The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Renee’s unusual reaction stunned everyone in the room, especially Justin. He did not expect that she would react that way at all.

‘Are you sure about having the two families go to war?” He raised his eyebrows and asked mischievously.

‘Of course!” Renee continued enthusiastically. “My grandfather always hoped that one day I could follow in his footsteps and lead an army into battle myself. If the Baldwin and Hunt families are bound to fight, whether it’s in business or war, I want to be the one to lead! Anyway, I also have a deep grudge against the Hunt family, and I hate Stefan so much that I long for a life-and-death duel with him!’

“Fantastic! You really are something, young lady.” Austin stroked his beard and laughed heartily. “You are indeed the granddaughter of General Everheart – so confident and strong-willed. You are much better than my unworthy grandson! Justin, you should learn from Ren. If you are always giving in, how can you protect her in the future? Maybe she’ll have to protect you.”

Sophia glared at her son, extremely dissatisfied with his cowardice.

Justin tugged on Renee’s coat and hissed in her ear, “What the hell are you doing? I had just fixed things! My grandfather and father were fooling around, but you actually agreed with their silly idea. Are you really thinking of starting a war?”

Renee laughed. “Stop acting like a peacemaker – you were the one who shamelessly threatened to expose my identity as Phoenix to Stefan if I did not join in the battle against the Hunt family, but now, you’re the one who’s withdrawing?”

“I was just trying to find out about your relationship with Stefan Hunt and his family. From what I see, you really care about them, but with you behaving like this now, I feel like there’s some kind of conspiracy going on!” Justin hugged Renee’s shoulders and rested his forehead against hers as he spoke so as to not raise suspicion.

Finally, he murmured, “Don’t try to trick my grandfather or father to make the two families have a truce or collaborate from within. It’ll be very troublesome if my grandfather discovers your schemes, and even I may not be able to save you then!”

“Hahaha!” Renee did not say anything and smiled brightly, acting as if she and Justin were very lovey- dovey.

Austin smiled happily and said to Jack and Sophia, “I take back what I just said – this kid is very promising. He found an excellent wife who will bring fortune to the family. I’m sure the future of the Baldwin family will be bright with her around!”

Renee suddenly said, “Grandpa Baldwin, as my grandfather’s good friend and subordinate, you should know about his habit before he goes into battle, right?”

Austin frowned and shook his head. “What is it? I can’t remember.”

“Before he leads an army to war, he would worship the sky, the earth, and the God of War!”

’The God of War?” Austin was even more confused. “I’ve seen him worship the sky and the earth, but I’ve never heard him mentioning the God of War.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

’That’s only natural since it’s his secret to victory.” Renee explained slowly after arousing everyone’s interest. “There was a stone statue of the God of War at the far end of the South Sea. Grandpa grew up believing in the God of War, so whenever there were any important battles coming, he would

personally go to the South Sea to worship the god and receive blessings so that he could defeat his enemies!”

’Is there really such a thing?” Austin thought hard but could not recall when Maurice had ever worshipped the God of War.

’There is. Grandpa did not tell anyone, so nobody knows except for members of the Everyheart family,” Renee sighed and said, “This time, I want to lead the army and fight against the Hunt family in place of the Baldwin family. Thus, I hope that we can all follow this custom and go to the South Sea now to ask the mighty God of War for his blessings to win!”
