The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 662

“Skyler Celestino?”

“One hundred and seventy-eight billion bucks?”

The crowd present at the scene was completely dumbfounded. Terror streaked through the space. These two pieces of information were overly shocking.

“Are you sure you heard it right? Skyler Celestino? Doesn't this name belong to Skyler, the King of War? That’s the eight-star King of War!”

The elder was paralyzed to the spot, the terrifying surprise holding him in a tightening grip. He only managed to regain his words after a few minutes.

“There’s only one King of War with the name Skyler Celestino!”

The middle-aged woman had a blank look in her eyes as though she was dwelling in a haze of confusion, yet to recover from the news.

“If it really was Skyler Celestino, the King of War, why did he give Fane so much money? More than a hundred seventy billion bucks! Are you sure you heard the number correctly? Why did he give that b*stard so much money?”

The sudden shock caused Hector’s muscles to tense up. Only prominent families could produce that amount of money after they had sold all their properties.

Nobody at the scene could understand why a King of War—an eight-star King of War—would give so much money to an adopted son-in-law.

The elder suddenly thought of something and immediately rushed into the house. He took a poster and ran out again. He breathed out heavily, “Master Hector, look! Look at the poster! That brat promised to make his wife’s birthday the grandest event that would shake the entire Middle province. Could he have borrowed money from the King of War so that he could host the greatest birthday party for his wife?”

Suddenly, the elder clapped his hands together after realizing something. “Damn! I think we’ve been fooled by that brat!”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

Everyone at the scene turned their attention towards the elder, scratching their heads, not knowing why.

“That brat must’ve made someone else make that call on purpose and pretended that Skyler Celestino was the caller! All the contents in that call must’ve been staged and rehearsed!”

The elder’s mood lifted and his eyes were full of wisdom. “He did it because he was afraid of offending the great power behind us—the Kingston Hall. This shows that he’s afraid of Kingston Hall and that he doesn’t want to create trouble. Therefore, he pretends to be close with Skyler Celestino, the King of War. However, the biggest mistake that he made was the amount of money. That sum of money is so unrealistic that it exposed his sneaky plan!”
