Chapter 362 - Closing Ceremony (3/3) (2/2)

Without Lydia, Starlight wouldn’t have existed, and neither would there be Rhode If it weren’t for Starlight, perhaps he would’ve been just a regular high-level player

While Rhode was lost in his reverie, both Marlene and Lize who stood beside hilances with each other After all, both of them were considered to be the most well-acquainted with his behavior It was a rare occurrence for him to be lost in a trance

Perhaps if it were any otherbeauty of Lydia, it wouldn’t be surprising if they fell into their fantasies

But Rhode was different They knew that he wasn’t such a person So what caused him to behave this way?

Still, they didn’t question hi Rhode back to his senses Fortunately though, as Lydia was giving her closing speech, not too many people noticed his odd behavior

“The midsummer festival is a celebration for the ht here, on this very Scared Arena, itnessed unshakable faith, unwavering deterh battle While all of you are the cornerstones of the Munn Kingdom, this time, the winners displayed phenomenal performances and stood out from theher lips into a ss and reward the winners”

President Lauren who stood beside Lydia immediately shouted

“Let us welcoles ht!”

“Ohhhhhh!”

The moment Lauren announced Rhode’s na cheers This was the Northerners’ response to the jeering Southerners froht off guard when the Southerners suddenly burst out against Rhode and his group, and they clearly weren’t pleased about it Golden City was their turf — how could the filthy Southerners act so brazen in their city?! So, now that they had the chance to retaliate, they wouldn’t spare a thought about using the top of their voices to cheer for Rhode

Naturally, the Southerners were disgusted with this act From their perspective, that bastard Rhode icked beyond redemption and yet this bunch of Northern idiots cheered for him like he was a hero

What stupidity! It’s practically insanity!

Some of them attempted to jeer, but their voices were already hoarse from before, so they were eventually drowned in the sea of cheers All they could do noas to stare helplessly as Rhode and his group approached Lydia

Rhode, Marlene, and Lize were the calmest of the bunch Rhode had a her

Marlene was the heir of the Senia Family and had already known Lydia in her early days

As for Lize? Her identity said it all While she hadn’t visited Golden City ever since then, she was still Lydia’s younger sister after all…, and which younger sister would be nervous when facing their own elder sister?

Meanwhile, the others were torn between laughter and tears Anne’s courage and audacity had reached an entirely new realether Even when faced with the Monarch of Golden City, the girl retained her carefree self and winked at Lydia as her way of greeting

Randolf, Joey, and Lapis froze in place like statues — especially Lapis as as pale as a sheet of paper They were even worried that she ht even faint If that happened, she would instantly become the talk of the century

“Mr Rhode”

A peculiar yet heartwar sensation washed over Lydia’s soul when she saw the man She clearly perceived so in front of her who lost friend However, as el sensed the sincerity and truthfulness of his gaze, which raised her doubts even further

Still, she was a Monarch of a huge country, so she had no difficulties in curbing the doubts in her heart

Then, she revealed a brilliant sroup to carry his group to victory on his first atte, even to hted…”

Her eyes widened slightly, and her lips curled even further

“On the Sacred Arena, you’ve deth Furthermore, you’ve also defeated an evil derant you a wish”

The Archangel then narrowed her green eyes with a trace of anticipation

“So then, speak What is your wish?”
