My Yandere Wives are Transcendents-Chapter 361: Truth

"Hey, are you still with us?" Eli’s voice was gentle as he tenderly patted Lucian’s bloodied cheeks, his concern evident despite the chaos he caused. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"arrhh," Lucian groaned in agony, his once-handsome features now contorted with pain, his vision obscured by the crimson blood that covered his face.

The brutal beating had left him resembling a shattered statue, his proud and handsome face was now reduced to a mere shadow of its former glory. It was a sight that struck a chord of sorrow in the hearts of onlookers, many of whom had once held him in high esteem.

Some were moved to tears at the sight of their esteemed king brought low by such brutality, their cries echoing through the arena in a mournful lament.

"Sigh," Eli’s exhalation carried a weight of disappointment as he contemplated the lacklustre performance of the kings from both the Dawn and Theos Kingdoms.... They felt like bullshit.

He had anticipated a formidable challenge, a worthy opponent who could push him to his limits, but it seemed that his hopes were in vain.

Eli had only tapped into half of his true power thus far, yet even that seemed to be more than enough to overpower this babbling mouthful of idiots.

It seemed that Mariel’s assessment of Lucian’s weakness was indeed accurate, to the point where she could toy with him as if he were a mere plaything.... He only kept living due to sentinal otherwise Mariel would have already killed him!!

Sighing once more, he refocused his attention on Carter, who had finally managed to heal his son. As he glanced over at Lucian, it was evident that Lucian needed some time to gather himself. Moving towards Carter, he intended to offer his support, but before he could reach them...

"Yes"

"Hmm?" Eli’s curiosity piqued as he tilted his head, meeting Carter’s smile with a questioning gaze.

Carter, cradling his unconscious son, spoke with a weighty tone, "Yes, Lucian and I were indeed planning to seize the mythical beast you hold, intending to force you into combat against Hero and my own son."

The revelation elicited gasps of shock from the gathered crowd. All eyes turned to Carter and Lucian, their disbelief palpable, especially directed towards Lucian, whose once pristine reputation now appeared to be crumbling.

Snapping out of his daze, Lucian erupted in protest, urgency evident in his tone, "W-What absurdity is this? You cannot seriously fabricate such lies merely to save yourself!" With haste, he administered a high-level healing potion to repair his disfigured face, addressing the crowd fervently, "D-Do not be deceived, my people! Carter has been forced into falsehoods by this malevolent force.

Witness the torment we endured, with the Vampire Queen looking on with a mocking grin! She must be behind this everything!!"

This is clearly their plan!! They were tryi--PUFF!!" Before Lucian could conclude his plea, an abrupt interruption silenced him as something impaled his back with deadly precision.

Gazing downward, he observed with a mix of horror and fascination that three teeth of the trident were on the brink of piercing through, almost protruding from back to front, while a crimson stream of blood flowed unabated from his mouth and the numerous wounds that adorned his body.

"You can bullshit whatever you want...." Eli’s voice dripped with mild annoyance as he interrupted, before turning his attention back to Carter with a dismissive wave of his hand, continuing with a tone of impatience, "....but save it until this elderly gentleman here has concluded his discourse."

Eli crouched down gracefully, his movements fluid yet filled with latent menace, as he commanded, "Go on!" His gaze remained fixed on his son, a silent warning simmering beneath the surface.

As a sense of foreboding settled once more in the pit of Carter’s stomach, he berated himself for the predicament he found himself in, the weight of responsibility heavy on his shoulders. It was evident from Eli’s steely resolve that he was unyielding in his intent to eliminate his own flesh and blood that lying unconscious....

Yet, despite the imminent danger, Carter’s paternal instincts kicked in, compelling him to protect his legacy at all costs.

To Carter, this dire circumstance presented itself as just another obstacle in the tumultuous journey of life. With his unwavering determination to ensure the survival of himself and his son... he resolved to adopt a submissive stance before the mortal.

"I took advantage of the fortuitous demise of my brother, a demise inexplicably intertwined with your own actions.

Leveraging this opportunity, I manipulated you into staking the Mythical Beast, employing the esteemed Hero of Theos Kingdom, Kayden, as a mere pawn in my intricate scheme. Under the guise of evaluating your prowess, Kayden meticulously recorded your skills with the artifact bestowed upon me by Lucian.

Subsequently, positioning my son as your final opponent, we orchestrated a strategic offensive, exploiting the recorded insights to mount a formidable counterattack. Read exclusive content at novelbuddy.com

Though the ensuing race may have appeared harmless, it served as a clandestine prelude to our ambush, with the ultimate objective being your defeat, and if circumstances permitted, your death... Such an outcome would ensure that Lucian and I would lay claim to the coveted Mythical Beast," Carter confessed, his voice laced with remorse as he lowered his gaze in shame.

Hanging onto every word that spilled from Carter’s lips, the onlookers found themselves at a loss for an immediate response. Confusion reigned as they grappled with the unsettling truth unravelling before them. Their collective desire for the downfall of the nefarious Asher Eli was palpable, yet the revelation of Carter’s duplicitous actions left them feeling utterly repulsed.

Not only had he callously manipulated the esteemed Hero of Theos Kingdom for his own gain, but he had also shamelessly exploited the memory of his deceased brother as a mere bargaining chip.

Kayden’s features contorted in a mixture of shock and disgust, his countenance mirroring the turmoil raging within him. The revelation struck him like a physical blow, causing his blood to boil with indignation.

"See, I told you so," Richard’s voice dripped with irritation, his earlier warnings now vindicated by the unfolding truth.

As the weight of betrayal settled heavily upon him, Kayden struggled to contain the surge of pain and anger coursing through his veins. He felt as though he had been used as a disposable pawn, discarded and discarded with callous disregard.

Who was he, if not a revered HERO?

He was a fucking HERO!!

"How dare he?!" Kayden seethed with righteous fury, his fists clenched in impotent rage.

Observing Kayden’s visceral reaction, Rock shook his head in dismay, his disappointment palpable.... this was the reason, Rock never considered Kayden as a good candidate for her daughter.

As Rock’s gaze remained fixed on the ground, his curiosity continued to swell, fueled by an insatiable desire to witness the actions of his prospective son-in-law unfold before him.

Meanwhile, Eli’s brow furrowed in a deepening scowl as he addressed Carter with a tone laced with suspicion, "Anything else?"

Caught off guard by the intensity of Eli’s inquiry, Carter stammered in response, "Uh, th-that’s all."

Eli’s frown intensified as he seized hold of Theo’s leg, his expression devoid of emotion as he repeated his question with chilling indifference, "Anything else?"

The coldness in Eli’s voice sent shivers down Carter’s spine, prompting him to hastily shake his head, "N-No, that’s all! Please, leave my son alone!!!" His voice trembled with fear as he pleaded for mercy, his desperation palpable as he recoiled from Eli’s ominous demeanour, reminiscent of a devil.

"Hmm..." Eli nodded thoughtfully, his gaze piercing as he scrutinized Carter’s demeanour for any signs of deception. Satisfied with what he perceived as Carter’s genuine response, Eli muttered under his breath, "That narrows down the list of suspects."

"W-We can leave, right?" Carter’s voice trembled with hope as he cast a pleading glance at Eli, a flicker of anticipation igniting within him.

He vowed silently to exact a vengeance threefold for the humiliation he endured, reserving a special place of wrath for the Vampire Queen, whose treachery had condemned them to this solitary hell. She would pay dearly for orchestrating their isolation, ensuring that no guards dared to intervene on their behalf.

With grim determination etched upon his features, Carter swore to kill this bastard and ensure that the world remembered not to trifle with him so easily again.

However, reality proved to be a merciless foe.

"Yes, you can leave.... but not until I’ve tamed you..." Eli’s voice dripped with malice as he callously discarded the unconscious form of Theo, a mere pawn in his twisted game. With a sadistic grin, he seized Carter by the neck, relishing in the fear that danced across his captive’s features.

"Let’s see how your son begs for you..." Eli’s sinister grin widened as his reddish-black pupils bore into Carter’s terrified soul, his hand veering towards his rear with ominous intent.

"DIE, YOU BASTARD!!"
