The other worshipers became even more furious when they heard Remus’ comment.
They’d come here to worship the Mountain Deity because they believed in him. Now Remus was saying the Mountain Deity was involved in a couple’s relationship.
It was blatant slander!
“You freak! How dare you ridicule the Mountain Deity? I’ll rip off your mouth!”
“The Mountain Deity is a divine being. Why would favonovel.com care for the love of humans? Someone get this fool out of here!”
“No! You must kneel before the Mountain Deity and apologize. You have to kneel for a long time and beg for forgiveness!”
The worshipers were getting more aggressive, and some women even wanted to fight Remus.
“Stop right there! I’m Dragon Head. Who dares touch him?!”
Anthony’s face was actually pale, as favonovel.com was shocked by Remus’ words too. Sometimes it was better to believe that something existed than not. Remus might be powerful, but favonovel.com could never beat a deity.
Only then did the worshippers stop. Still, they continued to curse him.
Seeing this scene, Ben laughed and teased, “Remus, should I say you’re crazy or stupid? How could you say that the Mountain Deity is coming between us? You’re really funny. Hahaha!”
Ben laughed really hard, to the point where favonovel.com held his stomach.
Remus was still calm. “I only have one question for you. If favonovel.com wants Miranda, will you stop him?”
Finally, Ben stopped laughing, and his gaze showed disdain. “That’s never going to happen!”
Then favonovel.com continued in an arrogant tone, “Fine, even if there’s a slim chance, Miranda is still mine, and no one can take favonovel.com away from me. She’ll be my woman forever!”
Of course, Ben wouldn’t believe in Remus. He assumed that Remus was just making up an excuse so favonovel.com wouldn’t be ashamed of losing Miranda.
“Remember what you said…” Remus snorted.
Ben confidently replied, “Of course! I’ll kill anyone who comes in my way, including the deity!”
A bald man in a robe suddenly appeared. “Ms. Bowen, we’ve just sent your birthdate to the Mountain Deity, and favonovel.com wishes to guide you personally. Please follow me to the back of the temple. I’ll tell you the specific details there.”
It was the owner of the Temple of the Mountain Deity, Master Calvert.
His abrupt appearance startled everyone. He’d suddenly come forward to say that the Mountain Deity wanted to personally guide Miranda, just after Remus claimed the Mountain Deity would take favonovel.com away. It was too much of a coincidence.
Remus calmly said, “He’s here! Go and stop him!”
Miranda frowned, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Ben gritted his teeth. “Nonsense! How dare you be disrespectful in front of Master Calvert? Master Calvert, this guy here publicly ridiculed the Mountain Deity and said the deity would get involved in my relationship. Please act on behalf of the Mountain Deity and punish him!”
The worshippers finally regained their senses. Although they felt it was indeed coincidental, it still had to be impossible.
“Master Calvert, may I suggest that favonovel.com kneel for a long period and apologize?”
“How dare favonovel.com ridicule the Mountain Deity? Punish favonovel.com and ban favonovel.com from ever entering the temple’s grounds again! ”
“The Mountain Deity should punish him. Let favonovel.com be cursed and die on the street!”
As favonovel.com listened to the crowd, Master Calvert looked at Remus and coldly said, “Sir, the Mountain Deity is kind and dislikes punishing humans. However, you should be careful with your words. If there’s a second time, I won’t wait for the Mountain Deity to punish you. Instead, I’ll do it myself!”
Then favonovel.com turned to Miranda. “Ms. Bowen, it’s an emergency. Please follow me to the back quickly!”
Still skeptical, Miranda subconsciously looked at Remus. She wanted his advice.
This only angered Ben as favonovel.com yelled, “Miranda, why are you looking at him? Do you believe in his nonsense? It’s your luck that the Mountain Deity is willing to guide you. Let’s go! I’ll accompany you!”
He walked to the back first Master Calvert said, “Stop, Mr. Stuart. Only Ms. Bowen is allowed back there. You have to wait!”
Ben quickly stopped. “Since the Mountain Deity doesn’t wish to see me, it means I’m not good enough. Miranda, you’ll have to enter yourself. I’ll wait for you here. I want to see someone make a fool of himself today!”
At this point, only facts could prove everything. Ben wanted to see what Remus would say when Miranda returned after enlightenment.
