“Ladies and gentlemen, you may go home,” Evelyn Hall said, sweeping her gaze over the crowd. “However, the war god has declared that I am in charge of internal affairs, and Theresa Lindsay is in charge of defense. As of today, I am the lord of St. Sunday. Whether you accept it or not, that’s the truth. Those who won’t accept it can taste the blades of the Ghost Wolf Cavalry.”
“Yes, ma’am,” they responded. They had no choice but to return to their homes. When they left, they found St. Sunday as it always was, except for a group of young men in black armor near the auction site, who had been hastily trained and put on a good show.
After Rolf Haynes returned home,
“Mr. Haynes, you’re back. Surely, the Lord’s side must have won today.”
From within the group, a man with a rosy complexion stepped out, Eliott Garner, the one Rolf Haynes had previously used as a front. To make the situation more believable, he’d even allowed him to become his son-in-law.
Now,
“Father-in-law, why is your face so dark? Are you in a bad mood?”
Eliott Garner, adept at reading people’s moods, took one look at Rolf Haynes and knew he was upset, so he quickly stepped forward to ask.
If it were a normal day, Rolf Haynes might have nodded in satisfaction.
However, Rolf Haynes was not the same today.
Smack! Rolf Haynes swung his hand, delivering a slap. Although he wasn’t a particularly large man, Eliott Garner was completely unprepared, and the slap left him dazed.
“Why?”
Eliott Garner touched his face, looking at Rolf Haynes in confusion. Then, acting like he was in a drama, he stepped forward and said, “If you’re upset, you can vent your anger on me, your son-in-law. I’m willing to take it all, after all, I love your daughter so much.”
He feigned deep affection.
Yet, another slap landed on Eliott Garner’s face, leaving him stunned again. It wasn’t right, he had just professed his love for Rolf’s daughter, in her honor, he shouldn’t be hit again.
“You really are disgusting.”
Rolf Haynes roared.
Then, he ordered, “Someone, throw this despicable man out.”
He originally had a soft spot for the brown-nosing Eliott Garner, but now seeing him made Rolf angry. If it weren’t for this man, how could he have offended the war god? Although the war god had said he wouldn’t kill him this time.
However, he only said this time.
It didn’t mean he wouldn’t kill him next time.
This was like roasting the Haynes family on a fire.
The feeling was most unbearable.
“Yes.”
The guards inside quickly stepped forward.
“What?”
This time, Eliott Garner was genuinely stunned. Was this real?
“Father, I don’t understand. Why are you driving me away? I love your daughter so much, I will never let her down in this life. Why are you driving me away?”
Eliott Garner’s acting skills skyrocketed, and he began to cry on the ground.
One minute he was proclaiming his love for your daughter.
That’s your daughter!
Given what I’ve said, aren’t you still going to drive me away?
Normally, any father would be relieved and happy to see his son-in-law loving his daughter so much.
But this time, Rolf Haynes’s face darkened even more, “Take him away.”
“?”
Eliott Garner, who was crying, froze. What was happening?
I’m crying like this, and you’re still driving me away.
What’s the meaning of this?
However, when he felt that the guards were really driving him away, he immediately cried out, “Your father’s gone mad, he wants to drive me away. I don’t want to go, I love you.”
The ‘I love you’ was said very loudly.
In fact, he didn’t love her.
What he loved was the wealth and prosperity of the Haynes family.
However, this didn’t mean he couldn’t act like he loved the girl very much. After all, besides studying medicine in college, he also took a minor in acting.
He had specifically studied this field.
At this moment, it came in handy.
“Dad, what are you doing?”
Among the cries, Jennis also came over. Seeing the situation, she was immediately shocked.
“I don’t know what I did wrong. Father-in-law wants to drive me away. I love you, I don’t want to leave you. Help me talk to your father, if there’s a problem, I’ll change.” Eliott Garner looked at Jennis with teary eyes.
“Dad, what did Eliott Garner do today to make you so angry?”
Jennis quickly went to Rolf Haynes’s side and asked.
“He did nothing.”
Rolf Haynes shook his head.
To tell the truth, Eliott Garner hadn’t really done anything today. However, it was precisely because of him that the Haynes family offended the War God.
“Why would you do this?” Jennis asked, not understanding.
“I feel like it,” Rolf Haynes said menacingly.
Jennis and Eliott Garner were both stunned. What on earth was happening? Had Rolf Haynes gone mad?
“Dad, don’t be like this, be normal, let Eliott Garner go,” Jennis cooed.
“Do you want to plead for him?”
“Yes,” Jennis answered sincerely.
“Then you can leave the Haynes family too. I will pretend I don’t have a daughter like you,” Rolf Haynes declared.
Jennis was taken aback. What was happening? Was he disowning his own daughter?
“Dad,” Jennis cooed again. As a woman who knew how to get her way, she naturally knew how to act the part. But Rolf Haynes glared at her and commanded, “Someone, throw her out as well.”
Eliott Garner was stunned. He couldn’t understand what was happening.
“What… Dad, I…” Jennis, held by two guards to be chased out of the Haynes family, turned pale. She was a spoiled young lady. How could she be kicked out of the Haynes family? “Dad, I was joking just now. I won’t plead for him, just let me go,” she said quickly. Eliott Garner was nothing compared to her own prosperity.
However, just then, a few men passing by looked inside and sneered, “Haynes family, haven’t you run away yet? You’ve offended the War God and dared to stand out first, where did you get the nerve?”
“War God?” Jennis was startled.
“It’s Robin, the one who saved your brother. He is Mr. X, the War God, Kisia’s War God. Half an hour ago, he annihilated a hundred thousand-strong army of the South Land, besieged Maclean Lyons, and took control over St. Sunday,” Rolf Haynes explained.
“Dad… no… Rolf Haynes, I was just pleading for Eliott Garner. Our love is as clear as day and night. Since you don’t recognize our love, we shall cut off all ties. From now on, I am not a member of the Haynes family, nor am I your daughter. I am just Jennis.” After saying this loudly, Jennis ran off and disappeared. As for Eliott Garner, who cared about him?
