The Ex-Husband's Revenge

"Congratulations on your return, Eurasia's God of War!"

At that moment, the royal carriage and its entourage had come to a stop.

The moment Nathan stepped out in his black military boots, the War Gods present erupted in triumphant cheers.

Smiling slightly, Nathan acknowledged them with a gentle nod.

Meanwhile, Eugene IV, followed by other leaders of the Curia, came forward to receive him.

With his hands outstretched, he greeted Nathan in an ecstatic tone, "Haha, Mr. Cross, you have returned to us a hero!"

After giving Eugene IV a cordial hug, Nathan replied with a smile, "I'm flattered, Pope Eugene."

Eugene IV spoke in a loud voice on purpose. "You deserve every bit of the honor. Everyone knows how difficult it was to infiltrate the werewolves' territory and kill Raytor. By returning in triumph after accomplishing such a feat, you have proven your strength to all. Now that you have won your bet against Mr. Welz, he should hand you the position of commander-in-chief."

Eugene IV's words sent a shockwave through the crowd.

No one expected him to bring up the bet as the first order of business.

What came as a greater shock was his brazen declaration of support for Nathan to depose Wolfric as the commander-in-chief.

Nevertheless, no one could blame him for his decision.

After Max's attack on Hepburn, Ariarica disregarded the Curia's protests and chose to ignore the matter. Relations between Ariarica and the Curia soured ever since. Furthermore, when Eugene IV was nominated for the position of commander-in-chief, Wolfric was the first to object, putting a stop to the former's ambitions. Consequently, Eugene IV was now returning the favor.

Didn't you prevent me from becoming commander-in-chief? I'm going to take you down as revenge.

Other than venting his dissatisfaction with Wolfric, Eugene IV had another reason for doing so.

Given his close relationship with Nathan, it would be more beneficial for the Curia to have Nathan as the commander-in-chief compared to Wolfric.

Therefore, he had no qualms about raising the issue and supporting Nathan's bid for the position.

His words subsequently sparked a debate among the War Gods.

Soon, everyone's gazes fell upon Wolfric, who gave Eugene IV a cold stare.

Amidst the tense atmosphere, Eiken suddenly came forward and spoke.

"Pope Eugene, this is where you have gotten it wrong. Did you really think that Mr. Welz's bet with Nathan

Sathan's

was serious? Let me be honest with you. It was nothing more than Mr. Welz's plan of goading Nathan into killing Raytor. Reality has clearly show how much foresight Mr. Welz has. After being provoked, fighting ability increased so dramatically that he was able to kill the Alpha Wolf, Raytor. Clearly, his strategic genius is a cut above everyone else! Pope Eugene, don't you think it's too much for you to demand that Mr. Welz step down when it's you who didn't understand his grand plan?"

The crowd gasped in response.

Given that everyone present was an elite in their own right, they could clearly see through the nonsense Eiken was spewing.

In spite of that, they were still flabbergasted at how Eiken had twisted the facts in such an outlandish manner.

He's utterly shameless! I can't believe someone as shameless as Eiken exists in this world!

Even Eugene IV was blown away by

Nonetheless, Nathan was still a sea

of calm as he held the furious Eugene TV back. With an

indiscernible smile, he stared at Eiken. "Are you saying that I should

thank him instead?"

Eiken replied smugly, "You got that

right. If you have any good sense you shouldn't bring up the bet anymore. Instead, you should be expressing your gratitude to Mr. Welz."

Nathan let out a chuckle. "I've seen

many shameless characters in my life, but you outdo them all. Eiken, you're a lapdog, true and true!" What? Lapdog?

Shocked by Nathan's snide remarks, Eiken instantly turned red in anger.
