Chapter 251: Gotha's True Identity
Lopez family territory, Griffin Lopez residence.
A barrier spread silently, covering the residence and isolating it from all prying eyes from the outside world.
After coming out of the tiger prison, Griffin Lopez and Vivian have arrived here.
"Please sit down for a while. Thank you for your hard work."
Griffin Lopez gestured to Vivian with his left hand, his face a little pale, and sat down on the chair first.
Vivian stared at Griffin's empty sleeves: "Father, does your hand need treatment?"
"It's cut off at the right time. This way, Stormrage Emperor will be less vigilant towards our Lopez family, which will be beneficial to our future situation." Griffin said.
"My daughter doesn't understand. The three major families have always checked and balanced each other. Your Majesty has never favored any one family. The family has been prosperous for hundreds of years. Why did father take such a risk? Is the throne of the Great Emperor really that important?"
Vivian sat down slowly. Now in front of Griffin, she lacked the majesty of the empress and looked more worried.
"What? After more than ten years of marriage with the emperor, are you starting to side with the emperor?" Griffin glanced at Vivian with a hint of majesty in his eyes.
"How could I support him?" Vivian quickly stood up, walked behind Griffin, and squeezed his shoulders. "It's just that my daughter doesn't understand."
"The Windfury Empire was the most warlike and powerful empire throughout history. However, under the leadership of that idiot, it was repeatedly suppressed by the Caesar and Star-Moon Empires and retreated to the northern border of the Magic Continent. Even the establishment of a new Magician Alliance was led by them. If this continues, the Windfury Empire will sooner or later be divided up by Caesar and Star-Moon."
Griffin paused, and then he became angry.
"That idiot emperor only knows how to practice swordplay and hunting all day long. Isn't it because of the dragon warrior blood in his body that he can achieve what he has today? If it weren't for the power of this blood, the Windfury Empire would not be his!"
"Father, calm down. The bloodline of the Dragon Warrior is passed down from one person to another. We have been planning for decades and have already cut off the inheritance of the bloodline. After the Emperor of Windfury returns, it will be our Lopez family that will take over the empire. There is no need to be anxious."
"Heh, originally there was no rush, but now there are more and more variables."
A hint of gloom flashed across Griffin's eyes as he looked at the closed door.
"If Godzilla hadn't suddenly discovered that Godak was not his biological son and hadn't made wild guesses, he wouldn't have had to die. Only my father and I knew the truth. Could it be that Godak had guessed something?" Vivian stopped what she was doing.
"It's my fault for letting the cat out of the bag in the God's Ruins, but luckily I covered it up with words. Plus, I arranged a new position for him, so he shouldn't have any doubts. I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about the person who appeared next to him."
When Griffin said this, a man wearing a golden mask seemed to appear in front of Vivian's eyes.
"That man is a big brother that Gotha made friends with outside. In the ruins of the gods, he showed his strength to repel demigod-level strongmen. And whenever he looks at me, I always feel guilty. Gotha invited him to our tribe, and I can't drive him away. As long as he is here, we can't confine Gotha."
"Father, there is something I want to tell you.
"Go ahead."
"I have recommended Gotha to your majesty."
"what!"
Hearing this, Griffin stood up, turned around and glared at Vivian, confusion in his eyes.
"Back then, we exchanged his son for the purpose of hiding his bloodline forever, so that the bloodline of the Dragon Warriors would never be continued. Why are you doing this? Even if the bloodline of the Goda Dragon Warriors has not awakened, you are courting disaster by doing this!"
"Don't worry, father. I naturally thought of this when I did this. But I think it is safest to let the dragon warrior bloodline disappear completely rather than confining it to Gotha forever."
Vivian's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Seeing that her father was still furious, she continued:
"The reason why the competition was held earlier this time is not because Your Majesty is anxious, but because more and more monsters from other dimensions have appeared in the hunting grounds of Windwrath City, and there are signs that they can no longer be suppressed. The competition was held earlier, on the one hand, to reassess the strength of the three major families, and on the other hand, Your Majesty wants to borrow the power of the three major families to enter the dimensional rift and clean up the monsters that keep emerging in the other-dimensional space."
Hearing this, Griffin seemed to understand something.
"So you plan to let Goda participate in this imperial competition, and then kill him after Goda enters the other dimension?"
"Yes, that is the best place to kill him. Every time the three major families compete, there will be casualties. The casualties in the battles in the other world against powerful monsters are even more immeasurable. More importantly, if he dies in the other dimension, even if Goda awakens the blood of the dragon warrior, His Majesty will not be able to sense it, and His Majesty will never know that his child is dead."
When Griffin heard this, a gleam of light appeared in his eyes.
"It's a good plan. The reason why we didn't kill Gotha is that we're worried about the mutual induction between the dragon warriors' bloodlines. Your Majesty naturally can't go to another dimension, so another dimension is the best place to start. Vivian, you're more adventurous than your father, but this method is indeed feasible!"
"Father agrees, that's great. As for the eldest brother that Goda recognized, father doesn't have to worry. He is not from one of the three major families and cannot go to the battlefield in the other dimension."
"Okay, don't let anyone else know about what happened today. Don't let Goda and Emperor Fury of the Wind have too much contact during the future duel in front of the emperor. They are father and son, and we're afraid they might fall in love with each other."
"My daughter understands."
"Well, you still need to inform the Mars and Orlando families. You don't have to stay at home for long. Your eldest brother and I will take care of the rest."
"Well, then my daughter left first."
Griffin sat on the chair for a while after watching Vivian leave. Only after he sensed that Vivian had left the barrier did he remove it.
……
: At this time, above Griffin's residence, in a thick cloud, two figures had been standing for a long time.
"The woman is gone."
Lin Feng saw Griffin's barrier being removed and turned to look at Gotha beside him.
He had shared everything he had just heard with Gotha in real time, and the sound of silence at this moment was deafening.
"I am actually the son of the Stormrage Emperor?"
The sadness on Gotha's face had been replaced by shock after hearing the information.
He never imagined that the blood flowing in his veins was not that of the Lopez family, and that his existence was a victim held hostage by the Lopez family in order to seize power in the Windfury Empire!
It turns out that this is the "secret" that Griffin mentioned!
At this moment, Gotha's feelings for the Lopez family disappeared!
Everything is a game, and he is just a pawn!
Lin Feng looked at the angry Goda. He could understand Goda's feelings at this moment, but he couldn't really empathize with him.
He now understood whose blood flowed in Gotha's body. There were not many people in the world who had such a strong swordsman's talent. What he didn't expect was that it was the blood of the emperor.
"Goda, just do whatever you want. Even if you want to kill the man below now, I will help you."
Lin Feng said.
"Brother Feng, I don't want to kill him now."
"Oh?"
Lin Feng was stunned. He thought that after being deceived and used, Gotha was driven by anger and took revenge. This guy has always been impulsive and this was no exception.
But now, he saw a calmness in Gotha's eyes that he had never seen before.
"Brother Feng, although I don't know what the dragon warrior bloodline is, I want to awaken the bloodline power in my body first, and then avenge my father personally."
"Your father?"
"Whether Godzilla is my biological father or not, he raised me after all, and he is also a victim. He didn't know. Before he was put in solitary confinement, he always thought I was his biological father. He chased me, he must want to tell me this, he died because of me, I must help him get revenge."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Haven't they already arranged everything? Then I will do as they say. I want to expose their true colors to the emperor and the other two families!"
Lin Feng looked at Gotha calmly.
The strong wind blew Gotha's hair into a mess, but it did not blow away the fighting spirit that was gradually gathering in his eyes at this moment.
The sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines through the ice and snow world below.
The world below is clearly divided.
The entire Lopez family building was buried under the shadow of the clouds.
Only outside that wall was the sun shining.
