The night had gotten late, yet the Holy City was still bustling with people, discussing about the selection excitedly. The night before, everyone discussed who they thought would win. This time, most of the discussions were focused on Flynn.
As the only son of the European Bishop Morvyn, Flynn had always attracted a lot of attention.
Back when Flynn had been trapped in purgatory, the story of Morvyn leading dozens of masters to his rescue had already spread far and wide.
In the eyes of most, Flynn was a good-for-nothing who only created trouble for his father. He was also very soft and weak. However, Flynn's performance today was a total eye-opener forthem.
In a night market outside the Holy City, Flynn followed beside Henry and said, "Brother, it's not safe out here today. My father specifically warned me to stay indoors."
Henry rolled his eyes and said, "That's exactly what we want, what's the point of coming out if it were safe?"
"Brother, I don't understand." Flynn was confused.
Henry patted Flynn on the shoulder and said, "You know alot about the culture of Yan Xia, but do you understand the saying 'cutting up tangled threads with the swift cut of a knife'?"
Flynn thought for a moment and said, "To get all the troublesome people tangled up then kill them all in one shot?"
"Well... I guess you can also put it that way." Henry sighed and said, "Come on, let's take a few more rounds at the ghost market."
Henry led Flynn all the way to the ghost market. This time, the two of them were not the same as they had been the day before. Instead, like Tucker back then, they held and looked at various items for the fun of it, not buying anything. It annoyed many, and they were very quickly recognised.
"Isn't that Robbin?"
"He's so arrogant!"
"How can he not be? He was placed first in two rounds of the selection. If all goes smoothly, Europe will still be under the watch of Bishop Morvyn!"
"You're not wrong about that, but I think he depended entirely on luck, plus his individual strength is still so weak. What has he got to be arrogant about?"
"Isn't the fact that he's the successor of the European Bishop enough? He is arrogant indeed, but do you dare to do anything about it?"
"Just wait and see. We may not dare to do anything, but there's someone who would dare to do it. I really don't understand, with that level of power he possesses, he still dares to come out here instead of hiding away indoors at such a critical time. Come outside is easy, but it might not be that easy to go back in!"
"Shh! Are you tired of living? Keep your voice down. What does this matter have to do with us? Let's go, let's go."
Discussion after discussion arose one after another. Henry and Flynn acted as if they had not heard anything and continued to stroll around with swagger.
Andrew appeared from the front of the ghost market and headed straight at Henry.
"Looks like you're in a good mood today, Henry." Andrew walked up to Henry and said, "What you pulled off back there was pretty good."
"Heh heh, you flatter me, Lord Garfield" Henry replied with a smile.
