"How dare you!" Ares was completely enraged.
But his anger was limited to roaring; he did nothing of substance.
"Ah, yes! I'm quite bold!" Lin Mo shrugged without any sign of panic. "Otherwise, why would I have come to Quil City all by myself?"
"Damn it, did I praise you?" Ares thought to himself.
To be honest, there have been countless moments when Ares had murderous intent.
He harbored a murderous intent that wished he could tear Lin Mo to pieces.
But each time, such murderous intent comes quickly and goes just as quickly.
In that instant, all killing intent vanished.
"What exactly happened?" Ares couldn't help but ask. "I really want to kill you, but I just can't bring myself to do it..."
"Hahaha!" Lin Mo strode forward and patted Ares on the shoulder. "Because we are father and son, blood is thicker than water."
"A father and son?" Ares was shocked, and everyone else was even more shocked.
Is this Lin Mo the illegitimate son of Ares, the lord of Quill City?
Ares's mouth dropped open, his face filled with disbelief. "Then who is your mother?" he asked.
The gods in Greek mythology have incredibly complicated relationships.
First, Gaia, the goddess of the earth, gave birth to Uranus, the primordial god of the sea, mountains, and sky. Gaia then married her son Uranus, and they had three Cyclopes, three Hecatoncheires, and twelve Titans—six men and six women.
Then this sky god Uranus married one of the Titan goddesses, Rhea, and they had a whole bunch of children.
Afterwards, Cronus was very worried that one day he would be killed by his own children like his father, so he made a decision to eat all his children, one by one.
His wife Rhea could not accept all of this, so when she gave birth to her sixth child, she switched the child with a stone and made Cronus eat the stone, while she hid the child, who later became the god Zeus.
After that, Zeus defeated his father, married his sister Hera, and had a large number of children.
Ares was one of the many children.
Ares, the god of war, clearly inherited the excellent bloodline of his father and grandfather, engaging in promiscuous relationships and fathering children indiscriminately.
Therefore, when Lin Mo used the phrase "father and son," he subconsciously thought that Lin Mo was a bloodline he had accidentally conceived one night!
To Ares' utter surprise, Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, "What, you don't even remember your own grandmother?"
"What? My grandmother?" Ares was completely bewildered. "Gaia, the goddess of the earth? How could I not remember her!"
"Oh, so you do know that!" Lin Mo laughed.
"You!" Ares almost cursed. "You bastard, you're taking advantage of me! You actually said you were my father?"
At this moment, Ares's face was contorted with rage, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.
"I...I'm going to...kill them..."
Ares trembled as he reached for his waist and drew his short sword.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't swing his right hand, which was bulging with veins!
Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, I even wanted to kill myself for you!"
"You..." Ares was on the verge of collapse!
"Lord of the city, hack him to death!"
"Yes, this guy is incredibly rude!"
However, in the next instant, Lin Mo delivered a resounding slap to everyone's face in a way that no one could have predicted.
He raised his right hand and, with lightning speed, slapped Ares across the face.
A crisp "snap" echoed through the hall.
A clear five-finger mark appeared on Ares' face. His expression froze, clearly caught off guard by the sudden slap.
"If you don't dare to make a move, then stop yelling!" After Lin Mo finished hitting Ares, his mocking words were like a cold sword, piercing straight into Ares' heart.
The atmosphere inside the hall froze instantly, as if even the air itself had stopped moving.
"He...he actually did it!"
"How dare he assault our lord!"
"It's true, Lin Mo, he really did slap Ares."
The crowd was abuzz with discussion, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief.
Ares's face was contorted so badly it was almost unrecognizable. His eyes widened, and he pointed a trembling finger at Lin Mo. "You...you!"
Lin Mo, however, wore a disdainful and indifferent expression. He glanced at Ares and sneered, "Isn't it only natural for a father to beat his son?"
The words caused an uproar. People began to discuss them, their faces showing disbelief.
"He said that after he finished hitting her?" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"That's outrageous!"
However, Lin Mo seemed unconcerned about the crowd's reactions. He stroked his chin, as if deep in thought. Then, he looked up at Ares, a cold smile playing on his lips. "To hit you in front of your subordinates would be too disrespectful!"
He paused, then continued, "How about this, we'll play again next time we get home!"
Ares, “…”
Everyone gasped, "!!!"
"My lord, this..."
Everyone was filled with doubt. Could they really tolerate this? Their gazes shifted between Ares and Lin Mo, as if they could feel the intense tension in the air.
Ares's eyes seemed to spit fire; if looks could kill, Lin Mo would probably already be torn to pieces. His gaze was like that of a raging beast, filled with anger and ferocity.
