Chapter 524: Mutual Threats, Donald Sitwell’s Anger
Donald Sitwell was followed by several people, all of whom were old guys well past their prime. Most of them were at the Complete Stage, with three of them being at the half-step bright energy level. Except for Pastiff and Hendricks Carter, there was another person named Sean whom they didn’t recognize!
Seeing the situation, Hastiff immediately put down his chopsticks and stood up, respectfully bowing to Donald Sitwell. He said, “Director Hastiff of the Plainwater Town branch greets Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
The disciples from the Plainwater Town branch also stood up and saluted!
As for Sean…
Not only did he not stand up or bow, he didn’t even put down the chopsticks in his hand. He continued to eat a piece of braised pork, savoring it as if he was oblivious to the presence of Donald Sitwell. It was as if he was blind and deaf, completely disregarding the North Kingdom’s Crown Prince!
“Hmm!”
Hastiff’s heart skipped a beat, feeling the urge to hit someone. It was not easy to make it too obvious in front of Donald Sitwell, so he lightly coughed as a subtle reminder to Sean.
“Great Ape! You…”
Hastiff could hold back, but Hendricks Carter couldn’t. He had always viewed Sean as a stumbling block. Seeing Sean’s arrogance and disrespect towards Donald Sitwell, he was infuriated and was about to step forward to criticize Sean. However, Donald Sitwell stopped him.
“You!”
“So, you’re the Great Ape?”
Donald Sitwell lowered his head and looked down at Sean, examining him closely. He seemed unfazed by Sean’s disrespectful behavior. Instead, he smiled and spoke, commending him, “As your name suggests, you truly live up to the rumors. Arrogant and unruly, with a disdainful attitude towards everything.”
“But!”
“To achieve such an impressive result in the hundred-meter bamboo forest, you do have the capital to be arrogant.”
“And!”
“I admire the arrogance you possess that sets you apart from others.”
These words from Donald Sitwell were magnanimous, but they left the Lords and instructors from the headquarters dumbfounded. After all, they were familiar with Donald Sitwell’s character and style of action due to their frequent dealings with the royal family. In their impression, Donald Sitwell, like the “Great Ape,” was a man with arrogance ingrained in his bones. It was rare for him to “show respect to the deserving.”
“Yeah, it’s me.”
Only then did Sean put down the chopsticks in his hand, raising his head to meet Donald Sitwell’s gaze. He said, “So, you’re the North Kingdom’s Crown Prince? A middle-aged man in his forties who has just reached the Complete Stage, with average talent…”
Average talent!
That was Sean’s evaluation of Donald Sitwell. Despite Donald Sitwell praising him, Sean openly disdained him in front of everyone!
Pfft!
The disciples from the Plainwater Town branch who were listening almost sprayed out the food in their mouths! Damn it! It was one thing to be arrogant normally, but to be so arrogant in front of the current Crown Prince? This was just asking for trouble!ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Hmm!”
Hastiff coughed again, sweat starting to bead on his forehead. Just as he had worried, the mouth of the “Great Ape” was a natural troublemaker. He couldn’t let him meet Donald Sitwell!
The atmosphere in the dining hall suddenly dipped to freezing point!
Everyone held their breath, their hearts trembling with fear. They worried that Donald Sitwell, in his anger, might do something crazy, like killing the “Great Ape” on the spot!!!
To be honest, when Sean’s words fell, Donald Sitwell’s pupils suddenly contracted, his face turning as cold as ice. There was a flicker of icy killing intent between his eyebrows. He had the impulse to strike Sean with a single palm!
However!
Thinking of the things Albert Sitwell had entrusted to him before he came, Donald Sitwell gritted his teeth and held back. With a wave of his hand, he said in a low voice, “You all can leave. I want to have a private conversation with Mr. Great.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. It seemed that even the Crown Prince felt uncomfortable with so many people present while the “Great Ape” acted that way!
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
Donald Sitwell was a cultivator at the Complete Stage, while Great Ape was only at the mid-stage of dark energy. Even if they were to fight, Great Ape would never be Donald Sitwell’s match. Therefore, they weren’t worried about Donald Sitwell’s safety and turned to leave one by one!
Soon, in the spacious dining hall, only Sean and Donald Sitwell remained!
Donald Sitwell took a step forward, walking towards Sean and sitting down across from him. He stared at Sean up close and said in a cold voice, “I do admire your talent and arrogance, but that cannot be a reason for you to be so insolent in front of me.”
“In the past!”
“There were people like you who were arrogant in front of me!”
“They all died later!”
“So!”
“If you don’t want to end up like them, I can give you another chance to reconsider how you should face me!!”
A threat!
An undisguised threat!
The art of an emperor was the art of controlling people. In the eyes of the royal family, all beings were mere pawns. They either served or were exterminated. There was no third path. A chess piece that was not under their control was of no use. It would only become a potential threat!
This was the reason why Donald Sitwell wanted to see Sean personally, and in fact, it was Albert Sitwell who asked him to see Sean!
There were two reasons!
First, it was to completely dispel Albert Sitwell’s doubts. Were “Great Ape” and “General Wolf Sean” the same person? Second, it was to train Donald Sitwell’s ability to control others. The more outstanding a person was, the more arrogant they tended to be, and the more difficult they were to control. Therefore, Albert Sitwell asked Donald Sitwell to come and try to control Sean. It was not only a test for Donald Sitwell, but also a way to hone his skills!
If he couldn’t control him, it meant that Donald Sitwell’s abilities were still lacking!
It was precisely because of this that Donald Sitwell held back the impulse to kill Sean with a single palm. What he wanted was for Sean to submit to him, not to kill Sean!
“Is that so?”
As their eyes met, Sean fearlessly shook his head. He said, “Unfortunately, I’m afraid of many things, but threats are not one of them. There have been many people who threatened me in the past, and they all died.”
“Moreover!”
“Some of them happened to be princes or crown princes of other countries, just like Your Highness.”
“So!”
“It’s better for you to maintain the attitude of showing respect to the deserving, Your Highness. I don’t think you need to change!”
Threats?
Who the fuck doesn’t know how to make threats?
Boom!!!
Just as Sean finished speaking, a powerful surge of dark energy erupted from Donald Sitwell’s body. A powerful gust of wind surged, causing the bowls on the table between him and Sean to tremble and make a clattering sound, as if there was an earthquake!
Clearly!
Donald Sitwell was completely infuriated by Sean’s shamelessness, and once again, a strong killing intent arose towards him!!!
