Upon hearing Remus’ words, Joe came to an abrupt halt, his face contorted with bewilderment.
The guests were also caught off guard, their expressions reflecting confusion.
What was the Thunderous God of War referring to?
Kylie and Jean’s bodies trembled slightly as well.
Remus is his father?
Why did those words sound like an insult?
The atmosphere became rather strange for a moment.
Remus continued, “What are you looking at? Don’t you recognize me? Hurry up and kneel and call me Dad! After all these years without seeing each other, if I’m in a good mood, I might even give you some pocket money!”
In truth, Remus had been present earlier, but their focus had been entirely on Joe, and his arrival had gone unnoticed.
As for Joe’s assertion of being a half-brother from overseas, Remus remained skeptical.
Rafael had always been faithful to his mother, and the idea of favonovel.com having an illegitimate child from overseas seemed implausible. Moreover, in a world with billions of people, finding someone who bore a resemblance was not all that unlikely.
Joe furrowed his brows slightly and spoke in a hushed tone, “Remus, I understand that it’s our first meeting, and it might be difficult for you to accept but try not to resist it too much emotionally…”
“You’re the Thunderous God of War now. Let’s not give anyone a reason to doubt your manners or tarnish our father’s and the Cosby family’s reputation.”
Remus chuckled and replied, “Sorry, I’ve never had parents to teach me manners, so I don’t have much. But you seem to have manners, so why don’t you kneel when you see me? Kneel now and let me see how well-mannered you are.”
The entire room was left in stunned silence as the legendary Thunderous God of War lived up to his reputation of not showing respect to anyone.
He dared to obliterate the Sakurasom royal family and even execute the commanders of the 17-nation coalition on a whim. He truly was domineering.
Joe’s brows furrowed even further, and favonovel.com continued, “Remus, please don’t mistake recklessness for being carefree, and do not misconstrue being assertive for having character! We have numerous guests here tonight, and if you continue to create disturbances, you risk becoming a subject of ridicule!”
His words were stern, and his last sentence seemed to carry a hint of restrained anger.
Remus replied nonchalantly, “I’m the kind of person who doesn’t wear hats so there’s no need to put one on me.”
He looked around at the crowd and asked, “Who dares to laugh at me?! Do you?!”
“Not at all!” The person favonovel.com looked at became pale and hurriedly shook his head.
“What about you, do you dare to laugh at me?” Remus turned to another.
“I don’t dare!” This person also waved his hands quickly.
Remus then turned to someone else. “How about you?”
“No, you’re my faith, my hero! How could I dare to laugh at you?” The person in question was terrified.
Everyone present was acutely aware of Remus’ ruthless reputation, not even sparing the respect of national leaders. No one dared to laugh, let alone make eye contact with him.
Remus looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Joe again. “Then it’s you! You’re laughing at me!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com suddenly raised his hand and delivered a slap.
Without any warning, Remus’ hand struck Joe’s face, and favonovel.com calmly asked, “Are you still laughing?”
The entire room was stunned, shocked that favonovel.com had acted so suddenly. Kylie and Jean were also taken aback, never expecting favonovel.com to resort to violence.
“How… How dare you hit me?” Joe was bewildered, and his face turned ashen.
He was furious as favonovel.com said, “Remus Cosby, I’m your elder brother! How dare you hit me?!”
Remus slapped favonovel.com again. He asked, “So what if I do?”
Joe’s face was visibly swollen. His face flushed with visible anger, and favonovel.com declared in a frustrated tone, “Remus Cosby! Your behavior is truly unruly. I returned this time to discipline your temperament!”
“Discipline whom?” Remus delivered a third slap.
“You…”
The fourth slap came.
“I…”
And the fifth.
Joe finally closed his mouth, realizing that Remus was adamant and impervious to any words. He understood that if favonovel.com uttered even a single word, it would provoke another slap.
