Chapter 215: The Gamma King's Past Part 1

All the leaders one after another accepted the Earth Leader's proposal, especially those that led smaller countries that would benefit from the support and cooperation of the entire continent the most.

Within a few minutes, all of the leaders agreed and submitted to the Earth Leader, which they would have done even if he hadn't surpassed them in terms of strength, just out of respect and admiration of his character.

All of the leaders, apart from the Gamma King who out of pride couldn't submit to the Earth Leader despite knowing that even if the Earth Leader wasn't stronger than him, he would have been worthy to be the leader of the continent.

"What would Angela and the White Flash think? Look at how low you have fallen, even allowing me to surpass you in terms of power. Respect is earnt and you can still turn it back around, but it needs you to accept the help and cooperation of others" said the Earth Leader, who would rather have the Gamma King agree and submit willingly, rather than needing to use force.

If he used force, as soon as he died or left, the Gamma King wouldn't think twice before looking for a way to get rid of him or become the leader of the continent.

However, if he could help him change and look past his pride, it would be easier for him and benefit the future of the continent.

The Gamma King initially hearing him mention Angela and the White Flash wanted to become angry and explode, however, he kept calm and realised that it was him that pushed his daughter away from him.

He didn't truly care about her at the start and only wanted her to forgive him so that she could help him with her power, but then remembering how happy they were when she was just born, he couldn't help but regret his actions.

The Gamma King hadn't always been cold and it was the tradition of his country's royal family that made him that way.

As a prince, he lived a happy and peaceful life and he was very talented in cultivation and combat, and because of that he was treated well by his father, the king, but he invoked the jealousy of his siblings.

His father was a cruel man that only cared about his own power and wealth, which was similar to how he turned out after he became king.

When the king becomes old, all of his children, descendants and those that had inherited his bloodline would have to fight to the death and only the survivor would inherit the throne.

After his father became ill and was no longer fit to become king, the current Gamma King was already in his twenties and was ambushed by all his siblings at once.

They had all agreed that they would team up and take him down, before taking out each other and finding out who was the winner, but they had underestimated him.

He had to kill all of his siblings who were trying to kill him and he didn't want to kill anybody and was quite kind-hearted, but the world made him cold.

After he did so, with his own hands, he had no choice but to kill his mother and father as the last survivor and he snapped, no longer caring about anything other than power, just like his father was.

He sacrificed everything to gain the position of king, which he didn't even want in the first place and after remembering how his father treated him and his siblings, he became even colder.

The beatings his siblings would receive, which he wouldn't since he was the favourite child and everything that his father would tell him about becoming strong and only caring about himself, made him become just like the man that he hated the most, his father.

The Gamma Queen was his lover from when he was younger and she was influenced by his change and also became cold and only focused on increasing her own power and supporting the king.

Although they were both cold and would always fight, they couldn't split as they were the only family that each other had and both knew that once they split, they would be alone in the painful world.

The hardship that the Gamma Queen had experienced over her life was no less than what her partner experienced and to numb the emotional pain they had both experienced over their lives, they turned to cultivation and acquiring more territory and power.

Because of that, they became feared as powerful and dominant rulers that took over all the small countries and territories that were around their country.

Within a decade, they had expanded and progressed massively, but they both still felt empty and as though they had a purpose in life.

Despite that, they couldn't give up on their lives and were unwilling to live after everything they had sacrificed and destroyed in order to keep and improve their lives.

To try and fill that emptiness, they thought that a child would help and their daughter could be their salvation, which was slightly true at the start.

However, after seeing that she didn't have the power, drive and cruelty that they had, they began more and more like their parents and were abusive and cold in the way that they treated her.

Angela had no good memories with her parents and they even went as far as to try and force her into engaging into a talented young male who had a disgusting and scummy character.

All Angela wanted to do was help others and was very kind-hearted despite how her parents were and how they treated her, but her parents crushed that ambition and she had no choice but to run away.

She thought that she could try and forgive them, but the only person that she felt warmth towards in her heart was Lex and she felt that nobody else could get through her cold exterior.

After everything that he had been through, seen and experienced, the Gamma King and his partner were finally beginning to see how wrong they truly were.
