After learning about how his mother and father had died at the hands of the Dragon Emperor, Pearl had thought that his hatred for the man could not go any higher.
It was only now that Pearl was realizing just how incredibly wrong he had been.
"My grandparents were killed by the Dragon Emperor too?" Pearl asked in a stunned voice.
The Deer, who had told him that, nodded.
Pearl looked toward the rest of the group and most could only look away in shame.
"What is the meaning of this?" the Lion stood up from his seat, walking to the middle of the gathering. "What do you mean that my uncle and aunt were killed by that human emperor?"
"That is the truth, Leader Zhu," the Lizard spoke. "That is unfortunately the truth."
"Why am I only just hearing about this?" the Lion demanded. "If my uncle and aunt were murdered then I should've been made aware. Why would you not tell me?"
