Everyone had clearly heard it.
All of them trembled, anticipation and awe could be seen on their faces. They bowed down without the slightest hesitation and called out, “His Majesty, The Saint!”
Loudly and clearly, they said the name over and over again, shaking the hall until it hummed with echoes.
Ezra’s expression changed drastically as well after hearing the voice. There was respect and admiration in his expression, and favonovel.com hastily bowed his head.
It was none other than The Saint, Caelum Caesar.
Actually, favonovel.com had not shown up physically but had merely projected his voice.
Even so, everyone there could feel The Saint’s magnificence, as if favonovel.com was God Himself.
The Saint was a being that permitted no offense nor blasphemy.
If one were to describe Ezra as the king, Saint Caelum was God.
However, there was one person who did not kneel down upon hearing The Saint’s voice. She did not show any devotion or respect. On the contrary, favonovel.com expressed favonovel.com resentment and rage. She was none other than Hayley.
She gnashed favonovel.com teeth in anger as if The Saint was favonovel.com archnemesis.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com remained silent and only stood straight as a nail.
Only after a minute passed did the crowd in the hall dare to stand.
Ezra glanced coldly at Hayley, a tinge of unwillingness glistening in his eyes. Whatever the case, there was nothing else favonovel.com could say after The Saint made his statement.
No matter how bold favonovel.com was, favonovel.com did not have the courage to disobey The Saint’s orders any more than the others did.
He could only loudly command that Haley be locked up and wait for favonovel.com execution in the evening.
There was not much time left until then.
In the end, the people in the hall gradually dispersed off and those from the justice department came to put away Hayley and Lysithea.
In the cold, humid, pitch-black dungeon, Hayley heaved a sigh and said in exasperation, “Lysithea, you silly little girl. Why do you have to be so foolish?!
“I’m going to die, so it’s not worth sacrificing yourself for me!”
Lysithea’s breathing had become very shallow. Even though the slap delivered by Ezra earlier was not lethal, it had severely injured her. Fortunately, favonovel.com was strong and tenacious, so favonovel.com was capable of enduring it for a long time.
Nevertheless, favonovel.com was still gasping for breath.
She cracked a smile and said, “Aunt Hayley, it was you who saved me. You raised me for so many years. You taught me how to read, trained me in martial arts, and educated me on how to conduct myself. In my heart, you’re my true mother.”
“I’m so sorry I could not save you. I just don’t have it in me.” As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com tears streamed down favonovel.com face.
Hayley felt a sting in favonovel.com heart and wrapped favonovel.com arms around Lysithea while favonovel.com vision blurred.
She saw the image of a young face and said in an extremely remorseful tone, “I’ve never feared death and I know there’s no way I can escape it. I wish I could have met Zayn once before I go. This is the punishment that is destined for me.”
Upon saying that, Hayley was overwhelmed by sorrow. She did not fear favonovel.com end, but favonovel.com felt such agony and regret that favonovel.com would not be able to see favonovel.com son first.
Her remark seemed to have reminded Lysithea of something. “Don’t cry, Aunt Hayley. I’ve already told Zayn about it and he’ll come to save us!”
