“Scar?”
Through the car window, Sean immediately recognized Earl Woods standing at the front of the crowd. His pupils contracted sharply. Just as King of Night had warned him before, seeing Earl Woods in the Shirine Empire royal city certainly surprised him!
At the same time! A sense of unease welled up from the bottom of his heart, giving him an ominous feeling!!!
Earl Woods! Also known as Scar!
This nickname was given by Sean himself, for a very simple reason. In the battlefield of the North, Sean once slashed him nearly to death. To this day, from his right cheek to his left lower abdomen, there’s still a huge scar left by the sword!
That scar! It was Earl Woods’ disgrace, yet Sean’s badge of honor!
Therefore, Earl Woods had always kept it in mind, looking forward to the day when he could strike back at Sean and take his life!
And Sean, who hadn’t been able to kill Earl Woods with a single blow, also harbored regret, similarly awaiting the day when he could finish him off for good!
Moments later, the car carrying Sean pulled up in front of Earl Woods and Eliott Garner and came to a slow stop. King of Night said in a deep voice: “The duel you two wish for will probably never come to pass in this lifetime!”
Obviously, King of Night also knew the origin of the nickname “Scar”!
Now, with Sean’s death imminent, naturally, no more opportunities for a duel with Earl Woods would arise.
After speaking, King of Night stepped out of the car. Eliott Garner quickly approached, slightly bowing, and said: “King of Night, you’ve worked hard on this journey!”
As a confidant of King Ron, King of Night held no official position, yet everyone, including Eliott Garner, the leader of the royal guards, had to bow before him!
“I’ve long heard of King of Night, and seeing you today, the reputation is indeed well-deserved!”
Earl Woods carefully sized up King of Night. Seeing him clad in a black robe, his face covered by a half-red, half-white Prajna mask, his ghastly appearance was indeed very fitting for the moniker “King of Night”. He couldn’t help but develop a strong interest in King of Night, curiously asking: “I wonder, how much power does this ‘Ghost King’ possess?”
“Compared to the ‘Wolf King’ in the car, who is stronger?”
“How many of my blows can you withstand?”
Unlike Eliott Garner, even when facing King of Night, Earl Woods maintained his arrogant demeanor!
Even more so, he exuded a faint sense of battle intent!
“Really?”
King of Night met Earl Woods’ gaze fearlessly and said: “General Woods, do you wish to try me?”
Instantly, the atmosphere became tense!
“Hahaha…”
However, Earl Woods wasn’t so arrogant as to pick a fight with King of Night in the royal city of Shirine Empire. He laughed and waved his hand, saying: “No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!”
“I’ve heard!”
“King of Night, half human, half demon, always elusive, although without an official position, he inspects the world for the Padishah, standing below one but above thousands!”
“However, with a Prajna mask covering your face, other than the Padishah, no one else has ever seen your true face!”
“When the day comes for you to fall beneath my blade, I will personally remove your mask!”
After speaking, Earl Woods no longer tangled with King of Night. He turned his gaze to Sean, who was still lying in the car, and changed the subject: “Today, I am specifically here to send Sean off on his last journey!”
At this time, a few royal guards stepped forward, opened the car door, and lifted Sean out!
Surrounded by 5000 royal guards, Eliott Garner led his men to stand between Earl Woods and Sean, guarding against a sudden attack on Sean. He reminded Earl Woods: “General Woods, you only have two minutes!”
“Two minutes?”
“Enough!”
Earl Woods looked at Sean from afar and laughed: “It seems your life hasn’t been too good since your retirement just a few months ago!”
“Look!”
“Just look!”
“Down and out like a dog, where is the heroic figure that once commanded the battlefield?”
“Hehe!”
“I feel a bit reluctant to kill you now…”
A small man in power!
Naturally, he has to mock and sneer!
Sean, weak and pale, ignored Earl Woods’ taunts and asked: “Why are you here?”
“How are things in the North?”
Originally, Sean’s only concern was for Cecilia and the others in the Palace of Wolf, but seeing Earl Woods here, he couldn’t help but worry about the situation in the North!
After all, only a few members of the retired Bloody Wolf Group remain, with the majority still stationed in the North!
“Are you asking about your brothers in the Bloody Wolf Group?” Earl Woods laughed brighter, extremely smug as he said, “Seeing as you are soon to die, seeing as you were once my opponent, there’s no harm in telling you!”
“They’ve been caught! All of them have been caught! And it wasn’t me who caught them, but your emperor. Isn’t that funny? Isn’t it hilarious?”
Earl Woods was extremely joyful, even more so when he saw the shock and a hint of pain on Sean’s face. It was even more exciting than winning a battle on the battlefield!
Sean turned to look at King of Night. However, before King of Night could speak, Eliott Garner stepped in and said, “General Woods is correct. You are now a traitor of the Shirine Empire. All members of the Bloody Wolf Group could potentially be your allies. Therefore, the emperor has ordered to strip them of their military power and confine them in the north. If they dare to make any suspicious moves, they will be executed without mercy!”
Upon hearing this, Sean’s heart sank to the bottom. Clearly, the entire Bloody Wolf Group had been implicated because of him. King Ron wanted to kill him but was worried that the members of the Bloody Wolf Group would save him. So, he took the initiative to eliminate the massive threat of the Bloody Wolf Group!
“Moreover,” Earl Woods took the opportunity to say, “I have come to your capital this time for a truce between the two countries. One of the conditions for the truce is to use the lives of your soldiers in the north to commemorate our North Kingdom warriors who died on the battlefield. So, rest assured. After you die, your brothers in the Bloody Wolf Group will soon join you in the underworld. This includes your wife and children.”
As he spoke, a playful look swept across Earl Woods’ smirking face. He even stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, then continued, “I heard that tomorrow is the day of your wedding with your wife, Cecilia. Right? May 20th, such a beautiful day! But unfortunately, you are now like a walking corpse and can’t even move. You are not in a state to welcome the bride or consummate the marriage. But what can we do? I am kind-hearted and love to help others. So, I have proposed to your emperor that I, in your place, complete the wedding ceremony and marry your beautiful wife and adorable daughter. At that time, I will fulfill your duties as a husband and take good care of them both. Haha, hahaha…”
Earl Woods became more and more excited as he spoke. After he finished speaking, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. The members of the North Kingdom delegation behind him also laughed. For a moment, the royal city was filled with laughter.
But Sean was thoroughly infuriated by Earl Woods’ words. He gritted his teeth, veins bulging in his neck, and his slightly narrowed pupils burst with rage. “You are looking for death!”
In the next moment, accompanied by a roar like a wild beast, Sean, from some unknown source of strength, suddenly raised his tightly clenched right fist. Despite the several meters between them, he delivered a punch towards Earl Woods, who was laughing wildly!
