Chapter 1149 - : Hermit (2/2)

“Leave quickly. The people from the League of Guardians want to kill Professor Ming,” Beryl immediately whispered when she saw Zhou Wen.

“Weren’t they here earlier?” Zhou Wen asked.

“Uncle Buzz only wanted to defeat Professor Ming. He definitely didn’t have the intention to kill anyone. However, the upper echelons of the League of Guardians are different. They want Professor Ming’s life. It’s best you leave quickly and quietly. Don’t let anyone discover you. I think he will take into account our Cape family and won’t attack you on campus. You have to be careful once you leave…” Before Beryl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an abrupt voice.

“Why would I take into account the Cape family?” Hermit’s voice made Beryl shiver. She turned her head and saw a familiar figure walking down the long corridor.

He was wearing something like a cloak. Although it didn’t completely cover his face, his face remained indiscernible.

Hermit walked over. His speed wasn’t fast, but his gait seemed to have a unique rhythm. Every step seemed to be in cadence with the beating of one’s heart, making them feel flustered as their heart raced.

Beryl took two steps back in fright as Zhou Wen pressed down on her shoulder and pulled her behind him.

“I’ve never met you before. What’s your name?” Zhou Wen asked when he found the person unfamiliar. He definitely hadn’t seen him before.

“The moment I contracted with the Guardian, my name became meaningless. The Guardian’s name is my name. You can call me Hermit,” Hermit said as he walked.

“Hermit… He’s one of the four Heavenly Kings of the League of Guardians…” Beryl exclaimed softly as her face turned pale.

There were more than four Terror-grade existences in the League of Guardians, but the four Heavenly Kings were the most terrifying. Even the members of the six families felt fear just from the mention of their names.

Beryl finally knew why Buzz had forbidden her from asking. With this person around, even if the head of the Cape family personally came, he probably wouldn’t be able to stop him from killing.

“You aren’t his match. Run…” Beryl turned around to urge Ming Xiu to escape, but she saw Ming Xiu standing there motionless as though he hadn’t heard her.

Beryl wanted to walk over, but she was stopped by Tsukuyomi.

“He can’t move now unless you want him to die,” Tsukuyomi said indifferently.

Beryl was immediately stunned. She carefully observed Ming Xiu and realized that something was amiss with him.

“Could he be breaking through?” Beryl said with a complicated expression.

“Yes,” Tsukuyomi answered affirmatively.

“What should we do? Why does it have to be at this time?” Beryl was anxious and at a loss.

“We’ll leave after he breaks through,” Tsukuyomi said.

“How can we wait until then?” Beryl didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If they could wait, she wouldn’t be reeling with anxiety.

They could wait, but Hermit wouldn’t.

Beryl turned to look outside. To her surprise, Hermit had stopped outside the door and didn’t rush in.

“Hermit? I’ve never heard of you. What are you doing here?” When Beryl heard Zhou Wen’s words, she nearly fainted.

To her, provoking Hermit in such a manner was equivalent to him hanging himself in front of Death.
