“This Sapphire Armor was swindled from me by Colton. Is it such a surprise that I knew about it?”
The reason why Sapphire Armor could make Colton, a man in his sixties, set aside his dignity to deceive Donald, was because this third-grade treasure had a very powerful effect.
It could help the wearer withstand a fatal attack once. After the defense was over, this armor could even be sent back to the armory for repairs.
One should know that in a duel between Stella Warriors, a single lethal attack often determined the outcome. Many times, it was equivalent to gaining an extra life.
If Heimdall had not been wearing Sapphire Armor just now, his internal organs would have burst open upon Donald's kick and it wouldn't be as simple as just being injured.
Seeing Joanne leading soldiers over, Heimdall, who was slumped on the ground with fresh blood still in his mouth, glared at Donald with a resentful look in his eyes.
“Joanne, why are you still wasting words with him? Can't you see what he's done to me? I order you to shoot him immediately!”
Right now, Heimdall couldn't care less about things like dignity and self-respect.
There was only one thought in his mind, and that was he must kill Donald no matter what.
As long as Donald was killed, Heimdall would still be the number one Stella Warrior of South Chanaea Military Region.
If it had been earlier, Joanne would have undoubtedly ordered to open fire without hesitation.
But now, Joanne hesitated.
She said to Heimdall, “I'm sorry, but I don't have the authority to make this decision. I need to call the military headquarters immediately for confirmation.”
Angrily, Heimdall said, “What else do you need to confirm! Are you just going to stand there and watch him kill me?”
Joanne said to Heimdall, “We won't take offensive measures against him for now, but we won't allow him to harm you at will either. You can rest assured about that.”
No sooner had Joanne finished speaking than Donald started walking towards Heimdall.
