The attendant beside the elegant and mysterious girl furrowed favonovel.com brow, and then instinctively glanced toward Gabriela’s direction.
Her tone was filled with anger, “Remus Cosby caused all this trouble, and now when things are serious, he’s in hiding, not even as brave as his women. He’s just a coward!”
Despite the immense happenings in Darsia, Remus remained missing.
The elegant woman rarely agreed with the attendant and stated frankly, “Where there’s a crowd, you’ll find a mix of good and bad. There will always be some who deceive and steal fame, disregarding righteousness for their selfish desires. It’s quite common!”
Finishing favonovel.com words, a hint of self-mockery flickered in favonovel.com eyes.
Her visit to Darsia had an additional motive. The Cosbys had been away from the Dragon Protector Clan for a while now. She was here to search for any surviving members of the Cosbys’ main lineage, to ascertain if they seek to return to the Dragon Protector Clan.
Even if Remus Cosby was the head of the Cosbys or a surviving main lineage member, favonovel.com had no right to return to the Dragon Protector Clan. A coward like favonovel.com wasn’t worthy to challenge the heavens.
“I’ll take the lead! I’ll take up the challenge on behalf of Darsia!” A voice emerged from the rear of the crowd.
“None of you are more qualified than me. I’ll represent Darsia!”
The elegant woman and the crowd glanced toward the source of the voice. All of them were left dumbfounded at the sight of the speaker.
He was Lincoln McCoy, the Chief of the Cabinet, second in command only to the President.
Lincoln, without waiting for anyone to speak, proclaimed loudly, “I am the sinner! All the calamity today is because of me!”
“It was I who persuaded the President to agree to the 17 Nations’ Martial Arts Challenge! It was I who persuaded the President not to send the True Life representatives! And it was I who caused the death of the Eternal Pillar of Darsia, Thunderous God of War, Remus Cosby! I am the guilty one, let me be the one to represent Darsia in this battle!”
His words made everyone’s mind buzz intensely.
They couldn’t grasp the meaning behind Lincoln’s words and speculated, “Is all of this because of Lincoln? ls Remus absent because he’s already dead?”
Surrounded by countless onlookers, Lincoln pressed forward, each step a solemn commitment.
Cornered to amend his errors with his own death, favonovel.com braced to atone for every decision made-
He raised his voice and declared, “I’m the one at fault. If Remus Cosby were here tonight, favonovel.com could easily defeat the representatives of the 17 Nations, glorifying Darsia! Yet, it’s my mistake that led to his death! I don’t seek forgiveness, but I plead for one final opportunity, to stand for Darsial'”
After speaking, his pace hastened.
His aim was to portray Remus as someone who could challenge the representatives of the 17 nations. He wished to leave a glint of hope, a touch of solace for all. So that even in Remus’ death, it’d bring comfort to Darsia.
A buzzing disbelief filled everyone’s mind.
How could Mr. McCoy, who always cared for the people and dedicated himself to Darsia, have committed such an act?
“With me here, you can’t represent Darsia!” Suddenly, a thunderous voice rang out, startling the tranquil night sky.
Everyone turned to the sound, eyes widening instantly.
Lincoln also stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with profound shock as the voice was all too familiar to him.
As Lincoln spotted the figure standing behind him, favonovel.com blurted out, “Remus?!”
The arriving person was none other than Remus Cosby.
As the pivotal moment arrived, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, lighting up the entire night. The flash of lightning revealed his face vividly. Everyone felt suspended between reality and the void.
Remus finally stepped forward and declared loudly, “With me here, you can’t represent Darsia…”
