Chapter 5691
A monk behind Stefan was showing murderous intent in his eyes.
Stefan’s breathing almost stopped at the same time.
Harvey’s actions were no different from killing him.
For the sake of all the sects, nothing could happen to the legendary Nine-Eyed Beads. If not, even the Aenar Temple wouldn’t be able to give him an explanation, let alone Stefan.
Not just Evermore, even the sects here knew that everlasting life could be achieved with the nine beads combined.
The One-Eyed Bead had been hidden for a long time. Now that it did appear, there was a possibility to witness the legend.
And yet, the One-Eyed Bead was about to be destroyed because of Harvey’s recklessness!
If that actually happened, the Aenar Temple wouldn’t hesitate to take out Stefan.
“The legends will end here, everyone…”
Harvey smiled.
“Nobody will be able to witness all Nine-Eyed Beads in the same place anymore. People sure like tragedies!”
Harvey applied more force to his thumbs.
Everyone gasped. Aria couldn’t even bear to see it anymore. Swoosh!
Stefan instinctively rushed forward, grabbing Harvey’s hand.
“No! You can’t!”
Harvey’s hand froze.
Everyone seemed confused. Nobody expected the bead to be that important to Stefan and the Aenar Temple.
Harvey smiled at Stefan.
“What do you think you’re doing? This is mine, I can break it if I want to. What does it have to do with you?”
Stefan gritted his teeth.
“You shouldn’t cross the line that easily, Harvey! Give yourself a chance to survive! If not, you won’t be able to pay the price!”
“Why do you care?”
Harvey tapped Stefan’s face with a cold glare.
“What does it have to do with you? I can keep the bead intact.
“But I’ll have to see an actual apology from you. Swear in the name of your sect… If you lay even a single finger on me or my friends, then you’re a damn coward!
“Your words might not be worth a damn… But I do like to see the look on your face when you can’t do a thing to me.”
‘Apologize? Swear in the name of his sect?!’
Everyone was in an uproar.
Harvey’s words completely choked Stefan.
To consuls like Stefan, promises were the most important thing. Even sects held their promises in high regard. If Stefan swore in front of the entire crowd, he wouldn’t be able to go against Harvey his entire life.
“It’s just a bead, Mr. Stefan! Just let him break it!”
Miley stepped forward, trying to de-escalate things.
“It’s his anyway! We don’t even care!”
Naturally, she disliked Harvey acting all high and mighty.
‘Who does he think he is? He thinks he can play with a consul like that?!’
She completely mistook the entire situation at that very moment.
Harvey smiled.
“Conditions have changed. You’ll have to kneel now…”
