God Of War Dad

Witnessed!

Members of the Hall of Swords and the White Army stopped in their tracks, turning to look at Sean. Excitement was palpable in their expressions. They followed Sean, and as Sean’s status rose, so did theirs and the power of their family forces. The General! Master! Emperor! Compared to the General and the Master, the Emperor was the ruler of a nation, a true emperor, incomparable! And now! The Shirine Empire’s imperial city was firmly under Sean’s control, the royal family wiped out. If coupled with the full support of the army, it was no exaggeration to say that the position of the Emperor was within Sean’s grasp, just a nod away from sitting in that seat, guiding the nation, and commanding the world!

Therefore, tens of thousands of expectant gazes fell on Sean at the same time. Even though it was a chilly moonlit night, Sean standing there seemed like a brilliant sun!

Everyone was waiting for Sean’s answer!!!

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Sean hesitated for a moment, not giving them an answer, nor even glancing back at them. When he came to his senses, he directly reached out, opened the passenger door of the luxury car, and got in without a word!

This… Everyone was stunned! Dumbfounded! What did this mean? Silence? Did that mean… agreement or refusal???

“Don’t just stand there like fools!” Just as everyone was at a loss, full of doubt, Sean’s voice came from the car, “Get in!”

“Back to the capital!”

He completely ignored Knox and the plea of the tens of thousands of Shirine Empire troops!

“Let’s go!”

Spring was the first to react, and followed by getting into the car with Sean. Everyone present was clever, seasoned old foxes. Since Sean was unwilling to make a statement at this moment, they naturally wouldn’t urge him to.

Swoosh! Karen Smith, quick-witted, immediately rushed forward, got into the car, and secured a seat.

“I’ll drive!”

Tim Lewis had always been responsible for driving for Sean, and this time was no exception. However, this time was different. Although Sean hadn’t made a statement, they knew that during the journey back to the capital, Sean would definitely express his thoughts.

So, this was an excellent opportunity to ride with Sean and gain firsthand information. Originally, there was still space in the rear compartment of the luxury car, enough for Ernest Mason, the old monk, and the members of the White Army to sit in. However, after Tim Lewis got in, he didn’t give them a chance to join. With a clang, the luxury car emitted a puff of smoke and sped away!

Damn it!!! Ernest Mason and the others immediately had the urge to rush forward, drag Tim Lewis out of the car, and give him a good beating!

“Amitabha…” Even the devout and pure old monk couldn’t help but raise his right hand to his chest, staring at Tim Lewis in the car, uttering a Buddhist chant, and then indignantly cursing, “Damn you!!!”

“General Knox!” When the luxury car had driven hundreds of meters away, Sean’s voice came from the car again, resounding, “This battle was fierce. Tonight, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you and the soldiers to clean up the battlefield!”

“As for the position of the Emperor…”

“Don’t worry!”

“I have my own sense of propriety!”

With that, the luxury car had already disappeared into the night, heading straight for the capital!

“Go!” Ernest Mason gritted his teeth, gesturing as he got into another luxury car, indicating, “Follow them!”

Soon, all the members of the Hall of Swords and the White Army successively got into their cars and left, leaving only Knox and tens of thousands of Shirine Empire troops dumbfounded, still kneeling there!

His own sense of propriety???

Knox took a deep breath, then stood up and ordered, “Get up, all of you!”

“Clean up the battlefield!”

“Escort our fallen brothers on their final journey!!!”

At this moment, Hill Riverside had already become completely quiet, utterly silent. However, the north slope of Hill Riverside was almost covered with bodies, blood flowing like a river. Under the night wind, a pungent smell of blood wafted, as if warning the world…

Peace!

Hard-earned peace!!!

…

“Sir…” On the road, Karen Smith, sitting side by side with Spring in the rear compartment, hesitated for a long time. Seeing that neither Tim Lewis nor Spring spoke, he cursed inwardly, feeling forced to ask, “The position of the Emperor is of great importance, concerning the peace of the Shirine Empire. General Knox was right just now. Looking at the entire Shirine Empire now, perhaps only you can bear this heavy responsibility. I wonder… what is your intention?”

Karen Smith kepthis voice low, and his tone very gentle, afraid of accidentally angering Sean!

At the words, Spring raised an eyebrow, and even Tim Lewis discreetly perked up his ears. Seeing this, Karen Smith cursed inwardly! Damn it! You want to know, why don’t you ask yourselves? You don’t dare to ask, and when I take the risk to ask, you all eagerly await the answer. Shameless!

“Do you want to know?” Sean turned to look at Karen Smith, not answering his question, but asking in return, “What does Mr. Smith think?”

This… caught Karen Smith off guard. The stone he threw came back to hit him. His heart raced, and he cautiously replied, “If I may speak, I believe that with great power comes great responsibility. With your capabilities, Sir, you should shoulder this responsibility! Therefore, as long as it benefits the Shirine Empire, Sir, you should take the position!”

Karen Smith shamelessly and skillfully shifted the focus from himself to the benefit of the Shirine Empire, speaking with an air of righteousness. Sean just smiled faintly and turned to Spring, asking, “And what do you think?”

“Me?” Spring thought for a moment, then shook her head, saying, “National affairs, family matters, and worldly affairs-how can the General manage everything? There are always priorities. So, I believe that compared to the position of the Emperor, the General has more important matters to attend to!”

It was evident that Spring opposed. She knew that Cecilia was still lying in the Hill of Swords, waiting for Sean to rescue her, and that Sean still had to seize the Phoenix Gall from the Hall of Jade. There were many things he had to do, and he shouldn’t be held back by a mere position of Emperor!

“And you?” Sean turned to Tim Lewis!

Three black lines appeared on Tim Lewis’s forehead. Damn it, Karen Smith agreed, Spring opposed, one to one, and now the ball was kicked to me?

“I think…” Tim Lewis smiled, “No matter what decision Sir makes, he must have his reasons. Therefore, we will follow Sir’s arrangements unwaveringly. Whatever happens, we will steadfastly support Sir’s choices!”

Passing the ball, huh? I can do that too! Tim Lewis flattered Sean, expressing his loyalty, but didn’t disclose his own stance!

At the words, Karen Smith’s face darkened, glaring fiercely at the back of Tim Lewis’s head. He felt the urge to punch him. How dare he be even more slippery than me? It’s just not fair!

In the midst of the conversation, the luxury car had silently returned to the capital under the cover of night and entered the imperial city!

“Stop the car!” Sean seemed to have made a decision. Suddenly, he said, “As a general, I can command the troops, conquer lands, and defend the country! But as an emperor, I cannot.”

“And so…”

“The position of the emperor of the Shirine Empire, I would not sit on, should not sit on, and am not suited to sit on. I thought of someone who might…”From NôvelDrama.Org.

With that said, Sean got out of the car without further ado and walked briskly towards one of the loft buildings in the heart of the imperial city!

Upon hearing Sean’s words, both Karen Smith and Tim Lewis were momentarily stunned. Watching Sean stride towards the particular loft, even Spring couldn’t help but furrow her brow, showing a hint of surprise.

Evidently, the person selected by Sean was somewhat unexpected to them…

The next morning, as the eastern sky began to lighten, thousands of miles away from the imperial city of the Shirine Empire, within the imperial capital of the North Kingdom, a luxury car, much like a fierce tiger, weaved through the streets and alleys, heading directly towards the grand imperial city situated at the heart of the capital.

In comparison to the capital of the Shirine Empire and its imperial city, the size and splendor of the imperial capital and city of the North Kingdom were beyond compare. After all, the North Kingdom’s territory and national strength far surpassed that of the Shirine Empire!

Sitting inside the luxury car were none other than Lord North, who had returned from the Hill Riverside battlefield, and the three elders from the Buddha Academy.

“We’re almost there!”

The atmosphere inside the car was solemn. One of the Buddha Academy elders, responsible for driving, wore an incredibly grave expression as he spoke, “Dean, the emperor has long planned for this national battle, mobilizing a million strong troops, expecting inevitable victory!”

“And now…”

“General Carter has fallen in battle, more than twenty Complete Stage generals have perished, and the losses among the million soldiers are severe. Just moments ago, news came that the emperor, upon learning of this, flew into a rage. He is currently waiting in front of the Temple of Heavenly Retribution!”

“The emperor’s fury!”

“Dean, can you… really bear this? Can you truly persuade the emperor to accept the peace treaty you and Sean have proposed?”

In response, it was evident that the three elders from the Buddha Academy were not optimistic. Although it was widely known that the relationship between the ruler of the North Kingdom, Albert Sitwell, and Lord North was extraordinary, this national battle was not only a matter of national honor and disgrace but also related to Albert Sitwell’s strategic plans. It seemed difficult to settle amicably!

“No matter!”

Lord North, with closed eyes and a composed expression, spoke softly, “I have my measures.”

Just as he did when facing Knox and the others before Sean.

“But…”

The three elders from the Buddha Academy wanted to persuade further, but Lord North did not give them the chance to speak. Opening his eyes, he gestured, “Stop the car!”

“I will go in alone. You all go back to the academy to rest!”

At this point, the luxury car had already arrived at the southern gate of the North Kingdom’s imperial city. Guards stood watch at the gate.

“Dean!”

The Buddha Academy elder, responsible for driving, halted the car but was unwilling to leave, expressing his concern, “At that time, the situation was dire and greatly unfavorable to our North Kingdom. Your decision was made out of necessity. It’s already commendable that you brought back the remaining hundreds of thousands of North Kingdom soldiers alive. If the emperor holds you accountable, we can explain on your behalf and share the blame!”

However, Lord North shook his head.

“Go back!”

“The decision I made alone does not require you to share the blame for me.”

With that said, Lord North got out of the car and walked into the heart of the imperial city alone. His steps seemed slow, yet with each stride, he covered tens of meters. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the view of the three elders from the Buddha Academy.

The three exchanged a glance, their brows furrowed in silence. They tacitly chose not to follow him inside, nor did they leave. Instead, they sat quietly in the luxury car, attentively monitoring the situation within the imperial city.

Since Lord North did not permit them to enter, they would wait here for Lord North to come out…

Inside the imperial city, resplendent palaces and buildings stood, with groups of dark energy soldiers patrolling in rotation. Every five steps, there was a post; every ten steps, a sentry. Upon seeing Lord North’s arrival, they all saluted in unison.

Lord North walked straight towards the Temple of Heavenly Retribution!

The Temple of Heavenly Retribution was the main hall of the North Kingdom’s imperial city, equivalent to the Hall of Throne in the Shirine Empire’s imperial city. It served as the center and symbol of the entire imperial city, built with magnificent grandeur.

At this moment, in front of the grand hall of the Temple of Heavenly Retribution, stood a digne and noble figure, his hands clasped behind his back. This person, tall and imposing at nearly six and a half feet, adorned in a golden embroidered dragon robe, stood alone, exuding a daunting and awe-inspiring presence!

Unyielding and formidable!

This person was none other than the ruler of the North Kingdom, Albert Sitwell!

While Lord North, nearing a century in age, faced Albert Sitwell, who was nearly two decades his junior, the latter, with silver streaks adorning his temples, bore a countenance as grim as the deep furrows etched upon his face!

The moment Lord North’s figure appeared within Albert Sitwell’s view, Albert Sitwell’s pupils contracted sharply. It seemed as though two chilling and piercing glints shot out from his eyes, and the suppressed rage within him seemed to surge forth completely upon Lord North’s arrival.

“Albert!”

Lord North stood on the plaza in front of the Temple of Heavenly Retribution, raised his head, and spoke softly, meeting Albert Sitwell’s gaze across the tiers of steps, “I am ashamed to return without success, unable to fulfill your wishes.”
