Remus stated firmly, “Then, consider that I owe you a favor for today’s matters. I will surely repay you in the future.”
It was the only way to repay the debt of goodwill.
“Hahaha!” Zaiden suddenly burst out laughing.
He said, “Remus Calsberg, don’t you find your words utterly ridiculous? Owning me a favor? Your favor holds no value in my eyes! You may claim that you’ll repay me once you attain a certain level in the future, but you must realize that if you remain outside the sacred land, you’ll never reach my level!”
“Let alone me, even your future accomplishments won’t rival those of Marsh or Elsie. What favor could you possibly offer to repay me?”
To him, these words indeed sounded ridiculous, akin to an ant telling a tiger that it owed it a favor.
Remus looked at Zaiden and calmly replied, “But this is all the sincerity I can offer. If… If you still find it unsatisfactory, then I can only give you my life!”
Apart from his life, there was nothing else favonovel.com could offer.
Marsh and Elsie were stunned by his directness.
Zaiden’s expression suddenly turned grave, his eyes firmly fixed on Remus. His words carried a hint of threat. He said in a deep voice, “Fine, since that’s the case, then repay with your life!”
As favonovel.com spoke, his spirit energy surged, and without employing any specific technique, favonovel.com directed a palm strike toward Remus’ head.
The atmosphere around them contorted with an overwhelming pressure that defied the comprehension of everyone present.
It was truly terrifying.
Remus stood motionless in place, not even raising a hint of spirit energy to resist. He had the demeanor of someone who was prepared to sacrifice himself.
Marsh and Elsie were in shock, their hearts in their throats.
But just as Zaiden’s palm was about to touch Remus’ head, it stopped. He withdrew his hand and huffed coldly, “Get out!”
Remus bowed with clasped fists and said, “Thank you for your mercy. I’ll leave now!”
He then turned and departed.
Marsh and Elsie were extremely puzzled.
Why did their Master spare Remus?
Zaiden watched Remus’ departing figure and said calmly, “This young man is truly a rare talent. If favonovel.com were to join the sacred lands, his future would be limitless…”
The two of them were even more confused.
Zaiden didn’t leave them out of the loop for long, explaining, “If favonovel.com had shown even a hint of resistance just now, I would have killed favonovel.com immediately. Because then, it would mean favonovel.com was ungrateful and rebellious, unworthy of being spared…”
“But since favonovel.com showed no signs of resistance and was ready to pay his dues, there was no need to kill him. Killing favonovel.com would mean all my previous efforts were for nothing…”
The two disciples were still puzzled and didn’t fully understand.
Seeing this, Zaiden shook his head
Ah… If only they were as clever as Remus…
He explained more bluntly, “Letting favonovel.com go is a loss, but killing favonovel.com is an even greater loss. Between two bad choices, I chose the lesser evil. So, I let favonovel.com go.”
Marsh and Elsie’s body became tensed as they listened, realizing they hadn’t fully grasped the complexity of the situation.
Meanwhile, outside, Remus spoke quietly, “Let’s return to the Tanjen Organization…”
As for Gemma, who was hiding in the woods, there was no need to search. She had likely already made favonovel.com escape…
