The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 768 - No Longer Part Of Warriors



The moment Liam asked his fellow guardian warriors about what happened to them, the room was engulfed with deafening silence.

No one wanted to speak up first. Calec and Shino simply looked at Mheera. They didn't know whether to say the truth or not. They still wanted to obey Mheera.

They had talked to her while Liam and Riyu were treating Shiba. Calec already informed Mheera that they failed to kill the demon god as his power returned.

He had become powerful. They couldn't match up with him. Mheera felt disappointed upon hearing the news. She somehow blamed herself for being reckless. But the most important thing was that no one died among the group.

Mheera already warned Calec and Shino not to tell Liam that she already knew about the demon god and that she was the one who planned on eliminating the demon god.

But on the other hand, Riyu was already dying to tell everything to Liam. She appreciated Liam's effort in healing them despite the fact they were the ones who brought this upon themselves.

Riyu felt guilty for hiding something from Liam. He was still their guardian leader. He had the right to know the truth.

After the long silence, Riyu suddenly kneeled in front of Liam. Mheera, Shino, and Calec didn't expect her to do that.

Mheera gave Riyu a warning look as if telling her not to say a word. But Riyu avoided meeting Mheera's gaze. 

She felt sorry for not obeying Mheera this time. But she felt indebted to Liam. Because of him, they were all alive. Shiba was alive.

"Guardian lord! The four of us came here to search for you. But we happened to meet the demon god…"

Liam frowned at her words. 'They met the demon god? But how?'

"We tried to eliminate him but we were defeated…" Riyu clenched her fists as she recalled the fight in Mt. Satari.

"We thought we were going to die in his hands… but for some unknown reason, he didn't do it. He just gave us a warning not to mess with his family again."

Liam still couldn't believe it. As far as he knew Zu Wan still didn't have magical power. And he wondered how Riyu and others met the demon god.

Something was missing in her story. He was not satisfied so he asked her again.

"How did you meet him? Where did you fight him? Are you sure that person is the demon god?"

Mheera narrowed her eyes at Riyu. She already expected that Liam would keep on asking them until he found out what happened.

"We fought him… in Mt. Satari. Yes, he is the demon god. I'm sorry my Lord… but we used a mother and a daughter to lure him into the mountain," Riyu admitted the truth.

Liam gritted his teeth, not happy about what he had just heard. He knew she was referring to Ella and Titania.

"Why did you do that?!!" Liam raised his voice, sending shivers down their spine. They could tell that Liam was now furious. A chilly aura was emanating from him.

Riyu was tongue-tied. She didn't know what to say to appease their angry guardian leader. Calec and Shino lowered their gaze as they couldn't look straight into Liam's eyes.

"What are you all thinking?! Fighting a demon god? Eliminating the demon god using innocent people as sacrifices?! Are you really a guardian warrior?!"

"Guardian warriors are supposed to protect people, not a selfish murderer! So you are willing to involve innocent people just to kill the demon god. So what's the difference between you and the demon god?!!" 

Liam hated the fact that they acted impulsively. They tried to kill Zhen-Zhen's father again while using Ella and Titania as hostages.

If Zu Wan didn't regain his power back, then he might have been killed by his fellow guardian warriors. How would he explain this to Zhen-Zhen? Another group of guardian warriors appeared, targeting Zhen-Zhen's only family.

He knew there was a deeper story behind this.

"Tell me everything! I know you are all hiding something from me!" Liam pressured them.

But Mheera could no longer stay quiet.

"Why are you getting mad, Liam? They just did what they had to do as guardian warriors!" Mheera insisted that they did the right thing, defending them from Liam.

Liam glanced at Mheera with disbelief.

"How many times do I have to tell you, Mheera? There is no need to kill the demon god! Why aren't you listening to me? Don't tell me you had something to do with this? Did you lie to me? Did you hide this from me? You already knew that they were here!"

Mheera laughed dryly. She could no longer hide her frustrations.

"Why are you protecting our enemies, Liam? You are the one who betrayed us first! You are the one who lied to me first and hid the truth about the demon god's daughter!"

Mheera walked closer to Liam. She wanted to let it all out now.

"Why? Did that demoness bewitch you? Did you fall for her beauty and now you are trying to protect her from us? You don't have the right to get mad at us since we are just doing our job! Killing them both is our main goal in coming here, remember?! Have you forgotten that already, Guardian Lord?!"

Liam and Mheera were now arguing in front of the other guardian warriors. Liam had to admit that he was surprised that Mheera already knew the truth.

Now he could connect the dots. Mheera was the one who planned all of this, attacking Zu Wan behind his back.

Mheera was no longer listening to him. She just wanted to do what she thought was right. She didn't respect his decision as her guardian leader.

Liam didn't expect that Mheera would steep so slow as this. For goodness' sake, she tried to repeat the same mistake of their ancestors by using the innocent mother and child.

"Mheera, you just proved to me that I shouldn't come back and continue being a guardian warrior. Starting today, I am no longer your leader! Let's sever our connection."

Calec, Shino, and Riyu were taken aback when they heard that. No one wanted this. They didn't want Liam to leave his position as guardian leader.

Mheera was rendered speechless. She also didn't expect that Liam would decide to leave the guardian warriors.

"Guardian lord, please don't do this!" Riyu begged him.

"We need you, Guardian Lord. Please don't leave us!" Calec also said his plea.

"Guardian Lord, please reconsider your decision," Shino also spoke up.

Liam looked at them with his dark expression. "I already made myself clear. But no one wanted to respect my decision. I'm not doing this for my sake. I didn't betray anyone! I just discovered the truth that the demon god and his daughter are not evil."

"The old self of the demon god is not innocent! But he already paid for his crime! This war should have ended a long time ago. But here we are again, trying to disrupt the peaceful life of the demon god and his daughter! They are already living in peace here!"

"I witnessed using my own eyes how kind and pure-hearted the demon god's daughter was. Can't you see? Even the demon god spared your lives! Now, tell me. Am I wrong with my judgment?!! Am I?"

The other guardian warriors couldn't say a word. Mheera just looked at him with her angry expression. She hated the way Liam was siding on their enemies.

Mheera already closed her mind, her eyes, and her ears. She refused to believe that the demon god and Zhen-Zhen were capable of doing good. For her, they were still evil creatures that she needed to eliminate. 

She was so stubborn as hatred and jealousy already clouded her mind. She couldn't distinguish right from wrong.

"You are just saying this because you fell in love with the demon god's daughter! Liam! Wake up! You are under her spell!" Mheera screamed desperately.

"Come back to us!" She added.

Liam shook his head. "I am not under her spell! I might have fallen for her. But it's not because I was bewitched… but because I saw how good and how amazing she was as a person."

Liam didn't deny the fact that he had feelings for Zhen-Zhen. He gave them one shock after another. Mheera was fuming in rage as Liam was firm to his words.

"You can stay here until your wounds get better. But I am reiterating. I am no longer part of guardian warriors. I will do what I think is right. Nothing will be able to change my mind this time!" Liam declared to them.

"Liam! You will regret this! I will make sure you will regret this!" Mheera threatened him.

"No Mheera. I will not regret this."

Mheera pushed Liam so hard before she marched out of the room. She couldn't stay there anymore.. Her heart was filled with hatred and bitterness.
