Chapter 2720
As the news spread quickly throughout Earland, people began talking about it.
In the palace of Earland, the eldest prince, Aubrey, and the second prince, Bruton, usually at loggerheads, now stood shoulder to shoulder. They looked at Erin who was sitting at one side, then turned their gaze to the queen who sat on a splendid golden throne.
Bruton was the first to speak, "Queen Mother, that Fade is too arrogant. This time, we have to act and teach him a lesson." Aubrey also spoke up, "Queen Mother, that fellow insulted Erin. The royal family must avenge ourselves on him or lose face."
After listening to the two of them, the queen did not respond, but looked at Erin and asked softly, "Erin, what do you think about this?"
Hearing that, Erin's beautiful eyes began to ripple with tears. She gently bit her lip, bowed her head, and rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands, giving her a pitiful look.
"I ll listen to you, Queen Mother."
The little princess's pitiful look immediately made the queen feel sorry for her. She said, "The royal house of Earland is not to be insulted."
"That so-called press conference, send Gerante there with some men."
"Yes!" Aubrey and Bruton said at the same time.
Erin also whispered, "Thank you, Queen Mother!"
It was time to leave.
Aubrey and Bruton were still concerned. They greeted Erin and left.
Seeing the two left, Erin, who looked so pitiful before, now gave a small smile as a scarlet color flashed in her eyes. She whispered to herself, "That guy still dares to come to Earland. Last time, he destroyed one of my avatars. This time, I'm going to occupy his body and make him my vessel." Then, she turned around and left.
At the same time, in the Sacred Hall, a priest wearing a black robe was receiving a report from a man kneeling before him. "You mean that Fade not only came to Earland but is also holding a press conference to announce it to the public?"
The kneeling man hurriedly nodded. "Mr. Mauss, that's exactly what happened."
The black-robed priest named Mr. Mauss smiled and said, "Since he has thrown himself into our trap, we shall play with him. When the time comes, send Garay."
"Yes, Mr. Mauss!" The subordinate respectfully acknowledged before leaving.
Mr. Mauss stood up, rolled up his black robe, and slowly walked deeper into the Sacred Hall.
After arriving at his room, Mr. Mauss did not go in. Instead, he kept walking until he finally arrived in front of a small stone house. With a gentle wave of his hand, an invisible force that enveloped the entrance of the stone house dissipated. He then pushed open the door and entered the stone house.
The sound of Mr. Mauss entering woke the person in the stone house, who looked up.
If anyone else saw this scene, they would be extremely surprised.
That was because the person Mr. Mauss had imprisoned in this small stone house was none other than the Sacred Hall's Saintess, Celine. However, the usually soft and holy Celine was currently in a humiliating state.
Her thin clothes barely covered the key parts of her body. Her body was covered in bloodstains and her bones were showing.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Her originally delicate and holy face was now red and swollen. Her hair was in a mess. It was apparent that she had been brutalized.
"Celine, will you... repent?" Mr. Mauss asked in a deep voice as he stood in front of her.
Celine raised her head and looked at him. A mocking smile appeared on her lips as she shook her head. "Repent?"
"I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I
repent?"
"You were led astray by the heretic and let him go on purpose. Shouldn't you repent of such a grievous sin?" He asked expressionlessly.
"Heretic? Haha, who's the heretic? Is
it heresy to think differently?" She sneered. "Fade didn't violate me, nor did he insult Princess Erin. You framed him!"
He shook his head, his face full of disappointment. "Celine, you're the Saintess of the Sacred Hall, yet you've been blinded by heresy. I'm giving you a chance. If you still insist on being insensible, then nobody will be able to save you."
She spat out a mouthful of blood, her face resolute. "I'm the Saintess designated by the Sacred Lord. You aren't qualified to punish me." "You should repent!"
Mr. Mauss sighed and shook his head. He turned around and walked out of the stone house. At the same time, he waved his hand.
An invisible energy washed over the door like a wave, sealing it.
In the stone cabin, lying on the stone, Celine mumbled to herself, "The truth is the truth. No matter how realistic a lie is, it's not the truth."
On that day, Queen Hotel that was located in the center of Mist City was exceptionally lively.
It was 9 o'clock in the morning. There was another hour to go before the press conference began.
Numerous media outlets and reporters rushed to the scene to report on the press conference that had garnered so much attention. However, in contrast to the media, almost none of the celebrities and aristocrats whom Fade had invited showed up.
The few who did come mixed with the onlookers and did not sit in the VIP seats prepared by him.
After all, he was still a criminal wanted by the royal family and the Sacred Hall. Furthermore, no one knew what he had in store for the press conference.
Therefore, these aristocrats and celebrities hid amongst the crowd for fear of being implicated, waiting to see what would happen next. Fade watched all this from backstage.
He had been expecting them to act this way. Therefore, he didn't say much, leaving the VIP seats empty.
Time ticked by. Soon, it was time for the press conference to begin.
At that moment, there were only two or three people sitting on the largest VIP seats in the middle.
Fade ignored them and walked up with a calm face.
Suddenly, the air was filled with clicking sounds as the cameras took pictures.
Some people deliberately took photos of Fade and the empty seats off the stage, suggesting a strong contrast, and quickly posted them.
He sat down on the stage.
The reporters below rushed over in a flash.
"Mr. Chen, what is the purpose of your press conference?"
"Fade, you're still a wanted man in Earland. Weren't you afraid of being caught when you entered the country?"
"Mr. Chen, it seems that the celebrities and aristocracy you publicly invited didn't show up. The seats below are still empty!"
Fade did not respond to the
reporters questions, but he
suddenly raised his head and looked
out of the hotel. The corners of his
mouth curled into a smile as he whispered, "Are you finally bere?"
