"Let's leave first and talk later," Celeste said softly.
As she spoke, she activated her internal energy to break the metal chains. She then grabbed Lord Kenny and flew up in the air.
The executioner was furious and worried as he shouted loudly, "Stop them. Stop them now!"
All the other guards rushed forward immediately, but how would they be able to catch up to Celeste with their weak ability? In a blink of an eye, she had disappeared with Lord Kenny.
The crowd was stunned by the sight.
"Is she a goddess?”
"How lucky is Lord Kenny that a beautiful
lady came to his rescue!”
"That could be worth dying for.”
Meanwhile, Celeste brought Lord Kenny to the top of some mountain on the Royal City's north side. The rain had stopped, but the north wind was still strong.
Lord Kenny looked at Celeste and asked out of curiosity. "Who are you? Why did you save me?"
Celeste looked at Lord Kenny calmly and said, "I'm the Sect Master of Spiritual
Invisible Sect. You don't need to know my name. As for why I rescued you...”
Celeste sighed and continued while feeling conflicted, "You had spent a lot of money to hire my Spiritual Invisible Sect to kill Darryl. We did not complete the mission. As such, my sect owes you one. Now that I have rescued you, we're even."
That was the reason.
When Lord Kenny did a double take, he could not help but smile bitterly. He felt a pain in his heart. In the past, he thought of all the ways he could kill Darryl to stop his wife from looking for him.
In the end, look what happened. He and his wife were still destined to be apart.
'It was lucky that Darryl did not die, otherwise Monica would have no one to rely on in the future,’ Lord Kenny thought.
Suddenly, he had a thought.
"Sect Master, now that we’re even, can you please grant me a request?" he begged, his eyes looking desperate.
'What does Lord Kenny want?' Celeste wondered.
