2448 Wronged!
The Goddess of Mercy said this out of anger, and her tone was extremely overbearing.
The other members of the Freedom Federation’s royalty were very familiar with the Goddess of Mercy’s sharp glare. This was how she truly looked! It was a completely different sight from her previous timid display.
The Goddess of Mercy’s reaction caused even the Mirror God and God of Fools, who had been suspecting her, to reassess their judgment. Could it be that her non-responsiveness had really been because she recognized that the Freedom Federation was in danger and wanted to ensure that the Freedom Federation did not burn all their bridges? If that was the case, then both of them had wronged her.
The Goddess of Mercy’s current actions were fuelled by the knowledge that she had support. As such, she could act out and vent as much as she wanted.
She had not expected her actions to move the Mirror God and God of Fools’ suspicion off of her.
Since the situation had evolved to such a state, the Goddess of Mercy decided to stay here a while longer.
Given the Mirror God and God of Fools’ personalities, they would surely seek her out to speak with her.
Once they came to speak to her, all she needed to do was act as though she was angry at being wronged. This should allow her to obtain some benefits from them.
Now that the Freedom Federation had made another powerful enemy out of the marsh world, the Mirror God and God of Fools would need to rely on her strength. Thus, they would continue to tolerate her.
Besides gleaning information from them, the Goddess of Mercy also wanted to find out more about Tower Canon.
Tower Canon had been acting too mysteriously lately. All the Eight Pages were powerful elites, but they had been swapped out too often recently. It was as though there was an invisible hand controlling them.
If the Goddess of Mercy had detected that something was fishy, the Mirror God and God of Fools would definitely have sensed that something was off as well.
Given the way that the God of Fools and Mirror God’s minds worked, they would definitely be extremely bothered by this matter.
Since that was the case, she would make use of the conflict with Tower Canon to remove this pain in the God of Fools and Mirror God’s necks.
The Goddess of Mercy was not afraid of testing Tower Canon’s limits and causing them to become unwilling to continue helping the Freedom Federation. After all, once she left with the two spirit fire experts sent by the Radiance Federation, she would no longer have anything to do with the Freedom Federation.
But now that the topic had been reintroduced, Seventh Page War could not hold back her queries and took aim at Sixth Page Parting Thorn.
Seventh Page War clearly remembered how Sixth Page Parting Thorn had changed the topic. He had said, “First Page Crimson was the one who picked me. I am now officially the Sixth Page of Tower Canon. Is there a need for me to introduce myself? We will eventually get to know each other and learn how to get along after time passes. If you have any doubts about my identity, you can take your questions up with First Page Crimson!”
Sixth Page Parting Thorn had used First Page Crimson to silence the rest.
First Page Crimson had exhibited great power, and no one had more experience being targeted by him than Seventh Page War.
Nonetheless, First Page Crimson’s strength could not justify his background.
First Page Fate had been a veteran of Tower Canon and managed all of Tower Canon’s affairs. He always stepped in when conflict broke out between Seventh Page War and Second Page Revival.
The Tower Canon of that time made Seventh Page War feel like a true dictator.
Later, First Page Fate was killed by Purple Love of the Heavenly Family Cottage. First Page Crimson appeared before they had a chance to hold a meeting about this matter.
It seemed as though no one besides Second Page Revival had been previously acquainted with First Page Crimson. The circumstances were undoubtedly strange.
Tower Canon began changing from that moment on.
No one knew where First Page Crimson came from. Sixth Page Parting Thorn had managed to silence everyone because they were headed to the Freedom Federation and were focused on helping the Freedom Federation to gain more benefits.
Now that they had signed an agreement with the Freedom Federation, the matter could be reintroduced. Sixth Page Parting Thorn would not be able to put a stop to the topic even if he brought up First Page Crimson again.
“Sixth Page Parting Thorn, all of us also want to know the answer. You only have two choices now. First, tell us how First Page Crimson picked you. Or, we’ll leave you here so you can be the bait to lure First Page Crimson here, and we’ll ask him ourselves. He had not participated in the past few meetings with the Eight Pages. Despite his absence, he still managed to recruit you. This sure is interesting!”
Seventh Page War did not like ambiguity and preferred for everything to be clear.
Third Page Eternal Sin, Fourth Page Instant Extinguishment, and Eight Page Apoptosis all frowned when they heard what Seventh Page War said.
Seventh Page War had asked the question that all of them wanted to know the answer to. However, she had come on far too strongly.
