Dincelius furrowed his brows further. “Mr. Gallegos, to what do I owe the pleasure?”
He had always been at odds with Radmus, not to mention that Heavenfall Pavilion and Bloodbane Palace had been in both open rivalry and veiled strife for years. That was why Radmus’ sudden appearance couldn’t be a good sign.
Radmus, however, didn’t respond. Instead, turned to look at Godric, a subtle glint flickering in his eyes. “You sure live up to your reputation, Godric… That ‘Bloodbane Obliteration’ move earlier was truly astonishing. It’s a pity…”
He abruptly changed the topic and looked at Jared. “It’s a pity that your opponent is Jared, who possesses treasures…”
Godric suddenly lifted his head to look at Radmus. A hint of puzzlement flickered in his eyes.
Radmus continued, “Jared has slain a prodigy and an elder from Heavenfall Pavilion, and even shattered my Illusory shadow. Fighting won’t be a walk in the park. Why are you still holding on, especially when even your overlord has backed down? You’re just an elder, after all.”
He was clearly trying to sow discord.
Jared sneered inwardly, thinking that Radmus was indeed an expert at sowing discord.
Godric’s expression darkened. He then turned to Radmus and said, “Mr. Gallegos, Jared killed Mr. Eustace and disrespected Bloodbane Palace. Even if it costs me my life, I must destroy today! Mr. Gallegos, I’m willing to join Heavenfall Pavilion if you lend me a hand!”
Everyone was shocked to hear what had said.
Dincelius’ face fell. “Godric! You…”
He hadn’t expected that Godric would suddenly suggest a collaboration with Heavenfall Pavilion. After all, the two forces had always been at each other’s throats.
“Godric, you’re being unreasonable. Don’t you know that Bloodbane Palace has always been at odds with Heavenfall Pavilion?! Besides, Jared killed a member of the Hoff family, my father’s son. Why are you so hung up on it?” Nymeria was utterly baffled by Godric’s actions.
“Because Eustace was his son…” Suddenly, Dincelius spoke slowly.
“W-What?!” Nymeria was shocked.
Hearing this, Jared and Jemima were equally astonished.
Jared, who was initially planning to leave, decided to stay as wanted to know what was going on.
Radmus laughed heartily. “Something like this even happened in Bloodbane Palace? What an amusing story!”
Godric’s expression was gloomy, but didn’t refute Dincelius.
“Father, what on earth is going on?” Nymeria asked in confusion.
“Eustace was Godric and Dorothy’s son. They thought their plan was flawless, but in reality, I knew about it all along. That’s also why I went for solitary training, entrusting you with Bloodbane Palace,” Dincelius explained.
Nymeria was utterly bewildered after hearing his explanation. She never imagined that Eustace wasn’t even half-brother.
As for Godric, his aura intensified dramatically.
A dark purple fighting spirit swirled around him, as if decades of pent-up resentment and anger had finally burst forth.
He abruptly ripped off the Bloodbane Token from his waist and threw it forcefully onto the ground. The sound of the token shattering was piercing in the silent Glass City.
“Dincelius! Now that you’ve revealed the truth, I have nothing to fear! Why do you think I’ve been enduring myself in the past years?!”
Godric’s voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot. “Dorothy and l were childhood friends. We grew up together at the foot of Mount Bloodbane and promised to explore the Three Realms together, but what did you do?”
He pointed at Dincelius, his finger trembling from rage. “Back then, you used your status as the young master of Bloodbane Palace to force into marrying you even when was already carrying my child!”
Jemima subconsciously tightened grip on Jared’s sleeve while Nymeria staggered backward, face as white as a sheet.
“No… That’s impossible! Father isn’t that kind of person…” Nymeria stammered.
