Chapter 347: Chapter 218 Humbling Yourself for Another Man_2
Perhaps, there was never a chance for coexistence between them from the beginning.
That day in the interrogation room, I should have used manslaughter as an excuse to completely eliminate him.
But at that time, Xiya was still somewhat proud and disdained to become the victor in such an unbalanced power situation.
Yet it was this oversight that led to disaster.
Perhaps, it’s not too late.
Feeling the anger and shame constantly surfacing in my heart, I felt a humiliating sense that I’ve been cuckolded.
I dare not ponder what happened between Tiya and that damned guy during the days she disappeared.
Once I think deeply, I will completely fall into a downward spiral of doubt and pain.
And now, the only thing I can do is to pray that everything I do hereafter isn’t too late.
Pray… that after I kill that guy, I can still make Tiya change her mind.
“You must have been bewitched by him.” Xiya suddenly lifted his head, “But I don’t blame you.”
“And forget what I just said, about arresting Lynn Bartleion.”
“Even if the Military Department has no clues yet, I’ll pray to the Divine for a blessing, to know his exact whereabouts… My relationship with the Fertility Church is very good, the bishop has always thought highly of me, wanting me to become the Divine Chosen One of the Mother of Fertility.”
“Perhaps, this is also a good option, but before the whole matter is settled, nothing matters anymore.”
“Tiya, after saying so much, there is only one thing I want to tell you.”
“Ultimately, everything is that guy’s fault.”
“So next, I, Xiya Asolan, have only one goal.”
“I will use every means to hunt him down, apply all my life’s learning to push him into a corner, enjoy his wails and screams in desperation, until he deeply regrets being born into this world.”
“You know, whether you call it arrogance or self-righteousness, I have always been a man of my word.”
“Once I speak, I will follow through no matter what.”
In an instant, Xiya’s body moved without wind, floating in the air like a Divine being.
Accompanied by a sudden burst of door-pushing noise, Xiya, who was about to leave by flying, showed a trace of astonishment in his eyes.
He looked in disbelief at the abruptly opened door and the Elf Girl behind it with reddened eyes.
Her expression was so tense and so helpless.
As a former lover, Xiya saw for the first time Tiya revealing such a panicked and somewhat pleading look, humbled to the extreme.
Even though she should have had a closer relationship with him, she was now so cautious for another man.
Of course, that’s not the point.
Perhaps because Tiya was entirely fixated on someone else right now, she didn’t take Xiya’s feelings into account.
From his perspective, all the heartfelt words he uttered didn’t cause her to open the door.
But just a single threat against Lynn Bartleion was enough to throw Tiya into disarray, making her open the door so easily.
Only at such times can one see a person’s true thoughts.
By comparison, that guy wasn’t even present.
Realizing this, Xiya, who was floating in the air, felt like he had been struck by lightning, almost plummeting to the ground.
And Tiya, who belatedly realized what happened, turned pale.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean…”
She hadn’t thought much just now, only feeling that Lynn, already wanted throughout the city, must be in a bad situation.
If a fully-powered Xiya and the assistance of the Divine of the Fertility Church joined the hunt, it wouldn’t take a night for him to die on the streets.
After all, if you ignore the uproar he made recently, fundamentally, that guy was just a Second Rank Transcendent.
Anyone else would have fallen amidst the turmoil a long time ago.
But even so, he stood no chance against Xiya.
This thought was so strong that Tiya subconsciously overlooked how her actions might sting him, like a harsh stab to his heart.
Sure enough, he exploded instantly.
“Fine.” Xiya regained his composure and took a deep breath, his face sinking to the extreme, “You guys… very well.”
The next second, he leaped, like a meteor on the assault, stirring up a roaring gust, and vanished on the spot.
Only leaving Tiya behind, her expression stunned, silently shedding tears in the night.
Her pale delicate hand unconsciously clenched tight.
I can’t let this continue.
If it goes on … he will surely die.
I must, do something about it.
[System Alert: “Tiya Yohusti,” an S-rank plot character, has had her plot deviation increased to 57.55%.]
With the system alert sounding in his ears, Lynn opened his groggy eyes.
The plot deviation increased again?
For this unexpected windfall, Lynn was somewhat confused.
He subconsciously tried to stand up as he woke but realized he couldn’t put this intention into action.
Then, to his sudden realization, it seemed he was in the posture of a prisoner, blindfolded, hands tied behind his back, leaning against the cold corner.
He had evidently lost the ability to move freely.
Realizing this, Lynn instantly sobered up, looking solemnly around him.
During the memory lapse, it seemed he fell into the room due to the break of the Endless Silk, hitting his head on the corner of the table, which caused temporary unconsciousness.
