Chapter 476 Misled II (2/2)

As Rhode was pondering, the Angel turned around as though she sensed something.

”—!” In this instant, Rhode felt an unspeakable sense of disgust. He held down the hilt of his daggers by his waist using all his might and forced down the explosive murderous intent within himself. He turned around and pretended to gaze to the side. After a few moments, he calmed down gradually.

So close…

Rhode sucked in a deep breath. His murderous intent came too suddenly. She was a beautiful Angel and this was the first time he had met her. However, Rhode felt as though he had just met a foe that had killed his entire family. He had the urge to unsheath his daggers and slash her apart instantly… Where did this sense of vengeance come from?

If it weren't for Rhode's rich experience to shift his intent almost instantly, everyone in the venue would've noticed him. After all, there were six to seven figures in the Legendary Stage here. If his murderous intent erupted, perhaps those figures would've misunderstood and think that Rhode was targeting them.

Ever since Rhode came to this world, he had seen countless Angels. To be frank, this was the first time Rhode had met an Angel he hated at first sight. However, if this was the Angel's unique ability, why didn't others harbor such hate towards her too? Apart from those in the Legendary Stage, ordinary humans surely shouldn't possess such determination. Rhode scanned the guards by the side and discovered their respect and admiration towards the Angel. This should've been the most ordinary behavior.

Could it be that my aesthetic conception has changed? But it shouldn't be this extreme, right?

”… Next… Regarding Soraka Mountain seeking protection from the Country of Darkness,” the Chairman stood to his feet. ”… I, as the Chairman, veto this proposal.”

”…” Zieg gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.

I failed.

As soon as Zieg witnessed the damned old man before him, he knew that he had no chance to succeed anymore. The Chairman's decision was absolute and final, and there was no one to overthrow it… Zieg knew that there was no meaning to send out his written letter because he would soon return to the Country of Light's Parliament to report his failure.

Damn it!

Zieg lowered his head.

Why? Why did it fail?

But, at this moment, a voice sounded and hauled Zieg out of the abyssal of despair.

”Please wait, Mr. Chairman!” A parliament member stood up out of the blue. He yelled with a pale face and clenched fists. He gazed at his colleagues around him while gritting his teeth. ”We… We, parliament, think that more consideration should be given to this proposal!”

The Chairman's expression sunk slightly.

Apart from the Chairman, the others in Mithril Hall revealed various emotions. Di twitched his brows slightly and displayed a graceful smile. He changed his posture so ever gently as though he were a VIP admiring the stage show coming to the climax in the opera house.

Corina puckered her brows as her expression tensed once again. The Elf-lady gazed forward with uncertainty, at the same time, whispering to her maidservant beside her.

On the other hand, a Dwarf occupying two seats and carrying an ax shook his head from side to side while mumbling. Apart from them, the other representatives had begun to whisper in each other's ears.

After all, these representatives of various forces were dispatched in Soraka Mountain and they clearly knew of the parliament regulations. The Chairman's decision was final. However, in order to prevent monopolization of powers, the decision could only be reconsidered if all parliament members rejected the Chairman's decision.

Everyone was clear that it didn't only affect Soraka Mountain if they sought protection from the Country of Darkness. It would affect the entire continent. This was the reason why the representatives were gathered here. Although they had perceived these state of affairs to a certain extent, it was still best to hear it for themselves and view the confirmation in black and white for political matters.

The Chairman was back, but the parliament chose to betray?

”…” The Chairman disregarded the chatters as he gazed at the parliament members. He let out a long sigh and said in a deflated tone. ”Fine, we… shall re-examine.”

Rhode sensed as though the elderly man had become visibly feeble and the strength that supported him back here had seemed to vanish. Then, the Chairman lifted his head once again. ”Madam Supervisor, we hope you can participate in this deliberation.”

”No problem.” The Angel with her eyes shut stood up and nodded slightly. She, along with the parliament members, disappeared into the other end of the corridor.

Rhode finally let loose of his grip on the hilt.

His knuckles had paled.

That woman…

Rhode had never expected this feeling where he desired to kill a woman just from hearing her voice. What exactly is happening?

Also…

Rhode glanced towards the meeting hall.

What's going to happen next?
