God Of War Dad

Boom!

Carl’s words struck Sean like a thunderbolt, echoing in his ears.

This time, Sean was truly shocked and astonished. His heart skipped a beat, his pupils dilated, and his face changed dramatically. In disbelief, he looked at Julia again and thought to himself: To marry such a delicate and beautiful princess to Fergus Archer, a man as strong as an ox and with a brutal, bloodthirsty nature? What a waste!

No wonder!

No wonder Julia harbored deep hatred for the Jefferson family!

No wonder her smile had been bitter, and when mentioning her royal status, she compared her noble position to a caged bird without freedom!

The poor girl!

Most importantly, how could the Padishah in Imperial City have agreed to such a ridiculous proposal and despicable demand?

Had he been kicked in the head by a donkey?

Was Julia really the Padishah’s biological granddaughter?

Sean couldn’t make sense of it.

“It’s all fate; I understand,” Julia said, meeting Sean’s complex gaze with a miserable smile. Her clear eyes shimmered with unshed tears, which she held back, refusing to let them fall in front of them. Her voice choked as she continued, “However!”

“I want those beasts’ lives too!”

In her grief-stricken voice, there was a hint of indomitable rage that she couldn’t hide. The Jefferson family wanted to ruin her, and she wanted to take them down with her!

The young men and women around them obviously knew about this matter beforehand. Although they felt sorrow and regret for Julia, they were powerless. No one dared to disobey the Padishah’s orders!

Julia didn’t dare.

Julia’s father, Prince Adam, didn’t dare.

Even Prince Carl, who had the qualifications to compete for the throne with Prince Ashby, didn’t dare.

Let alone them?

“Bastards!”

However, as a woman herself, Pupil Wolf, who was sitting next to Sean, exploded with anger upon hearing such a thing. She slammed the table and cursed, “Those beasts! They all deserve to go to hell!”

Pupil Wolf’s temper couldn’t be contained.

But she knew very well that with her Early Stage strength, she could only vent her anger. She couldn’t do anything, couldn’t help Julia, and couldn’t change the current situation.

So…

She turned her head and looked at Sean.

Even without speaking, anyone could tell what she meant.

Sean glared at her, pulled her back into her seat, and didn’t immediately express his stance. Instead, he asked, “Your Highness, do you know why the Padishah agreed to Dillard Jefferson’s proposal and issued such an order?”

In Shirine, the Padishah was an unquestionable authority!

Sean couldn’t figure out the true intentions of the Padishah. If he were to intervene rashly and disrupt the situation, he might destroy the Padishah’s plans and bring about consequences he couldn’t bear. In the capital, he had to be cautious in everything he did.

Julia said, “When the order was first issued, my father went to the Imperial City to meet with the Padishah. The Padishah only said three words to my father…”

“For the country!”

Padishah!

Carl, being the Padishah’s grandson, had always referred to the Padishah as “grandfather,” whereas Julia, also his granddaughter, addressed him as “Padishah,” just like Sean.

Although it was just a form of address, it wasn’t difficult to see that Julia harbored resentment not only against Dillard Jefferson and the entire Jefferson family but also against the Padishah.

After all!

He was her own grandfather!

And now!

With the phrase “for the country” and a sudden command, the Padishah heartlessly discarded her as a political tool to stabilize the situation.

If she were to marry a brute like Fergus Archer, she dared not imagine her future life.

Once she went to the South Forest with Fergus Archer, whether she could return alive was a complete unknown!

He was pushing her into a pit of fire!

He was after her life!

“For the country…”

Sean silently repeated these words in his heart, realizing that there truly was no affection to speak of in the royal family.

Everything was for politics!

Julia gazed deeply at Sean and whispered, “Mr. Mason, you killed Gary Jefferson in front of Gerard just now. Although it wasn’t for me, I am still grateful to you.”

“As for the Jefferson family…”

“Even my father doesn’t dare to defy the order for the sake of a caged bird like me and risk seeking justice for me from the Jefferson family.”

“So…”All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I was just asking casually, Mr. Mason. Please don’t take it to heart.”

The Jefferson family was favored by Prince Ashby, and her marriage to Fergus Archer was the Padishah’s command. Their wedding was imminent. If they were to take action against the Jefferson family now, it would not only provoke Prince Ashby’s wrath but also incur the wrath of the Padishah!

The consequences would be too severe!

How could she dare to expect Sean, a man with whom she had only just met, to do something even her father, the esteemed Prince Adam, dared not do?

Sean’s refusal would be normal!

It was reasonable!

Julia’s words undoubtedly gave Sean a good reason to defuse the atmosphere.

The girl was kind-hearted!

Carl also timely stepped forward and advised, “Mr. Mason, the food is getting cold. Let’s eat first.”

“The situation in the capital is extremely complex right now. We must be cautious with every step we take. Regarding Julia’s situation, my father and Prince Adam are discussing countermeasures, hoping to find a way to save Julia before the wedding.”

There was still half a month left until the wedding!

“Mm.”

Sean nodded and said, “If there’s anything I can help with, I will.”

They didn’t mention the Jefferson family again, as if they had truly turned the page on that matter.

“Thank you, Mr. Mason.”

Julia expressed her gratitude, but her gaze dimmed imperceptibly. Although she knew Sean couldn’t possibly take such a great risk for her, she still felt a hint of undeniable disappointment and bitterness when he avoided the topic.

“Boss, this…”

“Eat!”

Pupil Wolf wanted to speak, but Sean interrupted him before he could finish.

After this commotion, everyone’s mood had become heavy, and the celebratory atmosphere from earlier had disappeared. Half an hour later, Sean had drunk quite a bit of alcohol and suddenly stood up, saying, “Please enjoy yourselves, I’m going to the restroom.”

Then he turned and walked away.

He left the rooftop!

Carl and the others didn’t give it much thought, but Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf exchanged glances, sensing something.

They had fought alongside Sean in life-and-death battles on the northern battlefield, and they knew his character all too well!

Even without the incident involving Julia, Sean would never have let the Jefferson family off the hook for Felix Maguire’s death alone!
