Husband Returns home has a Supreme God

CHAPTER 1

“Head Commander Lewis Brown has arrived. He seeks an audience with Lady Rose of the Lawrence family.”

The moment those words rang out, three men in sharp military uniforms walked into the grand hall. Their boots clicked against the marble floor with each step. Lewis Brown led the way while his two men followed close behind him. Both servants gripped golden boxes in their hands, the metal catching the light from the chandeliers above.

Every person in that room couldn't help themselves but turned to look. Heads nodded with respect when they saw the head commander's uniform. Most of them had expected this moment to come. After all, Lady Rose was bringing something special to the table tonight. A woman like her deserved attention from the highest ranks in the military.

Lewis walked toward the platform with his chest pushed out and shoulders pulled back. Pride practically rolled off him in waves. Everyone could see he knew exactly how important he was in this room full of people. His uniform bore the marks of his high position, and he wore them like a crown.

At that moment he stopped right at the edge of the platform where Lady Rose stood waiting. Without breaking eye contact with her, he dropped down to one knee. His voice carried across the silent hall when he spoke.

“I, Head Commander Lewis Brown, pay my respects to the lady of the Lawrence family. I have come here tonight to ask for your hand in marriage. These gifts I brought are the most expensive treasures anyone could dream of bringing to an event like this!”

Right after he spoke those words, his two servants stepped forward and opened both golden boxes.

The first box held a shining golden bank card that could be taken to any bank and cashed out for ten million dollars. The second box was bigger than the first one and sparkled with all kinds of golden jewelry inside.

“Those jewelries have got to be worth ten million dollars at least!”

Someone in the crowd shouted out loud enough for everyone to hear. Then Lewis got back up on his feet at that moment and turned toward the voice with a big smile spreading across his face.

“You're wrong about that. They're worth twenty million dollars!”

Immediately he made mention of the amount the whole room exploded with noise. People gasped and started talking all at once. Lewis couldn't stop grinning as he watched everyone's shocked faces. On their side of the platform, Old Master Lawrence and his wife were beaming with joy. Finally, Rose was getting the attention she deserved from someone important. A head commander no less, and this was happening after she had wasted her time having a baby with that worthless man who was dead now.

Old Master Lawrence pushed himself up from his chair. He opened his mouth to speak when another voice cut through all the noise in the hall.

“Three star head commander William Hendrix would like to seek an audience with Lady Rose of the Lawrence family.”

The entire hall buzzed with shock. Nobody had expected a three star head commander to show up tonight. Now Lady Rose had two powerful men fighting for her attention.

Immediately Lewis felt his stomach drop when he heard those words. His face went dark as storm clouds. He couldn't believe someone with higher rank than him wanted Rose too. This whole thing would come down to money now, and he knew it. He glanced down at his golden boxes and tried to pump himself up. The gap between them wasn't that huge. He still had a real shot at winning her hand.

But before he could feel good about his chances, another voice boomed through the hall. Actually, three more announcements hit them one right after the other.

“Five star Head Commander Sebastian Rowan seeks an audience with Lady Rose. He brings a golden card worth one hundred million dollars to the table.”

Immediately Every mouth in that room dropped open. People started whispering and pointing. One hundred million dollars was more money than most of them would see in ten lifetimes.

The second announcement followed right behind the first one, but the words got lost in all the noise and excitement filling the air.

Then the final announcement cut through everything like a knife. The whole hall went dead silent. Even the air seemed to get colder.

“King of War Henry King seeks an audience with Lady Rose.”

Every single person in that room turned their heads toward the entrance. Lewis, the three star commander, the five star commander, and everyone else who had been making noise just seconds before. All eyes locked on those big doors, waiting to see the man who held the one of the most feared title in the entire military.

Henry King walked into the hall like he owned the entire world. Something about the way he moved made everyone feel small without him even trying. He didn't have servants following behind him. No golden boxes in his hands. Nothing. But somehow that made him seem even more powerful than all the other commanders combined.

“Lady Rose, you have done quite well for yourself. Getting your body to the second level of Golden State of Temperance takes real work. Sleeping with you would make me three times stronger than I am right now. I have decided I will marry you.”

His voice carried across the room even though he was still standing far from the platform. Rose's face twisted with anger when those words hit her ears. But her father and everyone else in that hall looked thrilled. Heads bobbed up and down all around the room. People nudged each other with their elbows and smiled.

“He's just saying what we're all thinking anyway. The King of War is being honest about why he wants her!”

Henry heard all the support coming his way. It was nothing new to him. People always backed whatever he said or did. Then he let a small smile touch his lips.

“Let's stop wasting time with all this ceremony. We can move straight to the marriage rites right now. My bed at home is getting cold without a woman in it.”

But before anyone could respond to his words, a voice rang out from somewhere behind him.

“She is not going anywhere with you, King of War Henry King. That woman standing up there has already been taken.”

The words hit the room like a bomb. Every head whipped around to see who had the guts to speak against someone as powerful as Henry King. It had to be someone even more important than him.

The announcer's voice cracked slightly when he spoke next.

“Announcement!”
