The Return of the God Level Assassin Chapter 980: NOT AN ILLNESS OR MADNESS

"HAH! You want respect from ? After being so utterly disrespectful to your own father? You have the nerve to demand respect from ? You're a disgrace! You have no right to ask for my respect!"

Even without hearing his father's angry rhetoric, Shen Yi Mu could tell just by the other's expression how angry he was right now. His father's face twisted into a scowl, his brow furrowing with frustration. The muscles in his face were taut and rigid. His breathing beca shallow and rapid, and his nostrils flared with each exhalation. A deep flush of color suffused his cheeks and neck, the veins in his temples bulging with pent-up anger. It was clear that he was on the verge of exploding, his fury barely contained beneath the surface.

Shen Yi Mu had already taken that into account when he decided to tell him that he's gay. Because there's no way the other wouldn't be. His father, an ultra-conservative, who couldn't even tolerate his son's partner being a foreigner, what more if the other was of the sa gender?

But he didn't care. This was the last straw. If he didn't speak now, he would be forced to et up with the woman his father obviously wanted him to marry. He should make a stand now, regardless of the outco.

Shen Yi Mu had already learned his lesson when he lost Ah Yue before. Didn't he promise himself that if he was given another chance to be reunited with the other, he would do everything in his power so the two of them would never be separated again? So how could he tolerate his father's plan of marrying him off?

Besides, he was already thinking of telling his mother about his sexual orientation. This situation only pushed the schedule forward.

His father held the back of his neck as if trying to suppress his rising blood pressure. His brother imdiately gave the other his dicine, which their father readily accepted.

Shen Yi Wu glared at him, his expression full of bla. As if saying, 'if sothing happened to Dad, it's all your fault'.

Shen Yi Mu almost laughed wryly at that. Whose fault was it that things escalated to this point? He knew that he wouldn't be able to go through this marriage and yet he didn't say anything to stop their father to arrange this. Or was it because the other thought that what he felt for Ah Yue was just sothing temporary and he had already gotten over it. That his feelings for him totally had nothing to do with his sexual orientation?

Yeah, he could totally see that, knowing his brother.

Shen Yi Mu only spoke again once he saw that his father had drank his dicine and that he had cald down a bit.

"I apologized if you feel disrespected, but I won't take back what I said. I can't et that woman with the intention of marriage, or any woman for that matter."

"You--!"

He spoke again before his father could continue what he was saying. "I know you must be thinking that I was doing this to rebel or that I only said what I said to avoid eting this woman. But that's not it, Dad. It's simply because I'm gay. Brother knows about it, you can ask him. He can tell you that I'm not lying. He even knew I had a boyfriend before."

Whatever his father was about to say stopped after he said that. The other glanced at Shen Yi Wu. The latter glared at him even more fiercely, probably because he didn't expect that he would involve him in this. Seeing his brother's reaction, their father must have realized that he wasn't lying.

"You knew about this?" their father asked incredulously.

Shen Yi Wu clenched his teeth. "I did."

Shen Yi Mu had to give his brother props for just admitting it and not giving any excuses. But, of course, this simple admission only made their father angry.

"And you didn't bother to tell ?" their father yelled. "If you had, maybe we could have saved your brother from this... madness!"

Now, Shen Yi Mu really had to laugh.

"Dad, being gay is not an illness and most definitely is not so kind of madness, as you put it," he said dryly. "There's nothing wrong with my brain. This is simply just... well, . Nothing can be done about it. Unless, of course, you plan to drug , then throw in a room with so random woman, and order her to have her way with just so you could prove that I'm not gay."

Their father finally turned his attention back to him. The other was glaring almost as much as his brother. One could see that the anger inside him had now co close to a boiling point.

"How do you think your mother would react, hearing you say such... things?"

Shen Yi Mu didn't expect that his father would really go there. It's like ntioning his mother was his ultimate trump card to straighten him up and pull him back from the 'right path'.

If this was before he t Ah Yue again, he might have second thoughts. But it's different now. Ah Yue was back with him. And he could no longer afford to compromise. Even if it was for his mother.

"She would be surprised and in shock. Maybe she would even have a hard ti understanding and accepting it. But with ti, I know that Mom would still accept . Accept this . Because I'm her son and she loves ," Shen Yi Mu said with confidence. "I can't exactly say the sa for you, Dad."

Then, before the other's temper blew up once again and threw sothing at him out of anger, he turned around and walked towards the door of the study. But before completely leaving, he glanced at his father and brother and said;

"And oh, if you try to do so underhanded things just so you could 'cure' my 'problem', please don't. Because I'll go straight to the dia and announce to everyone that I'm gay."

He opened the door and left.
