Chapter 166 Peace of Mind (2/2)

The girl clenched her hand and her body was trembling, but her eyes were firm. Looking at her expression, Rhode frowned. He wanted to say something but still gave up and shook his head in the end.

”The reason you raised me is just because…”

”That's right, it's only because of Master's order.”

The elder coldly stopped her words.

”If it's not because of Master, do you think I would still raise you by my side? Hmph, the blood in your veins has been cursed; you were never destined to have a bright future. Obediently accept Master's calling is what you were supposed to do. Now is also the same; don't forget about the things that you hated! You are the child of death. You definitely cannot give others a bright future! Because there's only despair and suffering in your whole life! You…”

”Enough!”

Hearing until here, Shauna stopped the elder's cursing. She looked towards the elder in despise and took out her sword. ”Master, we don't have to keep hearing this evil demon follower's nonsense. Let's just kill him here!”

Hearing Shauna complain, Rhode nodded his head. ”Since you have answered my questions, then I'll stop here… Next…”

Saying until here, Rhode looked at Celia.

”Celia, I'll leave this to you. You should know how we usually take care of evil demon followers.”

”Of course, Master.”

Hearing Rhode's words, the angel walked toward the elder and lifted her sword up high and spread her wings. Soon, a gentle ray fell from the sky, and followed by the tip of her sword, it fell toward the elder.

”Wait, you cannot do this!!” Aware of what Celia was trying to do, the elder face turned gloomy. He tried his best to struggle while looking at Rhode.

”We agreed; you can't take back your words!”

”Really surprised me.”

Facing the elder's anger and criticism, Rhode only shrugged his shoulder expressionlessly.

”I don't remember agreeing to anything. I only told you not to forget that I have my own way of handling you, but I never said what kind of way. You have misunderstood me; please don't create anymore trouble.”

”You, you…”

The elder hadn't finished his words because at this moment, Nepheran Tentacle blocked his mouth under Rhode's order. The elder could only issue a ”uuu” sound. and it wasn't clear what that meant. At this moment, Celia began to chant. A clear, beautiful melody echoed in the night sky. At the moment the light fell from the sky, the melody was also getting clearer and wrapped the elder in it.

Rhode enjoyed this view. After that, he heard a small sound beside him.

”No matter what, thank you… for raising me.”

Rhode looked down and saw Christie's clear eyes. Her eyes were moist, and there was a trace of complex emotion in it.

He said nothing and extended his hand to pat her head. Christie also followed his gesture and fell into his embrace. She turned around and buried her head inside Rhode's body because she didn't want to see this scene anymore.

The melody was getting clearer, the light also brighter. In that moment, everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes, everything was already empty.
