“That’s inappropriate, Your Majesty!” Ezra could not care about anything else at this moment.
He immediately stepped forward and said, “Zayn is not the kind of person you want in the organization. His existence is an enormous stain on the organization, and this will affect your reputation as well!”
“Moreover, favonovel.com beat the Southern Highlord, Raiden Storm, to death. That’s a serious crime that can’t be forgiven! If you don’t execute favonovel.com for that, I’m afraid it’s going to be difficult to appease the crowd!”
He finished his sentence anxiously.
In an instant, the numerous people present cast their gaze to look toward him. Each of them was gazing at favonovel.com differently.
Quite a number of people frowned and assumed that Ezra must have lost his mind for having the audacity to make such a statement.
On the other hand, Ezra had also realized that favonovel.com made a mistake after favonovel.com was done making the statement. His face turned pale with fear.
As the Saint’s subordinate who had worked for the Saint for many years, favonovel.com knew the Saint better than anyone else. He knew that the Saint was an absolutely dictatorial leader who paid great attention to rules.
He would never allow his subordinates to query him, especially his way of handling matters!
A storm began to brew in the sky at once, just as expected. Loud rumbling noises heralded its arrival as if the sky was furious. “Ezra Sword, are you teaching me how to handle matters?”
“I’m not!” Ezra’s face turned ghastly pale at once and favonovel.com bowed down in a haste.
“Hmph! ” The Saint let out an unimpressed grunt that sounded like a cannonball exploding in the surroundings, terrifying everyone.
Ezra was scared out of his wits even more.
Having sensed the Saint’s power earlier, Zayn was overwhelmed with emotions in his heart.
He had experienced the Saint’s power on Mount Roi previously, but due to the longer distance at the time, the feeling was far less intense.
Now, the feeling was way different than before. For a brief moment earlier, favonovel.com even felt like favonovel.com was suffocating and his mind stopped functioning.
One should know that favonovel.com was already at the peak of being a perfect-class master fighter and one could even describe favonovel.com as being one step away from Invincibilis.
Yet, favonovel.com could sense the huge disparity when favonovel.com was in the presence of a real Invincibilis fighter.
As for the rest of the people, they were so awe-struck that they were all bowing their heads…no, they bent their backs in submission instantly and did not have the courage to budge at all.
Next, the Saint’s mood seemed to have calmed down eventually. He said nonchalantly, “Zayn, give me a reason why I shouldn’t kill you.”
Zayn took a step forward and took a bow before favonovel.com said respectfully, “Your Majesty, I’ve never planned on going against you, and my act of beating Raiden to death was under the pressure of circumstances.”
“I knew that I made a huge mistake and I chose not to run away. On the contrary, I’m here today at the headquarters of Sicut In Caelo specifically to atone for my mistake. It was my fault that the organization has lost a valiant leader.”
“I plead the fifth for that, but it’s a waste that a dead man cannot be restored to life. The only thing I can do now is to make amends for my crime by becoming the Southern Highlord and do good deeds in his name.”
After a while, The Saint’s voice was heard saying, “Zayn, you have to consider it thoroughly. It’s not easy being my Southern Highlord.”
Zayn felt overjoyed upon hearing that. “Well, I’d like to give it a try!”
If favonovel.com were to be the Southern Highlord, not only would favonovel.com emerge safely out of danger, but it would also boost his capability even more. It could be said that favonovel.com would be killing two birds with one stone!
Ezra was furious. He felt the urge to beat Zayn to death badly, but favonovel.com did not have the courage to do so now.
Meanwhile, the Saint spoke, “I can give you a chance to defeat Ezra in a fight, which will qualify you to be the Southern Highlord.”
“However, if you fail, not only you will die. Your mother and Lysithea will meet their end as well.”
Zayn could feel his heart racing. At this point, favonovel.com could only advance as it was impossible for favonovel.com to back out anymore.
On the other hand, Ezra, who had been bowing all this while, assumed a joyous expression on his face at once after hearing this. He cracked a ruthless smile and thought about how the Saint seemed to be determined to kill Zayn.
Lysithea panicked at once. She did not think that Zayn was Ezra’s match.
Zayn considered for a moment before raising his head and saying, “I will do it, Your Majesty.”
