Chapter 2383


    Chapter 2383 Bad Son


    But then even his daughter added, “Yeah, Father. You said you wouldn’te back until you be


    the strongest man on earth! And you never go back on your promises. Look at that. My father, the


    strongest person on earth.”


    She looked proud of her father, and Edmund was the same as well. Or even more so than his sister.


    After all, he had dreamed of the day where his father became the strongest man on earth. And now his


    dream had finallye true. His father had be the strongest.


    He could imagine himself doing whatever he wanted without any fear or fervor. Edmund had to look out


    for a lot of people before this, worried that they might attack him once they had the advantage. But now


    that his father was back, he didn’t have to fear anyone anymore.


    Ahem! Ahem!


    The divine brigadier kept coughing as his son kept bbering on. He started trembling, and eventually,


    he started to shake.


    Every time they said he was the strongest man on earth, he’d have to cough. In the end, he couldn’t


    stop coughing. His face was red, and his tears kept streaming down his cheeks.


    “What’s wrong, Father?”


    “What’s wrong, divine brigadier, sir?”


    Everyone quickly gathered around and asked him what was happening.


    “I… Ahem… I’m fine…” He kept coughing despite saying that. Nobody had ever imagined seeing an


    invincible warrior like the divine brigadier coughing so violently, but now they were seeing that for


    themselves.


    He’s not gonna die from the coughs, right?


    If anyone found out about this, they’d probablyugh their socks off at how ridiculous that was.


    Invincible? Yeah, I thought so too before I came back.


    If hepared his current strength against all the fighters in the new era, his power would be


    unmatched.


    After all, he managed to defeat Dark Emperor easily, and she was number one on the Divine


    Leaderboard. In theory, he was the strongest fighter in the world.


    The Divine Leaderboard was the absolute authority in the world of fighters. Dark Emperor managed to


    beat everyone easily, so she was undefeatable, theoretically speaking.


    But even so, Dark Emperor lost out to him for many years, so by extension, he was the strongest


    fighter on earth, not her.


    The divine brigadier knew all the fighters in Erudia, including the ones in the shadows, Eragon, and The


    Cardinal Hall.


    But he was still the strongest even when he waspared to them, so he decided toe back to


    The Cardinal Hall.


    Since he heard that Dark Emperor had made her appearance in Erudia, he went to look for her. To his


    surprise, he actually managed toe face to face with her, but she defeated him with a single punch.


    He was no match for her. She was far more powerful than him in terms of strength and speed, and he


    couldn’t even find any openings to defeat her.


    In the end, he admitted defeat, and that was the most humiliating day in his life.


    He had been a prodigy since he was a child, and everyone had high hopes on him. All his life, he only


    wanted to be the strongest fighter around, to stand on the top of this world.


    But he lost. Horribly. He was powerless against his old enemy, and he couldn’t even begin to describe


    how disappointed he was in himself.


    Strongest? What a joke! I almost got myself killed the moment I came back! I would still be severely


    injured if not for my medicine.


    “Alright, enough. I’m fine,” the divine brigadier quickly told them after he snapped out of it.


    “Good to know! I’ll tell everyone about your return! And they’ll all know you’re now undefeatable. Let’s


    see how they like that!” Edmund immediately dered.


    It was The Cardinal Hall’s biggest news over thest few decades, and the biggest news of Erudia. Of


    course, he’d spread it as far and wide as possible.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    But the moment he heard that, the divine brigadier coughed and staggered backward again, this time


    almost falling down.


    Undefeatable? Can you stop with that already? Undefeatable, my foot! And what did you just say? Do


    you want to tell everyone about it? Are you dumb?


    The divine brigadier could feel his sanity snap, and he almost had a heart attack on the spot.


    This stupid boy! He’s as dumb as bricks! Why did he have to say that?


    That was the most humiliating day of his life, but everyone thought it was the best day ever. To make


    things worse, they kept bringing it up, and they were even going to tell the world about it.


    If they actually did that, the divine brigadier would die from embarrassment.


    Can you guys just stop? For god’s sake, just stop!


    And then, someone from The Manifest Court asked, “Oh, did you juste out of a fight, divine


    brigadier?”


    The divine brigadier really felt like killing himself now.


    And there they go again.


    “I… Well… Yes, I did,” he admitted to it. After all, he couldn’t hide it from The Manifest Court even if he


    wanted to.
