God Of War Dad

On this night, the headquarters were still bustling with activity. Leaving aside the fact that Sean’s escapade had caused numerous discussions among people, even among the disciples from different branches and the headquarters, there were many who knew each other. It was rare for them to meet, so naturally, there was an endless amount of gossip to be shared.

After all, a large portion of the headquarters’ disciples had stood out in the previous All-Institute Martial Arts Assembly, which selected the cream of the crop from the eighteen branches. Publicly, the branches were considered their alma maters, and privately, the interactions between disciples strengthened the relationships between their families.

Sean and Betty Jefferson had gone to sleep early, just like they did in the Plainwater Town branch. Sean slept alone in the bedroom, while Betty Jefferson slept alone in the living room. Even though they were alone together in a room, they kept their distance and did not cross any boundaries.

During this slumber, Sean slept soundly, while Betty Jefferson tossed and turned, unable to sleep a wink. By the latter half of the night, she decided not to sleep anymore, sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, closing her eyes to cultivate. Firstly, this helped her clear her mind of distracting thoughts. Secondly, the hurtful words Sean uttered earlier made her realize that her talent was insufficient, and she was not worthy of someone like Sean. Therefore, she needed to work even harder to make up for her shortcomings.

And so, early the next morning, as the sun rose, when Sean walked out of the bedroom and saw Betty Jefferson still in cultivation, he couldn’t help but pause and furrow his brows, asking, “Your qualification to participate in the tournament has been revoked. Just sit back and enjoy the show. There’s no need to push yourself so hard, right?”

Indeed, her qualification had been revoked. Previously, in the Plainwater Town branch, they had chosen six individuals from the disciples in the early, middle, and late stages of Dark Energy for this All-Institute Martial Arts Assembly. Betty Jefferson was one of them. However, Sean had dazzled everyone with his exceptional performance, earning a spot for himself, which meant one person had to step down. Since Betty Jefferson was now considered Sean’s woman, he directly took her place.

Not only did he replace her in the middle stage of Dark Energy, but to fulfill his boast of capturing the top positions in both the middle and late stages of Dark Energy to obtain the Confluence Pill, the Plainwater Town branch’s list of participants was altered, and one person in the late stage of Dark Energy was also removed, leaving only five spots.

“I couldn’t fall asleep!” Betty Jefferson opened her eyes, met Sean’s gaze, and sadly murmured, “We’re just pretending to be a couple, with a casual romantic encounter. With your talent and strength, after the All-Institute Martial Arts Assembly, you will undoubtedly be invited by the headquarters to join the capital. Maybe, just like Brother Romanov, the Emperor will take you as his disciple. Your future is limitless. As for me…”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

At this point, Betty Jefferson’s expression grew even more grim, shaking her head and saying, “I still have my own path to walk. Of course, I need to work hard and not slack off for a moment!”

Having pretended as a couple and a master-servant for so long, screaming loudly almost every night, gaining infamy, Betty Jefferson found it hard to imagine what would happen once Sean left her. How could she face the judgmental gazes of others? Where would she find a place for herself?

Strength. Only with greater strength could she find a sense of security.

“Don’t worry!” Sean understood Betty Jefferson’s worries and predicament. He said, “I’m not that irresponsible of a man. Since I’ve dragged you into this, I won’t abandon you. Heh, although I’m not interested in your body, who knows? Maybe one day, when I’m in a good mood, I’ll take you as a disciple or something…”

Upon hearing this, Betty Jefferson’s heart skipped a beat, her body trembling, and her face filled with surprise. What the hell? I’m in the middle stage of Dark Energy, just like you. By rank, you should be my junior. And with just one sentence, your seniority will skyrocket, and you’ll become my master? Is this for real? How dare you consider my seniority…?

Yet, before Betty Jefferson could accept or reject him, a commotion suddenly echoed from outside. Both Sean and Betty Jefferson were startled.

“You keep cultivating, I’ll go check!” Sean walked out, went downstairs, and discovered that almost everyone from the Plainwater Town branch, headed by Hastiff, had gathered downstairs. When Hastiff saw Sean, his expression slightly changed, and he asked, “Mr. Great, why are you coming out?”

Sean asked curiously, “What’s happening outside?”

Hastiff smiled and explained, “I heard that the Royal Tutor has some business seeking an audience with His Majesty the Emperor. However, although His Majesty did not grant the audience, the Crown Prince personally came to the academy to meet the Royal Tutor. The Lords and Instructors from the headquarters have already gone out to welcome them.”

“Oh?” Sean furrowed his brows and said, “The Crown Prince of the North Kingdom? Donald Sitwell?”

Sean naturally had some knowledge about the North Kingdom’s royal family, having fought alongside their army in the northern battlefield for many years. He knew that the current Crown Prince of the North Kingdom was named Donald Sitwell, a middle-aged man in his forties who had just reached the Complete Stage. Although his talent paled in comparison to Romanov, he was still an exceptional individual.

“Shh!” Hastiff’s smile froze on his face, startled by Sean’s words. He quickly reminded him, “This is the capital of the North Kingdom, under the Emperor’s feet. Mr. Great, please remember to show enough respect when facing the royal family. The Crown Prince’s name should not be mentioned casually. If it is used carelessly and taken advantage of by someone with ill intentions, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

The wrath of the Emperor was like thunder, unstoppable and devastating.

Little did Hastiff know that almost all the disciples from the Plainwater Town branch had gathered, except for himself. He was afraid that Sean’s arrogant and disrespectful character, as well as his disregard for others, would lead him to say something shocking and offend the Crown Prince, the members of the Harris and Carter families. At least, if Sean offended them, it wouldn’t affect the Plainwater Town branch. However, the same couldn’t be said for the royal family. Offending one of them would have far-reaching consequences.

“I understand,” Sean nodded nonchalantly, thinking to himself, Crown Prince? Is he supposed to be amazing? There’s nothing impressive about him. I’ve already killed one in the Shirine Empire, let alone a Crown Prince. I’ve even killed the Emperor himself!

Quickly, Donald Sitwell, accompanied by the Lords and Instructors from the headquarters, walked past the building where Sean was located and headed straight for the backyard of the academy.

There was where the national tutor of the North Kingdom resided.

Once they were out of sight, Sean retracted his gaze and curiously asked, “What’s going on with the national tutor of the North Kingdom? Is it true that he’s been confined by the royal family?”

Hastiff’s face turned dark, and he coughed lightly, gesturing for Sean to follow him, “Mr. Great, let’s continue this conversation during breakfast. We can eat and talk at the same time.”

In fact, talking about the national tutor of the North Kingdom was considered a taboo. It was not supposed to be discussed, especially in the headquarters, the capital. Therefore, Hastiff originally wanted to follow and observe the situation. However, now he couldn’t care less about that. The immediate priority was to stabilize the “Great Ape” to prevent any trouble.

The group arrived at the first-floor dining hall. Hastiff lowered his voice and briefly explained the situation regarding the national tutor of the North Kingdom to Sean. It was similar to the rumors. The national tutor had suffered a defeat in the previous battle between the Shirine Empire and the North Kingdom, and it was highly possible that he had deliberately let General Wolf Sean win, leading to his responsibility and anger towards the Emperor, Albert Sitwell. As a result, his promising future was ruined.

This notion of deliberately losing infuriated Sean. He was the one who fought in that battle and no one knew it better than him. He and the national tutor of the North Kingdom had fought fiercely, with neither gaining the upper hand in those hundred moves, ultimately ending in a draw!

To say that the national tutor had deliberately lost in a fight of that level was something that Sean simply could not believe!

Moreover, to claim that the national tutor had deliberately thrown the fight was essentially saying that Sean wasn’t the national tutor’s match. It was clear that they were looking down on Sean!

Damn it! They truly tried to deceive themselves!

“Principal!

“They are here, please!”

Before Hastiff could say anything to Sean, a hurried Kazimir ran over, glanced at Sean, and spoke to Hastiff, “Your Highness the Crown Prince has left the national tutor and said that he wants to meet Mr. Great!”

“What?” Hastiff spewed out the food in his mouth, stood up abruptly, his disbelief evident, and asked, “Is that true?”

“Absolutely!” Kazimir nodded. “They are about to arrive!”

Hastiff was sweating. Damn it! It seems that trouble will come as long as there is fear. He tried to hide and control Sean, afraid that he would attract the attention of Donald Sitwell and cause trouble. But now, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as he couldn’t avoid it anymore. Donald Sitwell had actually personally requested to meet Great Ape!

On the other hand, upon hearing this news, Sean remained as calm as a mountain. His expression did not show any nervousness.

“Your Highness!”

“This way, please!”

Before Hastiff could say anything to Sean, footsteps could be heard outside the door, followed by the voice of Pastiff!

The next moment, a group of people walked into the dining hall, with the Crown Prince of the North Kingdom, Donald Sitwell, at the forefront, donning a rust-colored dragon robe, emanating an awe-inspiring aura!
