Roxy stifled a nervous laugh to break the tension between her and her father. "So, you did threaten him." Roxy couldn't help but believe her father had threatened Declan, so he didn't want to help her this time.
"I didn't. Do you think I'd hand you over to a man who's afraid of me? Even Ezzo was never afraid of me even though he always complied with my orders."
"Then why didn't he help me?" muttered Roxy in a soft voice.
"Isn't that because he's eager to marry you? Roxy," Mr. Zouch sat on the chair after exhaling a long sigh. "I no longer have the power to protect you anymore. My movement is limited here, and besides, the court is still monitoring all my actions."
"Why?"
"You know why. The Hades organization was never welcomed in here."
"But no one knows you are Hades. And last time I checked, Alanach was here and roamed the city freely."
"It's because he had the facility to be an invisible man while he was here, but I didn't."
