Chapter 5762
Stefan smiled.
“Let me ask you something. Do you think a young God of War like Harvey would come to this place for no reason? Do you really think the outskirts can hold such a prominent figure?”
Aryan frowned for a moment. “I don’t think so, but he came here with a plan. If this keeps up, our ceremony might get affected.”
Stefan smiled.
“Exactly.
“What’s the biggest reason such a top talent like him is attracted to a small place like this? The very thing that’s about to show up at the ceremony, of course.
“Once the Nine-Eyed Beads are united, one can use it to obtain eternal life!
“It’s not just Harvey. I’m sure prominent figures from all over the place have shown up here by now… Harvey isn’t the first, and he won’t be the last either.”
Aryan pondered about the situation for a moment. “But there’s no need to hide all this for Harvey…”
“That’s simply not true,” Stefan said, standing up.
“Soon, the outskirts will be in chaos.
“The Aenar Temple has proper support, but that doesn’t guarantee our victory. If we watch as these outsiders fight, however, we might just be able to reap the rewards in the end.
“Mr. Henrik is one of the strongest Gods of War there is. There’s a chance he’ll finally break through and find a way to unite man and nature. He might just be the first expert there is to ever do so…
“Unfortunately, he’s simply outnumbered.
“We’ll let those people fight. That’s how we’ll get our opportunity!”
For a long time, Aryan’s expression kept shifting.
“I’m sure you have your plans, Mr. Stefan,” he finally said, “but I have one last question. Do we kill the Islanders? Or do we let them be?”
“Why kill them?” Stefan replied.
“Our cooperation with them is only just beginning. It’d be bad if we just ended things here.
“Teach them a lesson-make sure they know that we had no choice but to stand against them this time. But if they want revenge…
“We’ll fully support them.”
“Harvey York! You bastard! I’ll kill you!”
At four in the evening, Takai woke up from his nightmare. His entire body was covered in bandages. It was a miserable sight.
When he tried to stand, he realized that his entire body was unbelievably weak.
He was crippled!
Decades worth of training, gone in just a single day!
Thinking about that, Takai gritted his teeth so hard that he almost broke a tooth.
He spouted every single vile insult he could. If words could kill, Harvey would’ve been ripped to shreds by now.
The rest of the Kawashima family exchanged glances; they didn’t know how to comfort Takai at all. After all, his strength wouldn’t just come back with a few words.
Nanako’s eyes twitched; she then stepped forward.
“That bastard snuck up on you, Uncle! If that weren’t the case, then based on your strength, you wouldn’t have been defeated!” she yelled.
