Chapter 61 There Was No Other Choice
If it hadn't jogged his memory, Fergus would've almost forgotten that the old man always claimed to be the 28th generation successor of Aguguq, making Fergus the 29th in line.
Just hearing the name made Fergus miss the old man. 'Where did he go? Did he go back to prison to find me?'
He looked down and asked, "Do you know about it?"
"Yes, yes!" Bigfoot nodded like crazy. "Of course, I know the great Aguguq. I was wrong, please forgive me, I was wrong."
"If I had known you were from Aguguq, I would've never dared to be so bold. I was wrong." He kept begging for mercy.
Others might not know the power of Fergus' thrust of his palm, but Bigfoot knew it could knock his soul out.
Fergus felt a bit helpless; turns out it was an "acquaintance." The old man did say Aguguq was the greatest, but it had fallen into decline. By this generation, only two people were left.
Then he said, "Given your bad intentions, I'll see to it that you're crippled for fifty years. And for daring to insult me, I'll make it sixty years more, adding up to a total of one hundred and ten years."
He slapped Bigfoot on the head.
The black aura around Bigfoot faded a bit.
Bigfoot didn't hold a grudge. "Thank you, thank you."
After saying that, he quickly fled into the mountains.
"God!"
"A living god!"
"Please, God, bless me!"
The believers snapped out of it, knelt down to give thanks, and regretted their earlier words. If they had known Fergus was so powerful, why would they worship Rocky? They should have worshipped Fergus directly!
Fergus couldn't be bothered with them and said coldly, "I'm not a god, and I can't help you. Worshipping me is useless."
"You are a god!" One believer said, "God, I was wrong earlier. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Others chimed in, "We'll replace the statue with yours and worship you from now on!"
Fergus shook his head and said, "If you are sincere in the quest for a happier life, why not show more kindness and patience to your own family who could be your greatest source of support and happiness? That's more useful than worshipping anyone else."
After saying this, Fergus felt a bit down. He had been dependent on his mentor since childhood and didn't even know who his parents were.
He stopped thinking about it and walked towards Tyler, who was pretending to be dead. "Get up and kneel to apologize!"
Tyler kept his eyes closed, lying motionless on the ground, wishing he could disappear immediately. He had suspected Fergus was powerful back at Plot 140, but he never imagined Fergus was this formidable!
"Not getting up?" Fergus smiled faintly. "Xavier, poop on his head!"
Pretending to be dead had its countermeasures.
Xavier was a bit confused. But seeing Fergus' expression, it seemed he was serious!
After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly unbuckled his belt. Since Fergus had spoken, he had to squeeze out something.
"Don't you dare!" Tyler quickly opened his eyes and said nervously, "Fergus, don't think you're invincible just because you have some skills. In this society, money talks. Tonight is my wedding night, and Tarynville's elite are here."
"Cut the crap, are you going to kneel or not?" Fergus interrupted coldly.
Tyler looked at Xavier, who was ready to go, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll kneel!"
He immediately fell to his knees.
Fergus withdrew his gaze and turned to leave. He had noticed the lamps in the room were about a hundred years old, which would suffice. He took the lamps and left.
Xavier followed beside him. "Mr. Yost, are you just going to let Tyler go?"
After all, Tyler had just tried to kill Fergus.
Fergus smiled. "I would let Tyler go, but would Sophia do? And Hayden? Let them fight each other!"
In the hall.
"You jerk, abandoning your own wife!"
"I've never seen such a shameless guy. Miss, you should dump him, don't marry him. If he's like this today, who knows what he'll do in the future!"
"Exactly, he doesn't deserve you. I think the god is great. If the god likes you, it's your good fortune, you should seize it!"
The believers cursed harshly, and some even spat at Tyler.
"Shut up, all of you shut up!" Tyler's face turned red. He quickly got up and walked to Sophia, forcing a smile. "Sophia, please calm down. You saw the situation just now. If I hadn't yielded, both of us would have been left here. I..."
"Enough!" Sophia's face turned cold again. She looked at Tyler with a mix of unfamiliarity and disgust and said bluntly, "I will not marry a cowardly, incompetent, and dark-hearted man. I'm going home to tell my parents."
"Tonight, the wedding is off!" Sophia said, walking out quickly. When she reached the steps and looked down, she found that Fergus's voice was no longer there. She bit her lip, and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
Because just now, Fergus had never looked at Sophia directly!
"If it weren't for Tyler asking Bigfoot to kill you, would you have saved me? How dare you be so aloof in front of me? Just wait, one day, I'll tear off your facade!" Sophia said angrily.
Two hours later.
"Damn it! Tonight, Sophia was supposed to marry Tyler, and Tyler did such a thing!" Linda was so angry she wanted to confront Tyler.
Sophia sat on the couch, coldly saying, "I will never marry Tyler. The wedding is off!"
Hayden stood nearby, his fists clenched, his face red with anger!
At this moment, the door opened, and Logan walked in with Tyler.
Since the wedding was imminent, there was no need for an announcement.
"You dare to come here?" Hayden was furious and charged forward.
Logan was quicker than Hayden.
He slapped Tyler across the face and angrily said, "You jerk, kneel and apologize!"
Tyler quickly knelt.
Logan clasped his hands and said, "Hayden, I just found out about this and brought this jerk here for you to deal with as you see fit! But no matter how big the issue, it has to wait until after tonight!"
Hearing this, Hayden was also frustrated. The invitations had been sent out, and backing out now would be too embarrassing.
Logan continued, "Hayden, to be honest, I asked many experts on the way here, including top masters in the country, and none of them had heard of Aguguq. I suspect this is all a play by Fergus!"
Hayden frowned.
Sophia gave a cold glance.
"What the hell do you mean?" Linda asked bluntly.
Logan said gravely, "Linda, don't be angry. Things have come to this point, and we are all in a difficult position. Fergus has also taken Plot 140 and is in the spotlight in front of Ms. Gray. He won't let me go, and he won't let you go either! If our marriage alliance fails now, not only will we be unable to deal with Fergus, but after tonight, our reputations will be ruined. I can guarantee that within six months, both of our families will fall from grace!"
Everyone fell silent.
This was the truth!
Logan seized the opportunity and said, "Everything that happened today at the Mountain Shrine was orchestrated by Fergus to drive a wedge between our families. We need to kill Fergus at the wedding! After tonight, you can deal with my ungrateful son however you want, and I won't object! Only this way can we save face and our reputations!"
Ten minutes later, Hayden and Linda both sighed and nodded in agreement. There was no other choice.
