Husband Returns home has a Supreme God

CHAPTER 8

Rose spoke up quickly, her voice stronger now as she defended Alex in front of everyone.

“He's right. Alex is definitely an awakener.”

All she wanted in this moment was to be reunited with Alex, to have her family back together again, her man, her husband. And thankfully, that dream could actually become reality now that everyone had seen proof that Alex possessed real power. She would never have been able to marry him again if he was just a normal human. Not with her Golden State energy that could kill regular people. But now that he had proven himself as an awakener, everything had changed.

Henry King nodded his head slowly, his military mind already analyzing what he had witnessed.

“Yes, I agree with Rose. My assessment is that Alex has reached the fifth stage of the Warrior Realm. It's definitely impressive that he learned how to copy one or two of the Dragon King's techniques. But people need to understand something important.”

He paused and looked directly at Alex with a serious expression.

“Using the Dragon King's technique requires a lot of preparation time and energy buildup. If this had been a real battle against a demon that was too strong for a fifth stage warrior to handle, Alex would have been killed before he could even throw that punch.”

Many people in the crowd started nodding their heads as Henry's words sank in. They realized he was absolutely right. Using the Dragon King's techniques would take much longer for someone like Alex compared to how quickly the actual Dragon King could perform them.

Henry walked over and gently placed his hand on Rose's back in what looked like a protective gesture.

“Rose, you need to think about this carefully. He's not strong enough to protect you when real danger shows up. And remember, he already abandoned you once five years ago. What's to stop him from running away again?”

Lewis finally snapped out of the shocked daze he had been in since watching the bell explode. He quickly moved to stand next to Henry, sensing an opportunity to turn things back in his favor.

“Exactly. In a real fight, you won't have time to stand there and build up energy for some copied Dragon King attack. The pressure and chaos of battle will make you mess up even the smallest step in that technique. And if you get it wrong, you're dead.”

He looked directly at Rose with concern in his voice.

“Lady Rose, I think you should really consider this situation before you decide to spend the rest of your life with someone who lied about surpassing the Warrior Realm. He used cheap tricks to fool all of us. If King of War Henry King hadn't spotted what he was really doing, he would have fooled me completely as well.”

The other head commanders stepped forward to join Henry and Lewis, all of them nodding in agreement with what had been said about Alex's limitations.

Rose felt her patience snap. She was getting extremely annoyed with all these men acting like they had some say in her personal life decisions. This was her choice to make, not theirs. They were all talking like they were somehow part of her marriage.

She was about to tell them exactly what she thought when Alex cut her off.

“This event is over. I've already been reunited with my wife.”

Rose jumped on his words immediately, her voice firm and final.

“That's exactly right. This whole gathering is finished now.”

Immediately every single military officer's face went dark with anger and disappointment. Master Lawrence and Mrs. Lawrence looked like someone had just slapped them across the face. They couldn't believe that Alex had managed to worm his way back into Rose's life and make her miserable all over again.

However Henry King was the first to respond, his voice tight with barely controlled rage.

“Very well then.”

He turned to walk toward the exit, but Alex's voice stopped everyone in their tracks.

“I only used my own natural skills just now. This whole theory about me copying someone else's technique is actually pretty interesting to hear.”

Alex's words sent a wave of pure fury through the room. All the head commanders spun around and started shouting at him, insisting there was absolutely no way he could have destroyed that golden bell without using the Dragon King's borrowed technique.

Henry King stopped dead in his tracks and spun around to face Alex directly.

“It's completely obvious that you used the Dragon King's technique. There's no other explanation for what we just saw.”

Lewis quickly backed him up, his voice getting louder with anger.

“You're still clearly in the Warrior Realm, yet you keep claiming you've surpassed it completely. That makes you nothing but a liar.”

Rose couldn't understand why Alex was even bothering to deny what everyone had witnessed. But she wasn't about to let them attack him anymore.

“It doesn't matter what technique he used. This whole argument is pointless now.”

But Alex spoke up before she could say anything else.

“Perhaps the Dragon King is actually the one using my skills.”

The moment those words left his mouth, every face in the room turned dark and ugly. Rose stared at Alex in disbelief. It seemed like he was purposely trying to insult and provoke all the military officers for no good reason.

Henry King stepped forward with fury blazing in his eyes.

“How about we settle this with a duel, Alex? Since you're claiming to be so incredibly powerful.”

Lewis pushed past Henry, eager to get his chance first.

“I'll go before Henry. I want the first shot at you.”

Lewis saw this as the perfect opportunity to beat Alex so badly that Rose would finally consider him as a real option.

Just as he finished speaking, the city alarm started blaring through the air. An urgent announcement followed from a female voice over the speakers.

[Emergency alert: A demon has somehow breached the city defenses and is currently located in the Cliff Area.]

At that moment Rose's eyes went wide with pure terror. She sprinted toward the entrance as fast as her legs could carry her.

“My daughter is in the Cliff Area!”
