God Of War Dad

Upon seeing this grandeur, the crowd was buzzing with discussions and pointing fingers. Those from the small clans of Swordland who had heard rumors beforehand, as well as those from the outside forces, had solemn expressions on their faces.

So, the Mason family really intended to take action! The rules of the Hill of Swords were truly about to change!

Who knew if this was a blessing or a curse!

Soon, a large convoy of dozens of luxury vehicles cut through the crowd, arriving at the foot of the Hill of Swords, and one by one, they parked in the parking area. As the car doors opened, dark-energy practitioners with extraordinary temperament stepped out of the luxury cars!

There were more than a hundred of them!NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

These people were originally from the top-tier families in Swordland, with profound backgrounds. Now, gathered together to form an alliance, their luxurious lineup was naturally unmatched!

“Mr. Harris!”

“Please!”

After getting out of the car, Ernest Mason came straight to Jayden Harris and gestured with his hand.

“Mr. Mason!”

“Please!”

Jayden Harris glanced at the crowd and then walked with Ernest Mason towards the lounge specially built at the foot of the Hill of Swords.

“Damn!”

“That…”

“That seems to be Jayden Harris, the young master of the Crane’s first prestigious family, the Harris family. I’ve seen him before, I would never mistake him!”

“Unexpected!”

“Really unexpected, the Harris family actually came!”

“And they’ve joined forces with the Mason family!!!”

Someone recognized Jayden Harris and publicly announced his identity, which was like dropping a bomb in boiling water, causing a wave of shocked exclamations. Especially among those citizens of Swordland who were completely unaware, they gathered in small groups, speculating wildly and whispering among themselves!

The festival officially started at twelve o’clock noon, thus, before twelve o’clock, the eighty-one individuals who would enter the Hill of Swords cave must be determined in advance!

The arena challenge started at nine o’clock in the morning!

So, in the next half an hour or so, luxury cars continued to drive towards the Hill of Swords. Locals generally arrived earlier, while those who came later were mostly forces from other regions who had come out of admiration!

“That’s the Chest family’s car!”

“And Karen Smith!”

“My God!”

“…”

The Hill of Swords festival is held once a year, and many forces from other provinces and cities are not first-time participants. The citizens of Swordland recognized their identities just by looking at their luxury cars!

As people from various forces both inside and outside the city, familiar and unfamiliar, arrived one after another, the atmosphere at the scene gradually reached its peak!

At this moment, another convoy of cars drove towards them, a total of seven luxury cars, two of which had license plates from the capital!

Just one look! Only one look! Immediately, many citizens of Swordland recognized those two luxury cars, and the next moment, excited exclamations sounded once again from the noisy crowd: “They’re coming, they’re coming!”

“Look, look, you all look!”

“It’s them!”

“It’s the people who wiped out the Buosont family’s practitioners last night. They didn’t run away overnight, they’re actually here to participate in the festival!!!”

After a night of spreading and fermenting, the news about the battle at the Taylor family’s doorstep last night had almost spread throughout Swordland. After all, the one who was executed was Jason Buosont, and the one who was wiped out was a big family in Swordland!

So, in terms of expectations, compared to the other foreign forces, Sean and his party were the ones that the citizens of Swordland were most looking forward to. They were all eager to see what kind of identity those young people, who were so arrogant last night, truly had!

What would be the result when Sean and his people collided head-on with the Mason family?

Today was a sequel to last night’s drama, and where the plot would go next was anyone’s guess!

For a moment, even Jayden Harris and Ernest Mason in the lounge were startled by the commotion outside. Hearing those harsh discussions, Jayden Harris snorted, “I didn’t expect them to really dare to come!”

“Then let’s use their blood to offer sacrifices to our swords!”

Upon hearing this, Ernest Mason nodded and said solemnly, “Rest assured, Mr. Harris, they will die a terrible death today!” He stood up, glanced at the time, waved his big hand, and gestured to the helmsmen of the major families of Swordland, such as Josh Walsh and Loong Jackman. “Gentlemen, it’s about time. Years of plotting, success or failure hinge on this moment!” “Let’s go!” “Follow me and fight fiercely!!!” With these words, he turned and left the lounge.

Josh Walsh, Loong Jackman and others followed behind Ernest Mason, each with a serious face and intense fighting spirit. Loong Jackman, in particular, had been holding back his resentment all night, and couldn’t wait to rush over to settle accounts with Tim Lewis…

At this time, in one of the luxury cars, Spirit Wolf was still driving. Cecilia was lying quietly in the back seat, her eyebrows relaxed, her eyes closed, like a sleeping beauty who could bring down a kingdom or a city, waiting for her prince to wake her with a kiss.

“Daddy!” Phyllis was held in Sean’s arms, looking at the sea of people outside the car window, and asked in confusion, “What are they doing?” “So many people!” “If we come here, can we wake Mom up?”

In the past, what Phyllis thought about all day was to have Sean and Cecilia work overtime and give her a bunch of brothers and sisters as soon as possible. But now, the only thought in Phyllis’ mind is to wake Cecilia up. If she doesn’t wake up, how can she give birth to her brothers and sisters?

“Yes,” Sean nodded and smiled, saying, “The person who can wake Mom up is here.” “Do you want Daddy to take you to find her in a bit?”

Hearing this, Phyllis was overjoyed and said excitedly, “Yes, yes, as long as I can save Mom, I’m willing to do anything!” As the father and daughter were talking, the luxury car had arrived at the parking lot at the foot of Hill of Swords and slowly came to a stop.

However, while Howard Taylor and the rest of the Taylor family got out of the car, Sean showed no intention of getting out. Tim Lewis also got out of the car and followed Howard Taylor. After all, the Taylor family doesn’t have any Complete Stage practitioners, even if they possess the totem of Hill of Swords cave, they don’t have much say.

“Master Tim…” Howard Taylor looked around at the scene, which was like a storm, and his worries became even more intense. He couldn’t help but ask, “Does he… Does he really have a chance?”

To be honest, Howard Taylor had no confidence at this moment. Not to mention that besides Tim Lewis, he hadn’t seen another so-called Complete Stage practitioner with his own eyes. Even if there were, so what?

Two Complete Stage practitioners… Can they really fight against the powerful alliance of the major families of Swordland, led by the Mason family? The more Howard Taylor thought about it, the more his heart sank.

“How so?” Tim Lewis didn’t explain, but asked in reply, “Mr. Taylor, do you not trust him? Or do you not trust me?” His expression was somewhat displeased.

Seeing this, Howard Taylor quickly said, “I dare not! It’s just that…”

“If you dare not, then don’t say unnecessary words!” Before Howard Taylor could finish his sentence, Tim Lewis interrupted him, somewhat impatiently indicating, “So many people are watching, don’t embarrass yourself!” “Even if you have to pretend, pretend to be confident!” “Understand?”

In an instant, not only Howard Taylor, but all the members of the Taylor family present were stunned by Tim Lewis’s words, their faces growing increasingly ugly. Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Master Tim, are you serious? There are numerous practitioners at the foot of Hill of Swords, nearly a hundred members from the Mason family faction, all of them are middle stage or above. If we pretend in front of these people, if we don’t pretend well, people could die!!!

However, Tim Lewis didn’t care about their shocked eyes and questioning gazes. He walked directly towards the challenge stage on the opposite side. His stride was firm, his chest was out, his aura was imposing. Just like he said, he pretended to be very confident. He looked so damn arrogant!

Overwhelmed by helplessness, Howard Taylor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gritted his teeth, and had no choice but to lead a dozen or so members of the Taylor family, following with a stiff upper lip…

Elsewhere, on the western side of the Hill of Swords, flanking the entrance to the Dragon Ladder, stood two enormous circular dueling platforms. Rising about three meters high and spanning dozens of meters in diameter, the platform on the left was uniform grey, flat as a whetstone, and devoid of any objects.

In stark contrast, the platform on the right was painted a blinding blood red!

Moreover, the periphery of the platform was fenced off with an iron railing about five meters high, encompassing the entire blood-red platform. It was covered at the top too, giving the impression of a massive iron cage enveloping the entire red platform – much like an open-air prison!

Unbeknownst to many, just as the colors and construction of these two platforms differed greatly, so did their purpose.

The grey platform on the left could be considered a regular dueling stage, primarily used for external forces to challenge the Swordland family. Battles were to the point of submission, with no fatalities permitted. The victor would earn a spot and gain entry to the Hill of Swords cave!

The blood-red platform on the right, however, was the polar opposite!

Once one stepped onto it, a fight to the death was inevitable!

At that moment, the entire platform would be sealed off with iron bars. The fighters inside could not exit, and no one from the outside could enter. The combatants would have to fight until one of them died on the platform for the challenge to end!

This was specifically designed for those who had deep-seated grudges before the challenge, harboring deep hatred for each other and wanting to seize the opportunity to win a spot in the Hill of Swords cave, while also executing their opponent!

For instance, Loong Jackman and Tim Lewis!

“Ladies and Gentlemen!”

“Quiet, please!”

When Ernest Mason and the others emerged from the rest room, they glanced from afar at Howard Taylor and Tim Lewis in the parking lot. Then, they ascended the grey platform and Ernest Mason shouted out, “Today is the day of our annual festival. The people of Swordland celebrate together, join in the grand event. As the rotating host family of this festival, I, on behalf of the Mason family and these clan leaders behind me, thank the people of Swordland for their continued support and love…”

“Moreover!”

“On behalf of the people of Swordland, I welcome all friends who have come from afar to participate in the festival…”

Ernest Mason stood alone at the forefront of the platform, facing the vast sea of people before him. Standing with his hands behind his back and a lofty demeanor, his opening remarks were vivid and colorful!

The vast crowd quieted, and only Ernest Mason’s voice echoed like thunder, reaching the ears of everyone present.

“However!”

Halfway through his speech, Ernest Mason abruptly changed his tone. His originally harmonious tone suddenly became somewhat cold and indifferent. He sternly said, “The Hill of Swords belongs to Swordland. Swordland belongs to all its people!”

“I assume everyone knows that during ancient times, Saint Leo descended to the world, banished demons, and their feats have been passed down through generations. When Saint Leo left, they left a divine sword here to protect the people of Swordland for generations. The energy of the Hill of Swords helps us activate our own bloodlines, break through martial bottlenecks, and this is why we have the prosperous era of Swordland today!”

“But!”

“The energy within the Hill of Swords is not inexhaustible or unlimited. After generations of acquisition and squandering, the energy of the Hill of Swords is no longer what it once was. Even though our ancestors dug holes and opened caves, it only solved a temporary problem and was not a long-term solution.”

“Now, the 81 caves on the Hill of Swords have been dug a hundred meters deep. The entire Hill of Swords is riddled with holes and covered in wounds!”

“And we, as descendants of Saint Leo, as children of the Hill of Swords, do we continue to squander this way, constantly rubbing salt into the wounds of the Hill of Swords?”

“Do we watch as the Hill of Swords is destroyed by our own hands?”

“Do we bury our own mother, the Hill of Swords, with our own hands?”

“No!”

“We cannot continue to be so selfish, so wasteful, so ungrateful!!!” Ernest Mason’s words rang true and clear, deafening to the ears and beyond anyone’s expectations. Ernest Mason, the rightful head of the Mason family, was indeed astute. Unlike the rotation families of previous years who were full of anticipation for this year’s festival, he, on the other hand, completely caught everyone off guard by pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone’s heads right at the start!

It sounded… quite reasonable!

The vast crowd fell into silence. Many of the people of Swordland were moved by Ernest Mason’s righteous words. Their spirits were uplifted, their emotions were high!

Even more so, someone in the crowd loudly responded, “Mr. Mason is right!”

“The Hill of Swords is ours, Swordland is ours. Whether to continue digging and how to dig should be decided by us, the people of Swordland!”

“We can’t let outsiders take advantage of us anymore, harming our mother, the Hill of Swords!”

“We need to establish new rules!”

“We need to protect our mother, the Hill of Swords!!!”

Once someone took the lead, others quickly followed, their voices rising and roaring like a tidal wave!

Of course, those who led the applause and jumped out to support Ernest Mason and stir up the emotions of the people of Swordland were all people prearranged by Ernest Mason and the major families!

The goal, of course, was to use the people of Swordland to provide a sufficient reason for their upcoming reforms and to build a solid foundation of public opinion!

Ernest Mason was quite satisfied with this effect, so he continued, “I understand your feelings, but please don’t rush, let me finish what I have to say!”

“The Hill of Swords is ours!”

“It’s reasonable for outsiders to want to cultivate with the aid of the Hill of Swords!”

“However, given the harsh reality of the dwindling energy within the Hill of Swords, the rules of the festival do need some adjustment. Otherwise, if certain families in Swordland are in cahoots with others to line their own pockets, betraying us from within, breaking our Swordland rules at will, and killing our people, the consequences would be unimaginable!!!”

As he spoke, Ernest Mason turned his head and his icy gaze swept towards Howard Taylor and Tim Lewis, who had already walked to the front of the platform and were about to ascend it!

Clearly, Ernest Mason’s words had a deeper meaning!

He was referring to Howard Taylor and Tim Lewis!

Upon hearing this, Howard Taylor’s heart trembled. He halted abruptly, lifted his head, and locked eyes with Ernest Mason from across the distance. His already worried expression instantly became more anxious!

He thought: Ernest Mason, this old fox, after all the pretentious preamble, is he finally pointing the finger at our Taylor family?
