Chapter 937 Idiocy Is Not An Excuse.



"Oberon you shameless bastard!

First, you tried to kill your own wife!

Now what!? Are you going to kill your children as well!?"

Felix shouted in rage.

"So that's the story that bitch made up huh…"

Oberon commented.

"Made up!? You fucking bastard! You dare say those wo-"

Felix wanted to shout in anger, however, suddenly, his body froze.

Bound by these chains, he was currently no different than a mortal with no strength, for a Divine Stage Cultivator like Oberon, controlling his body using Mana was nothing difficult.

"Don't think I will allow you to disrespect me just because you are ignorant and are being fooled by that bitch.

Idiocy is not an excuse."

Oberon spoke with a cold look on his face. A fearsome aura radiated from his body, an Aura that suppressed both Rune and Felix. And Felix, who currently had no strength widened his eyes as he grabbed his throat.

"Kwaaakkk!!"

He was having a hard time breathing. His eyes turned red as his body trembled.

*Step*

Suddenly, Rune stepped in front of him, canceling Oberon's Aura using her own Mana.

Of course, she was nowhere strong enough to stand against her father, however, if it was just canceling his Aura, then by giving her all, she could do it to some extent.

Oberon narrowed his eyes.

"Do you believe his ridiculous story as well?"

He questioned.

"I know you are not trying to kill him, Father. I wouldn't have been able to stop you if you did. Please retract your aura."

Rune spoke with a Pale look on her face.

She had already used 90% of her Mana.

Seeing that his two children couldn't take it anymore, Oberon retracted his aura with a snort.

"Haaaahhh… haaahh… haahhhh…"

Felix gasped for air as he glared at Oberon. Even though he nearly died, there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

He didn't care about his life at all.

He only wanted to kill this bastard in front of him.

"Please tell your side of the story, Father."

Rune, however, was different.

She could sense that something wasn't adding up here.

And seeing that, Oberon snorted as he gave Felix a side-eye.

"At least one of my children is not a complete idiot."

Then, Oberon started,

"What did you say, I had a secret I wanted to hide from the rest of the world? And she found it when she entered my room?

If I actually had something to hide, do you think my perception is so weak that I wouldn't be able to sense that someone is entering my room?

Or do you think I wouldn't have ordered men to keep watch outside my room, stopping anyone from entering?"

"…"

Felix's expression changed.

Oberon words…

They made sense…I think you should take a look at

His mother couldn't have sneaked up on him no matter how hard she tried… especially when he was alert of his surroundings.

Then… Then why did her mother say that…?

Was she… lying…?

Did Oberon not… attack her?

"Let's even assume that I was a fool and didn't do anything, your mother somehow managed to enter my room and saw my 'secret that I wanted to hide from the world'. Do you think she, who had barely become a Saint, had what it took to run away from me?

Burning her life force? What nonsense!

If burning Life Force was enough to stand against a Divine Stage Cultivator, do you think we would be respected as much as we are? Petty tricks like that don't work against absolute power.

That bitch only managed to escape because she used that damned Artifact!"

Oberon snorted in frustration and hearing his words, Rune's expression changed.

"Managed to escape…?"

She tilted her head as she glanced at Oberon. All this while, Oberon's words made perfect sense.

But managed to escape?

Escape…?

Realizing what he had said, Oberon just sighed,

In the end, he decided to reveal the truth.

"What she said to him was not a complete lie.

I did try to kill Willow, but that was because she killed Ivy." Oberon spoke, his hatred for Willow could be seen clearly.

"Ivy?" Rune tilted her head.

This was the first time she was hearing that name.

"Willow and mine's marriage was decided by our families because of our bloodline, I, as the successor knew my duties and accepted her, and with her family forcing her, she did the same.

However, I never truly loved her.

Ivy, my personal maid was the only love of my life.

I always had this guilt in my heart, for both, Willow and Ivy.

However, what I didn't know was that Willow had a dark heart.

She, who knew the truth about Ivy, oppressed her often, I wanted to stop her, however, Ivy, fearing that it would destroy the family, stopped me every time and silently endured everything.

She thought that if she allowed Willow to abuse her however she wanted, she might forgive me and live her life.

However, the darkness in Willow's heart only continued to grow,

Her target soon shifted.

Rather than Ivy, she decided to target me. I, however, was too strong for her to do anything to me, so she decided to use external help.

Blackheart, a 12 Star Artifact, a poison strong enough to weaken even a Divine Stage Cultivator, she somehow got her hands on it.

Her plan was to weaken me and kill me, Ivy, however, saw her adding the poison to my food.

Willow killed Ivy and even in her last breath, Ivy only cared about me and told me everything with her remaining strength…

Ivy, a mere Sage Stage Cultivator, died while protecting me, a Divine Stage Cultivator."

Oberon spoke with a small smile on his face, his eyes however, weren't smiling, they were moist.

Oberon continued,

"I was enraged. Seeing Ivy's dead body, I attacked Willow, I wanted to capture her, I wanted to know how she got her hands on the Blackheart. I wanted to torture that bitch for killing my Ivy, however, that darned bitch took out another 12 Star Artifact and teleported away."

Oberon then glanced at Felix and,

"The Artifact that you showed to me in the meeting,

That was what she used to run away that day."
