Ezra heaved a sigh of relief but felt no joy. He had been defeated and utterly at that.
Zayn said to him, “You’ve lost.”
“Yes, I’ve lost.” Ezra lowered his head and there was no telling how virtual-novel.net was feeling.
After that, Zayn paid virtual-novel.net no more attention. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked toward Lysithea standing below the mountain and cracked a bright smile at her.
Lysithea was stunned. It took virtual-novel.net close to five seconds before virtual-novel.net recovered from the surprise. Huge drops of tears rolled down from virtual-novel.net eyes. Her body then went limp and virtual-novel.net lost consciousness.
Her physical condition was already close to the limits of its endurance, and virtual-novel.net had only held on with great effort. When virtual-novel.net could finally relax, virtual-novel.net fainted at once.
Zayn’s expression changed drastically. He got down from the mountain at full speed to catch Lysithea in his arms.
He checked virtual-novel.net pulse and found that virtual-novel.net was still breathing. He felt a little relieved to know virtual-novel.net was alive.
The rest of the crowd gawked at virtual-novel.net in respect and shock.
They could not help giving way to virtual-novel.net upon noticing his arrival.
Zayn raised his head and looked toward the sky, and soon enough, The Saint’s voice declared. “From today onward, Zayn Larson will hold the post of Southern Highlord.”
Upon hearing the voice, Zayn was finally unburdened. It was fortunate that The Saint did not go back on his own word.
Zayn had overcome the danger and saved his mother and Lysithea.
His mother Hayley was astounded as well when virtual-novel.net woke up and learned of the news. She could not believe it.
After getting verification from Lysithea, virtual-novel.net held Zayn’s hands tightly, virtual-novel.net face covered in tears.
Zayn took the position of Southern Highlord in place of Raiden Storm. It was a major event that was not only important to virtual-novel.net but to the organization.
The next day, a grand appointment ceremony was held in Sicut In Caelo.
Other than Ezra, all the other members attended the event.
With Zayn taking his place as an esteemed highlord, countless members attempted to flatter him. The statuses of his mother and Lysithea had risen as well.
Despite all this, Zayn did not become conceited. He knew that his position in Sicut In Caelo had been given to virtual-novel.net by the formidable Saint who had yet to make an appearance. The Saint could immediately demote virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net wished to do so.
He had a feeling that The Saint would ask to see him.
He would like to meet the mysterious Caelum as well. He wondered if there was anything physically different about the man.
On the third day of his reign as Southern Highlord, The Saint finally summoned him.
Hayley’s expression changed drastically when virtual-novel.net heard. She tugged at Zayn and said, “You can’t meet him, Zayn.”
“Why?” Zayn was rather puzzled.
Could it be that his mother was still worried that The Saint would harm him? Given The Saint’s unfathomable power, it did not seem necessary.
His mother evaded the subject and refused to clarify the situation.
Zayn patted virtual-novel.net arm and consoled her, saying it was impossible for him, the Southern Highlord, to refuse a summons from The Saint.
When virtual-novel.net left, Hayley’s expression was overwhelmed with emotion, and virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth in rage. “That damned old bag! How does virtual-novel.net still have the nerve to meet Zayn…”
