247 Contrasting Thoughts (2/2)
”We cannot let this slide. We need to exact revenge against that man or else we could no longer hold our head high. We need to stand our ground and kill that man!”
Divine Monarch Zu was his other half and they have been together for hundred thousands of year. So of course, he wouldn't let this slide. Dared to kill a woman of his possession? That's some guts there.
”Mateflower, I know that you are very mad that your wife was killed. But do remember that this young man is not someone that we could easily trifle with as we don't know what's his background.” Sovereign Trueknight said seriously, ”Besides, you are aware how easily he took down that large amount of monarchs. He left without any damage. So do you think it's that easy to exact revenge?”
”So we will let him go, then?” Mateflower sneered and glared daggers at Trueknight, ”If it's your wife who was killed there, will you say the same thing?”
”I will.” Trueknight gravely said, ”If that will make our constellation survive, I won't hesitate to hold back and let that guy be.”
”You...” Mateflower was enraged that he became speechless.
Indeed, Trueknight was deserving to be one of the experts holding the fort against enemies. He knew how to weigh the pros and cons of the action and be decisive enough to come into a conclusion with the best possible outcome.
And what he said, was spot on.
However, it was not the same with the other sovereigns.
”Trueknight, let me clear one thing.” Duxiao joined the conversation and asked, ”You are willing to stain the reputation our predecessors made up just for a single man?”
”Reputation is useless when you're dead, Duxiao.” Trueknight retorted, ”Not just anyone could we afford to offend. There are so many strong and unfathomable beings out there that can raze our constellation to the ground. Remember, aside from us, we only have one living Heavenly Saint here!”
Heavenly Saints were obviously stronger than Imperial Sovereigns. If we would talk about how strong Saints were, just imagine that even these 4 Imperial Sovereigns weren't sure if they could defeat a Heavenly Saint! Of course, there's a chance to defeat one given that Imperial Sovereigns were no pushovers.
”Reputation is useless when one's dead, you're right about that.” Mateflower answered, ”But I would rather die than eating this hatred down my throat!”
”Think rationally, Mateflower.” Finally, Blujin joined in, ”We can't bear to lose Imperial Sovereigns now that too many monarchs had died.”
”So Blujin, you are on Trueknight's side?” Duxiao's face darkened, ”I thought we were friends.”
Among them, Blujin and Duxiao was close to each other as they traveled the world together.
”We are friends. That's why I'm doing this, Duxiao.” Blujin said, ”Think about this that I owe you a favor.”
”So you're already concluding that even with 2 Sovereigns, we will still die in the end? How weak are we in your eyes?” Mateflower asked with killing intent being emitted.
”...” Blujin was speechless. Indeed, he was thinking that prior to the events reported, he felt that they would just be courting death.
”This is not underestimating you two.” Trueknight heavily said, ”This is playing safe and giving our constellation a way to survive!”
”Baaaam!” Mateflower shot up from his seat and said angrily, ”Seems like we will never conclude this properly. Then, I'm out.”
Following which, Mateflower slammed the door of the room in anger with Duxiao in tow.
