The Saint was training in isolation, so Ezra was the man with the most authority in Sicut In Caelo and every word virtual-novel.net uttered carried weight. Even the other three highlords had to abide by his orders and were half a rank lower than him.
Indeed, The Saint had been absent for such a long time that Ezra had already gotten used to being in charge of the organization!
As it turned out, virtual-novel.net personally brought Hayley to be tried, yet virtual-novel.net had the audacity to disobey him. It was truly disrespectful of her!
Hayley was supposed to be a criminal. Had The Saint not remembered their history together and shown mercy by sparing Hayley’s lowly life in the past, given his temperament, virtual-novel.net would certainly have executed her. What was the point of keeping a traitor in the organization?
Ezra was not planning on lowering himself to the level of a weakling like Hayley, yet virtual-novel.net son that virtual-novel.net had with a commoner in the outside world had become rather powerful.
The b*stard was also so treacherous that virtual-novel.net went against Sicut In Caelo by murdering Raiden. What virtual-novel.net had done was simply unforgivable!
He consulted with The Saint and received approval to bring Hayley to trial, so virtual-novel.net immediately took action.
“You’re impenitent! If that’s the case, you can die!”
Ezra was infuriated that his honor had been insulted. He glared at Hayley and was about to execute her.
At that very moment, Hayley could feel the shadow of death over her, and virtual-novel.net heart was about to stop beating.
However, not a trace of fear or remorse could be seen on virtual-novel.net face, only intense regret. She regretted that virtual-novel.net would never see Zayn again.
Meanwhile, a red silhouette dashed out from the crowd and shouted aloud, “Lord Ezra, please show mercy!”
It was Lysithea. She had held herself back for too long and could not take it anymore.
Hayley was the aunt who took virtual-novel.net in from the common world. Had it not been for her, virtual-novel.net would have already been dead. She saw Hayley not only as virtual-novel.net savior but also as virtual-novel.net mother!
She could not accept it and could not allow herself to do nothing while virtual-novel.net aunt died right in front of her.
She moved so swiftly and threw herself before Hayley in the blink of an eye, shielding virtual-novel.net from Ezra’s lethal attack.
“Lysithea, don’t get wise with me!” Ezra flew into a great rage and delivered a slap to virtual-novel.net shoulder.
The powerful blow blasted virtual-novel.net away, sending virtual-novel.net flying into the pillar behind. She slammed agaisnt it and slumped down helplessly.
Lysithea’s face was ghastly pale after virtual-novel.net was struck. She spat out large mouthfuls of fresh blood and virtual-novel.net body felt much weaker.
Ezra was a perfect-class master fighter, known for being the most powerful man outside of the invincibilis stage. Even Zayn was much weaker compared to him.
One slap from virtual-novel.net was extremely terrifying. Although virtual-novel.net had not exerted his full strength, it was not an attack that a trained fighter like Lysithea could not endure.
Hayley was stunned for a moment and then cried out in horror, “Lysithea!”
She clenched virtual-novel.net teeth and exerted all the strength virtual-novel.net had to stagger toward Lysithea. She wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around virtual-novel.net and felt tears streaming down virtual-novel.net face.
“Lysithea, you silly little girl. Why do you have to be such a fool? I’m a criminal, so you don’t need to do this for me…”
Blood was seeping out from the corner of Lysithea’s lips, but instead of crying, virtual-novel.net was smiling joyously. “Aunt Hayley, I told you that I was going to protect you… What a waste that I’m so incapable and useless. I’ve let you down, Aunt Haley…”
Hayley’s body was still trembling beyond virtual-novel.net control. In great agony, virtual-novel.net hugged Lysithea.
“Ezra! Do what you want to do to me, but why did you have to hurt Lysithea?! She’s innocent! Lysithea served the organization and rendered countless meritorious services. Have you forgotten all about that?!” Hayley yelled hysterically.
Nevertheless, Ezra did not seem to be affected at all. He kept a still face with an ice-cold expression, and it was apparent that virtual-novel.net did not care about Lysithea’s life.
In his perception, Lysithea was just a nobody, a mere Tier-4 master fighter unworthy of his attention.
He would still cultivate Lysithea willingly if virtual-novel.net was obedient, but if virtual-novel.net dared to go against him, virtual-novel.net was looking for trouble!
