Lately, they had been troubled over the issue of the Demon Slayers. Now that Ares had exterminated them, he had essentially saved their lives, so it was only right for them to attend the commendation ceremony.
Upon arrival, Ares introduced Julian to the national leaders, hoping to pave the way for him.
At around noon, the Prime Minister arrived.
Ares welcomed him, “Prime Minister, we’ve been waiting for your arrival. Please, take a seat.”
“Ares, have a seat as well,” the Prime Minister replied, and both of them took their seats.
Ares went straight to the point and queried, “Sir, will the strongest of the King Class be attending the commendation ceremony? I hope that you can introduce us.”
The Prime Minister inhaled sharply. “He should be attending the ceremony. However, it seems that he is unwilling to expose his identity for now. I need to ask for his permission before introducing you.”
“Alright then,” Ares replied in dismay. “Please put in a good word for me. After all, if the strong work together, it will definitely bring benefit to Eurasia.”
“Of course!” The Prime Minister nodded.
Right then, Ares caught a glimpse of Zeke.
He had just entered the hall.
Instantly, Ares’ gaze turned cold.
He got up and yelled, “Hold it! Today is my commendation ceremony. I will not allow any unauthorized personnel to attend it.”
He was publicly shaming Zeke by calling him unauthorized personnel.
Zeke scoffed, “Am I unauthorized personnel?”
Ares replied, “Of course. Since I have not invited you here, you have no right to attend this ceremony.”
Zeke smirked. “Bye, then.”
“Hold it,” the Prime Minister halted Zeke. “Mr. Williams, please stay.”
Zeke replied solemnly, “Sir, you saw it yourself. Since he doesn’t welcome me, why should I stay? To embarrass myself?”
The Prime Minister was nearly begging him, “Mr. Williams, please stay on my account.”
Zeke paused and replied, “Well, we’ll have to ask Ares about that.”
Ares was frustrated. What on earth is the Prime Minister thinking? I’m the star of the show here. Don’t I at least have the right to chase Zeke out? Why must he keep him here?
The Prime Minister pleaded with him, “Ares, please let him stay on my account. Let him sit in the VIP seating area.”
Ares nearly coughed up blood. It’s already generous of me to let him stay. But now you want me to let him sit in the VIP area too?

However, since the Prime Minister made this request, Ares agreed reluctantly.
The Prime Minister heaved a sigh of relief. Ares may be the star of the show, but Zeke’s role is more important here in reality. After all, the Spirit Stones are in Zeke’s possession. He can choose to give them to you, but you can’t do anything about it if he refuses.
