Chapter 116
“Please, God of War, spare him. He didn’t mean to disrespect you,” Lillian pleaded.
Before Yale could respond, Lionel Interjected sharply, “Lillian, remember who you a
o you are. You’re my fiancée How can you demean yourself by begging for another man’s life?
“That loser Sebastian dared to sit on my godfather’s throne. Now that my godfather has returned, he still acts so brazenly! Killing him several times wouldn’t be enough punishment.”
“The seat doesn’t have his name on it, so why can’t I sit here? Sebastian retorted with a smirk.
Lionel was about to rebuke him when Yale suddenly shouted, “Shut up!”
“Did you hear that? My godfather told you to shut up!” Lionel sneered.
“I told you to shut up!” Yale roared, his slap sending Lionel reeling with its force.
He was furious. He had thought Lionel had gained favor with the Supreme One, which was why he had agreed to adopt him as his godson, hoping to curry favor with the Supreme
One himself.
But it was clear this wasn’t the case.
Lionel hadn’t recognized the Supreme One at all, let alone gained his favor. Outrageously, Lionel was even engaged to the Supreme One’s woman!
Overcome with rage, Yale wanted nothing more than to strike Lionel dead on the spot.
“Why are you hitting me again, godfather? Lionel asked, his voice devoid of anger. He still felt admiration toward Yale, despite his teeth being knocked loose.
“Don’t call me godfather, I never accepted you as my godson,” Yale snapped
“Godfather. I mean, God of War, what have 1 done wrong?” Lionel asked cautiously, trying to understand
Yale’s:
‘s rage boiled over. He lacked Lionel to the ground.
“You deceived me, and I want to kill you!”
Still unsatisfied, he kicked Lionel repeatedly
Lionel cried out, the pain so intense he felt as though his bones were breaking.
The onlookers were shocked, this brutal display was entirely unexpected.
Despite Sebastian’s blatant disrespect toward the God of War, it was Lionel, whom Yale had once considered adopting as his godsun, who was now suffering Yale’s wrath.
The crowd was left bewildered by the turn of events.
Grimacing in agony, Lionel knelt and said between sobs, “God of War, Thave never Eed to you.”
“You dare le again!” Yale roared. “You claimed to have the Supreme One’s favor. Is that not deceit?”
Sweating profusely, Lionel insisted, “Please hear me out, God of War. I’ve never met the Supreme One, but being appointed head of the project department at Phoenix Corporation must mean some
recognition.”
“A mere department head means nothing to the Supreme One,” Yale retorted sharply.
“God of War, I didn’t intend to deceive you. Please, spare my life. I won’t make such claims again,” Lionel pleaded repeatedly, his face drained of color.
Yale was tempted to end Lionel’s life.
However, Sebastian hadn’t spoken yet.
He turned, seeking guidance.
Through a secretive whisper, Sebastian commanded, “All but Lillian, kneel here until nightfall.”
Yale echoed loudly, “Everyone lancels here until nightfall”
Though confused, no one dared to question or disobey the command.
As Lillian started to kneel, Yale quickly interjected, “Ms. Smith, you may stand.”
She looked up, surprised and bewildered.
“This is not your concern for now. You may leave,” Sebastian said dismissively to Yale.
Yale nodded slightly, took a few steps back, and then led his followers away.
Gabriel shot Sebastian a glare and muttered under his breath as he left.
