God Of War Dad

Bang!

Thrown back hundreds of meters in one breath, Sean landed on his feet, not falling over, but standing firmly. The ground beneath him scattered, as he forcefully stamped out two deep craters!

“General!” Spring rushed over, wanting to lend a hand, but Sean waved her off, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his icy face somewhat pale, looking across to Lord North!

Equally so!

Lord North flew back a hundred meters, landing as steady as a mountain. However, the deeply wrinkled elderly face could not conceal the signs of exhaustion and pain!

Indeed…

Both were injured!

Both had wounds!

Yet, neither had fallen!

“Dean!”

“Lord National Master!”

Three elders from the Buddha Academy and several North Kingdom generals hurried over, anxiously assessing Lord North. However, Lord North paid them no mind. He and Sean stood two hundred meters apart, locking eyes. He faintly smiled and said, “General Wolf has not disappointed me. A young hero, truly formidable.”

“A formidable one indeed!”

This statement came from the heart. Lord North, nearly a century old, once a peerless prodigy in his youth, had only reached his current state and strength after enduring a path far more arduous than others! Each breakthrough, how difficult it had been!

However!

Sean achieved the Bright Realm at twenty-six, now at twenty-seven, he could already rival long-established practitioners who had been in the Bright Realm for a decade. His future, if he lived to fifty? Eighty? A hundred? Limitless prospects! Extraordinary potential!!!

“You!”

“Not bad yourself.”

Sean politely responded, but it sounded somewhat impolite! You, not bad at all… At Sean’s current level and strength, saying this to someone else would be fine. However, using such a flippant remark on the dignified Lord North appeared too arrogant, too disrespectful!

After all!

Who was Lord North? What was his status? He was a super heavyweight, almost on par with the ruler of the North Kingdom, Albert Sitwell. Even Sitwell himself might not utter such words within the North Kingdom!

Suddenly!

The three elders from the Buddha Academy and several North Kingdom generals were angered, glaring at Sean with a desire to rush over and confront him!

However!

It was just a moment of hot-headedness… having just witnessed Sean’s terrifying combat prowess, to confront him? That wouldn’t be a confrontation, it would be a death wish!

So!

Feeling aggrieved?

They could only grit their teeth!

“Heh!”

Compared to the elders from the Buddha Academy and the North Kingdom generals, Lord North paid no attention. Instead, he nodded and said, “The young should be arrogant.”

“Moreover!”

“General Wolf is a dragon among men, truly possessing the strength and capital for arrogance. It took me nearly a hundred years, after a century of effort, to achieve what General Wolf has at twenty-seven…”

“Speaking of which!”

“In comparison, what General Wolf said as ‘not bad’ is already an excessive compliment to me!”

At these words!

Everyone was stunned! They had to admit, Lord North’s magnanimity was truly beyond ordinary people’s reach!

After a brief pause, Lord North continued, “A hundred moves have passed, and General Wolf stands unwavering. I also have strength remaining. This battle, let’s call it a draw. What say you, General Wolf?”

A draw!

As per their prior agreement, victory or defeat was to be determined within a hundred moves, deciding life or death! The victor lives, the loser dies! But now, with no clear victor within a hundred moves, how would they decide life and death???

“The words I spoke before, the promises made, still hold true!”

Lord North continued, “Starting tonight, the weapons are put away, the horses released to the southern mountains. The grievances between the North Kingdom and the Shirine Empire are settled. Neither nation shall encroach upon the other, each to develop on their own!”

“However!”

“If, one day, the North Kingdom violates this promise and encroaches upon the Shirine Empire, General Wolf can enter the North Kingdom at any time, go to the Buddha Academy, and demand justice from me. I will offer up my head to apologize to the world!”

“Of course!”

“With General Wolf’s once-in-a-century bloodline talent and enormous potential, if such a day arrives, by then, General Wolf’s strength and level will likely surpass mine. Even if I were to regret, I would be powerless to resist, and could only allow General Wolf to prevail…”

These words!

Lord North spoke with reason and logic! If he died, there was a high possibility that Albert Sitwell, in a fit of anger, would tear up the agreement! On the contrary, if he lived, he could fulfill his promise and maintain peace between the two nations!!!

However!

For some reason, seeing the seemingly amiable smile onLord North’s old face, Sean felt a slight stir in his heart, faintly detecting a scent of a successful scheme-a strange feeling emerged, as if… he had been duped by this old man!

Lord North seemed to have anticipated the outcome long ago, or rather, a draw was the result he had aimed for! So now, with the two of them at a stalemate, Lord North took advantage of the situation, proposing an annulment without bloodshed. Through a promise and the assurance of peace between the two nations, he directly secured the remaining remnants of the North Kingdom, thus bringing to a complete end this grand national war!!!

“Damn it!”

“He’s truly become a cunning old fox!!”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Having realized this, Sean gritted his teeth, silently cursing in his heart!

However!

Sean didn’t expose Lord North’s scheming, because regardless, ending the war between the two countries and striving for lasting peace was not only Lord North’s objective but also Sean’s hope! On this point, the two men’s ideals aligned!

Therefore!

“Agreed!”

Sean nodded, accepting the outcome of the stalemate. Then, changing the subject, he added, “A hundred moves were too few; our exchange just now wasn’t satisfying. Another day, I will personally visit the North Kingdom to spar with the national master!”

According to Sean’s plan, after the national war, his next target would be the Hall of Jade! Phoenix Gallbladder! Both Lord North and the ruler of the North Kingdom, Albert Sitwell, were members of the Hall of Jade. Based on information obtained from King of Night and Aunt Sandals, there was a secret base of the Hall of Jade within the North Kingdom! Therefore, Sean wasn’t speaking without basis. Before long, he would personally go to the North Kingdom to search for clues related to the Hall of Jade!

“This…”

The corner of Lord North’s eyes twitched slightly, as he smiled and said, “Very well! I will await General Wolf’s visit at the Buddha Academy in the imperial capital of the North Kingdom!”

After that!

Lord North turned to the three elders from the Buddha Academy and several North Kingdom generals standing behind him, gesturing, “Immediately organize the troops and return to the North Kingdom!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

With a million-strong army heading south with the determination to engulf the Shirine Empire, they unexpectedly encountered this result, which defied everyone’s expectations. To be honest, leaving just like this, the three elders from the Buddha Academy and the surviving North Kingdom generals were somewhat dissatisfied and worried. They feared… they feared that upon returning to the North Kingdom, they wouldn’t be able to explain themselves to the ruler of the North Kingdom, Albert Sitwell!

Unfortunately!

The current situation was highly unfavorable for them. Continuing the battle would only lead to their burial here. So… after a moment of hesitation, they all accepted the orders and, as per Lord North’s command, led their troops back to the capital!!!

Soon!

The remaining tens of thousands of North Kingdom troops were fully organized. Bathed in the cold moonlight and concealed by the vast night, they marched north along the official road, departing from Hill Riverside!

Watching the North Kingdom army, akin to a dark cloud, recede into the distance and vanish completely from view, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around to face Spring and the others, about to speak…

Suddenly!

There was a rush of footsteps, and Knox, who had been standing on the outskirts of the crowd, hurriedly dashed to Sean’s side. His face was full of excitement and admiration, without a word, he directly knelt on one knee before Sean!!!

Knox knelt on one knee, saluting with folded hands, and respectfully said, “I…!!!”
