450 Apparently, He Thinks He's Not Dying Fast Enough

Garen was trembling with rage. What nonsense was this old man spouting?

Claiming their grudge was irreconcilable?

He hadn't done anything!

It wasn't him who broke Emeric's arm. Yet, Emeric was publicly slandering him, accusing him of having an illicit affair with William...

What kind of affair could there be between two men?

This bastard was utterly spouting nonsense!

Garen felt his temper, which was usually under control, nearing its breaking point. Ultimately, he couldn't restrain himself and thrust his sword towards Emeric.

His Excalibur was broken, and the weapon in his hand now was a wooden sword. But even a wooden sword in his hands was something Emeric couldn't block.

To the onlookers, it seemed as if Garen hadn't moved, just a blur flashed by. In reality, Garen's sword was already at Emeric's throat.

Hiss—

Was this the power of a legendary warrior?

For Zoey, Emeric represented an overwhelming force, but wasn't Garen similarly an overpowering presence for Emeric?

Among the Quasi-Deity level Soulmancers, Garen was a top-tier warrior.

What significance did Emeric hold in his presence?

With a wooden sword, he could slay him a thousand times over!

Emeric, fully aware of the vast gap in their strengths, gave up resisting and sneered, "What's the matter? Are you so enraged that you want to silence me by killing? Now that your shameful affairs with William are known to the world, even if you kill me, can you slaughter the entire Soulmancer realm?"

Emeric burst into what seemed like a mad, derisive laughter.

This statement left all the surrounding students dumbfounded, and their gazes towards William and Garen shifted.

Evelyn's expression became even more complex.

William likes men?

Garen, trembling with rage, knew that killing Emeric would be no difficult task for him. But what about this rumor?

If he killed Emeric now, wouldn't it be seen as silencing a witness?

While Garen hesitated, a cold glint flashed in William's eyes.

Turned to ash!

Rumors?

Did William care about such things?

"What are you doing?" Garen was bewildered by Elliot's actions, feeling as if he was being portrayed as a bully, intent on killing to cover up a crime.

Although Elliot could be considered a prodigy, Garen hadn't thought that deeply about it.

A prodigy?

Wasn't everyone a genius in their youth?

He hadn't thought about Elliot as complexly as Elliot imagined.

Just then, a rainbow light flashed across the sky, and Astraeus and Ares flew in, hovering above. Upon seeing William standing below, they quickly descended to the ground.

"Pantheon Guild's Elder guild leader, and Ares, what brings you here?" Garen sheathed his wooden sword and looked at Astraeus and Ares.

Seeing Ares and Astraeus, Elliot also excitedly exclaimed, "Mr. Ares, do you remember me? I'm Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild! When you were little, I even held you... No!"

Terrified, Elliot became incoherent mid-sentence, slapped himself, and then said to Ares, "When I was little, you held me, do you remember?"

Ares glanced at him and just nodded slightly, his attention already on William.

Meanwhile, Astraeus, hearing this, stared intently at Elliot and asked again, "You are Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild?"

Overjoyed, Elliot responded, "Elder guild leader, I am indeed Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild."

He had just heard Garen addressing Astraeus as "Elder guild leader."

In the Pantheon Guild, besides Astraeus, known as the strongest in the world, who else would Garen address as "Elder guild leader"?

After a moment of contemplation, Astraeus said, "I was just looking for you! Come with me!"

Wasn't one of the people William asked him to kill Elliot from Echoes of Eternity Guild?

Committing murder in front of so many people would not be good for the Pantheon Guild's reputation, so it was better to take him away first, dispose of him somewhere discreet, and then bury him on the spot.

"Respected old president, please stand up for our Echoes of Eternity Guild!" Elliot thought Astraeus saw potential in him and wanted to take him as a disciple. With the world's strongest person as his protector, what would he have to fear from Garen?

Garen? A legendary warrior, right?

Let's see how you die!

Frowning, Astraeus asked, "what?"

Wiping his forehead, Elliot glanced at Garen, then pointed at William and said, "Garen and that William have an unusually close relationship, even beyond the scope of ordinary friendship. When our guild's vice president, Emeric, revealed this, Garen killed him in a fit of anger to silence him. You must seek justice for us!"

Astraeus followed Elliot's pointing finger, looking over, and fell silent.

Does this young man think he's not dying fast enough?

An unusually close relationship, beyond ordinary friendship? And you dare to slander William with such words?

Apparently, He Thinks He's Not Dying Fast Enough!
