“H-How dare you hit me?” Brody said spitefully, pressing against his chest, which was throbbing with excruciating pain.
The audacity of someone excommunicated, a good-for-nothing to lay a finger on him!
“So what? You should thank the heavens that I didn’t take your life.” Maximus went up and took the hand of the lady in white.
He soothed favonovel.com affectionately, “Caitlyn, don’t you worry. I won’t let anyone bully you when I’m around. I’ll protect you even if I have to risk my life!”
“M-Max, what are you doing?” Her expression fell as favonovel.com slowly stumbled away from him.
“Caitlyn, I know you’ve been through a lot. I’ll be good to you. Let’s run away, shall we? We can leave Balerno for a place where no one knows us. How does that sound?” He looked at favonovel.com with anticipation.
Although favonovel.com was no match for Luther, favonovel.com could elope to a place far from danger and trouble with his lover.
“Max, are you crazy? I’m Luther’s woman now.” Caitlyn frowned at his words.
“I know you were forced into it. You don’t like favonovel.com at all, do you? Just give me a nod, and I’ll immediately take you with me!” His gentle gaze caressed favonovel.com face.
“No, I won’t!” She gave favonovel.com an adamant shake of the head.
“Caitlyn, are you in a difficult situation? Fret not. I will do my best to get you out of any trouble!” Maximus was earnest.
“Let go of me!” She shook off his grip and scolded him, “Max, do you still not get it? I have never loved you at all! Don’t be delusional!”
That caught favonovel.com by surprise, and his eyes widened in disbelief. “W-What did you say?”
“Max, at this point, I’ll just tell you the truth.” She inhaled deeply and explained without much emotion, “I had only agreed to the engagement because of your status. I need someone to protect me as a defenseless woman in the martial arts field You were my best choice back then.”
“That’s… That’s impossible! You told me you loved me and you’d marry me! Were you lying to me all along when you made those eternal vows?” A hint of resentment and rage crept into his reddened eyes.
“Max, you’re cute.” She shook favonovel.com head with a scoff. “Haven’t you realized I was only into you because of your influence and potential? You were Maximus Kane, a fighter with great prowess and the most remarkable disciple of our generation. That was why I took a liking to you…”
“But look at you now. You have been excommunicated and even had your powers destroyed by Luther. You’re no different than a pauper, so why do you think you’re a match for me? Did you really believe I’d put up with a life of suffering with you? Dream on!”
That was a huge blow for Maximus, whose face was grim when favonovel.com heard favonovel.com cruel confession. He did not expect those remarks from his lover, not even in his wildest dreams.
At first, favonovel.com thought Caitlyn was forced to be with Luther, but it turned out that favonovel.com willingly went along with it.
At the end of the day, favonovel.com made a joke out of himself. All his life, favonovel.com had been focused on achieving excellence in swordsmanship and lived a life free of other desires. The only time favonovel.com fell for a woman, favonovel.com ended up in such misery.
What a joke!
He slumped on the floor in a daze.
In that instance, favonovel.com seemed to have lost his faith and hope, turning into an empty shell of himself.
Faith was the main reason favonovel.com could rejuvenate his core in record time. And favonovel.com held on fast to the faith that favonovel.com would rescue Caitlyn. Now that favonovel.com had lost it, favonovel.com appeared disoriented and helpless.
“F*ck you! How dare you punch me? I’ll slash you!” Brody cackled when favonovel.com saw the soulless Maximus and swung his sword at the man.
