Just as Henry frowned, the rest of the people present were shocked. He had injured a bishop with one move!
Although Bishop Hebor was guarding the vast land and might be the weakest of all the bishops, he was still a bishop! How weak could he be? Even if he was weak, he was still an existence they had to look up to. But now, he was seriously injured by the candidate from the Eastern Continent! This young man was too horrible! He should be the first person among the younger generation!
Hebor turned to look at Dalton, who had lost all life, and then turned around. He was covered in blood and stared at Henry like a devil. He said in a hoarse voice, "Henry Zhang is a sinner, who is ignoring the rules. He should be punished!"
"Inner rules!" Henry laughed. "Bishop Hebor, you should know the rules. Last night, you ordered someone to kill the son of Bishop Morvyn. How can we settle this matter?"
Henry's voice was so loud that everyone could hear it clearly. When they heard the news, everyone's heart jumped. Hebor sent people to kill Flynn!
Morvyn frowned. He knew all about what happened last night, but could not do anything. The only thing he could do was to deal with Hebor in the dark. He could not bring it out in public, let alone speak it out in front of so many people. Otherwise, how could he smooth things over? Should he and Hebor fight to the death? Or should he swallow the insult and humiliation silently?
If he swallowed his anger, then Hebor would be riding on his own head at any time in the future. His dignity as a bishop would also disappear without a trace. However, if he didn't stop until one died, this matter would implicate the two bishops in a huge matter. If he were to directly kill Hebor, even if the core members interfered, they wouldn't do anything to him. If he couldn't kill Hebor, then it would be hard to explain the matter in the future.
Henry deliberately observed Morvyn's expression. There was a smile on his face. He had been doing what Morvyn wanted him to do.
Henry first deliberately humiliated Andrew, who stood on the same front as Hebor. His purpose was to stop Dalton from giving in so easily.
Then on the ring, Henry threatened all the candidates, but he was also gathering his strength to force the others to withdraw, leaving only Dalton. In the end, he gave himself some time to gather the strongest sword he could use now.
Henry didn't prepare that sword strike for Dalton. At the moment when he got on the stage, he targeted Hebor.
This sword seemed to be drawn casually by Henry. He wanted to create an illusion that he was able to compete with the bishop. The purpose of Henry's illusion was to force Morvyn to act!
The seven bishops of the Recluse Association had always looked aloof and fought separately. If Morvyn fell out with Hebor directly, the rest would only sit and watch. But if one of their bishop- level ally wanted to kill Hebor, would Morvyn really be able to sit still? Moreover, Henry had even told everyone about the attack on Flynn last night. And that attack involved Hebor.
This was also the reason why Henry wanted to kill Dalton. With Dalton's death, even if Hebor wanted to find someone to take the blame and resolve this matter, it was impossible. Now, there was no other way but to offend the enemy openly.
As a Bishop, Hebor had experienced too many things. Although he seemed to be careless, his mind was very meticulous. How could he not see Henry's intentions? He said, "Henry Zhang, don't talk nonsense. When did I send people to kill him?"
