GOD OF ALL SYSTEMS -
Chapter 34 - 34: A Person That Shouldn't be Fucked With 1
London, United Kingdom
On a private property situated dozens of miles away from the city, there stood an estate five times larger than the Watson family estate. There were numerous courtyards and shelters spanning tens of miles.
Usually, such estates are owned by ultra-rich and wealthy families with generations of accumulated wealth. And like the silence of their wealth, their residences and estates are as quiet.
But not today; currently, this massive estate is bustling with activity as numerous distinguished individuals, emerging from all corners of the world, make way for this prestigious estate. They arrived in different styles: some arrived in expensive cars and cycles, some on private jets and boats. Others used their awakened powers resourcefully and made themselves present.
With the appearance of the rich, wealthy, powerful awakened, aristocrats, and the like, the scene was the epitome of the top 1% in society. One doesn't need a degree to realize that any random person picked from this crowd is some sort of celebrity billionaire with nothing but time in their hands to relish in their wealth.
But despite the societal status of those present, they were, after all, guests of the Underwood family. One can imagine the influence and power the Underwood family has when they can fish out the connections to invite almost all the most high-class families, individuals, and organizations the 21st century has to offer.
Inside the massively and aristocratically built estate, in a room full of men, all carrying an air of self-appraised god complex, a man with blonde hair stood by a large window with a dull face as he stared into the clouds.
He had his hands in his pocket and exuded an overwhelming aura of confidence and reassurance, at a level where the whole world would crumble into pebbles and he would remain unbothered while not even being touched by a single speck of dust, let alone a pebble. The man was 6'5" tall and had a well-built physique.
Suddenly, an elderly male with the manners of a refined butler approached the blonde man. He stopped and bowed as he spoke. "Sir Damon, a young man from the Grey family, Richard Grey, requests to see you. Should I perhaps reject his request?" The butler asked.
Listening to his butler, the man maintained his gaze on the sky as he replied. "Is it the Grey's family kid from Metro City?" The man asked.
"Yes, Sir Damon."
"Reject his offer. I'm in no mood to chat. "I am more interested in young lady Underwood; has her presence been made clear yet?"
"I'm afraid not, Sir Damon. But I'm aware she left for Metro City to pick up her mate, Athena Watson." The butler relayed.
Upon the sudden mention of Athena Watson, the blonde man reacted. He turned to the butler with an interested expression and asked, "Athena Watson? The goddess who doesn't smile?"
"I believe that's what your colleagues at the academy call her. But yes, that Athena Watson." The butler replied with an expressionless face.
"Now that's how to entertain a guest, little lady Underwood is expanding quite the effort to make today successful. Ok, now that I'm in a good mood, my future bride is also invited; what do you think, Oscar, what would be the best expression of my gratitude to Lady Underwood?" The young and dashing blonde-haired man asked.
The butler maintained a calm expression as he replied, "I suggest we don't count our chickens before they hatch, Sir Damon. Your interest in Athena Watson might not be reciprocated. And if you start rewarding now before getting your expected result, then not only will we be losing face, but we will also be rewarding it."
"Hmm, you are right. God knows what that cold-faced girl thinks. Tell me, what do you know about the Watson family?" The man, Damon, asked.
"Out of the four families in Metro City, the Watson family is the weakest. The Grey, Haldine, and Walker families are a combined force, and the Watson family seems to be getting crushed under their pressure. The Watson family head, Julius Watson, is an S-rank with ice-blizzard ability, and his son, Joseph Watson, is an A-rank with increased strength and vitality.
As for Athena Watson, other than her being an ice ability user, she seems quite ordinary."
"No, Oscar, Athena is everything but ordinary; her demeanor and character themselves aren't ordinary. I may be two years older than her, but sometimes when I see her in public, she acts as if she's billions of years older than me. She has the face of a goddess, yet it's cold enough to freeze even the hottest volcanos.
If I didn't know any better, I would dare claim she's the real Greek pantheon Athena."
The butler remained expressionless as he watched his master indulge in his admiration for Athena.
"Oscar, after Athena becomes my woman today, I want the Grey family and their dogs to annoy the Watson family no longer. Tell them their disobedience will incur my disappointments and that of my Rothschild family."
"Sir Damon, I would like to advise you to keep expectations at a base level. If Athena Watson is as admirable as you have described, then your wealth or family background wouldn't have any effect on her, and besides, aren't you showing too much in this girl? I mean, you are even willing to use the family for this, which I believe is an overestimation."
Hearing his butler, Damon Rothschild, smirk with interest, he then turned and stared at the thousands of people outside through the window as he commented.
"Now I see why my grandfather insists you become my butler; you always maintain a realistic perspective. But my interest in Athena isn't going to be expressed by flaunting my wealth or family status. Women like Athena seek men with absolute strength and self-independence.
"And tell me, Oscar, who amongst the younger generations can dare claim to be my match?
I am an eighteen-year-old S-rank awakened with power to rival nations. I am wealthy, intelligent, devilishly handsome, and most of all, I have every characteristic of a king. I am the golden light that will lead humanity into the golden era; my future is boundless. Which woman would dare even entertain the idea of rejecting me?
Athena Watson may be showing an icy front, but once I express my desires for her, everything will change."
Damon said this with confidence and reassurance as he stared at the crowd of people like a higher being gazing at the lowly majority.
But while gazing at the crowd, Damon Rothschild noticed the crowd reacting to the sudden appearance of an unknown object steadily approaching from the distance. He turned to his butler and asked.
"From Georgina's guest list, who is the most famous?"
"I believe you are, Sir Damon. Even Marquis Frank Underwood had to personally invite you; I don't think there is anyone more famous than you, not even Janea Forester, who is hailed as the strongest female S-rank healer in the world."
Doman maintained his gaze outside as he replied, "If I am the most famous person, then whose arrival has incurred such a dramatic entrance?" His expression was impassive.
"I shall inquire, Sir Damon." The butler said as his eyes went white; three seconds later, Oscar opened his eyes and commented with a convinced expression.
"I am unable to determine the specific identity of the individual who arrived, Sir Damon. But what I know is that it must be young Lady Underwood and Athena Watson arriving. And as for the massive object in the sky, I think that is King Tech's G1000X, which costs £500 billion.
Frank Underwood may be wealthy, but he can't afford the G1000X, and even if it were gifted, he couldn't afford the daily cost of it."
"So, you are saying someone as rich as me has arrived?" Damon asked as his face slowly turned cold and hinted at rancor.
"I'm afraid this person is richer than you, Sir Damon; their wealth might even be slight, if not greater than the family's." The butler replied expressionlessly.
Listening to his butler's words only made Damon's resentfulness more exposed. He thought, as his gaze became more murderous, 'And this person is with Athena Watson?'
....
Twenty seconds ago, outside the massive estate, crowds of people gathered as they chatted and conversed. But suddenly, the crowd felt a massive gush of wind as everything went silent.
Following the sudden elimination of all surrounding sounds, a massive object emerged from the sky as it shaded the morning sun from illuminating the earth. The crowd reacted with surprise and doubt as they stared at the massive and technologically advanced jet hovering in the sky, not producing the faintest sound.
If it wasn't for its massiveness, which blocked the sun, the crowd wouldn't have even noticed it.
....
Inside the G1000X, Patrick and Athena sat as they watched the thousands of people below. Patrick held a black mug as he sipped from it. He turned to Georgina, who was standing not far from them, and said, "Lady Georgina, since it's your party, you should take the lead."
As Patrick spoke, the surface Georgina stood on slowly began descending. She reacted with a smile as she nodded. "Thank you, Alex, for the conversation and ride; please feel at home; you are my special guest, after all," she replied before her figure vanished from inside the jet.
Athena and Patrick exchanged gazes when Patrick said, "We haven't even arrived, yet I already have someone expressing killing intent towards me. Sigh~"
"~Laughs~ Well, I can't wait to be entertained. Trick, come here~" Athena said as she pulled Patrick by gripping his baggy black hoodie and kissing him.
As the couple kissed, they could hear Georgina being cheered for by the crowd. She then expressed her thanks and began talking about how everyone was welcome to enjoy themselves.
She even mentioned Damon Rothschild, Janea Forester, Calvin Clein, Laniz, and Lania Blake, all the twenty-two major guilds in the world, some royal princes, and princesses, and most of all, her father, Frank Underwood.
Upon finishing her words, Georgina smiled warmheartedly as the crowd applauded for her. After the clapping, Georgina coughed slightly as she continued, this time her words sounding more like an introduction.
"Thank you, thank you. And now, I would like to welcome my best friend and childhood sister; many of you already know her as the goddess who doesn't smile or the icy queen.
Inside the jet, Patrick and Athena kissed as Georgina spoke outside, "Are you ready to be famous?" Patrick said as he stared at Athena.
But Athena only rubbed her nose at his as she replied, "If you mean being publicly known as your woman, then anytime." Athena smiled-
"Despite being younger than me, she has shown great wisdom and maturity, something we all should definitely copy from her: "~Crowd Laugh~" The crowd laughed after being hinted at their immaturity.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present you, Athena Watson!"
Georgina spoke as the surface descended; the crowd applauded as they watched Athena slowly descend from the jet. Some were amazed at the G1000X, and others were amazed at the beautiful and godly dress she wore, which matched her character. But next to Athena was someone whose appearance drew the crowd's attention.
"Huh?! Who is that? And why is he with Athena Watson?" A woman exclaimed.
"OMG, he is so handsome, look at his silver hair, is he even human?"
"Yeah, he looks like an angel hand-made by God himself."
Two women exclaimed with attraction to Patrick.
Although some were surprised to see the devilishly handsome Patrick and the massive G1000X hovering above them, they didn't fixate on them that much. Like the self-absorbed and entitled people they were, most immediately diverted their gaze from Patrick and Athena as they continued their chats and laughter.
But the reason why thousands of people can so easily switch their attention from the captivating Patrick and Athena has something to do with Patrick. As for what Patrick did, we know him well enough to know he has such capabilities.
Patrick, Athena, and Georgina finally landed on the ground as they were met with crowds of people approaching them with smiles and merry attitudes. Some expressed their gratitude, while others shook hands in appreciation.
Suddenly, from among the groups of people, an extremely beautiful woman, seeming to be in her late twenties, approached from the distance with a glass of wine in hand as she walked towards Athena. She had a welcoming smile as if rekindling with an old friend.
Seeing the woman, Athena also expressed a warm smile as she relayed her identity to Patrick.
"Trick, she is Janea Forester. Strongest female S-rank Awakened globally, her healing ability is strong enough that she can bring the dead to life if they haven't died for more than thirty seconds."
"Hmm…" Patrick grunted as he smiled. 'Grace has already provided every piece of information about her; it feels like listening to the same story a thousand times. But her ability is not bad, even if she can only use her reviving ability once every three months.'
"Hi, Athena, long time no see. How are you?" The woman was cheerful as she went for the hug.
Athena hugged the woman as both ladies began reminiscing: "How is Metro City? I heard about that guild being wiped out; I hope it isn't as bad as it displayed over the news."
"Laughs~ I wouldn't know about it; I'm always at home... How about you? You seem quite beautiful as always."
"Oh, please, look at the goddess complimenting me."
Athena and Jenea Forester laughed and conversed, both seeming to enjoy their company. Athena then turned to Patrick as she introduced him to Janea.
"Janea, meet Patrick, he is the one I was talking about that time."
Hearing Athena, Janea made an 'oh' face and expressed an impressed countenance as she shook Patrick's hand. "Hi, Jenea Forester. Nice to meet you."
"Likewise, Patrick Alexander King, but please call me Alex."
"That's quite the bold name, Alex. Now I understand what Athena meant by "all in one." Anyways, it's good I finally met the mystery man."
Patrick remained impassive as he nodded.
But suddenly, the scene went silent as everyone felt an overwhelming killing intent overshadow them. The chattering died down, the musical instrument shattered, and the wine glasses and alcohol bottles followed suit.
Since the party was crowded with powerful Awakened from all corners of the world, they instinctively reacted as they all stared at where the killing intent originated, especially after sensing that the murderous energy was from a powerful S-rank.
Janea Forester had a quick change in expression, switching from calm and friendly to serious and cautious as she stared at the fifth floor of the estate. She turned to Athena and said, "Athena, you might want to take him out of here; I sense things are about to become very messy," as she vanished from her spot.
Georgina had a surprised but panicked reaction as she stared at the fifth floor. She turned to her butler, who was beside her, as she commanded. "Quick, activate the shield, and send an emergency request to Father. Damon Rothschild is about to run amok."
Athena had a tranquil expression as she stared at where the killing intent was massively spreading; she wasn't even the least bothered, even when aware of who the killing intent was intensively aimed at, Patrick.
Patrick, with a face that can only be described as "nothing exists in my eyes," stared at the fifth floor, through the window, and at the blonde-haired Damon Nathaniel Rothschild as he thought to himself.
'Grace, Alpha, withdraw all existence-erasing attacks at him. It's time the world knew Patrick Alexander King shouldn't be fucked with. Not even by gods."
