The Sinful Life of The Emperor
chapter-691-30041322

"Stop calling me The Cuckold!" Kurtis shouted, the veins on his forehead popping out.

Even the shame of being cuckolded wasn't as embarrassing and hurtful as Kiba's constant taunts.

"Oh well, if you say so, I won't."

Kiba agreed with Kurtis' request while rubbing the delicious butt of his daughter-in-law. It was smooth like silk and felt amazing against his palms.

He couldn't help but dig his fingers there, making her gasp.

Kurtis was angry but at least a bit relieved that he would no longer be embarrassed with The Cuckold jibe.

"So from now, I would only call you The Cuck!"

Kurtis felt like he was kicked in the guts. Blood sprayed out of his mouth, and he stumbled back in the air.

This fucking doctor!

"Enough with your nonsense."

Rebecca's words reverberated in the prison of fire, and the heat intensified. Those in the estate trembled violently as things began to melt around them. The vegetation outside turned to ashes, and the moisture in the air disappeared completely.

Dry winds spiraled out, dragging many unfortunate people away.

Only Steve and Kirstie remain unaffected, besides those in the sealed area of the estate.

In the sky, Constance's skin started drying as she if it was aging. Kiba's eyes crossed as even he was affected, albeit barely.

He channeled his powers into him and then Constance to fight the heat.

If anything happened to him, it was fine, but not her.

After all, if she aged and lost her beautiful body, wouldn't he fail in his duties as a brother-in-law?

That couldn't be allowed at any costs!

"Lady Rebecca, apologies," Kiba started with a smile. "But it was your cuck who interrupted us. Anyways, like I said, he hired Akshobhya with a Dharma Coin and some treasured materials. You already know why."

Rebecca's eyes locked with his, and she studied them.

"Don't believe him!" Kurtis shouted again as the sense of dread turned strong. "And if you do, ask him for proof!"

Kurtis' face brightened as he said this.

Because he knew there was no proof, except for him and Akshobhya. He obviously wouldn't reveal the truth, and the latter was in no state to answer!

So, he was safe!

Even if Rebecca suspected something, she couldn't act on suspicion alone. The rules of the family wouldn't allow her!

"First of all, I don't need to prove anything," Kiba responded with a grin. "After all, it is none of my business what you did to save your nonexistent pride as The Cuck."

"…!" Kurtis gritted his teeth and tightened his fists.

If not for the terrible experience he had so far, he would have released a blazing inferno on Kiba.

"But since you are trying to put doubts on my honest and pure character," Kiba continued. "Let me tell you how I know…."

Everyone focused on him, wondering if he was indeed speaking the truth.

Even the Alphas in the estate who were in meditation focused on him, wondering if Kurtis was really despicable enough to want to kill the proof of his living shame.

"Ksitigarbha," Kiba explained while looking at Rebecca. "Before killing him, I read his memories and learned many secrets."

What?!

The Alphas and everyone jumped in an uproar.

He killed Ksitigarbha?!

The mid-stage Level VIII Alpha of Dharma Chakra?!

Are you fucking kidding me!?

This is a lie!

An absolute lie!

Yes, Kiba has killed an Alpha in front of the world, but that was only an early-stage Level VII.

While shocking, it was still in the realm of possibility given the strength he has shown.

But Level VIII? No fucking way!

Even if one could defeat an Alpha of such strength, killing was impossible!!

Wait…

People suddenly recalled the phenomenon when Ksitigarbha's corpse fell from Earth's orbit. There was the light of evolution followed by the blinding silhouette of an angel!

Angel!

Xalion took a deep breath.

He eyed the pair of wings spreading from Kiba's back and the way they flapped.

It was just like that angel!

"But how is that an angel!? It is the devil!"

Xalion cursed under his breath, his body shaking.

He thanked his lucky stars that when Kiba toyed with Kurtis in the hall, he didn't attempt to stop him. Otherwise, he, too, would have received a good dose of medicine from Kiba's hammer full of thorns…

Just thinking of "the dose of medicine" caused goosebumps to spring upon his body. His thighs shivered, and he guarded his crotch with his hands.

"So I was right," Lord Harley thought without any change in expression. "It was indeed him who killed Ksitgarbha."

Ever since he saw Kiba using reality-warping powers, he felt his Holy Form was a bit familiar. Now he was sure why.

At the same time, as Kiba spoke of Ksitgarbha, Kurtis felt a chill racing down his spine. Fear, disbelief, and rage swelled up in his body.

He felt close to a catastrophe and knew that he would invoke the disaster if he didn't speak now.

"You are lying again!" Kurtis shouted to make his voice echo.

He wanted the world to know what Kiba said was false and slanderous.

"Really?" Kiba asked with a mocking look. "How are you so sure?"

"Because Kstigharbha wouldn't know!" Kurtis replied with a crazy expression. "In fact, no one would know as what happened between Akshobhya and me…."

Kurtis stopped in between. Because just as he spoke so far, he realized what he has said!

Kiba's lips spread into a smirk.

Lord Harley almost facepalmed.

This idiot! He is shooting himself in the foot!

Kurtis broke into a cold sweat, but the sweat droplets evaporated instantly.

He felt his throat turning dry, and with every ounce of courage he could muster, he turned towards his wife.

He hated her, and most often, he called her vile names as he was sure she couldn't retaliate with deadly force.

Now he trembled just by looking at her. He didn't dare say anything more.

Rebecca didn't move. She continued to float there.

Relief washed over his face as there was no change in her aura or expression. Her eyes were still on Kiba.

Perhaps she didn't connect the dots…

"Phew~!"

Kurtis sighed in relief.

Just then, a fountain of blood erupted, and the stench of flesh burning spread out.

"!!!"

Kurtis's eyes popped out of their sockets.

A burning hole, the size of a fist, has emerged in his stomach!

The missing flesh and bones flew into the distance, charred black.

"Wha…what happened?" Kurtis saw Rebecca still standing.
