"Why don't you respond, young man? Don't you want to join our holy land?
Alas! All right. It doesn't matter if you say no. I should have thought of that coming. I can understand your decision, and I will not force you to join the sect." The old man sighed with a little disappointment.
Because Austin did not reply to him, he thought that Austin might not be willing to join his holy land. He became a little disappointed and frustrated, though he knew Austin had every reason to do so.
Austin hoped the old man would understand his dilemma. It was common sense that nobody would like to join a holy land which had been wiped out over a thousand years ago.
Austin saw the disappointment very evident on the face of the old man.
Before giving away his final decision, he decided to give it a second thought and started considering his options.
'Obviously, the three holy lands will not allow me to join them anyway.
Even the other supreme sects in the East Mainland may not accept me. After all, I was in trouble with the Vasteras Holy Land just now. No one will dare to go against them.'
Furthermore, Austin thought about Steward Gren who claimed that Austin was arrogant and disrespectful. He even stated that Austin had offended the superior though it was not the truth.
Austin knew that under such a situation, the other supreme sects in the East Mainland would definitely not accept him. He had no hopes from them.
In simple words, it was clear to Austin that he would never be able to join the three holy lands or other supreme sects in the East Mainland.
'Damn it! Just accept it! Join the Flame Holy Land! It cannot be worse than this. This old man is strong enough to save Caroline and me. He can take us away from here to avoid the bullying of the Vasteras Holy Land people. I have to accept his invitation.
Only in this way, I can manage the current crisis and save myself, ' Austin thought.
After weighing all his options, Austin made his decision. He finally decided to accept the old man's invitation to join the Flame Holy Land.
Otherwise, there was no way the old man would protect him from the attacks of Steward Gren and Howard who would not let him go easily.
"Sir, I am willing to join the Flame Holy Land to become a disciple! It's indeed a great pleasure for me," Austin said.
Having made up his mind, Austin accepted the offer of the old man without any more hesitation.
"Really? Are you sure?" the old man couldn't believe what he had heard and asked again.
His heart was filled with joy.
"Yes, I'm pretty sure Sir. I really want to join the Flame Holy Land,"
