Chapter 1203: 1203
Maxim and Celty immediately stood up when Kieran walked out of the shadows .
"My lord . " They bowed .
The weak might not be humble, but the strong should be respected . They had already witnessed Kieran's powers first hand before, and each and every time after that, their expectations would be shattered beyond reason, thus Maxim and Celty had exceptional respect for Kieran .
Kieran didn't reply to them directly, instead heading towards the sofas in the tea room and sitting down firmly . He glanced over at the duo .
Sweat immediately broke out on their foreheads . Similar to their conversation just now, whether it was Maxim or Celty, both of them knew exactly what kind of person Kieran was .
Kieran had quite the tolerance when it came to his friends, but his enemies?
Merciless .
With their lives on the line, even the ever hesitant Maxim stopped having second thoughts .
He took a deep breath, regulated his thoughts and said, "Please forgive our rudeness from before . The Tale of the Virtuous King clearly mentions that under the leadership of the Virtuous King, cowards will become courageous, the bold will become heroic, and heroes will become the Holy Spirits—we are blinded by this achievement-to-come, so… Please forgive us . " Maxim then knelt down on one knee and Celty quickly followed as well .
"We really didn't mean anything else! It's just that the sudden difference produced unnecessary hatred in us . And I know this kind of hatred is ridiculous!" Celty smiled bitterly .
Kieran remained quiet as he looked at them both, bits of Devil aura slowly encaging them .
Chaotic and hot, filled with a sulphuric scent .
The sweat on their bodies evaporated in an instant, causing their bodies to shiver uncontrollably .
The shiver grew from a slight shake to a heavy falter within seconds . When both of them were on the verge of collapsing to the ground, the pressuring aura suddenly vanished .
BupBup!
Both finally fell on the carpet . They panted heavily as if they had survived a drowning .
Kieran turned away his fierce gaze . The two of them had temporarily passed his test .
Neither of them showed any malicious intent under the Devil aura despite being on the brink of collapsing .
Of course, it was just a temporary result .
Kieran knew how complicated the human heart was .
As for the Tale of the Virtuous King that they mentioned?
Kieran had experienced prophecies and legends multiple times now, so he basically looked at them as groundless stories . They were nothing but vague statements put together in a mechanical order .
Further, anyone could fit the criteria of a prophecy or legend under given circumstances .
Of course, if there were someone arranging things from behind the scenes… everything would come together flawlessly .
Unconsciously, Kieran thought of Nikorei, the God of Earth .
Once he thought about the old lady's bad taste, he couldn't help but frown .
The old lady wasn't as mature as she looked and it had nothing to do with her excellent gifts, just the flaws in her personality .
In the next moment, the door of the tea room was pushed open .
Mary and Perry Kaner came in .
Mary went ahead and sat on the sofa beside Kieran while Perry Kaner habitually entered the shadowy spot on his other side .
"Perry Kaner?!"
Maxim and Celty, who had stood up from the carpet, were astounded when they saw the Viper Sect leader enter the room . Both of them stared at her with a less than friendly gaze .
Likewise, Perry Kaner returned them with one of her own hostile gazes .
The Viper and Raven weren't natural-born arch-nemesis but what happened later caused too much conflict and collision between the two sects .
Each time they collided, death would follow, and those deaths were hard to forget, drawing long grudges .
