Secretly the god of war

005

“You… you disgust me, prepare to die!” Simon yelled as he prepared to fight Ray.

However, he was stopped in his action when a specific person appeared in front of him. It was his Father; Luca Grayson. He‘s an old man in his late sixties whose appearance doesn’t seem to match his age.

Honestly, he looked more like a middle aged person considering that he had no grey hair. Or perhaps he must have dyed it.

“Son, I want you to stop this immediately. Today’s your wedding day, and many of our guests have come here to celebrate you. It won’t be good to turn such a grand place into a bloody one. This is not a battlefield.” Luca stated, and after a bit of hesitation, Simon had decided to stop.

His anger had subsidised a little, but he still wanted to embarrass Ray in front of everyone. Even if he couldn’t do it now, he had so many other times when he could do it.

Ray himself wasn’t willing to fight, he wondered what will happen if he was to beat Simon in front of everyone. Sure he could handle any problem that arises, but it would only cause a lot of mess. And the last thing he want to do was reveal his real identity to anyone.

Running over to the trio, Bruce had immediately approached Luca. “I’m partly at fault for this mess, please let me handle this. We will continue with the wedding shortly.”

Luca didn’t utter anything and just walked back to his seat.

Bruce then wrote a one million dollars check and tossed it to Ray. “Here’s one million dollars to compensate you. Now leave and don’t ever show yourself in front of me or my daughter again, or else!” Bruce threatened.

While saying this, Grace had stepped forward as she snatched the engagement contract from Ray’s hand. She then proceeded into tearing them into pieces.

“A lazy bum like you should be grateful for that money. I’m hundred percent sure your pay isn’t even up to half of it.” Grace taunted with her words.

While snatching away the contract, Ray hadn’t done anything to stop Grace. Instead, he had picked up the check that was tossed to the ground, and had it held in his hand.

At that point, Simon had went closer to him for a whisper.

“That’s right Ray, you’re nothing but a scum. See you holding so dearly onto a million dollar check. Well, you at least need that to survive since you’ll be losing your job latest by tomorrow morning.”

Hearing this, Ray had turned to look at Simon. “How many times will you keep on threatening me with that word. If I were you, I would’ve used something better or maybe stop hiding behind your father and fight like a real man.”

Simon clenched his fists tightly as he heard this, he wanted to punch Ray right now, but he had to hold himself back.

“If it was any other day I wouldn’t have held back. But unlike you, I have a reputation to hold. You should also count yourself lucky today Ray, if my father hadn’t interfered into our fight, I would’ve dealt mercilessly with you.” Simon claimed.

“Well, you still have a chance though. But you should also count yourself lucky cause I decided not to reveal the full extent of my power to you and everyone here.” Ray said, and he meant what he said.

Apart from not trying to reveal his identity to the Munroe’s family, Ray was hoping none of the guests would recognise him as the war god. Since actually, he had came to this city in an undercover to reveal the ones involved in his parents’ death.

“And this…?” Ray said, tearing the check into a thousand pieces. “I have no need of this. I just hope none of you regret the decision you made today. And that includes you, Grace. I wouldn’t spare you a single glance even if you beg for my help.”

“Beg for your help? Why the hell will I need help from a sore loser like you? I guess you’ve watched too many comedy shows.”

A wide range of laughter echoed through the whole room, as the guests found Ray’s words to be exhilarating funny.

Why would such an influential family like that of Munroe’s family tend to seek the help of some mild loser who has no scores in life.

Smiling, Ray replied. “Alright then, I shall leave your party. I hope you two have a nice wedding that lasts through the month.”

When he said this, he was looking directly at Simon and Grace. After saying this, he had turned around to leave, but that was when something had occur.

A guard from the outside had Immediately rushed in as he announced the presence of a guest.

Normally, he wouldn’t have announced this, but since the person visiting was very influential, they had to make an exception. “The Queen’s Family is here!”

Everyone’s ear perked up as they heard this. The Queen’s family was a very influential and prestigious family in the country. They couldn’t imagine such a big family was invited to the Munroe’s wedding.

Luca glanced towards Bruce direction hoping for an explanation, but Bruce had shook his head to show that he hadn’t invited them.

Knowing the importance of the person that had just arrived, Luca and Bruce had went to welcome the special visitor.

It was as if the president of the country had came to attend their party.

Everyone’s gaze was turned towards the entrance where the guests were supposed to arrive. And a woman dressed in a red gown could be seen walking over with five bodyguards behind her.

“Gosh, it’s Ella Queen.”

“The goddess of the Queens Company and Enterprises.”

Everyone was in awe of who had just arrived. Not only was she important, but she was known for her mesmerising and breathtaking beauty.

Grace often considers herself to be the most beautiful, yet in front of Ella, she felt inferior. To be honest, every lady present in this party, both married and single, are overwhelmed with jealousy at the sight of Ella’s beauty.

The more reason why she was called the goddess, not just because of her amazing feats in making her company rise to the top 1 over the years, but also because of her unparalleled beauty.

Her perfect snow white skin has been used by many commercials to promote their products, and nearly every skin care company in the country wants Ella for their ads.

The men present at the party were also filled with awe at her mesmerising figure, a crazy desire flaring up in their eyes.

Simon who had just been delighted to be engaged to Grace, suddenly had a lustful look in his eyes as he saw Ella. For a moment, he doubted in his mind if he had made the wrong choice in marrying Grace, and wished he had met Ella earlier.

“Miss Queen had attended the Monroe’s family? They must be so respected by the Queen’s family since they sent their daughter here.”

“This wouldn’t just make the Monroe’s family become more respected, they will also become more influential.”

“Same as the Grayson’s family. I think they might be doing it for their sake. Sure they might be at the same footing as the Monroe’s family, but they’re still a wealthy and powerful family.”

“I bet the Queen’s had decided to come today to honour the Grayson’s family.”

“What if it was the Monroe’s family?”

The guests had began to discuss among themselves, some supporting the Monroe’s family, the others supporting the Grayson’s family.

While this went on, the two heads of the family had opted to welcome the visitor.

“Welcome to our home, Miss Queen. Thanks for coming to our party.” Bruce said.

“We had no idea you were visiting, we would’ve have welcomed you properly. Yet you have graced us with your presence, we the Grayson’s family feel so honoured by this.” Luca also stated.

Right after, other members of the Grayson and Monroe’s family had rushed over to greet her, and that includes both the bride and groom.

Though, Simon had decided to warn Ray before approaching the guest.

“I’ll advise you to leave now, this is a very important guest you won’t want to mess with.” Simon warned.

Ignoring Simon, Ray’s eyes caught with Ella’s and he had instantly recognised her. “Wait, she’s Ella from the Queen family?” He said in disbelief.

He couldn’t believe the person he slept with last night was the daughter of the most influential family in the city of Slough, his hometown.
