Chapter 176


    The loyalty seemed to be seeping from the bones of the soldiers.


    Max was deeply astonished by the feeling that he was experiencing.


    Then, as Max moved on to the third word, he felt as if he was still on the battlefield. However, what he


    previously experienced were things that happened before the battle started.


    This time, he was in the middle of the battle.


    Despite being outnumbered, the soldiers did not give up; they did not care if they had to sacrifice their


    lives. Stopping their enemies so that their families could be safe was their shared objective.


    His heart was once again deeply touched by the blood, sweat, and tears that were expended for the


    benefit of one''s family and nation.


    It''s true. There''s no such thing as an age of peace. It''s merely an illusion created due to people having


    already shouldered the burden for us.


    Tears began to slowly flow from Max''s already murky eyes when he suddenly recalled those words.


    The people nearby were perplexed by the drastic turn of events when they saw him crying.


    He threw up blood earlier, and now he''s crying! What on earth is going on?


    Meanwhile, when Max finally focused on thest word and read the entire phrase, ”Loyalty to the


    Country,” he realized he was staring at the back of a heroic figure.


    Somehow, the back that was facing him exuded a sense of hopelessness. However, for the sake of the


    greater good, the person had no choice but to depart silently.


    Max only managed to snap out of the mysterious sensation after the back of the person was out of his


    sight.


    “Was that Harold, the God of War?” Max muttered to himself as he ced the magnifying ss down.


    Yulian looked anxious as he asked, “Did you see anything weird, Mr. Brady?”


    Yuvan and the others, too, were staring at Max curiously.

    “After appraising this, I''m confident that Harold, the God of War, wrote it. However, I''m slightly confused


    now. These words shouldn''t have evoked such feelings,” Max said. His words contradicted himself.


    “But that makes no sense! If this is the real piece, does that mean that Mr. Jennings'' piece is a


    counterfeit?” Yulian turned around to face Yuvan. He was enraged while questioning thetter, “How


    dare you use a counterfeit to fool my dad!”


    Yuvan was embarrassed as he attempted to exin himself, “I-I had no idea it was a counterfeit! I


    bought it from a well-known international antiques and collectibles auction house. I didn''t expect to find


    counterfeits in such a location!”


    He dared not question the truth in Max''s words.


    Instead, he believed that he had been deceived.


    However, the fact that everyone was still gawking at him made him feel too humiliated to stay.


    “I have made a careless mistake, Old Mr. Rivera. I''ll be sure to visit and apologize one day!” With that,


    Yuvan bowed at Victor and left the Rivera residence without another word.


    Harold then turned to face Yulian and said calmly, “We agreed on it, didn''t we, Yulian? If this piece


    turns out to be the genuine masterpiece of the God of War, you''d get down on your knees and


    apologize to Benson and Pauline in front of all the guests. You ought to kneel now since Mr. Brady has


    already confirmed it!”


    The eyes of the many guests then shifted to Yulian and Vivian.


    Yulian''s expression was livid. Through gritted teeth, he spat, “Y-You punk! Don''t overstep your


    boundaries. I''m your senior and your rtive! How could you be so disrespectful?”


    “Oh, so you are aware that we''re rtives, huh? Why didn''t you remember that when you sabotaged


    my inws? If you''re a man, you better kneel this instant!” Harold retorted.
