Everything was my fault, and I think only my death could wash away my sins.” “Please don’t speak like that, Grandmother!” “Mother Please don’t speak like that!” Everybody called out with concern that they don’t usually show, but the Old Matriarch acted like she doesn’t hear and continued her self-reproachful smile while Rex Magnus' mouth abruptly twitched slightly. ‘What's everybody thinking of, and grandmother-in-law, what’s she saying?’ he looked lost before shaking his head slightly. “I don’t think you understand me,” he bega
**** Although Rex Magnus does not want it, he doesn’t interfere with his wife's wish at all and allows her to do as she wants even though he already knew which choice she would take.And as he had thought, after she was begged over and over again by everybody, Fiona eventually gave in, Although not that willingly. And on that day, at that moment, Fiona Johnson became the Matriarch of the Johnson family.After that, Rex Magnus waited more and only left with May after everything was settled.On their way, May gave him the Intel of everything that had been going on the past few days, about how the entire world was already deploying their army and so, and the more Rex Magus hears, the paler his face became, but he said nothing and kept quiet throughout until May took him to meet his generals.With May present, they all for the first time in more than three years discussed the coming war before them, and Rex Magnus finally learned of all the available soldie

According to all the coverages we’ve seen, he left his house this morning and…” ….. “Team 82, any traces of that bastard?” “None as of now, sir.” “Continue searching then. Make sure to search every inch of the city, okay?” “Yes, sir.” …… Presently, the entire Chase city is so quiet that one would think it had turned into an empty street if not for the thousands of armies that could be seen almost every minute. Apart from this, several aircraft could be seen flying to and fro in the sky, as if searching
**** “Very soon, we shall split ourselves into groups, with each group under a general,” Rex Magnus who still doesn’t know the aura around him continued. “Now that we have the upper-hand of being in the dark while our enemies are in the bright space, we should make use of this well.” Like so, Rex Magnus continued speaking and giving orders until finally, everybody set out. All the soldiers were split equally under a general, leaving Rex Magnus and May alone. He watched calmly as the last group left, then he turned to May. “Our lives are now in your hands, please do monitor them and inform us of any changes.” “Hun?” May's eyes abruptly widen at this, then she trembled slightly. “Ma… master, this… this isn’t right, right?” It is now time for Rex Magnus to be stomped. He gazed strangely at May for a while before shaking his head slightly. “You are definitely acting strange. This isn’t the first time you would be doing th
****Presently, Rex Magnus could be seen once again standing before his army with a stoic expression on his face.They were where they'd planned to meet after the success of the previous operation.“Are you all ready for the showdown?”He asked his army gently.“Yes, sir, we are all very ready, sir.” He was responded to by organized voices which made the ground around them tremble intensely.Without a change in expression, Rex Magnus looked at them more for a few minutes, the powerful and leadership aura still circulating him with full force, he nodded his head.“Okay then. We shall strictly follow the plan and tactics already made,” he uttered seriously this time around. “There is zero chance for a mistake, okay?”“Yes, sir.”With that, Rex Magnus and his men proceeded outside the city's gate, making everywhere they pass tremble.It was as if they’d turned into powerful beasts with the oppressive atmosphere spreading around them and
**** “Hahaha, the ex-divine general does make jest of me,” the young man abruptly chuckled. “Who am I, how dare I claim myself to be the cousin of a like of you?” “Hehehe,” Rex Magnus also chuckled in return before finally glancing at all the faces his eyes could see, and the more he sees, the heavier his heart became and the more emotional he became. Even though he already learned that most of the people in the group had betrayed him, he still wasn’t able to handle the deep sadness and broken-heartedness within him. As for the people his gazes stayed longer upon, they knew that Rex Magnus has recognized them, but only a few of them has embarrassed expressions on their faces, as for the rest, their eyes were filled with mockery. After a while, Rex Magnus abruptly chuckled again. “I never knew why I was this blind in the past that I didn’t realize I was being hated upon by these many people.” “Hun?” Everyone abruptly looked flushed before
****“Dear brother, it’s been a while.”The young man suddenly smiled brightly after reaching Rex Magnus, but unfortunately, Rex Magnus couldn’t do a thing.Despite this, the look in his eyes already showed everything in his mind which only made the young man chuckle brightly.“Hahaha, yes, you have thought right, my dear brother. It was your sweet and precious May that poisoned you.”The moment Rex Magnus heard this, despite the great effort it took, he forced his eyes to gaze at May pleadingly, as if begging her to say it was a lie, but the moment he saw the look on her face, his eyes redden, and he would have been screaming ‘why’ right now if he was still at the control of his body.Although he already knew the truth, he still doesn’t want to believe it at all, so Rex Magnus continued gazing pleadingly at May despite his eyes having turned crimson red.Seeing this, the young man before Rex Magnus looked even greater.Smiling brightly, he co
