The Exalted Warrior novel Chapter 862

Cecilia got angrier the more she thought about it, but she could not do anything about it either. She could only clench her teeth and comfort herself with the knowledge that Fane was going to die soon. He was probably going to explode to death at any time. She needed to see how he died.

Only, they had already finished their meal, and Fane and the others on the opposite quickly finished theirs as well. Judging from the huge screen, asides from the slight redness in his cheeks from drinking plenty of wine, he did not seem to be having any other adverse reactions.

“Strange. Didn’t they say that he would die today? It’s already late in the afternoon. He’s not even showing the slightest symptom. What on earth is Ivan doing? Did he lie to me?”

Cecilia frowned, pondering on the matter.

She thought about it. Then she silently crept to the side and called Ivan.

Ivan, Ken, and the others were all waiting for Fane to drop dead onto the floor as well—to see the sight of his rotten body.

However, up until now, they did not see what they came here for. Because of that, they drank quite a few rounds of alcohol.

Fane was truly the star of the entire city today, and this made them utterly speechless. They could not wait for him to drop dead in front of everyone.

Especially now, when Fane had so much money and even bought the Heart of the Abyss for Selena. It seemed that their relationship would only grow stronger.

Meanwhile, Fiona had been all smiles all day. It was evident that she was growing happier and contented with her son-in-law. There was very little chance for interference unless Fane died or the two were broken up.

“Is there something wrong? Idiot! Of course, there is!”

Cecilia’s chest heaved violently from anger. “Didn’t you and the old man say that you would come over for lunch after presenting your gifts at Selena’s wedding?” she snapped. “Great. The businessmen and James Drake aren’t here—even you guys aren’t here. You’re my family, but not one of you remained at my wedding. It’s so embarrassing!”

As Cecilia spoke, she felt that she suffered so much today. Tears threatened to spill out of her eyes, and her voice turned hoarse.

“Cousin, you can see it for yourself. The Nine Great Gods of War are here. How could we leave? Besides, don’t you know that the old man loves his reputation? He’s drinking with the Gods of War now. This is a matter of reputation for him. Why would he think of you now!”
