“How… Is that possible?”
Alex was also astonished, he seemed hesitant and puzzled, but he still hurriedly used the Mystic Armor to protect the woman. Mica could not die for real now as this was his amulet He would never let her go, even if Donovan wanted to rescue her by catching him off guard.
However, things didn’t always go as planned…
Gabriel looked at Donovan. “Donovan, do you have a decent solution? This scoundrel went so far as to capture Mica as a hostage. Now I fear the repercussions after acting against him. It’s challenging! The Tower of the Sun God will burn him to death along with Mica.”
Donovan replied, “Master, Third Madam seems to be pregnant.”
‘Third Madam’ that he mentioned was Gabriel’s third wife.
“Uh… Yes, but why are you talking about this now?”
“Master, your daughter could be born again. It’s fine to have eight or ten of them, but once we miss the thing on this guy, we might not be able to acquire it again even if the entire Sun Shrine were to spend a millennium.”
“…”
Once Donovan said that, everyone fell silent.
Mica was perturbed because of the drastic change earlier. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck her out of the blue. She could not stop tears streaming down her face. She had invested her passionate love and her night dreams in her senior. But, to her surprise, he had said such a thing and wanted to abandon her and burn her to death just because he wanted to get the treasures on Alex.
Her world turned upside-down.
“How can this be? Senior, how can you do this to me?” Mica yelled as she could not accept it.
Donovan looked calm as he said indifferently, “Junior, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Sun Shrine. You should make a sacrifice for the rise of the Sun Shrine! This will be your glory too. In the future, I’ll build a statue of you in the Sun Shrine so that the descendants of the sect will always be grateful for your righteous deed.”
Alex was speechless after hearing it. He looked at Mica, full of sympathy.
Gabriel still refused to do so.
Donovan immediately shouted, “Gabriel Simpson, you disappoint me greatly! The Sun Shrine is in its current state all because of my merits. You’re unworthy of the sect master’s position. You actually want to push away this great opportunity. If we kill him today, the status of the Sun Shrine will be able to rise again to the next level, and all the Peak Lords’ cultivation realm might be able to transcend into Immortalization. But you’re so selfish… All the Peak Lords, heed my words. Keep burning. When we acquire his magical treasures, we’ll share them.”
The Peak Lords looked at each other in dismay.
Someone roared, “Fine, I’ll listen to Young Sect Master. From now on, Young Sect Master will be the sect master of the Sun Shrine!”
Once someone took the lead, the other Peak Lords followed suit.
Mainly, the magical treasures on Alex were too amazing. But, on the other hand, Donovan’s authority of speech in the sect had even surpassed Gabriel because Donovan was the blessed man, and the Sun Shrine was soaring because of Donovan.
“Tower of the Sun God, burn!”
