016 TURN HIM INTO A EUNUCH TO END HIS USELESS BLOODLINE
The crowd looked at Lillrune judgingly and he knew that he mis-spoke.
"Lies. All lies."
Lillwo was furious at the accusations. It was indeed rumored that both father and son had many family outings together to the local brothels for bonding although few dared to mention it in the family, until now.
"Which part are lies? The part where your ass got fucked?" Leo asked as the family rose up in murmurings.
This wasn't a family discussion. It was a slugfest of obscene words.
"We don't have room for this kind of language here, son. What have gotten into you", Lillye reprimanded him.
"I didn't", Lillrune protested.
"Oh, sorry. My mistake. You were the one fucking the … donkey", Leo replied as the crowd rose in anger and some in amusement.
"One more time, I warn you again", Lillye warned his son.
"Sorry, you all get the picture..", Leo replied to everyone.
"We have no way to prove who is telling the truth," Lillann stated, frustration creeping into his voice ignoring the heir's rudeness but a smile appeared in a hidden corner of his mouth. This was humiliating for his brother Lillwo and he wasn't unhappy about it.
"We can't just let this slide. The family spent a thousand Silver Dinaris to retrieve the heir. Someone must be held accountable," Lillwo said sternly.
"Yes, the family invested so much to save him; someone must answer for this."
"We cannot have someone like him as our heir."
"It would be better to strip him of his title as punishment."
Lillye, the Four Star General, the leader of the Gullee House was visibly troubled.
Everyone knew Lilleo was not the most responsible character, and few would believe his words against Lillrune, a promising family member with numerous accomplishments. If Lillye didn't protect him, Lilleo risked losing his status as the heir.
As Lillye thought of ways to protect his son, his son doesn't seem to need his help.
"I can't be held accountable for the family's expenses in finding me. I already informed the family that I would be gone for a month for special training, I am faultless, claim it from the donkey ass kisser," Leo argued his hand pointing at Lillrune.
"I don't even like donkeys or asses!!! … Father, bring up the other matters!" Lillrune suddenly shouted to Lillwo impatiently, breaking the tense shouting fest.
"Bring up the 'Ass'? Hahaha," Leo added and laughed.
"What other issues?" the family members gossiped among themselves.
There were indeed other issues that Lillrune and his father, Lillwo, were eager to address the Hall regarding Lilleo.
It wasn't difficult to guess what they were.
Upon his return to the city, Leo assaulted a city guard, leaving him grievously injured, and the guard was demanding compensation from the family. Then there was the incident with the slave trader in the streets of Gomora, where Leo had not only robbed him but also stolen his rightful slave. That trader had come to the Gullee family seeking reparation as well.
Leo braced himself for these accusations, knowing they would be raised in this meeting.
To Leo's surprise, Lieutenant General Lillwo spoke up but didn't immediately address Leo's other misdemeanors—at least, not yet.
"That cunning bastard", Leo murmured to himself.
It was a strategic move, there was no need for Lillwo to reveal all their cards at once. He would leave those cards to be used at the appropriate time which produces the most result. This wasn't the time yet.
"We can't determine the truth of either confession, as only these two know what happened. However, there is one way to find out. Lilleo mentioned that he learned magic from a master, and we can test him to see if that claim holds water. If the heir is indeed truthful about that, it might lend credibility to his words. But if those claims are false, we can't trust anything you say," Lillwo opined to the family gathering.
Leo merely clapped.
The crowd murmured amongst themselves, weighing the implications but most of them agreed with Lieutenant General Lillwo.
"To prove my honesty, I challenge the retard donkey and Ass licker Lillrune to a duel, if I beat him there should be no challenge to my claim, and if I lose, I pay him back with a big ass donkey, hahaha," Leo said suddenly laughingly, and stepping forward with conviction to the shock and surprise of the hall.
"Son, you must not be hasty. Lillrune has reached the fifth level of Cakra Mula. You are no match for him even if you recently awakened your magic. There are many ways to prove your magic other than a duel", Lillye said to his son.
The crowd buzzed with their opinions on the unfolding situation.
"What? The useless heir actually awakened his magic?" one voice exclaimed in disbelief.
"Finally! After all the family's investments, he manages to tap into his magic. But let's be real—he's still a fool if he thinks he can defeat Lillrune," another chimed in, skepticism evident.
"Let them fight. If the useless heir dies, we won't have to worry about stripping him of his title," someone else suggested, a hint of amusement in their tone.
"I gladly accept the challenge for a duel to the death with Cousin Lilleo," Lillrune declared, stepping forward with confidence.
"Good boy. Don't worry as a consolation, I'll give you a donkey even if you lose", Leo screamed.
"Are you sure you want to go through with this, Lilleo? This isn't child's play. Lillrune might seriously hurt you, and I don't want to bear the responsibility for that," Lieutenant General Lillwo warned, fake concern etched on his face.
"Old bastard Lillwo, out of respect for your fat ass that has been warming my seat, I promise not to kill the retard son of yours. I'll only shatter his Cakra Core for his deception, no for the fun of it, or turn him into a eunuch, your fucking bloodline is a waste anyway or both hahaha," Leo declared, his voice calm and firm and also playful.
"Shall we begin the duel now?" Lillann asked irritated by the language used in their sacred family hall and eager to end the debacle.
