Chapter 249 - Beginning Of War (2/2)

As Mike thought about it, beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He turned to look at Timus and suddenly changed the topic. He nodded and said, “Timus, you’re right. It’s my fault.”

“What?”

Timus looked at Mike who had changed his mind and could not react at all. This sudden change in the decision was too quick!

After a moment, Timus seemed to have understood something and suddenly laughed out loud.

Mike looked at Timus and could not help but feel nervous.

Could it be that this kid had figured it out?

Could it be that he realized that he could kill me now?!

Timus could not stop laughing. These few seconds were as long as a year for Mike.

Finally, Timus stopped laughing. He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of his eyes. He patted Mike’s shoulder with his other hand and said, “I know, I finally know.

“Teacher, you didn’t dare to participate in the war because your body had become weak, right?”

Mike shuddered further with nervousness as he heard the words that left Timus’s mouth.

Sure enough, this kid was observant!

It’s over!

Mike’s face only looked a little nervous, but his heartbeat was beating rapidly now. He was terrified.

However, to his surprise, Timus had a reliable aura around him.

“Teacher, don’t worry. Before you recover your strength, I will do my best to protect you!”

After saying that, he gave a thumbs up and showed a confident smile.

Mike was slightly moved when he saw this scene. Only then did he realize that he had thought too badly of Timus.

An emotion that could only be named guilt emerged uncontrollably in Mike’s heart. He had actually thought so badly of his own disciple. It was really too inappropriate!

Pondering, he seemingly lowered his head and spoke, “Thank you, Timus.”

“What for?” Timus reached out and put his arm around Mike’s shoulder. He smiled and said, “Don’t forget, you are my teacher. I still want to learn your abilities and become the strongest human in fact!”

After Timus’ straightforward words, Mike’s mood slightly improved.

“Alright, since that’s the case, let’s hurry up and head to the City of Light.”

“Okay!!!”

“Speaking of which, I bet you thought you looked handsome just now, didn’t you?”

“Well…”

…

The City of Light.

The Royal Palace.

King Harold looked at the secret letter in his hand with a solemn expression. None of the servants and ministers around him dared to speak.

It had been a long, long time since they had seen such a grave expression on their Majesty, the King’s face.

Although no one knew what had happened, anyone could tell that something big was about to happen! Finally, King Harold put down the secret letter in his hand and slowly swept his eyes over everyone present.

“According to the news I just received, the Elven Princess Veronica is deceased…”

The King spoke with a solemn expression. When he said this, everyone had surprised expressions.

“What?”

“What happened?”

“I’ve never heard of Veronica’s illness. How did she suddenly die?”

This question went through everyone’s mind. Everyone looked at King Harold in hopes that the king would tell them the specific information.

When he faced everyone’s gazes, Halos’ fists were almost crushed.

“Veronica was assassinated! And the murderer…

“It was a human!”

At this moment, the entire palace became pin-drop silent..
