Return of the war god Chapter 20
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

Everytime Luna flinched, Arthur could feel his heart tighten.“... I'm sorry Arthur. I'll protect you.” Luna muttered while a look of despair morphed her features.The tears he had been holding in from the start, were on the verge of spilling down.Biting his lips while in pain, Arthur continued to tend to her, as gently as he possibly could in order to heal her without causing her any more pain.She had gone through enough and Arthur was determined to fulfill his promise from then on.Leon returned from the errand Arthur had sent him on before he was guided by Elizabeth’s right hand man to the room where Arthur tended to Luna.He knocked and waited patiently for a reply.“Come in, Leon.” Arthur managed with a cracked tone.He wordlessly stepped in and remained by the door, shifting his gaze elsewhere after noticing the look of pain Arthur had as he tended to his last family.Leon decided to reserve his update on the mission he was given later. He knew better than to disturb Arthur wi

Elizabeth sipped her tea and set it back on a tray before her as she went over the morning news.As she expected, news of Ethan Burton and Johnathan Williams’ murder had spread like wildfire, even with the families obvious attempts at blocking the information. Though it was vague, the news anchor implied that no solid motive for the murder was known by the authorities.That and the fact that the law enforcement agencies were still not aware of the culprit and they assured the public that they would do their very best to find the one responsible.Elizabeth laughed gently at the comment, muttering to herself, “Serves those pieces of trash right. The biggest mistake they made was laying a finger on Luna. They were courting death and here we have it, they all got what they deserved.”The news then went on to describe the relics owned by the Williams family that were stolen but among all the pictures shown, the sword Elizabeth had seen with Arthur wasn't shown.She knew the history behind
