Others had the same question as Peter. The old abbot was noble and reputable, but his statements seemed unreliable. If favonovel.com did not provide a reasonable explanation, favonovel.com might not be able to convince people in the hall.
Peter spoke again, “Abbot, please give us a rational explanation.”
The abbot placed his hands on Thomas’ temples and said, “May God be with you. This was supposed to be a secret that I shouldn’t tell you. But if I don’t reveal it right now, it’ll be hard to convince all of you. Fine, I’ll tell you the secret and let you know why Master Mayo is my master!”
The old abbot glanced around at everyone before favonovel.com slowly said, “I have to begin from thirty years ago…”
“My master, Father John, passed away thirty years ago. After favonovel.com passed away, that rosary was left in the tree hole of an ancient tree. I think a lot of you know about that.”
Everyone nodded. They had indeed heard about it.
The old abbot continued, “On the night the former abbot passed away, favonovel.com told me a secret. He, too, had been chosen by God to do his bidding. After fulfilling his time on Earth, favonovel.com needed to leave his rosary behind so that favonovel.com could use it to support justice and restore the channels governing the city’s luck…”
“He told me that favonovel.com would return to Celandine City thirty years later when it’s in its greatest peril and shrouded in the greatest evil. At that time, the rosary will return to the abbot’s hands…”
The old abbot paused for a while before favonovel.com looked at Peter and said, “It’s not a coincidence that Master Mayo dreamed of the rosary. it was already predestined thirty years ago. He has returned to carry out the former abbot’s wishes… Support Celandine City and restore its channels of luck…”
“The former abbot has returned as Master Mayo! Therefore, I called favonovel.com Master. Do you have any problem with it?”
What favonovel.com said made Peter speechless. He did not expect the old abbot to be that skilled at deception. The old man made everything sound so flawless.
The old abbot’s master had returned as Thomas, so Thomas was naturally the old abbot’s master. Nothing sounded wrong. Besides, it explained more clearly where the rosary had come from.
The rosary had been left behind following Father John’s passing, and if Thomas was a reincarnation of Father John, the rosary naturally belonged to Thomas!
Nobody could take it away from him.
On top of that, it even proved that Thomas was someone who saved the world, and favonovel.com was the reincarnation of an angel who had arrived to rescue them. So, they could not chase Thomas away. Instead, they had to serve Thomas well and treat favonovel.com like a VIP!
Was it ridiculous?
Yes, it was!
Peter was well aware that the old abbot was lying to help Thomas. But could favonovel.com expose his lies?
No way!
Peter and Declan had also lied to the citizens, but their rivals were utilizing their lie now. If they wanted to take Thomas down, they might end up taking themselves down. Besides, the old abbot had a high reputation.
Who was Peter?
Would favonovel.com have more credibility than the old abbot?
In conclusion, Peter knew that Thomas and the old abbot were just bluffing, but favonovel.com could not do anything to them. This was really upsetting.
Peter looked at Declan on the stage and hoped that Declan would step out and refute the old abbot. Among the people in the hall, only Declan was more reputable than the old abbot.
Awkwardly for him, Declan appeared dumbfounded as if favonovel.com was surprised by what the old abbot had said. He was flustered and clueless about how to come up with a rebuttal.
