Return of the war god Chapter 18
The auction, unlike the Burton family's last occasion, was held at a hotel owned by the William's family.This was agreed upon by both the patriarch of the William's family and Liam, who was currently the acting head of the Burton's family because of the public opinion.After all, no distinguished person attending the function felt safe on the Burton's family property, especially after the murder of Nathaniel.Though they didn't outright say it, after all even though the Burton family was declining greatly, they were still one of the seven great families, and if they could avoid it, most families did not wish to directly antagonize them.While Liam, who was the interim head of the Burton's family had been reduced to a joke due to the scandalous actions of his last son, Jon Burton, Ethan on the other hand was still respected greatly due to his achievements in the military.Many argued that he was merely granted an easy way in due to his family's position, but the ones who knew him, kne

She quickly averted her gaze. Luna had planned to come to the occasion solely for the purpose of being of as much help to Arthur as she could to express her gratitude.And while it was an occasion hosted by both the Burton and William’s family, she had hoped she would have no run in with anyone from the Burton family.Luna even went out of her way to first observe the host family’s movements through the crowd before moving herself, consciously avoiding them.But her actions were all in vain as Jon Burton approached angrily after setting his eyes on her.Stepping back in fear, Luna didn’t notice the waiters that moved behind her carrying a large antique vase. The vase fell to the ground with a loud crash and scattered into a hundred pieces, catching the attention of everyone present.The waiters looked from the destroyed antique to the bewildered Luna with a shocked expression.“Look what you’ve done!” One of the two that carried the vase pointed angrily at Luna, the interaction causi

Luna was tired of it. Time after time, she felt like her own life was not in her hands but controlled by one person or the other.First, it was the people who massacred her family and forced her and her cousin Arthur to flee, then it was her adoptive mother, Clara Byrne, then the Gallagher's and now this.She had decided to herself ever since Arthur's return that she would take back control of her life and she saw this as the first step.Turning to Elizabeth, she pleaded, “I promise you I'm telling you the truth, aunt. I never came near the workers carrying the vase. I don't know what crime I have committed against the Burton family that I am being framed like this.”“How bold of you to utter such rubbish? Did I not make my judgement not on the testimonies of anyone present but on the footage presented before everyone here?” Ethan stated coldly, walking towards her and remaining unfazed as she took a few steps back. “Is this how the so called ‘most promising businesswoman’ Clara Byrn

The Gallagher's and Clara Byrne looked at each, panic and confusion written across their features as they knelt before the silent Ethan Burton.Noticing Luna, Clara wondered just why she was dragged here as well?Did she perhaps attend a party she wasn't invited to? While both Clara and the Gallagher’s had heard about Nathaniel's memorial occasion, the Burton family hadn't deemed them important enough to send an invite to, so they didn't bother.“So are you all aware about why I brought you all here?” Ethan asked, sitting cross legged on the only chair in the room.A few in the room managed to shake their heads in reply, the others too scared by the sight of the soldiers behind Ethan in full uniform to move.But most of all, Luna was not just scared, she was extremely confused. She knew she didn't bump into any of the workers, so why had the video shown that she did.And Ethan even went as far as dragging out her adoptive mother and the Gallagher's for a reason she didn't know, all t

Ethan walked to Luna and slapped her with all his strength, sending her crashing to the ground.“You stupid piece of trash! So you were one of the Rhyfel's all along?” He yelled angrily, gripping a fistful of her hair and dragging her up to his eye level.Luna shrieked in pain, squirming and pleading for him to let her go but her actions only further enraged him.So he slapped her again and again until she finally went still, her twitching body and occasional sobs the only signs that she was still conscious.“Now tell me yourself, Luna Byrne or should I call you Luna Rhyfel? Is that man, the one who brought disgrace to my nephew and my family name, is that man Arthur Rhyfel?”Luna was in pain. She didn't even understand how she hadn't fainted at that time. But even at that, if there was one thing she would rather die than do, it would be to betray her only family, Arthur.So she managed to speak between sobs, “...Just kill me.”“Oh, I will, soon enough.”…Arthur and Leon entered the

Jon yelled in anger and rushed to him with his fist raised.“That hand you raised, you'll lose it today.” Arthur said coldly and with a swipe of Calaburn, Jon's severed arm fell to the ground.He had drawn the sword so fast that they only knew he had used it when he lowered the blade, after cutting off Jon's arm.His pained screams snapped the soldiers and Ethan out of their daze as their gaze was drawn to the kneeling and screaming Jon, who held onto the stomp left behind tightly as blood soaked his hand.The statement Arthur had made was fulfilled in mere moments and that was just a preview of things to come.The war god had stated that blood would flow.And no entity in the empire would stop him.“What are you standing around for?! Get him now!” Ethan yelled his order, forcing his men to attack the lone Arthur.Or at least they tried to. But with each swift swing of his arm, every soldier that ran towards him, crumpled to the ground, remaining still.In one blow each, Arthur had se

Johnathan jumped up from his seat, his excitement soon replacing the fear he felt.The hall had grown silent at Arthur's announcement and the mere sight of his mask had everyone frozen in place.It was moments afterwards that someone from the crowd managed to yell. “That's the man who killed Nathaniel Burton!”That person was one of Liam Burton's confidants.It first started with one person but soon every guest present ducked and covered their heads with their hands.The ones who had been present during the occasion where Nathaniel was murdered wondered how they were so lucky to miss the killer on one occasion only to be unfortunate enough to run into him now.Turning to his subordinates and the soldiers who served under Ethan, he barked his order. “Seize that man right this instant!”Arthur was unfazed by the command Johnathan gave or by the hundred trained men who ran at him with the intent to subdue him.The only thing on his mind was to complete the system mission that worked hand

It took almost thirty minutes for any of the guests to even stand, as they were afraid that perhaps one of Arthur's associates was still in the venue.Moments later, the police arrived at the hotel, escorted everyone out while taking their testimonies.They discovered Ethan's dead body, Jon's unconscious form and the Gallagher's who remained huddled together out of fear.After what they had seen happen to Ethan and Jon, not one of the Gallagher's had the audacity to speak about their experience to the police when questioned.As far as their testimony went, they didn't recognise the killer and the room was dark.No one dared to say anything about Luna's involvement as well because they were afraid of what Arthur would do to them if he found out that they put her in harm's way.They had only seen a small portion of what he was capable of and even at that, they were more in awe of him than they were to the law enforcement.Jon was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance and the bodies of
