When Thomas and the chief of the army, Jim, saw the man, they stood straight because the man was none other than the general of Solaris Military District—Lev.
As soon as Randy heard how Lev called Kingsley, he was blown away by those words, followed by a buzzing that filled his head. Ares?! Was he the legend who had been fighting battles to protect Qustia and winning all of them? At the thought of that, Randy was held back by his skepticism that kept him from accepting the truth that Kingsley was the fierce warrior who had been honored with that title, Ares.
However, he couldn't deny Kingsley's power and influence, considering the fact that he and his people had been surrounded by thousands of military units. Thus, he had no choice but to accept the unpleasant truth begrudgingly.
"A-Ares..." Everyone felt as shocked as Randy did. "Please, Ares! Show us mercy! Ares!" In that instant, no one else had the guts to push their luck ever again as they all kneeled down and surrendered, imploring Kingsley to spare them.
Suddenly, a few loud bangs shook the ground and took everyone's breath away just when guns were fired at the sky. At the sight of that, Randy felt as if he almost had a heart attack, his lips turning pale, as if he was suffocating. In that instant, Connor held onto his father and asked in horror, "What's the meaning of this? Are they trying to crush us and reduce us to ashes?"
"No!" Kingsley set his eyes coldly upon those people. "Consider this your new 'housewarming' gift." The man then took a step forward and looked at Randy kneeling on the ground, bending over and adding, "After all, you're all going to be moving into your new home soon—hell. So, don't you think that should call for a celebration?" As soon as he finished his words, he stood straight in front of the tearful crowd and looked up at the sky. "Father! Mother! Can you both see this? I'm back! I will be sure to send everyone who has ever harmed you all to hell and rebuild the Nicholson Family!"
After Kingsley finished his words, the dark clouds and the strong wind somehow just went away before they were replaced by the clear sky that was accompanied by the bright sunshine. As soon as the rain let up,
Lancer and Hades took off their black raincoats, revealing the two golden star badges on their shoulders. Standing behind Kingsley along with Lev, they gave off an intimidating and oppressive aura. At that moment, Jim humbly presented the gown that had been long prepared and was meant for Ares to Kingsley, who flipped it onto his back and put it on. Seconds after he put on the cloak, the seven golden star badges glittered and shone glaringly on Kingsley's shoulder in the bright sun, making the man seem as if he was Ares, the God of War, himself.
In that instant, everyone in the military felt a boost in their morale as they expressed their admiration for Kingsley by shouting, "Ares, the God of War! Ares, the God of War! Ares, the God of War! Ares, the God of War!"
While the soldiers' cheer reverberated through the air and took over the atmosphere with their might, everyone else in the Summers Family felt as if their souls had left them, finding themselves on the verge of losing their consciousness due to their overwhelming fear.
"Randy Summers! Connor Summers! Caleb
Summers! Kayla Reed! Ashton Birch!" Kingsley called out those names one by one, as if those whose names were mentioned were fated to meet their end soon while the color was drained from their faces. Is that the voice from hell? Does it mean that our end is near?
"Caleb, do you admit your sin for forcing yourself upon my sister, Yulia?! Connor, you instigated your people to plot against me. Do you admit your sin?! Kayla, do you regret bullying your colleagues arrogantly?! Ashton, have you learned from your mistake of oppressing the weak now that you're staring death in the face?!"
Soon, Kingsley turned his attention to Randy and added, "Randy, you were behind the fire that killed my parents 17 years ago as you forcefully claimed the Nicholson Family's land as yours! For that, are you and your family ready to confess your sins to my parents in the afterlife?!"
When those people heard Kingsley's words, they were all overwhelmed by a buzzing in their heads and the regret for what they had done in the past. Soon, Caleb groveled to Kingsley, weakly begging him for forgiveness. "It's all my fault! It's all my
fault!"
Randy, on the other hand, explained with a sad voice, "Kingsley... Ares, please hear me out. I didn't kill your parents. It wasn't me who did that."
