162 Objection (2/2)

Even the announcer felt that his words truly makes sense, but he couldn't show impartiality and just listen to his opinion alone, he also had to get the opinion of the other party in question.

”Do you have anything to say about this?”

”How embarrassing.” Raven said with a deadpan voice.

Just this word alone felt like it discredited everything that the brown haired man said earlier. The brown haired man's face turned ugly at this very moment, the kid was obviously mocking him.

”Wasting my time just because of some baseless accusations, aside from thinking some excuse there are no valid proofs shown yet some people started believing him. How embarrassing. If this is what it means to become an adult then I might as well kill myself before I turn into one.”

His words were ruthless, cold and extremely offensive. Added the fact that he said it like he was grumbling or throwing a fit makes this more of a slap towards the adults who fit his descriptions.

”You think that only you can play that game?” Raven met the brown haired man's gaze with a cold one, he then spat. ”I'll accompany you then!”

”Can't accept the fact that a kid whooped your ass? Feeling like it's an unbelievable concept so much to the point of saying that it's impossible for me to have one? Fine!” Raven raised his hand and pointed at the window of the highest room in the Astral Observatory.

”You said it's impossible right? Then care to explain how an old man like him exists?”

His words were followed with nothing but absolute silence. Even a pin dropping on the ground could be heard at this point.

The brown haired man's eyes dilated as Raven's words feel onto his ears. He could swear that he almost felt his soul leaving his body with how much he despaired.

It wasn't a foreign idea that their beloved leader was not only a benevolent man but also a fierce warrior. Legends of his youth was being retold even to this day, his escapades and how he fought valiantly in the great wilderness beyond the walls. It was said that he could fight against five fully grown beasts and remain unscathed during his prime. Now considering that age caught up with him, his prowess should've fallen into a degree but not that low for anyone to blatantly disregard it.

The brown haired man wanted to slap his face so much until he couldn't be recognized even by his own family. How was he supposed to defend his claim now?

”Don't you love getting people's attention? All eyes are on you now, so speak. Win their admiration again.”

Raven's merciless mocking reached his ears. He wanted to retort and say something back but he couldn't even think properly now so he could only send a hateful glare at Raven. Certainly, if looks could kill, then Raven would've been torn to pieces by now.

”I-” The brown haired man stuttered, ”Don't you dare refer to His Holiness like that! Y-you disrespectful spawn! ”

”B-besides! His Holiness' might was achieved through rigorous training and it was displayed when he achieved his prime! But you? You're just a child! How much training you could possibly experienced?”

The brown haired man instantly became proud of himself by managing to think of more false accusations and excuse against Raven. But when he looked at Raven's visible sneer, the pride he felt instantly vanished.

With a calm and unhurried tone, he started speaking:

”Raul Newdawn, current leader of Thorn City. Born and raised as a pastor and grew up to become an excellent one at that. He lived a very peaceful life until the day that he turned 25 and received the 'whispers of god' allowing him to go under a complete metamorphosis and devote his sole existence in serving god. It was said that he was gifted by god with a superhuman prowess, allowing him to fight multiple beasts that threatened to destroy the city on equal terms, and it is also the same reason why he was chosen as the new leader of Thorn City.”

”Have you ever heard of this story? It's a pretty common one, I've heard it multiple times already actually.”

”As for your version…”

”Achieving his strength through rigorous training? Now I haven't heard of that one yet. Care to explain in a detailed manner?” Raven crossed his arms and coldly interrogated the brown haired man.
