Venus’s eyes were glistening with passion with that thought in mind and subconsciously looked at the Sky Breaking Axe next to Donoghue. She could not hide the burning desire in her heart.
The Forgotten Valley was still growing and it was in its crucial period. If she could get the Sky Breaking Axe, would that not be helpful for them? The growth of the Forgotten Valley would be much easier then.
‘F*ck!’
Donoghue was stunned upon realizing Venus’s reactions. He knew something bad was up and once the Valley Master knew he was no longer in power, she would want to snatch the Sky Breaking Axe for herself.
Donoghue bore through the pain on him with that thought in mind and bowed to Venus, “I thank the Valley Master for saving my life. If you aren’t against it, I will be willing to acknowledge the Valley Master as my master and join the Forgotten Valley.”
Donoghue seemed sincere on the surface when he said that, but his eyes were gleaming with slyness.
Donoghue was great at politics. He decided to take the lead and express his thoughts when he noticed Venus’s desires.
Donoghue would never have bowed down if it were before. However, he no longer had a choice as he was heavily injured. In addition, he was in someone else’s territory. There was no chance of him winning if he were to fight.
They would be considered on the same team as long as Venus agreed to accept him as her disciple and it would not be appropriate for her to take the Sky Breaking Axe from him then.
Uh…
Donoghue’s action caught Venus off guard. She furrowed her brows slightly before smiling ambiguously and asked, “You’re the hero of your generation and was even once the Emperor. You’re so influential that even if you have fallen for the moment, you’ll rise once more in the future. Why do you want to forgo your ego and join my Forgotten Valley?”
Venus was wise as the Valley Master and could see straight away that Donoghue was not sincere in joining them.
“Sigh!”
Donoghue sighed gently as he smiled bitterly and said, “Master, you can see for yourself. I’ve lost my throne and been heavily injured. My powers are limited even if I have plans of rising once again. It’ll be too hard to do so.
