Chapter 1328 Act of kindness

Chapter 1328 Act of kindness　　'Then the participant from the lower province will be eliminated in case there was no exchange of moves between them.'

The old minister spoke in a calm voice as though it was common to eliminate the participant from the lower province.

'What?'

'How can there be such a rule?'

'That rule is absurd.'

'They are basically making him a murderer.'

'Anyway, who is going to bet with me? I say that Ajax will kill Prince Dennis for sure.'

'I am also sure that Ajax will kill him.'

Initially, the onlookers were surprised with the old minister's words; however, soon they started guessing and betting whether Ajax would kill Prince Dennis or not.

Everyone was sure that Ajax would definitely kill Prince Dennis because the rewards of the fourth round would be great and it would be very hard to resist the temptation.

"Old minister, what are you saying? My son is unconscious and it is obvious that he has lost the fight."

Even though King Thomas was angry regarding his son's defeat in the hands of a level 2 elite general realm cultivator, he didn't want his only son to die here.

So, he was serious when he said those words to the old minister who became full in charge of the Flderton kingdom after King Louie's spirit consciousness was destroyed and his son, Prince Diego died in the hands of Princess Daphne.

So, basically, the kingdom fell into his hands.

"King Thomas, I know that rule seems absurd but this rule was followed from ancient times. So, I can't let your son out of the secret realm unless he forfeits the match."

Even though the old minister was shivering deep inside his heart when he heard King Thomas' words, he looked at the black-robed old man and replied in a calm tone.

Since he was following the rules of the contest that were coming from ancient times, the old minister was confident that the 'Protector of the skies' would protect him in case King Thomas plans to attack him.

"King Thomas, I will ask you one question. Please give an honest answer."

When King Thomas was about to turn crazy and attack the old minister, the guardian of the Purple stone world spoke all of a sudden, making the old minister of the Flerton kingdom heave a sigh of relief.

"Guardian, please make an exception and let my son come out of the secret realm."

King Thomas looked at the black-robed old man as he continued, "I will answer anything."

King Thomas, just wanted to save his son's life at any cost and for that, he didn't mind answering any question.

Moreover, the guardians have the power to make exceptions in the contest. So, he fell to his knees as he begged the guardian.

"As I said, just answer my question honestly and I will bring your son out of the secret realm."

The old man nodded his head.

"Please ask, guardian."

King Thomas saw hope for his son as he hurriedly nodded his head.

"If, by chance, Ajax was in the place of your son, will you oppose this so-called absurd rule?"

Looking at the flying mirror, the old man asked King Thomas in a calm and composed manner.

"I..I would have still called it an absurd rule. Just remove that rule, guardian."

King Thomas frowned for a moment when he heard the question; however, he swiftly answered while trying to put an honest look on his face.

"Really?"

The black-robed old man's voice contained a hint of mockery as he looked at the three protectors and others before asking, "So, how many of you think that this is the honest answer of King Thomas?"

'...'

No one replied as they looked at each other for a moment before shaking his head.

It was obvious that no one believed that King Thomas was such a kind person that would oppose the rule if it was not his son.

"Sigh…if you gave an honest answer, I would have brought your son by making an exception regarding the contest rules. Your son is dying because of you."

The black-robed man sounded a little serious, making everyone keep quiet, including King Thomas, who seemed to lose all colour on his face and his eyes looked lifeless.

"However, if your son's opponent is kind enough, he might live."

Of course, King Thomas didn't believe that was going to happen but still looked at the flying mirror.

.....

In the secret realm,

"I can't kill such a pitiful person though."

As for Ajax, he didn't have any thoughts of killing Prince Dennis who was currently unconscious; instead, he felt pity.

Even though he has such a powerful cultivator's law, it was not in his control and triggered on its own, making Ajax shake his head.

"I give up"

After looking at Prince Dennis for a moment, Ajax used his escape space ring to come out of the secret realm.

'What?'

'Why did he forfeit now?'

'I think he got scared because of the revenge from King Thomas.'

'Are you sure? As long as he reaches the fifth round, he will be protected by the guardians of the world.'

'Yes. So, there is no need to worry about revenge as King Thomas can't do anything against him.'

'Looks like something is wrong with that kid's head.'

'Sigh…what a pity.'

All the onlookers were shocked and shook their heads when they saw Ajax appear in the middle of the colosseum.

"What? Why? How?"

King Thomas could not believe his eyes as he looked at Ajax who was standing in the center of the colosseum.

'Swoosh'

In the next second, King Thomas came to his senses as he rushed towards Ajax.

"Th…thank you for sparing my son's life."

Standing in front of Ajax, King Thomas deeply bowed to Ajax as he thanked Ajax from the bottom of his heart.

"Huh? Your son?"

Ajax raised his brows for a moment before saying, "It's nothing but I hope you help your son get that cultivator's law under control."

As soon as he finished his words Ajax didn't bother to stay in the colosseum as he walked towards the place where Darbaudr and others were sitting.

Since he got eliminated from the contest, Ajax decided to sit with others while waiting for the demon invasion to start.

"What?"

King Thomas was shocked when he heard Ajax's reply and wondered, 'Why is he not asking anything in return for the rewards?'

Until now, King Thomas never saw someone who helped him without expecting anything in return. So, he was surprised by Ajax.

"Young man, please wait."

Nevertheless, King Thomas didn't want Ajax to lose the rewards from the contest just because of his son. So, he stopped Ajax and asked, "Why do you give up your rewards just like that?"

He was confused and curious as he wanted to know why he didn't kill his son when it was completely legal.

"This world needs someone like your son to protect in the future. So, it is better for him to live rather than die here."

Ajax stopped in his tracks as he replied without turning back.

"But, the current state your son is in, where he can't even control his cultivator's law, he will become the disaster of the world. So, you better train him properly."

As soon as he finished his words, Ajax left the colosseum and sat with others.

Even though Ajax didn't like Prince Dennis, he felt Prince Dennis will become a good follower for him once he learns how to control his cultivator's law.

Moreover, once Prince Dennis becomes more powerful in the future, only Ajax could control him because his cultivator's law 'Fire devour' is the bane of Prince Dennis' cultivator's law 'Fire burst'.

'Let's see whether he will change after today or will he still remain as the arrogant young master.'

Actually, Ajax just wanted to send Prince Dennis in the 'Second chance' system feature to change Prince Dennis into a completely new person who would be loyal to him.

However, because of so many powerful cultivators watching him right now and he wanted to see Prince Dennis change by the act of 'Sparing his life'.

"..."

King Thomas felt something he didn't feel for a long time in his heart as he hurriedly turned towards the black-robed old man.

"Sir Guardian, can you please eliminate my son and let that young man enter in my son's place?"

There was no hesitation when King Thomas said those words to the old man as he continued, "Earlier, I felt it was not wise to be kind; however, now, I learned that becausse of that kindness my son is alive. So, I am repaying the young man's kindness to the best of my ability."

'What the…'

'Is he really King Thomans?'

The powerful cultivators who were sitting on the huge stage, who knew about King Thomas, were shocked to hear such words coming from King Thomas.

Nevertheless, he didn't say anything out loud and waited for the guardian's reply.
