Chapter 2259
As he stood before the coffin, the Divine Holy Emperor conducted himself respectfully.
After he bowed, he came closer to the coffin and pushed open the coffin lid.
Quintina stood up abruptly and shouted, “What’re you doing? My father is already dead! What are you trying to do to him?!”
The Divine Holy Emperor turned to Quintina and apologized, “Sorry for my indescretion. I simply could not bring myself to believe it. The Ancient Clan’s leader is the strongest person in the Ancient Realm. I found it hard to believe he died so easily, so I wanted to confirm it with my own eyes.
After speaking, he turned to the person lying in the coffin.
Farley’s face was ashen and had no trace of color. There were no signs of life in his corpse-like body.
After sensing no energy from Farley, the Divine Holy Emperor sighed in relief. He turned to the Gideons gathered in the main hall and apologized again. “I’m sorry for my disrespectful behavior.”
The Divine Holy Emperor slid the lid back on the coffin.
Thoryn stepped forward and said, “We understand. Please go back and rest for the time being. We’ll hold a memorial service when other close friends of our family arrive.”
The Divine Holy Emperor departed immediately. He turned around and left with Harold.
Since it was the Gideons’ family matters, Yoan did not linger around for long either. He left with James back to their momentary courtyard lodgings.
Inside the yard, Yoan sighed. “It’s a pity that generation’s strongest man died so miserably.
James said, “Perhaps it’s fate. No one can escape the machinations of fate after all.”
He promised Farley not to tell anyone, so he also kept their agreement a secret from Yoan.
Yoan said, “Since things have turned out this way, we have no choice but to wait for the Gideons to finish dealing with Farley’s funeral.”
James nodded. “Mhm.”
The two continued to stay within the Ancient Clan’s territory.
Meanwhile, the passing of the Ancient Clan’s leader was announced to the world.
The news spread quickly throughout the Ancient Realm. Soon, many prominent figures of the Ancient Realm showed up one after another.
Even Welkin Academy’s headmaster personally showed up to attend Farley’s memorial service.
