvious. If he continued to be stubborn, there was only a dead end. But if he surrendered now, there was still hope.

The other party stood there, his weak and sick body on the verge of collapse.

He knew he had no other choice. Now he could only choose to believe them once.

Even if he was going to die, he couldn't let his daughter die with him.

After a fierce weighing of the pros and cons, the other party finally compromised. "Okay, I'll trust you for now."

Hearing this, Freya finally relaxed a little.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the other party say, "Come forward to my doorstep, then enter the hall, and go directly up the stairs in the hall to the second - floor rooftop. I'll wait for you here."

"As long as you can prove your sincerity, I can lay down my weapons and surrender!"

These words clearly echoed in the night.

Freya knew that the other party was extremely vigilant, and it was impossible for her to gain all his trust with just a few words. So she decided to take a risk and go upstairs.

However, just as she took a step, she saw Bradley rushing out from the corner, grabbing her arm from behind, and shaking his head. "Freya, don't go. He'll hurt you."
