God Of War Dad

Was this really happening?

Inside Prince Ashby’s Eastern Palace, right in front of Prince Ashby, Prince William, and Prince Green, Fergus Archer was about to snap Old Mrs. Mason’s neck?

Including Prince Ashby himself!

Everyone was shocked by Fergus Archer’s sudden madness!

Their faces turned pale!

They looked at each other in disbelief!

However!

No one dared to intervene!

The Lord Archer of South Forest was notorious, fierce like a tiger, wild like a wolf, killing without blinking an eye, treating lives like ants. Although they met Fergus Archer for the first time today, they didn’t doubt that he would do anything he wanted!

After all!

Even when facing Padishah, Fergus Archer would never step down!

“Prince Ashby, sir…”

“Your Highness…”

Old Mrs. Mason struggled desperately to no avail. Her heart sank to the bottom, and she could only regard Prince Ashby as her last straw, managing to say with great difficulty: “Save… save me…”

Prince Ashby hesitated!

However, the reason for Prince Ashby’s hesitation was not whether to plead for Old Mrs. Mason but because Fergus Archer’s actions seemed to have ulterior motives!

With Fergus Archer’s strength, if he really wanted Old Mrs. Mason’s life, it would only take a second!

By now, Old Mrs. Mason would have been a corpse!

What was his intention?

It was clearly a demonstration for Prince Ashby!

He was threating them!

According to the previous agreement between Fergus Archer and Prince Ashby, Fergus Archer would assist Prince Ashby in securing the Eastern Palace and vying for the throne, while Prince Ashby would help Fergus Archer break through the bottleneck and advance to the Bright Realm!Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

But now!

Fergus Archer had personally eliminated Sean for Prince Ashby. The Dragon Cauldron had not yet been obtained, and he had lost the Black-Scaled Python. How could he bear it?

This was Prince Ashby’s Eastern Palace!

Fergus Archer couldn’t directly confront Prince Ashby, so he had to take it out on Old Mrs. Mason!

He was waiting!

Holding Old Mrs. Mason’s neck, waiting for Prince Ashby to give an explanation!

Seeing Prince Ashby’s indecision, Fergus Archer quickly lost patience, stared at Old Mrs. Mason coldly, and said: “After your death, I will pay a visit to the Mason family and annihilate them all!”

“Let all the members of the Mason family be buried with you!”

As soon as the words fell!

He was about to end Old Mrs. Mason’s life!

“Wait!”

At the critical moment, Prince Ashby couldn’t help but speak up: “I know that the Black-Scaled Python is very important to the Lord Archer!”

“So…”

After thinking for a moment, Prince Ashby said solemnly: “Let’s do this!”

“As soon as they find the bodies of the Black-Scaled Python and Sean at the bottom of the cliff, I will enter the Imperial Palace immediately, find a way to bring out the Dragon Cauldron, and let the Lord Archer refine it on the spot to break through to the Bright Realm!”

When he said these words, Prince Ashby’s face was extremely livid!

Bright Realm!

To be honest, Prince Ashby didn’t want to help Fergus Archer break through to the Bright Realm so soon. The reason was simple: Fergus Archer, like Sean, was arrogant and difficult to control!

Once Fergus Archer truly stepped into the Bright Realm!

Then Prince Ashby would lose his value to Fergus Archer. By that time, with Fergus Archer’s character, he would definitely not be willing to be controlled by Prince Ashby any longer!

Assisting Prince Ashby in ascending the throne???

Haha!

Fergus Archer, with his wild ambition, would probably try to control Prince Ashby and covet the supreme position in the Imperial Palace!

After all, the Bright Realm itself is the realm of emperors!

That’s why Prince Ashby’s previous strategy was to stall, to use the Dragon Cauldron as bait, dangling it in front of Fergus Archer to make him work for him until his own strength was strong enough, and Fergus Archer lost his usefulness. Then he would tear up the covenant and find an opportunity to eliminate Fergus Archer!

So, the cooperation between Prince Ashby and Fergus Archer was full of hidden schemes and mutual exploitation from the very beginning. There was no trust to speak of, and it was all about who could outwit the other and achieve their goals first!

Just like Prince Roscoe treated Sean!

Now that Sean was dead, it was good news for Prince Ashby!

But the Black-Scaled Python was also dead!

It was undoubtedly bad news!

He couldn’t stall any longer!

“Are you serious?” Fergus Archer asked, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Prince Ashby with suspicion.

“Yes, I am serious,” Prince Ashby replied, looking directly into Fergus Archer’s eyes. “As long as you release Old Mrs. Mason and promise not to harm the Mason family, I will help you break through to the Bright Realm.”

Fergus Archer hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons. Finally, he loosened his grip on Old Mrs. Mason’s neck and pushed her towards Prince Ashby. “Deal,” he said, his voice cold and firm.

Prince Ashby let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he had managed to temporarily appease Fergus Archer. He helped Old Mrs. Mason stand up, and she bowed to him in gratitude, tears streaming down her face.

“Thank you, Your Highness,” she whispered, her voice hoarse from the near-death experience.

Prince Ashby waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t mention it,” he said, his voice cold. “Now, go and gather your people, Old Mrs. Mason. I will need your assistance in the Imperial Palace.”

Old Mrs. Mason nodded her head and quickly left the room, her heart still pounding from the terrifying encounter.

Prince Ashby turned to Prince William and Prince Green, who had been watching the events unfold with wide eyes. “Both of you, listen carefully,” he said, his voice stern. “We must act quickly. I want you to gather our most loyal and capable men. We will enter the Imperial Palace tonight and obtain the Dragon Cauldron for Lord Archer.”

Prince William and Prince Green nodded their heads, understanding the urgency of the situation. They quickly left the room to gather their forces, leaving Prince Ashby alone with Fergus Archer.

The two men stared at each other for a moment, each knowing that their alliance was built on shaky ground. Prince Ashby broke the silence first, his voice steady and determined. “Lord Archer, we have a deal. I will help you achieve your goal, and in return, you will help me secure the Eastern Palace and ascend the throne.”

Fergus Archer nodded his head, his eyes filled with determination. “Very well, Prince Ashby. I will hold you to your promise.”

With that, they both left the room, preparing for the upcoming battle and the dangerous game of power that awaited them. Each was determined to outwit the other and achieve their goals, but only time would tell who would come out on top in this game of thrones.

Fergus Archer didn’t hesitate, as if treating Prince Ashby’s East Palace like his own home. He strode towards the main hall without waiting for Prince Ashby to invite him. His two tiger generals followed closely behind, leaving Prince Ashby and the others waiting in the courtyard.

“Bastard!” Prince William stared at Fergus Archer’s retreating figure and gritted his teeth. “Brother, this guy is too arrogant!”

“He doesn’t take us seriously at all!”

“If we help him enter the Bright Realm, it could spell disaster!”

Prince Green also said, “William is right, please think twice, Ashby!”

“Prince Ashby, please reconsider!” The other heads of the capital’s families echoed.

A fierce glint flashed across Prince Ashby’s brow, and he snorted, “Don’t worry, a brute like him is no match for us when it comes to cunning.”

“Oh?” Prince William and Prince Green exchanged a glance, their eyes shining, and asked, “Do you already have a plan in mind?”

“Of course!” Prince Ashby lowered his voice and ordered, “Gather all the Complete Stage fighters and set an ambush near the East Palace. Wait for my command!”

“Prince Roscoe’s people are already in disarray and poses no threat!”

“As long as we find Sean and the corpse of the black-scaled python, when I leave the East Palace and enter the Imperial Palace, you will lead your forces into the mansion and surround Fergus Archer. Try to capture him alive!”

“At that time, we will claim the black-scaled python’s corpse for ourselves, refine it, and use Fergus Archer to control the South Forest. What could stand in our way?”

“On the other hand, if Sean is still alive, or we can’t find the black-scaled python’s corpse, we have no reason to lend him the Dragon Cauldron. We can still use the Dragon Cauldron as bait to make him continue working for us…”

Prince Ashby, being who he was, naturally had extraordinary schemes. While conspiring with Fergus Archer, he had already prepared to deal with him.

“That is wise!”

Prince Ashby’s words immediately reassured everyone.

Catching Fergus Archer alive! If it were somewhere else, capturing a top expert like Fergus Archer, who was on the verge of entering the Bright Realm, would be a dream. However, as it had been said before, this was Prince Ashby’s East Palace!

Unbeknownst to them, not only was the East Palace vast and second only to the Imperial Palace in size, but when it was built, nearly all the halls and pavilions were rigged with traps, including the courtyard where they now stood.

With dozens of Complete Stage cultivators laying siege to Fergus Archer, even with his few companions, escape would be difficult.

Otherwise, how could Prince Ashby dare to let Fergus Archer into the capital and the East Palace?

After making the arrangements, Prince William and Prince Green left the East Palace to gather their forces. As princes, they had to keep their distance in case a fight broke out, lest they be caught in the crossfire.

Prince Ashby, accompanied by Old Mrs. Mason and several heads of families, went to the main hall to wait with Fergus Archer for news from Hill Riverside.

About half an hour later, two jarring phone rings sounded almost simultaneously. Prince Ashby and Fergus Archer exchanged a glance, and without a word, they both took out their phones and looked at the screens, their pupils constricting slightly.

The callers were the people they had left at Hill Riverside.
