“Sheesh! Are you trying to get yourself in trouble?” “It’s good enough to get an entry slot. How many people on earth can get the chance to see the God of War?” “The Chapmans are the host and they too are seated here. They didn’t even complain.” Everyone was grateful to be able to attend the ceremony. After all, the inauguration ceremony should be an internal affair of the military and according to the rules, the ceremony should not invite outsiders. There was no roof above the audience’s seat. All the audience was only seated on the simplest chairs and there was no service of beverage or food. All the attendees in the audience seat were wealthy people who had gotten used to the luxury of life. They had never been in such a terrible situation before, especially Taylor. She was sweating profusely and her skin turned red due to exposure to the sun, yet she sat down obediently like a child and dared not make a noise. There were armed soldiers around the venue, maintaining
“That’s the God of War? I can’t see his face but why does he feel so ordinary?” “Mind your words!” The little grumble from one of the members of the top three families attracted side eyes from the others. “Yilon Musk is also the richest man in the world yet he looks like a crazy man and tons of people admire him.” “Yeah! Judging a book by its cover? How shallow!” “The God of War is not someone who we can understand!” Even though they could not see the God of War’s face up close, they showed respect to the hero of the country. “Salute!” Draco’s voice echoed loudly across the square as he lifted his arm. Everyone, on stage or off stage, raised their hands to salute with utmost respect and excitement. The God of War simply replied with the same salutation and said, “Let’s begin.” He did not use the mic but his voice was heard across the square. “Why does the God of War sound so familiar? It sounded exactly like the useless piece of trash from the Quint family!” som
Mathias was also intrigued. His family wanted him to get close to Albert and expand their business into the military. However, if he could get to know the God of War instead, then it would be a great surprise to him and his family back in Butterworth. Taylor wiped off the sweat on her forehead and quickly fixed her makeup. Asking for the God of War’s forgiveness was crucial to her career. Whether she could rise to stardom or be completely blacklisted, it all depended on the God of War! She even fantasized about dating the God of War! She thought it was possible because the God of War was young and she was beautiful. It might work! She could even settle as the God of War’s secret mistress or even just a one-night stand! Any kind of skinship with the God of War would boost her value, making her the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry. As for Aster, Shelly, Haiden, Zack, Kurt, and Wayne, all six of them breathed heavily as he lifted their chin. They be
“Mathias Queen of the Queen family from Butterworth.” Kaze called the next name on stage. Mathias was much calmer compared to the others due to his experience. He looked up and wanted to have a good look at the God of War’s face, but before he even reached the stage, he already collapsed on his knees. “You call that a young master from a powerful family? Hahaha, he’s nothing at all! All he has is the looks!” “Chapman, Golding, and Everia families.” Under the lead of their respective family heads, more than four hundred people marched toward the stage proudly. However, halfway there, the family members started to kneel group after group. Everyone was on their knees! Belarus, Flint, and Edward were unaware of their family members kneeling behind them as they were carried away by excitement. When they arrived in front of the stage and looked up, their expressions shifted greatly. “Kaze Lee?!” All their family heads cried in shock. Thump!The three of them spat b
Everyone from the top three families knelt and prostrated, not making a sound. “You lot tricked James and plotted the car crash to murder him. You accused him of sexually assaulting Taylor Swan and then forced him to jump off the building. And you people even scattered his ashes! “You went back on your promise and betrayed him, that’s crime number one.” Kaze counted the crimes of the top three families condescendingly. “You took advantage of James’ widow and daughter, forcing Winnie to remarry and harming his parents. That’s crime number two! “You plotted against the Shangrila Group, causing it to go bankrupt, stole its secret, and harmed the employees. That’s the third crime! “You recruited thugs from the underworld to oppress your competitors, running the business world of the city. Don’t forget about the bribery and annexation. That’s crime number four! “You monopolized the priority industry, oppressed the people of the city, and gained wealth through illicit means. Th
Countless people gathered outside Jade Estate, and there were more making their way here. All the roads connecting to the estate saw standstill traffic. The Traffic Department under the city council was forced to mobilize more manpower to clear the traffic and maintain order. Ever since the city was built, it had never seen such a grand funeral before. The red carpets were taken away, the stage for the ceremony was taken down, and the flowers along the pathways were removed. The top three families spent tens of millions to prepare this event to flatter the God of War, yet because of an order, all the decorations were taken down. All the decorations in Jade Estate were changed to prepare for the wake service. White flowers were placed around the lake, giving the entire premise a gloomy and heavy mood. The square that was used for the inauguration ceremony was turned into the venue for the wake service and funeral. A group of five to six hundred people appeared in forma
“James White’s ashes were already scattered by the top three families. That’s why the God of War evicted the Chapman family from the estate and used the place for the cenotaph,” someone from the audience answered. Then, Camry and Teresa put their son’s belongings into the casket as they cried. “Daddy, this was the toy you bought for Brenda…” Winnie carried Brenda to let her place a yellow duck inside. The girl’s innocent voice made everyone teared up. Winnie brought Brenda over in the end because she was James’ only daughter. After the casket was sealed and buried, the tombstone was erected. “James White.” It was not as tall as the statue of the Chapman family’s ancestors; it was just a normal tombstone. Then, the funeral officially ended. From now on, the family estate of the Chapman family became the tomb of James White. Two years ago, the top three families caused James’ death and took his company. Two years later, now, the gathering place of the top three
A while later, everyone finally recovered their composure. “Kaze, what are you talking about? The God of War just left and you are impersonating him again?” Not just Deborah who was deeply prejudiced against Kaze, even Darcy did not believe him. Kaze said, “Darcy, yesterday I said the Chapman family would have to move out of the Jade Estate and they did today. The estate was then turned into James’ grave. “All three families, the Chapmans, Goldings, and Everias, paid respect to James and were the pallbearers. You guys thought I was bragging and bluffing right?” He never thought of hiding his identity from Darcy because she was his wife. Even if she found out that he was the God of War, and if he asked her to keep the secret, he believed she would never tell. Revealing his identity would only bring disaster to Lilyrose City. The moment he saw the disappointment on Darcy’s face, he decided to reveal the truth. “Yeah.” Darcy, Rose, and the others nodded. They witnessed
