Landon looked at Skye in disdain.

The dude had missed the perfect opportunity to entertain him.

It would've been great if he came when the Sapos and Priests asked if anyone objected to the wedding.

Landon wanted to see an [I object!] scene.

Sigh... There goes his drama expectations.

But while he was lost in disappointment, Penelope was lost in rage instead.

"You say you're here to wish me well, but why do I feel otherwise? 

Heh. You really have a rather bizarre way of showing your well wishes." She said while coldly staring at the many men with weapons.

"Idiot, let me make one thing clear. Since you've shown up in front of me again, then don't blame me for giving you more beatings." She said while cracking her knuckles.

"Hahahahhahahahha.

Penelope, Penelope, Penelope, Penelope.

You know, I heard that you're very straightforward, but I didn't realize that it was this direct."

Skye moved forward. Meanwhile, Santa and the guys stood before Penelope instead.

Skye chuckled: "You call me an idiot. But it seems that it is you who can't understand your current situation.

You see, the Sanpodia gates are closed, with all of my men here.

Right now, our men are battling outside with your very few guards while we are just here to finish up the job.

Now, now, now... don't look at me like that.

I already knew how many guards would be here and had prepared for this day for so long.

After all, you didn't think I would allow you to live after you turn down my marriage proposal, right?

No. Even if you lived after today, you'd be a far cry from your current glorious life.

So I suggest you put down that anger of yours and beg me if you or anyone else wants to get out of this situation."

"Hahahahhahahahha!"

Landon, William and even the Sentries, Priests and everyone else laughed.

Skye was even more confused than ever.

Did the fear and shock make these people go crazy?

"And what is so funny?"

"You."

Landon looked at him playfully:" Tell me prince Skye, did you actually think that we didn't know what you were planning?"

"Bullsh**!

There's no way! You're clearly making things up now!"

Skye's face distorted in disbelief.

There's no way!

How could they have known?

The temple of Dragmus was very powerful, and its members would never betray the temple, even in the face of death. So how could they have gotten word?

Forget about his men leaking any plans out because ever since they informed him of the plan... His men had been grounded by the temple in the woods and haven't left ever since.

Again, for this mission, the temple had sent their most trusted sentries to deal with the matter.

These people were very loyal and dared not betray the temple.

So they couldn't have leaked anything out.

Moreover, the temple itself never fought a losing battle. So he knew that this battle was in the bag.

In that case, then Penelope and the rest might only be trying to scare him into retreating.

Skye looked at them and sneered.

Nice try, but he wasn't falling for that.

As for Temple Primate Yao, he just observed silently while scrutinizing their expressions, as if trying to see if they were bluffing or not.

Could they truly have known of the attack?

Well, whether they knew of it, the temple had already trapped themselves in.

So they had no choice but to fight!

.

Landon shrugged his shoulders: "Believe it or not, we've been expecting you. And now that you're here, it'll be rude of us to show you hospitality, no?"

Din!

Instantly, after getting Landon's hand signal, several Baymardian soldiers who were currently laying low amidst the guests stood up and pointed their guns at the enemy.

Simultaneously, others ran out from the hallways at the side of the altar, where the Sapos/priests were supposed to enter and exit.

Again, others seemed to fall from the many decorations above.

The f***?

Were they there the entire time?

They had painted their bodies and clothes to blend into the place and sat on the thick slates high that were there as decorations.

Again, those slates were typically there, for when the place needed redecorating by the Painter's and so on.

Those slates acted as supports for the very massive dome-building that was as tall as 3 stories.

And all this time, the men had been up there with bungee rules safely secured on their bodies.

Like assassins, they decided to take a leap of faith and jumped down with their guns in their hands.

Damn, everything was so cool.

And the guests who now dared to look up after hearing Landon's words were in awe at the soldiers' actions. 

Awesome!

They felt like they were watching an assassin movie.

Hell yeah!

At the same time, Penelope and the rest then unsheathed their swords, and their own men also revealed themselves too.

Now, the party was completed.

Adrian squinted his eyes at Yao.

.

"Everyone, remember the plan.

Carmelo, Samuel, Duke Walter... your men will focus on protecting the guests.

Of course, our darling girls, Lucy, Ava, Lucia, Ruby, and Grace, will also do their best to protect the people, the Sapos and the Baymardian priests too.

Granddaughter, I know you really want to beat the fool (Skye) for instructing your wedding, so you'll take them on.

Worthless grandson-in-law (Santa), you'll be working with the brat (Landon) and the other brat (William) to take out the enemies in here.

As for myself, Micheal, Andrew and Javis... as planned, you'll be joining the battle outside.

It's time to show these idiots what happens when they dare to go against us."

"Right!"

With that, the battle officially began.

Landon looked at Yao before focusing his attention on Santa and William.

Rock, paper, scissors?

Pap Pap Pap Pap.

Dammit.

"Why are you always lucky? I really want to fight the bastard." Santa grumbled, while William only shook his head helplessly.

It was decided.

Landon would fight the big boss.
