God Of War Dad

After Maclean Lyons left, only Sean was left in the room. Although the chances of defeating Ashby were high, Sean was deeply worried, unable to feel the least bit elated.

King Ron was just too cunning!

Terrifyingly so!

If it hadn’t been for the trip to the mountains, and learning some unknown secrets from Lilies Archer, Sean would probably still be in the dark, a pawn of King Ron’s, risking his life for him.

And now the problem was, even though Sean knew King Ron’s scheme, he couldn’t find a way to solve the problem!

Cecilia and Phyllis were far away in the capital!

Effectively in King Ron’s hands!

Sean was powerless to help!

If he were to rush back to the capital overnight, a single phone call from Fort South could put Cecilia and Phyllis at a tremendous risk. Time was completely against Sean!

Moreover, what could he do even if he went back?

With Sean’s current strength, he was still no match for King Ron!!!

So, Sean’s only option was to join forces with Lilies Archer, taking huge risks, for that glimmer of hope!

After hesitating for a moment, Sean wanted to call Spirit Wolf to inquire about the situation in the capital. But just as he picked up his phone, it rang. Looking down, it was a call from Tim Lewis!

“Hello?”

Sean’s pupils shrunk, and he quickly answered!

“Mr. Mason!”

Tim Lewis’s voice came from the other end of the phone, his voice very low, as if he was worried about being overheard: “Can you talk now?”

“Yes!”

Sean felt a sinking feeling, a sense of foreboding. He said, “Just speak up!”

“Well…”

Tim Lewis carefully began, “After you left, things seemed a bit off!”

“How so?”

Sean asked.

Tim Lewis said, “The King has sent fifty royal guards to protect the Palace of Wolf!”

“Supposedly to protect!”

“But to me, it feels more like surveillance!”

“Furthermore!”

“You and Miss Moore are getting married on May 20th, so many people are in and out of the mansion, supposedly to prepare for the wedding!”

“Anyone leaving the mansion is followed!”

“Those of us from several families who frequently visit the Palace of Wolf, even when we return to our own homes, I always feel as if eyes are watching me from the shadows…”

After saying all this, Tim Lewis’s voice was cautious, as soft as a mosquito. Obviously, he had managed to evade others before calling Sean, fearful of being discovered!

Sean’s heart!

It plummeted in an instant!!!

King Ron!

What a ruthless man!

The supposed Palace of Wolf was indeed a huge pitfall. Sean had just left the capital in the morning and now, the Palace of Wolf had become a prison for people like Cecilia and Phyllis!!!

Inside the Palace of Wolf!

There were all Sean’s family and friends!!!

The intention of King Ron was clear. If Sean remained ignorant throughout the trip to Fort South, playing the fool as his pawn, then he probably wouldn’t harm Cecilia and Phyllis until Sean returned to the capital!

Otherwise!

Once Sean was alerted and there was movement in Fort South!

Then!

The safety, even the lives, of people like Cecilia and Phyllis would immediately become King Ron’s leverage against Sean!!!

Now!

Even if Sean wanted Cecilia and Phyllis and the others to evacuate early, it was too late!

In fact!

He couldn’t even casually call Cecilia and the others!

Any action that might make King Ron feel something was off could be a reason for him to act against Cecilia and Phyllis and the others!!!

So!

Sean could only pretend!

Pretend that he knew nothing, still being kept in the dark like a fool, manipulated by King Ron!

Only when he returned to the capital!

Would there be a glimmer of hope!!!

So!

Sean took a deep breath and said solemnly, “Remember, you only have one task, and that is to protect my wife and child at all costs!”

“As for other matters!”

“I am here!”

“You should act as if you know nothing, have found nothing, should say nothing, do nothing, even if in a few days there is some unfavorable news about me, you must remain calm!”

“Remember!”

“I have my own plans and arrangements, enough to deal with any unexpected situations. When the time comes, if they want to arrest someone, you should not resist in vain!”

“Safety comes first!”

“Wait for me to return!!!”

When he spoke these words, Sean’s voice was not loud, but it was unprecedentedly serious!

Unprecedentedly cold!

Chilling to the bone!

Even though they were speaking through the phone, separated by a thousand miles, Tim Lewis at the other end of the phone could deeply feel that bone-piercing chill, and naturally realized from Sean’s words, just how severe this matter was!!!

Tim Lewis was not a fool!

Moreover!

He was a genuine old fox!

If it hadn’t been for the black pill that Sean had fed him at the Jade Restaurant, which made him dependent on the antidote in Sean’s hands, he would probably have chosen to cut ties with Sean and the Palace of Wolf to protect himself as soon as he realized the danger, instead of calling Sean!

Therefore!

Sean telling him not to do anything actually made him secretly relieved!

“Please rest assured, Mr Mason!”

Tim Lewis vowed loyalty: “I will do my utmost, even if it means risking my own life, to ensure the safety of your wife and child!”

“Whoever dares to harm them!”

“Unless!”

“They step over my, Tim Lewis’s corpse!!!”

Such words!

It’s good to hear, but Sean naturally didn’t take it seriously!

After hanging up the phone with Tim Lewis, Sean walked to the window, looked up at the cold moon in the night sky, and silently prayed in his heart: Honey, Phyllis, you must be okay, wait for me to return!

Surely!!!

Tonight!

Sleep will be hard to come by!!!

The next morning, Ashby, following his own plan, sent someone to the area where the barbarians lived, and sent a message to Gloydius and the other five tiger generals, expressing his intention to negotiate peace!

Gloydius and the others of course agreed readily!

The various forces had been playing against each other, deceiving each other, and had already reached an understanding in secret. The formalities were just a matter of following a set process, and naturally went very smoothly!

Three days later!

The two sides agreed that on the 15th of May, three days later, the two armies would set out, and within the buffer zone of more than ten miles between Fort South and the mountain, they would conduct face-to-face peace talks!

Exchange each other’s conditions!

Sign relevant agreements!

And during these three days, a huge negotiation platform was built in advance in that area, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people!

On May 15th!

As the sun gradually rose from the east, staining half of the sky red like blood, the 100, 000-strong army within Fort South had assembled outside the city, boundless, stretching as far as the eye could see!

It really was like a sea of people!!!

The soldiers were in armor!

Armed with swords and guns!

And at the edge of the mountain ten miles away, 50, 000 barbarian troops and countless poisonous insects and beasts were also ready, with an imposing momentum. Looking from a distance, it seemed as if a vast human and beast carpet covered the mountain, the grand scene was heart-shaking!

Sean, Ashby, and Maclean Lyons, the three of them, stood at the very front of the 100, 000-strong army!

“Depart!”

As the army’s commander, Sean, a Bright Realm practitioner, saw that the time had come, and with a single command, his resonant voice, carried by the majestic bright energy, sounded like a thunderclap, instantly spreading across the four corners!

After he finished speaking!

Sean, leading the way, headed for the negotiation platform that had been set up in advance!

100, 000 troops!

Followed closely behind!!!
