“Are you so sure I’m a bionic?” Kai asked him coldly with a smile.
With that question and that strange smile, Darius’s heart raced in fear.

“Then what else could it be?” he gritted out, questioning Kai back. “If you have the guts, change into your beast form and
show me.”
With the current technology in the empire, even if a bionic could transform into a beast form, the process would differ greatly from a real Beastman’s transformation, and the difference would be obvious.
“Change into beast form to show you?” Kai repeated, scoffing coldly.
Seeing his reaction, Darius felt confident. “What? Are you too scared to transform? Can’t do it?”
Just as Darius showed his victorious expression, Nyx suddenly waved at Kai. Upon receiving her call, Kai eagerly transformed into his leopard form and ran to her, obediently sitting in front of her.
He would only transform into beast form to show Nyx. Nyx reached out, and the leopard closed its eyes and gently placed its furry head into her palm.
Seeing this heartwarming moment, the staff members around them couldn’t help but smile faintly.
Darius’s smile, however, shattered. Eliana was so embarrassed, her face flushed red as she quickly shut down the live stream. She thought, ‘What is going on? Why didn’t Kai lose control?‘
The doctor’s representative, not one to miss out on the drama, took over Eliana’s duties and continued the livestream on the hospital’s account.
The viewers immediately caught wind of it and flocked to the stream.
[LMAO!]
[Why did the livestream shut down? Almost missed the whole drama!]
[What a thrilling reversal!]
[What about the bionic?]
[I’m dying laughing. Why isn’t the Earl talking anymore?]
[How could he do this to his own son?]
[He was so sure Kai was crazy, haha.]
Confirming that Kai was not a bionic, the livestream filled with cheers and excitement.
Darius instantly became the joke, his family’s reputation tarnished.
Under countless mocking gazes, Darius tried to maintain his composure and shifted the focus back to Kai. “Since you didn’t lose control, why didn’t you warn me before attacking me? I’m your father, even if our relationship is strained, you shouldn’t have treated me like this.”
“Wait,” the doctor’s representative interrupted again, “You need to provide evidence when speaking, otherwise, isn’t that
slander?”
As he spoke, the doctor’s representative revealed the blocked surveillance video and asked Darius, “Please answer, why did

you block the surveillance?”

Darius was rendered speechless. Although he did block the surveillance, his actions were very discreet, and they didn’t seem intentional. Facing the questioning, Darius tried to remain calm, firmly denying it, and insisted that it was just a coincidence.
Seeing that they each had their own version of the story, the viewers in the live stream all seemed to turn into judges, carefully studying the surveillance footage.
[It doesn’t seem like it was intentional.]
[But how could something so coincidental happen? It must have been intentional.]
[It really was blocked well, nothing was captured.]
[This footage can’t be used as evidence now.]
[Yeah, it’s pretty useless.]
Just as the viewers thought the footage, which didn’t capture any key points, had no value, a sudden sound of Darius cursing while being hit came through the audio.
[I am speechless.]
[Uh, that’s some foul language.]
[Did he just curse Lord Kai to death?]
[Could these really be words a biological father would say?]
[Ugh.]
Most of the viewers felt extremely uncomfortable upon hearing the audio and couldn’t bring themselves to sympathize with Darius. Some, however, thought Darius wasn’t guilty enough to deserve such harsh treatment.
[No matter what, it’s just a few curse words. How could Lord Kai hit him?]
[And hitting his own biological father, that’s quite ruthless.]
[If he hit him in a state of losing control, it’s understandable, but deliberately hitting him is too cruel, right?]
Darius gritted his teeth and retorted stubbornly, “If I’m hit for no reason, of course, I’ll curse. I’m Kai’s father, how could I truly curse him to death? I was just angry and said something thoughtless.”
Kai suddenly interrupted Darius, “No reason? Did you forget that you left something in the hospital room?”
‘What thing?‘ Darius’s brain was a little slow after being hit, and he couldn’t think straight. After thinking for a while, his expression suddenly turned fearful and uneasy. It was the whip.
He had accidentally dropped the whip in the hospital room and didn’t have time to pick it up before being dragged away for a medical check–up.
The moment Kai took out the whip, Darius immediately rushed to snatch it, wanting to destroy the evidence. Kai, however, didn’t give him the chance to touch the whip, showing it to everyone before putting it away.
“Don’t worry, I won’t wrong you,” Kai said flatly. “I’ll give it to the Security Bureau and have the professionals examine the biological traces on it to see if it’s yours.”
The Security Bureau’s biological identification could confirm whether Darius had held the whip and even pinpoint the last

time he had held it. Along with the audio from the surveillance as evidence, it would be clear who made the first move, and the truth would be self–evident.
There would be no need for further investigation; Darius’s reaction had already given everything away. His obviously guilty expression made the truth undeniable.
The viewers in the live stream were completely shocked.
[Is this really his biological father?]
[He wanted to be alone with Lord Kai just to hit him?]
[Where did he even get this thing? It hurts but doesn’t leave marks, seems like he planned this for a long time.]
[The whip looks pretty old, must have been around for years.]
[Could Lord Kai have been beaten since he was young?]
[Oh right, he first said he wanted to use restraints to tie up Lord Kai, seems like he had ill intentions all along.]
Since Darius had bad intentions, Kai’s retaliation seemed justified.
The viewers even thought Kai had been too lenient. If it were them, they probably wouldn’t have been as restrained. The public opinion was overwhelmingly one–sided.
Seeing how stupid her husband was, Eliana silently cursed him as useless. Not only did he get beaten, but he also left such obvious evidence.
If this were handed over to the Security Bureau for investigation, even though the attack was unsuccessful, his malicious intent to harm an Imperial hero would be enough to put him behind bars.
Eliana rolled her eyes, thinking for a moment, and then suddenly shouted in anger, “How could you do such a thing? You came to visit Kai, and yet you had the intention to hurt him?”
She immediately filed a request on her Intelligent Brain to dissolve her partnership with Darius. “I don’t want a partner like you.”
The family immediately turned their attention to her, hurriedly turning to leave, planning to leave Darius to face the storm. on his own.
Darius was stunned. His face shifted through several expressions, veins bulging on his forehead. He thought, ‘She wants to leave me? Why? We are all in the same boat, so why is it only me who has to suffer?‘
