Upon hearing that, Zayn felt his heart racing and he came to a halt. He immediately turned around and asked in a deep voice, “What did you say? The former Saintess and Lady Lysithea are going to be executed? What crime have they committed?” The two people were slightly stunned by the sight of him. It was apparent that they had never seen him before, but they did not recognize him in any case. “You haven’t heard of such big news? You’re so out of date. Did you just return from the outside?”“That’s right. The news of this incident has already spread through the entire organization. How can you not know about it? It was not that long ago when Sir Ezra took the former Saintess to try her in Caelo Hall.”The two men were not suspicious of Zayn at all. They assumed he had just come back from a mission outside and was unaware of this major development. It was very apparent that these people were just minor members of the organization who held low positions. They had never seen Zayn
“That’s right. You’re just a nobody, yet you have the audacity to badmouth the highlord. I can see that you’re trying to get yourself killed!”Zayn behaved as if he was frightened. He lowered his voice and said with slight stubbornness, “I’m only telling the truth. The former Saintess never betrayed the organization, so she shouldn’t be executed no matter how bad her crime is. As for Lady Lysithea, that doesn’t make sense either. She was only standing up for the former Saintess and begging for mercy on her behalf… That’s why I said that Ezra is such an authoritarian. He used his position to vent his own anger in the name of public interest!”These two insignificant people became even more terrified after seeing that Zayn had the courage to make such an accusation. They assumed he was a hothead, but they were not very strong-minded either. After hearing Zayn’s argument, they started to believe that Ezra had gone too far. It was because, to their knowledge, the former Saintess had neve
Zayn took a deep breath once again to force himself calm while his mind was working at full speed. The more dire the situation was, the calmer he had to be. He could tell he would not be able to escape from Sicut In Caelo with his mother and Lysithea when they were surrounded by so many warriors.There was also The Saint who had already transcended beyond humanity and had unfathomable powers.Hence, he had to outsmart them all. He just needed to figure out how. In the meantime, his mother Hayley and Lysithea were led by the crowd to a spacious location. Numerous people had formed rings around the area. There were a total of two to three thousand of them, all members of Sicut In Caelo. Moreover, a large portion of them were acquired fighters, and there were quite a few highly skilled master fighters as well. Combined, they would be a formidable fighting force.After seeing that, Zayn felt even more heavyhearted. There were so many people that they could kill him just by
In the crowd, Zayn clenched his fists tightly in rage after hearing the charges. His chest was burning with anger, and he felt like he was about to explode like a volcano!In the end, the old man looked down at Hayley and said in a judicial tone, “Hayley King, do you plead guilty?”Hayley bit her lower lip tightly. As she listened to the groundless charges, her head was lowered and her body trembled beyond her control. She realised that Ezra had been so diligent in tarnishing her reputation, setting her up to seem like a heinous criminal, in order to make himself appear righteous in comparison. In any case, she was all out of options. The entire scene fell silent at once. Everyone held their breath and stared at Hayley closely to see if she would plead guilty. The old man furrowed his brow and berated, “Hayley King, I shall ask you one last time, do you plead guilty?!”Hayley raised her head, her lips ghastly pale while she said in an imploring tone, “I plead guilty but can yo
The blades were about to drop down on their heads when all of a sudden, two coins flew out from the crowd, followed by two sonic booms. The coins were travelling at supersonic speed and sounded like they were about to rent the air apart. It only took a brief moment for the blades that were still in the air to plummet down. When the blades were hit by these coins, two loud clangs reverberated! It was so clear and loud that one could even see sparks flying off the blades. The two burly men let out an agonizing scream when the blades slipped out of their hands instantly. The impact was so huge that their thumb webspaces were ripped and they bled. One could see just how powerful the force of the two coins was一it even surpassed the power of an ordinary bullet!The unexpected turn of events caught the attention of everyone at once. They were so stunned that they were incapable of producing a reaction immediately. They did not expect someone to have the courage to come and stop the executi
She was not terribly surprised to learn that Zayn was around. On the contrary, she was very concerned and she instinctively bit her lower lips tightly. A voice was heard coming from the crowd of people in the meantime. “Ezra Sword, I can see that you’re not that impressive. You claim to be the most powerful fighter under Invincibilis, but you can’t even find me.”Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ezra’s expression grew even colder. He looked toward Zayn’s direction swiftly and found him in an instant…His pupils constricted at once. It was not his first time meeting Zayn, but he never expected Zayn to have the audacity to show up here. On the other hand, those standing around Zayn, who were initially very confused, were now mindblown upon witnessing the scene. The insignificant duo was completely astounded and stared at him in bewilderment. “Y-you...you…”They stared at Zayn, unable to form coherent words as a shiver ran down their spines and their breathing quickened. Zayn t
Observing from the side, Lysithea’s face was covered in tears as well. She felt that it had been a wise choice for her to send for Zayn. The entire scene fell silent at once. No one made the slightest noise as they watched the mother and son who had just been reunited after a long absence at the execution site. Ezra assumed a cold expression, his gaze as piercing as ice. He did not make a move immediately. Instead, he looked down at Zayn from above with his lips curled into a ruthless, cold grin. Zayn had actually shown up well beyond his expectations indeed. However, it was a pleasant surprise to him because it would save him so much time and effort now that he could just take Zayn’s life right here and now. Ezra was not concerned at all that Zayn would still be able to escape after entering the place. In fact, he was in a great mood now so he was not in a rush anymore. “You actually turned up, Zayn! That’s good, very well!” Ezra burst out laughing aloud. “You choose to cras
“All of you shall die.” Ezra sneered. Hayley realized that Ezra could not possibly let Zayn go, so she immediately turned around and said to Zayn, “Zayn, run quickly. Leave me and just go!”Zayn held her hand and said in all apparent seriousness, “Don’t worry, mom. I won’t leave you. I told you that I’m getting you and Lysithea out of here today, and I will certainly do what I’ve promised.”Hayley was stunned for a moment. Soon afterward, she said anxiously, “Dammit, why are you being so stubborn? You have no idea what kind of place this is. You can’t possibly get me out of here!”Zayn stood up and said to Ezra in defiance, “Ezra, you claim that you’re the most powerful fighter under Invincibilis. I shall issue you a challenge today. Are you going to accept the challenge?”He was filled with a heroic spirit when he made that declaration. His voice was deafening and his presence so overbearing that the sky rumbled loudly as if it was trembling in fear. The numerous Sicut In Cael
