Chapter 2205 Defeat Me First
Forlevia shook her head adamantly. “No! Mommy cannot die! I won’t allow it to happen!”
“You…”
Edmund fell into a dilemma.
Am I really to strike Evie? Will the elders approve of my actions?
“Do you know that your mother has committed many crimes and murdered a lot of people? Do you know how much blood she has on her hands?” Edmund questioned.
Forlevia shook her head. “My mother must have been framed as killing isn’t in her nature. Furthermore, I don’t care about that. As long as I’m here, I will protect her!”
The elders hiding in the shadows began to worry as their worst fears had come true.
Forlevia had finally intervened.
Consequently, they agonized over whether they should get involved in the event of a battle.
“Haha, what a joke! The She-Devil’s daughter turns out to be The Cardinal Hall’s most talented fighter?”
“Looks like The Cardinal Hall is just a breeding ground for devils! This is ridiculous. They too are nothing but hypocrites!”
“Is The Cardinal Hall trying to protect the She-Devil instead?”
The crowds loud jeers humiliated The Cardinal Hall.
It was a disgrace for them to be somehow related to the She-Devil.
Therefore, there was a greater urgency to kill Zoey as they had to redeem their reputation.
“Stop spouting nonsense. When the child joined The Cardinal Hall, she was completely cut off from the outside world. Therefore, her mother has nothing to do with her and neither is She-Devil related to The Cardinal Hall.”
“Let me say this again. The She-Devil will be decapitated today by the Skyward Sword, and no one will stand in my way!” Edmund declared aloud.
“Haha, with the kid blocking you, do you dare do it?”
“I suppose not! I’m sure you won’t raise your hand against her.”
The crowd mocked Edmund.
“I’m not afraid to do anything. Whoever stops me from slaying Zoey will die!”
Edmund was infuriated by their comments.
Just when he took a step forward, Forlevia confronted him. “If you want to kill Mommy, you will have to get through me first!”
Boom!
Forlevia unleashed a terrifying aura that enveloped the entire area, causing everyone’s heart to skip a beat.
As for Edmund, he had never felt this pressured before.
The child seems stronger than Zoey! No wonder the elders have allowed her to train in the outside world. She is finally strong enough to do so.
Feeling fearful, Edmund’s expression grew solemn.
Before Forlevia appeared, he was the most talented fighter in The Cardinal Hall.
Now that she had taken over that title, he had long wanted to test her skills. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do so as she was still a kid.
However, Edmund realized at that moment that he had underestimated her as she was a lot stronger than he thought.
“Edmund, do you dare kill the child? And then slay Zoey after that?”
The crowd began instigating him.
However, Edmund decided to stay his hand against Forlevia while the four divine generals fell silent.
If the elders found out that they had hurt Forlevia, they would pay a terrible price for it.
Hence, no one from The Cardinal Hall dared to touch her.
“Haha, we knew it. You have no guts,” the crowd ridiculed.
At that moment, Donald signaled for everyone to be quiet.
He coldly asserted, “It’s understandable that the child has stopped The Cardinal Hall General from killing the She-Devil. After all, she is one of them. Therefore, this is where we can help. Leave the child to me. Her father has broken the Garrison clan’s rules, and I will punish her for it. In the meantime, you should kill Zoey!”
Donald took a step forward.
Meanwhile, Edmund smiled as Donald had provided a solution to his crisis.
He couldn’t raise his hand against Forlevia, but it didn’t mean others couldn’t too.
With that, Donald charged ferociously at Forlevia.
By tying her down, Zoey was totally exposed to Edmund’s attacks.
