God Of War Dad

The King of Night shook his head after a hesitation. “You can’t do anything to the Mason family,” he said.

“At least, not for the time being.”

His voice was deep, and his tone was determined and affirmative.

“That’s surprising.”

Sean lifted an eyebrow, and his heart performed a somersault. He looked annoyed and didn’t expect the King of Night to stop him. “Why not?” Sean asked.

“I don’t need to explain,” the King of Night answered as if Sean should unconditionally obey him.

Sean asked again, feeling reluctant, “What if I insist on getting a reason?”

“You don’t need to know.”

“Don’t I?”

The two asked each other repeatedly. The scene was weird and hilarious, but no specific information was told.

Listening to them aside, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf were startled in fear.

Sean had a deep grudge against the Mason family, and they both knew it.

Sean couldn’t forget it and give up on his revenge.

However, the King of Night was trying to do it.

Sean and the King of Night tried to convince each other. The harmony in the room vanished and changed to be weird and stressed.

“I understand how you feel.”

After 10 seconds, the King of Night looked into Sean’s determined eyes and said, “I’m curious what you’ll do if I don’t tell you the reason.”

“Will you disobey me, or will you fight against me?”

When he mentioned the fight, he emphasized his words. Evidently, it was a fight instead of the friendly competition he proposed earlier.

Sean gazed at his mask, shaking his head. “I also don’t know.”

“I’m afraid… I can answer your question only after trying.”

He didn’t directly reply to the King of Night, implying he wouldn’t mind if the King of Night wished to try.

In fact, Sean didn’t know what he would do.

The hatred had been repressed in the bottom of his heart for five years. The King of Night wished him to give it up with just a few words. Sean wouldn’t accept it.

He needed a reason to convince himself.

Otherwise, he would disappoint his late mother, Jayden, and the Wright family.

Sean would disagree with the King of Night unless he had to.

Suddenly, the King of Night turned to stand with his back to the other three. He strode towards the window and asked, “What if it’s a military order?”

“Do you still need a reason?”

In the army, soldiers must obey the military order unconditionally.

Therefore, no reason was needed. Although Sean was confused, he still had to obey it.

“No, I don’t.”

Sean’s pupils constricted, and he shook his head without hesitation.

“I won’t ask for a reason as it’s a military order,” he added, “I must see the written command in black and white and know who has given the command in person.”

“I cannot only obey a word of command from anyone, My Lord.”

A word of command was different from a military order.

Five years ago, the King of Night left after sending Sean and others into the army. Sean and others had never seen him in the military and didn’t know his identity or his military rank.

They even didn’t know if he served in the military.

They knew nothing about him.

Sean wasn’t a fool. The King of Night could insist it was a military order, but he wouldn’t easily believe him.

Even though he had helped Sean and changed his destiny, Sean wouldn’t be careless about such a matter. After all, military orders couldn’t be disobeyed. Once it was incorrect, the consequences would be out of imagination.

“Do you suspect me?”

The King of Night’s voice became colder.

“Yes,” Sean answered immediately without giving up. He added affirmatively, “Whether the military order is true or false, it’s critical. I don’t trust anyone without seeing it in black and white.”

“You are not an exception, My Lord.”

Sean insisted on the written form of the military order.

Without it, he wouldn’t trust the King of Night.

Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf bowed their heads down, their hearts shivering. ‘No wonder Mr. Mason is our leader. He’s indeed brave.’

“Bravo! Bravo!”

The King of Night nodded hard. Suddenly, he chuckled, “No wonder you’ve become the famous General Wolf of the North. You do have the guts.”

“Your combating skills have been rapidly developed, and so has your willpower.”

“You are qualified to be a commander.”

Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf exchanged glances, breathing a sigh of relief. They wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads, realizing the King of Night was testing Sean.

Sean was also slightly shocked.

The King of Night continued, “The reason is simple. I don’t mind telling you as you’re so eager to know.”

“It’s your own fault.”

“After the battles over the Kats River and Hilshire, the Mason family suffered a big loss. They also broke up with the Porter family. The old Mrs. Mason couldn’t keep calm any longer and finished her close-door training earlier than planned.”

“The situation in the capital nowadays is weird and unpredictable. You’ve just arrived, so you must be cautious while doing everything. You can’t be as reckless and bold as in Hilshire or Crane Town. You must think twice before doing anything to the influential families instead of destroying them simply.”

The King of Night sighed and added, “The Padishah has been in closed-door training for a few years, so he seldom appears in public. Among his nine sons, his oldest, fifth, and ninth sons have passed away. Only six sons are still alive.”

“Among the six sons of the Padishah, the crown prince and the sixth prince have become two leaders with followers. They reinforced checks and balances while competing with each other. They’ve been secretly developing their own forces, ready to become the next emperor.”

“The Porter family is loyal to the sixth Prince, Prince Roscoe.”

“The Mason family used to be neutral before without participating in their competitions. Five years ago, you had an arranged marriage with Luna Porter because Prince Roscoe wished to make the Mason family take his side by this chance. However, something unexpected happened, and his wish didn’t come true.”

“Now, the Mason family had lost many martial artists and became your sworn enemy. Besides, they broke up with the Porter family. If they continued to be neutral, other foes would destroy them shortly after.”

“Therefore, the Mason family has been cornered, so they wish to find a backer. The old Mrs. Mason repeatedly socializes on different occasions. According to a reliable source of information, she has sought refuge with the crown prince, Prince Ashby.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“In other words, if you want vengeance against the Mason family, you’ll become Prince Ashby’s enemy.”

His words were like a bombshell to Sean.

The King of Night briefed the three on the current situation in the capital and answered Sean’s question within less than 20 minutes.

Sean and others finally understood why the King of Night wanted to stop them.

After realizing the threat, the Old Mrs. Mason, Nora Wakefield, made a quick decision and took the crown prince’s side.

The crown prince was too powerful for Sean to do anything.

If not cautious, Sean would be in trouble and even lose his life.

The King of Night’s words made Sean solemn.

He asked, “My Lord, you said the Masons had sought refuge with the crown prince, and I couldn’t do anything to them. Does that mean I can never take revenge on them unless they are dumped by the crown prince?”

“Besides, once the crown prince becomes the next emperor, the Mason family will be better developed. Does that mean I’ll only sit and wait for my death without being able to do anything by then?”

Nora acted too quickly.

It had been only ten days after the Mason family failed the battle in Hilshire. However, she had found the crown prince as her family’s backer, which was indeed powerful.

If Sean recklessly took revenge on the Mason family, he would annoy the crown prince. The crown princes would think the Masons’ loss was a slap in his face.

Therefore, the consequences would be out of imagination.

“So,” the King of Night said solemnly, “You only have two options now.”

“You can turn the Mason family’s trick to your own use. You can also work for the crown prince. He should rely on you a lot due to your competence. As long as you are outstanding, the crown prince will treasure you more than the Mason family.”

“To make you royal, he will probably use the Mason family as a bait for you. By then, the Mason family will go to the dogs, and you don’t need to do anything personally.”

In terms of potential, Sean believed he had a brighter future than the Mason family did.

The King of Night’s idea was brilliant.

Sean asked, “How about the second option?”

The King of Night sneered, “You’ve thought about it. Why are you still asking me?”

“The Mason family’s backer is the crown prince, so you can stop him.”

“The Mason family can be destroyed, and the crown prince can also be changed.”

The King of Night’s words were indeed shocking. Sean, Pupil Wolf, and Spirit Wolf couldn’t believe their ears.

‘What? Change the crown prince?’
