God Of War Dad

Lately, the capital had been quite restless!

A storm was brewing!

Sean had previously eradicated the Mason family and broke into the Porter family’s residence. Fergus Archer followed suit and slaughtered everyone in the Porter family villa, practically annihilating them. Overnight, two of the capital’s most prominent families were attacked!

Public opinion was in an uproar!

The entire capital was shocked!

However, the news of the South Forest barbarian army’s unusual movements spread like wildfire soon after. Rumors were circulating that the three great generals who had followed Fergus Archer to the capital had all been killed by Sean. Lord Archer was furious, and war was imminent!

Even more so, there were whispers of Fergus Archer possibly rebelling!

Today was Fergus Archer and Julia’s wedding day!

The Padishah had granted them marriage!

Ironically, Julia had been abducted by Sean during the battle at Jade Restaurant previously!

According to rumors, Princess Julia didn’t want to marry Fergus Archer but was infatuated with Sean. Even before Fergus Archer had arrived in the capital, Julia and Sean had been secretly involved, and it was highly likely that she had cuckolded Fergus Archer!

What’s more important was that Sean, as the General Wolf of the North, had already married and had a child while in Hilshire. He had a daughter, and if he really got together with Julia, it would be an outright case of marital infidelity!

Damn it!

Scumbag!!!

Various strange and shocking rumors circulated one after another, and the capital’s people were overwhelmed!

And all of these rumors were incredibly scandalous!

After leaving Hill Riverside, Sean and his group didn’t head straight to the capital. Instead, they went to a residence that had been arranged for them in the eastern suburbs of the capital!

This battle involved the struggle for power between Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe. Both sides were bound to bring a large number of Complete Stage practitioners to the scene. Naturally, Sean wouldn’t bring Cecelia along!

It was too dangerous!

Even Shadow Wolf and the others were not planned to be brought along. They all had early and mid-stage dark energy strength, making them a burden for Sean among a group of Complete Stage old monsters!

Sean alone was enough!

At the entrance of a small, detached building in the eastern suburbs of the capital, a Black Marsh Rhinotiger lay down, scaring away passersby who dared not approach!

Inside the building!

“Cecelia, please don’t misunderstand. My relationship with Mr. Mason is pure and innocent. It’s not like what the rumors say…” Julia was explaining awkwardly to Cecelia!

On their way there, they had heard the gossip about Sean and Julia!All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

The rumors were a mess, and all sorts of things were being said!

Cecelia smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not that petty!”

“I’m not that naive either!”

“I don’t believe just anyone’s words!”

With that, she turned to look at Sean and continued, “I only believe my husband!”

“That’s good…”

Julia let out a sigh of relief!

After spending time together in the cave, Cecelia and Julia had a certain understanding of each other. Seeing the warmth and harmony between Sean, Cecelia, and their daughter Phyllis, Julia had completely given up any unrealistic fantasies in her heart!

And Cecelia felt great sympathy for Julia’s plight!

After all, when she was with the Moore family, Cecelia had also been oppressed and bullied by her own family for a long time. She understood the feeling of being wronged with nowhere to turn, having to swallow the bitterness even if it broke her teeth!

“Mr. Mason…”

After explaining things to Cecelia, the two of them approached Sean. Julia hesitated for a moment before saying, “I want to go with you!”

“Is that okay?”

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback!

Sean furrowed his brows, “The Padishah granted you marriage; if you show up, it could be dangerous!”

Disappearing was the best choice!

If Julia went, it would only make things more complicated!

“It’s precisely because my grandfather granted the marriage that I must go!”

“I can’t not go!”

Julia looked at Sean and asked, “Mr. Mason chose to make a move on Fergus Archer on the day of our wedding, hoping to use my grandfather’s marriage decree to incite conflict between Prince Ashby, Fergus Archer, my father, and Prince Roscoe, causing them to fight amongst themselves!”

“Am I right?”

Sean didn’t say anything, which was as good as admitting it!

The Struggle for Succession!

The people involved were mostly imperial princes. Although Sean had entered the Bright Realm, being in the capital meant he had to consider Padishah’s attitude. In the past, he had taken revenge by attacking the Mason family and the Porter family. That was one thing, but if he were to take action against a prince, the consequences would be unpredictable!

So!

Let them fight for now. Princes biting each other like dogs, no matter who bit whom or even killed whom, that was a matter within the royal family, a matter of the royalty!

It had nothing to do with Sean!

All Sean had to do was wait for them to finish fighting, and then deal with Fergus Archer!

“No matter what!”

“He…”

“After all, he’s my father!”

“He gave birth to me!”

“He raised me!”

Julia’s eyes were slightly red as she whispered, “He could be ruthless enough to hurt me and push me into the fire and the mud, but I can’t bring myself to watch him in danger, even facing a life-threatening situation!”

“Besides!”

“There’s still my mother and my loved ones at home…”

“So!”

“I want to go back!”

“I want to go back and do what I’m supposed to do. I’ve thought a lot these days in the cave, and I’ve figured some things out and made some decisions. I think this is my fate…”

She spoke, not loudly, but with a firm tone!

Clearly, she wasn’t lying. She had made her own plans and decisions, ready to face it all bravely!

However, she didn’t say what she planned to do specifically!

“Well…”

“Alright!”

Sean understood her feelings, so he didn’t ask further or stop her. Although her appearance might disrupt Sean’s plan, she said she had her own plans too!

So, they’d each do their own thing!

“Spirit Wolf!”

Sean looked at Spirit Wolf and signaled, “You go with the princess and protect her safety!”

Spirit Wolf had already broken through and become a mid-level dark energy practitioner. As long as he didn’t deliberately fight, he should have no problem simply protecting someone!

“Alright!”

Spirit Wolf accepted the mission.

Julia glanced at Spirit Wolf and said, “Thank you, Mr. Mason!”

“Thank you!”

At nine in the morning!

Sean, Julia, and Spirit Wolf left the eastern suburbs by car, heading towards the city center and Prince Adam’s mansion. The area outside the mansion was already crowded with spectators!

It was a sea of people, completely congested!

Spirit Wolf stopped the car about 500 meters away, then he and Julia quietly blended into the crowd, making their way to the back door of Prince Adam’s mansion and entered from there!

Sean stayed in the car!

Waiting for Fergus Archer to come for the bride, waiting for Prince Ashby to bring trouble!

And they waited for about half an hour!

At ten in the morning, a sudden shout came from the distance: “Get out! All of you, get the hell out of my way!”

The voice was thunderous!

It was Fergus Archer who had arrived!

As he spoke, a shadow shot into the crowd like an arrow released from a bowstring. Wherever it passed, onlookers were sent flying, screaming in chaos!

Curiosity killed the cat!

Many people had been caught in the crossfire at the entrance of the Mason family’s villa before, but those gossip-loving citizens still couldn’t help but crowd forward!

They had it coming for being sent flying!

Fergus Archer rushed to the entrance of Prince Roscoe’s mansion and finally stopped, revealing his nearly 500-pound burly figure, like a fierce beast!

In his hand, he held the bone-crushing hammer that sent shivers down one’s spine!

Gasps and exclamations rose all around!

South Forest Lord Archer was famous, but the citizens of the capital had only heard of him, not seen him. Seeing Fergus Archer now, like a giant as the rumors said, how could they not be shocked to their core!

It was worth the trip!

It was worth the heat they endured!

However, those onlooking citizens didn’t know that if it hadn’t been for Sean killing the black-scaled python and the three tiger generals before, they would have witnessed an even more shocking scene today!

Imagine that!

Just like when Fergus Archer appeared in front of the Jade Restaurant, standing on top of the enormous head of the black-scaled python, with the three tiger generals riding on the backs of three Black Marsh Rhinotigers behind him. Their imposing presence and awe-inspiring demeanor were nothing short of dazzling!

“Make way!”

“Everyone, move!!!”

The citizens who had just been sent flying by Fergus Archer barely managed to stand up when another wave of icy scolding was heard!

Looking over, they saw a group of elderly men with half-white hair, arriving in two rows – one on the left and one on the right. They looked like the typical bodyguard teams seen around, driving away the curious crowd and clearing a path about three meters wide in the middle.

However, no one dared to treat these old men as ordinary bodyguards!

“Is that…”

“The Laydon family???”

“Damn!”

“Is it even real???”

Someone from the crowd recognized the identity of one of the elders, gasping in surprise and excitement, with a face full of exhilaration!

“You’re not mistaken!”

Someone nearby chimed in, “Not only is it the Laydon family’s head, but the whole group is also full of big shots that you wouldn’t normally even get a glimpse of…”

A rough count revealed that there were about thirty elders present, all of them being highly respected members of the capital’s major families. The crowd had many members from other families, so they naturally recognized the identities of these elders!

Sean remained seated in the car, not moving. He was well aware of the situation outside and could easily discern the power of these elders at a glance. They were all Complete Stage old monsters without exception!

A total of thirty-two!

This was probably the strongest force Prince Ashby could muster!

Little did they know that looking at the entire capital, if you combined all the Complete Stage practitioners from the major families, there were only around a hundred in total. A large portion of them served in the Imperial Palace, following the current Padishah.

Outside the Imperial Palace, only Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe had the ability and prestige to gather the remaining Complete Stage practitioners under their command, helping them compete for the position of Crown Prince in the hopes of ascending to the throne one day. By then, they could rely on their meritorious service to seek higher positions and greater benefits!

Originally, both Prince Ashby and Prince Roscoe had a similar number of Complete Stage practitioners in their ranks, making their forces seem evenly matched and difficult to distinguish. However, after the battle at Hill Riverside, more than ten Complete Stage practitioners led by Carl were killed, leaving fewer than twenty. Compared to Prince Ashby, their forces were now diminished and unbalanced – almost a two-to-one situation!

Add Fergus Archer to the mix, and Sean thought to himself, “Prince Ashby is trying to take advantage of this opportunity to completely push Prince Roscoe into the abyss, never to rise again.”

The members of the major families were no fools. They knew how to adapt and protect themselves. Once the situation in the struggle for succession became clear and Prince Roscoe lost his chance to turn the tables, his supporters would undoubtedly distance themselves from him without hesitation. Some might even switch sides to Prince Ashby!

That’s why this wedding was a rare opportunity for Prince Ashby. He sent his strongest lineup to deliver a fatal blow to Prince Roscoe!

“Look!”

“They’re coming!”

“That’s Prince Ashby’s car!!!”

After the thirty-two elders finished clearing the way, three royal luxury sedans slowly drove through the crowd, quickly arriving at the entrance of Prince Adam’s mansion and stopping behind Fergus Archer.

Fergus Archer didn’t rush inside; he was waiting for Prince Ashby and the others.

Then, amid hushed whispers and expectant gazes, the doors of the three sedans opened, and Prince Ashby, along with Prince William and Prince Green, stepped out one by one. All of them were dressed in splendid attire and exuded extraordinary charisma!

After Prince Ashby got out of the car, he scanned the surroundings before placing one hand behind his back, and walked unhurriedly to Fergus Archer’s side. Smiling, he gestured and said, “Lord Archer, the time has come!”

“Everything is ready; we can begin now!”

Fergus Archer’s face was ice-cold, his eyes exuding a fierce intent. There was not a hint of joy befitting a wedding. He snorted and, without any hesitation, shouted, “I, Fergus Archer!”

“Today, by imperial decree, I am here to marry Princess Julia!”

“Open the gates!!!”

While others celebrated their weddings with joy, Fergus Archer was different – full of momentum and murderous intent, he arrived carrying a massive bone-crushing hammer!

The atmosphere was quite bizarre!

A moment later!

With a creaking sound, the gates of Prince Adam’s mansion slowly opened, and a young man stepped out. He glanced at Fergus Archer, Prince Ashby, and the others, then gestured with his hand, saying, “Lord Archer, please!”

“Prince Ashby, please!”

“Prince William, please!”

“Prince Green, please!”

Then, he looked at the thirty-two elders who had accompanied Prince Ashby and continued, “As for the others, please wait outside!”

His voice was calm and steady, showing no signs of panic!

Clearly, Prince Roscoe’s faction knew Prince Ashby’s intentions and had made preparations!

Finally, it was about to begin!

Outside the crowd, Sean silently got out of the car, then quietly mingled with the crowd. Transforming into a shadow, he didn’t alert anyone as he silently climbed over the vermilion walls of Prince Adam’s mansion and entered the residence…
