Chapter 299: Padishah’s Summoning, You Are Not Worthy to Be Her Father
Hearing Julia’s words, her mother cried and nearly fainted on the spot. However, she didn’t try to stop Julia or persuade her. All she felt was endless sorrow and pain!
A mother knows her daughter best! As Julia’s mother, she clearly understood what Julia had experienced and endured over the years and what her husband, Prince Adam, had done to her. She also knew what Julia wanted.
So, at this moment, she regretted not having properly mediated the relationship between her daughter and her husband, which had led to a rift between father and daughter.
On the contrary, faced with Julia’s heartfelt plea, Prince Adam stood there dumbfounded. The first thought that came to his mind was: Now that Sean had officially entered the Bright Realm, his future prospects were limitless, as long as he didn’t die!
Moreover, Julia’s relationship with Sean was obviously good! Otherwise, Sean wouldn’t have been hiding in the shadows, only to suddenly step forward and save her when her life was in danger!
Julia was now the link between him and Sean!
If he were to follow Julia’s wishes and let her go, even severing their father-daughter relationship, what would happen if Sean harbored murderous intent towards him in the future???
No, absolutely not!!!
Although Prince Adam felt guilty towards his daughter, that small amount of guilt was far from enough when compared to his own interests and safety!
So, Prince Adam hurriedly said, “Julia, you’re weak right now, don’t talk nonsense. Go back to your room and rest, and I promise that in the future, I will definitely…”
“Dad!”
Julia’s voice suddenly increased several times, and her tears flowed more intensely. She knew that her father only cared about his own interests and would never let her go easily!
Dad!
Such an affectionate title was something Julia had seldom used before. She had always kept her distance from Prince Adam, inadvertently alienating their relationship!
Prince Adam was not just her father, he was more like her leader, her boss, controlling everything about her!
In the past, she would only obey!
But now!
She wanted to resist, she wanted to live for herself!
Tears filled her eyes as she stared at Prince Adam, speaking with unwavering determination, “Please, just pretend that Fergus Archer had strangled me to death earlier. Pretend that you never had a daughter like me, okay?”
“If you won’t leave me alone as long as I’m alive, then I’ll just kill myself! Is that okay???”
Just as she had told Sean before, during her days in the cave, she had thought a lot and made some decisions!
And today!
Whether it was assassinating Fergus Archer or seeking death wholeheartedly, including cutting ties with Prince Adam, it was all her decision!
“You!”
Prince Adam never expected that his usually obedient and gentle daughter would become so stubborn today, refusing to yield. In his anger, he raised his hand and was about to slap her tear-streaked face!
However!
Just as his hand reached halfway, his wrist tightened abruptly, as if gripped by iron pliers. Before he could react, an irresistible force threw him across the room!
Thud!
He fell five meters away on the tiled floor, teeth knocked out by the impact!
When he raised his head, his mouth was full of blood!
“You’re not worthy of being Julia’s father!”
The one who threw Prince Adam was none other than Sean. He coldly glared at Prince Adam and snorted, “From now on, Julia is my friend, but she is no longer your daughter, Prince Adam!”
“She has nothing to do with you anymore!”
“If you dare to disrespect her in any way, next time, you won’t be able to stand up again!”
A threat, an undisguised threat!
Originally, Sean didn’t want to meddle in Julia’s family affairs, but Prince Adam’s violence had already crossed the line of what he could tolerate!
Julia!
When they first met at Jade Restaurant, Julia had asked Sean to call her by her first name. The title was too intimate, so Sean had not used it!
This was the first time!
Since Julia had decided to sever her relationship with Prince Adam and abandon her title, calling her by her royal title was clearly inappropriate now!
Confronted with Sean’s icy gaze, Prince Adam staggered to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, not daring to make a sound!
“Then let’s listen to Mr. Mason!”
“Hehe!”
At this moment, Prince Roscoe said with a smile, “It’s Julia’s honor to be Mr. Mason’s friend. I believe that she will be happier and more joyful in the future with Mr. Mason than she is now!”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’m sorry about the incident at Jade Restaurant last time, but luckily, nothing terrible happened!”
“We’ll always remember your help, Mr. Mason. If Mr. Mason doesn’t mind, we can also become friends with Mr. Mason, just like Julia…”
Just a moment ago, when Prince Ashby tried to win Sean over, Prince Roscoe and the others had scoffed!
And now, Prince Roscoe was doing the same thing!
“Friends?”
Sean turned his head to look at Prince Roscoe, his gaze becoming even colder, and snorted: “The Porter family are loyal supporters of Prince Roscoe, and their head, Pierce Porter, is a lapdog at your side.”
“You should know about the things he has done in the past, right?”
“Or rather!”
“Was it under your orders?”
Killing Pierce Porter avenged only half of his grandfather Williams Mason’s grudge!
Prince Roscoe was still alive!
Naturally, Sean couldn’t be friends with him!
Upon hearing this, Prince Roscoe’s face changed drastically. His smile froze, and he could tell the implications of Sean’s words. He quickly explained, “Mr. Mason, did Pierce Porter say something to you?”
“I think there must be some misunderstanding. Regarding your grandfather’s matter, actually, I…”
Prince Roscoe’s words were cut off halfway!
At that moment!
A chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside the main entrance. A group of soldiers clad in armor and armed with swords and spears rushed into the mansion. The leader was an old man with half-white hair, who looked to be over sixty.
Behind the old man were ten middle-aged men!
Everyone was taken aback!
As Prince Roscoe’s words were interrupted, he angrily turned his head to look at the soldiers. When he saw the old man leading them, his face showed surprise, and he hurriedly said, “General Garner?”
“Why have you come personally?”
The old man didn’t answer Prince Roscoe’s question. He scanned the courtyard filled with corpses and then looked at Sean with some astonishment, asking, “I presume this young friend is the renowned General Wolf of the North, Sean Mason?”
With that, he bowed his hand to Sean with great respect.
“Who are you?”
Sean furrowed his brow. He had never seen this old man before, but he had already guessed his identity and intentions.
“Mr. Mason!”
Before the old man could answer, Prince Roscoe took the initiative to introduce him: “This is the commander of the Imperial Palace’s Forbidden Army, Eliott Garner. He is responsible for guarding the Imperial Palace and commands 500 forbidden troops, all of whom are practitioners above the mid-stage of dark energy.”
Upon hearing this, Sean nodded and returned the salute, saying, “So it’s General Garner. Pardon my rudeness.”
“Mr. Mason, you’re too polite!” Eliott Garner said with a smile. “I have come here under the orders of the Padishah to invite Mr. Mason to the Imperial Palace for an audience with the Padishah.”
As expected, the King of Night had told Sean in the cave that after he killed Fergus Archer, the Padishah would summon him to the Imperial Palace, and all his questions would be answered there.
However, Eliott Garner’s timing was impeccable. Sean had just finished fighting and killing when he arrived with his team. Clearly, it wasn’t a coincidence but intentional.
An audience?
Prince Roscoe was taken aback by Eliott Garner’s words and asked, “General Garner, has my father…”
“Come out of seclusion?”
In recent years, the Padishah had been in closed-door cultivation, hardly caring about worldly affairs. This had led to the increasingly fierce struggle for power between Prince Roscoe and Prince Ashby. Just a few days ago, Prince Roscoe had wanted to enter the Imperial Palace for an audience with the Padishah but was turned away.
Now, the Padishah had sent someone to summon Sean, which surprised Prince Roscoe.
“Not yet!” Eliott Garner replied. “But there are some matters that need to be discussed with Mr. Mason, so…”
“Hehe!”
Prince Roscoe had been stopped by Eliott Garner when he tried to enter the Imperial Palace just a few days ago.
“So that’s how it is…”
“I understand!”
Prince Roscoe looked at Sean meaningfully, and a storm raged in his heart as he thought to himself: It seems that my father already knows about Mr. Mason’s advancement to the Bright Realm!
That’s why!
He made an exception to summon him to the Imperial Palace!
Bright Realm!
It was the realm of the emperor, powerful enough to dominate any region. Generally speaking, there could only be one Bright Realm practitioner in a country.
So, what would his father do to Sean in his haste to meet him?
Would it be to kill or to keep?
Prince Roscoe didn’t know that the reason Sean was able to advance to the Bright Realm ahead of time was because of Padishah’s help. Therefore, he had the common mindset of ordinary people, subconsciously thinking that Padishah might not be able to tolerate Sean!
“When do we set off?” Sean also had doubts, but he had no choice but to go.
Eliott Garner gestured, “If it’s convenient for Mr. Mason, please follow me now. His Majesty has been waiting for a long time!”
“Alright!” Sean nodded and said to Spirit Wolf, “You take Julia back first.”
“Okay!” Spirit Wolf was actually worried about Sean’s safety, but the Imperial Palace was not a place he could go to without being summoned by Padishah.
Afterward, Sean took a bath at Prince Adam’s mansion, changed his clothes, and left the residence. He rode in the royal family’s luxurious car, accompanied by Eliott Garner and others, heading straight for the Imperial Palace.
“Roscoe!” Watching the luxurious car carrying Sean disappear around the street corner, Prince Adam asked with a solemn face, “Do you think Mr. Mason’s trip brings fortune or misfortune?”
Indeed! Fortune or misfortune! Sean’s strength was now too great, his influence too heavy. His life and death would affect many people and many things.
Prince Roscoe took a deep breath and said in a heavy voice, “Misfortune lurks within fortune, and fortune hides within misfortune!” “Who can accurately guess or understand Father’s thoughts?”
“Here’s what we’ll do! You immediately send someone to keep an eye on the Imperial Palace for me. If Sean can walk out of the Imperial Palace alive within three hours, he may have a promising future and soar to great heights!” “Otherwise!” “He’ll die even more miserably than Fergus Archer!”
