Chapter 915: Forcing a confession
GDK 915: Forcing a confession
As soon as Han Shuo and Donna were away, Dolores went to Felder and whispered, “Patriarch, you should use the Divine Brand that the Overgod has bestowed upon you and inform His Lordship that Bryan is here. Perhaps the Dark Lord could descend here and finish Bryan!”
Dolores kept his voice very low as though he was afraid that Han Shuo who had disappeared into a forest with Donna could hear him.
Those members of the Lavers Family who had previously begged Han Shuo to spare their lives immediately had their eyes lit up after hearing Dolores’ proposal and voiced their agreement, hoping that Felder would immediately summon the Overgod of Darkness to kill Han Shuo.
Felder bunched his brows at Dolores and angrily said, “You want us Lavers exterminated?”
Dolores was taken aback. He was surprised by Felder’s reaction to his proposal and he hastily replied, “No, Patriarch! I do not understand. Why would that be such a bad idea?”
Felder looked at other members of the Lavers who were also puzzled before he groaned and answered in a deep voice, “If the Dark Lord wanted Bryan dead, you think he could have walked out from the Darkness Dominion alive?”
Dolores became even more astonished. “Patriarch, you mean to say that the Overgod of Darkness had meant to let him escape? How is that possible? Hofs and Wallace were City Lords of the Darkness Dominion. Why would the Darkness Overgod spare Bryan’s life after he killed two of the most important characters in His Dominion?”
Felder put on a disdained look and replied, “You have never been in the presence of the Overgod and you will never understand His might. Although I do not know why the Dark Lord did not kill him, I’m certain that if His Lordship wanted, Bryan would already be dead long before he could step out from His Dominion.”
Dolores was overwhelmed with shock and was rendered speechless momentarily by that bombshell.
Felder then let out another cold groan and said, “You better give up on even touching him as soon as possible. And speaking of Bryan, we might even have to thank him for our return to the Darkness Dominion. Given our family’s condition and strength, I’m far from qualified to be the City Lord of Hushveil City. I suspect that the Overgod’s decision might have something to do with Bryan…”
Dolores was overwhelmed with shock and it seemed as though that was too much of a revelation for him to digest. He mumbled in disbelief, “Impossible, this is impossible! Why would an Overgod, one of the most powerful beings in the universe, give thought to such a puny character?”
“How would we know?” Felder suddenly looked at the ground, shook his head, and sighed. He lamented, “If I knew that Bryan possessed such great powers, I would have personally welcomed him the day he first stepped into the Lavers Residence. Sigh, indeed, Donna’s foresight is lightyears ahead of ours. If I had listened to her advice, perhaps our Lavers Family wouldn’t have declined but soared meteorically.”
“Pa.. patriarch, have you… have you given up on… avenging Uncle Avery’s death?” stammered Dolores after hesitating for a while.
“Avenge?” Felder took a glance at the thick forest that Han Shuo and Donna retreated to before he yet again sighed. He turned back to Dolores and replied, “Yarus, Darkwater, Darkstone, Hofs, and Wallace - almost every City Lord of the Darkness Dominion and a bunch of highgods joined forces and tried to kill him. But in the end, they failed and it cost Hofs, Wallace, and Larikson their lives. So, tell me, how would we get our revenge? Who among our House of Lavers is capable of that?”
“But… but…” Dolores had words to say but was choked by the brutal reality.
Felder interrupted and sternly instructed, “You all better give up on the idea as soon as possible. When we are in Hushveil City, focus on performing your duties. Don’t even fantasize about attacking Bryan, or you will bring calamity upon our House of Lavers. Remember that by heart!”
Dolores and other members of the House of Lavers found the instruction hard to accept but their patriarch was not giving them any room for objection. They nodded and promised to obey
***Inside a thick jungle with verdant and lush vegetation where the ground was covered with beautiful flowers emanating faint fragrances.
Among those flowers stood a most outstanding, captivating, lovely beauty, wearing a light purple dress that not in the least concealed the beautiful curves of her body and her long, slender legs. There was a tinge of sorrow on her rosy white cheeks that would invite sympathy from anyone.
When standing before Donna, Han Shuo felt as though he had a million words to say but no words could come out of his mouth. In the end, he let out a long sigh and said, “It’s been a while, Donna.”
Donna turned her bright eyes to Han Shuo and stared foolishly at him for a moment. This youngster who used to hide his light under a bushel and came to Elysium with nothing had become one of the most outstanding characters in the world and possessed great influence.
Not only was he a Sovereign on the most hazardous land of Elysium, but he had also fought against the most powerful City Lords of the Darkness Dominion and escaped from their trap. In just a short few decades, from a nobody, he had become one of the most outstanding beings on Elysium. His strength was so valiant that many City Lords of the Divine Dominions were intimidated by his name.
