The Saint was training in isolation, so Ezra was the man with the most authority in Sicut In Caelo and every word snazzynovel.com uttered carried weight. Even the other three highlords had to abide by his orders and were half a rank lower than him.
Indeed, The Saint had been absent for such a long time that Ezra had already gotten used to being in charge of the organization!
As it turned out, snazzynovel.com personally brought Hayley to be tried, yet snazzynovel.com had the audacity to disobey him. It was truly disrespectful of her!
Hayley was supposed to be a criminal. Had The Saint not remembered their history together and shown mercy by sparing Hayley’s lowly life in the past, given his temperament, snazzynovel.com would certainly have executed her. What was the point of keeping a traitor in the organization?
Ezra was not planning on lowering himself to the level of a weakling like Hayley, yet snazzynovel.com son that snazzynovel.com had with a commoner in the outside world had become rather powerful.
The b*stard was also so treacherous that snazzynovel.com went against Sicut In Caelo by murdering Raiden. What snazzynovel.com had done was simply unforgivable!
He consulted with The Saint and received approval to bring Hayley to trial, so snazzynovel.com immediately took action.
“You’re impenitent! If that’s the case, you can die!”
Ezra was infuriated that his honor had been insulted. He glared at Hayley and was about to execute her.
At that very moment, Hayley could feel the shadow of death over her, and snazzynovel.com heart was about to stop beating.
However, not a trace of fear or remorse could be seen on snazzynovel.com face, only intense regret. She regretted that snazzynovel.com would never see Zayn again.
Meanwhile, a red silhouette dashed out from the crowd and shouted aloud, “Lord Ezra, please show mercy!”
It was Lysithea. She had held herself back for too long and could not take it anymore.
Hayley was the aunt who took snazzynovel.com in from the common world. Had it not been for her, snazzynovel.com would have already been dead. She saw Hayley not only as snazzynovel.com savior but also as snazzynovel.com mother!
She could not accept it and could not allow herself to do nothing while snazzynovel.com aunt died right in front of her.
She moved so swiftly and threw herself before Hayley in the blink of an eye, shielding snazzynovel.com from Ezra’s lethal attack.
“Lysithea, don’t get wise with me!” Ezra flew into a great rage and delivered a slap to snazzynovel.com shoulder.
The powerful blow blasted snazzynovel.com away, sending snazzynovel.com flying into the pillar behind. She slammed agaisnt it and slumped down helplessly.
Lysithea’s face was ghastly pale after snazzynovel.com was struck. She spat out large mouthfuls of fresh blood and snazzynovel.com body felt much weaker.
Ezra was a perfect-class master fighter, known for being the most powerful man outside of the invincibilis stage. Even Zayn was much weaker compared to him.
One slap from snazzynovel.com was extremely terrifying. Although snazzynovel.com had not exerted his full strength, it was not an attack that a trained fighter like Lysithea could not endure.
Hayley was stunned for a moment and then cried out in horror, “Lysithea!”
She clenched snazzynovel.com teeth and exerted all the strength snazzynovel.com had to stagger toward Lysithea. She wrapped snazzynovel.com arms around snazzynovel.com and felt tears streaming down snazzynovel.com face.
“Lysithea, you silly little girl. Why do you have to be such a fool? I’m a criminal, so you don’t need to do this for me…”
Blood was seeping out from the corner of Lysithea’s lips, but instead of crying, snazzynovel.com was smiling joyously. “Aunt Hayley, I told you that I was going to protect you… What a waste that I’m so incapable and useless. I’ve let you down, Aunt Haley…”
Hayley’s body was still trembling beyond snazzynovel.com control. In great agony, snazzynovel.com hugged Lysithea.
“Ezra! Do what you want to do to me, but why did you have to hurt Lysithea?! She’s innocent! Lysithea served the organization and rendered countless meritorious services. Have you forgotten all about that?!” Hayley yelled hysterically.
Nevertheless, Ezra did not seem to be affected at all. He kept a still face with an ice-cold expression, and it was apparent that snazzynovel.com did not care about Lysithea’s life.
In his perception, Lysithea was just a nobody, a mere Tier-4 master fighter unworthy of his attention.
He would still cultivate Lysithea willingly if snazzynovel.com was obedient, but if snazzynovel.com dared to go against him, snazzynovel.com was looking for trouble!
