Ares sneered, “Between a King Class warrior and a loser, who do you think is more likely to kill Luna who’s an Archduke? If he claimed that he killed Luna, no one will ever believe him as it doesn’t sound reasonable at all.”
“Besides, we have Luna’s body. This will be the proof that we killed her.”
His explanation rid most of Julian’s doubts.
At once, Ares contacted the Colonel’s personal bodyguard, Drake, and informed him on what happened.
Drake told him he needed to ask the permission of the King Class warrior who was guarding the Spirit Stone mine
Ares asked carefully, “Drake, can you help introduce me to the strongest of the King Class? Perhaps we can both improve our strengths after battling with each other.”
“Our nation will benefit greatly from this, too.”
Drake seemed torn. “I’m sorry, Ares. The identity of the strongest of the King Class in Eurasia is a piece of classified information. We can’t reveal it to anyone.”
“To be honest, I don’t even have the right to contact him. I have to ask the Colonel to relay my message if there’s any.”
Ares sighed in disappointment. “Forget about it then.”
However, he was curious as to who the strongest of the King Class was.
Will he be more powerful or weaker than me?
Ares thought, If he is weaker than I am, why don’t I kill him and take over his position?”
If the strongest of the King Class dies, then I’ll be the strongest person in Eurasia. This nation will treat me with the utmost respect, and I’ll be guarding the Spirit Stone mine myself.
After Drake ended the call with Ares, he called Zeke and asked for his opinion.
Actually, Drake didn’t know Luna was killed by Zeke instead of Ares.
Since the Spirit Stone mine was discovered and guarded by Zeke, even the Colonel himself had to ask for Zeke’s approval before getting the Spirit Stones.
Zeke gladly agreed to his request, as he wanted to discover Ares’ real identity and lure the Hidden Sect living in Mount Final out.
Of course, Zeke wouldn’t stop Ares’ plan.
In the end, Ares got the Spirit Stones he wanted successfully.
He immediately brought Julian back to the Thisleton Manor and entered his retreat.
Right now, Julian was very excited.
He thought he would be confined to a wheelchair forever; but now, he had a chance to stand up again and even gain back his power!
Julian was about to cry tears of joy.
Ares reminded him, “Julian, your limbs had been broken for a long time, so your bones and muscles are all distorted.”
“I need to break your limbs again to rearrange your bones and muscles so you can have a full recovery.”
“You need to bear with the pain and anguish. After all, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!”
Julian nodded firmly. “Sir, don’t worry. As long as I get to recover and go back to my power, I can put up with any pain.”
“Good,” Ares uttered and immediately took action.
Grabbing Julian’s limbs, he twisted them forcefully.
Crack!
Julian’s limbs broke once again.
“Ah!” Julian howled in pain.
Ares took his dagger and cut through Julian’s flesh and blood to destroy the deformed muscle tissues.
The pain was too much for Julian to bear.
The thought of spending the rest of his life in this wheelchair flitted across his mind. However, when he thought of how Zeke humiliated him, and how the other Thisletons looked down on him, he gritted his teeth and pull through the agonizing pain.
He had gritted his teeth so hard blood was trickling down his gums.
Ares took out the Spirit Stones and handed them to Julian. “Swallow them.”
Julian hesitated upon hearing his command.
