Chapter 637: Chapter 264: How Could There Be a Scene of Carnage? It Doesn’t Exist_3

"There’s no betrayal that can’t be explained!"

Back then at the Moonlight Church, she was caught by her foster mother and a Legendary Mage from the Magic Department, her life hanging by a thread, barely escaping death. It was Wayne who pulled her back from the brink of the cliff, facing the Legendary Mage in a death battle to save her.

After that, Chris succumbed and became addicted to his sweet nothings, unable to extricate herself.

Veronica, upon hearing about Chris’s near-death experience, was somewhat worried but then said in a piqued tone, "But Wayne is the heir to the Lando Family, and you should know my relationship with him. Just because I haven’t acknowledged it doesn’t mean I haven’t accepted it."

"I thought you were his sister, after all, Mister Lando and Wayne look so alike, everyone says so."

Chris also felt wronged and said, "On Wayne’s birthday, I even asked you, and you said he was your brother."

Veronica was stumped, "That was said in a fit of anger, Mother and Mister Lando were too kind to him, ignoring my feelings, and I was upset when I said that."

"You said it anyway."

"..."

"Veronica, I’ve only recently found out you were adopted, I was worried you would be upset, and I hesitated to ask for clarification."

"Ah, that was also said in a fit of anger, I’m not adopted, Wayne is."

"Impossible."

"..."x2

Veronica’s eyes went dark as she tried to prove her blood relation to Hefei and Austin, claiming they had worked together to conceive her.

Chris didn’t believe it, insisting that it was Hefei and Austin who had conceived Wayne, and that he was the real child.

Wayne, with his gift for gab, still couldn’t correct Chris’s belief, and Veronica was even less convincing. Seeing that she couldn’t clarify things, she helplessly said, "Fine, I indeed was adopted, and precisely because of that, Wayne and I are not siblings. That’s no excuse for you to be taking my things!"

"Is there a possibility that you two stole something from me?" Velie interjected.

Ignoring her, Veronica and Chris disagreed on who came first and inadvertently overlooked the golden retriever, letting her say whatever she wanted without responding.

"Damn it, I finally understand. It was all that bastard’s fault! He deliberately deceived you, letting you drop your guard before pursuing you!" Veronica lay on the soft bed, her eyes blazing with rage, convinced that her senior sister, being so wonderful, would never intentionally steal her things. It was the societal scum that had deceived her.

"Uh, he said, explained many times, and kept insisting you weren’t siblings, it was me who didn’t believe it," Chris said with embarrassment.

Having said it was one thing; she didn’t want to shift the blame.

"He also mentioned something about him and you, senior sister..."

Veronica froze upon hearing this. Possibly, maybe, that societal trash had confessed to two-timing, claiming to be in a relationship with her senior sister, planning to return to Lundan to get married after the selection of the Holy Maiden ended. She staunchly disbelieved it, accusing him of spreading rumors.

So it was true!x2

Veronica instinctively looked up, the two women eyeing each other. From the way they spoke, the scumbag had confessed everything, and it was they who refused to believe it.

"No, Wayne merely exploited an intelligence gap, using your trust in each other, and your inner desire to escape reality, convincing you of a false reality," Velie said slowly.

"He mixed lies with truth, so even if it was exposed, you were in the wrong for not heeding his warnings..."

"And his only mistake was not having the heart to reject your love, wanting you both to be happy, that’s all."

"In plain terms, you two were played by him, and combined you didn’t stand a chance against him!"

Velie earnestly advised her good sisters that it wasn’t too late to back out and let go, Wayne was too rotten and not worth their lifelong commitment.

Chris hung her head in silence, Velie’s words making sense, and Veronica quickly considered backing out.

Veronica didn’t speak either, Velie was right, but the family needed an heir, and it would be tough to find another societal trash as lowly as this one.

"Would you talk?"

"What’s there to say, we’re leaving, and then you show up, right?"

Veronica was filled with discontent, seeing Velie enjoying the spectacle with glee and feigning concern, and directed her resentment at her.

Poor Veronica was at Monica’s mercy, and knowing resistance would only excite her more, she soon gave in and pleaded for mercy.

It was no use, she still got hit.

On the sofa, Veronica sniffled, pleading to be let go as Monica straddled her and rubbed her face, while Chris tilted her head, watching the two of them frolic.

It seemed no different than before, but...

Damn! x3

...

"Achoo!"

In the study, Wayne had just sat down when he sneezed three times in a row, rubbing his nose and thinking it strange.

Austin played with an ancient silver coin and sneered, "What, another girl thinking about you?"

"Monica!"

"..."

Austin’s face darkened, and he fell silent. He brought this embarrassment upon himself, and he would not make the same mistake again.

Seizing the opportunity, Wayne harped on relentlessly, counting on his fingers, "They say first you think, then you curse, then you nag. If it’s not Monica nagging about me, then three girls are thinking about me at the same time, and Monica is definitely one of them..."

Yada yada!

Bla bla bla!

Wayne relentlessly mocked, delivering a long monologue, and noticing Austin closing his eyes to meditate, he felt bored. Before closing his mouth, he delivered a final jab, "And I still have your written promise, so if other girls think of me, I can shift the blame to you. It’s you, Austin, you heartless father whose eyes see nothing but family interest, commanding me as head of the family to pursue other girls."

As if there could be such a dramatic showdown, impossible!

Megan: (눈_눈)

I thought Hefei had poor taste, being a king and all, but I didn’t expect that with each generation comes a stronger one, Monica truly is the king of kings crowned with the crown.

After finishing his monologue, Wayne got to the main topic, discussing how the Sun Knight encountered a crisis on the Icebound Continent and needed to recover the powers he once lost.

"I’ve been unable to transform into the Naturalist Knight lately, which indicates that Mula is also in crisis on the Icebound Continent. By the same token, the situation of the Moonlight Knight is similar. It’s tough for three God-chosen Knights to straighten things out together..."

Wayne analyzed for a while and asked, "What about you? Dark Knight, has the Dark Goddess’s envoy conveyed a divine decree to you?"

Austin shook his head. Ever since he had received Death’s ancient silver coin, he had severed contact with the Dark Goddess. The black cat Monica, suspected to be a goddess’s envoy, had never spoken a word, and he received no divine decrees.

"Last time I analyzed that the Life Alliance was once comprised of five faiths. Although the Dark and Death Goddesses have withdrawn their shares, the connection still exists. Now it seems, I was overthinking."

Wayne shrugged his shoulders, curiously asking, "The situation on the Icebound Continent is tricky. The three God-chosen Knights might not hold out. Do you plan to go and join the excitement?"

Austin shook his head in refusal. As a Dark Knight with limited power, he could not contend with the three long-established knights, and facing such a mismatch in power, heading to the Icebound Continent would be a death sentence for him.

But Austin allowed Wayne to go and help, to pull together the power of the Sun Knight, to avoid any trouble actually breaking out on the Icebound Continent.

After all, the three God-chosen Knights were guarding not just the seals, but also the order of the God-chosen Continent. Stable order is more important than anything.

Wayne nodded his head. After Austin’s explanation, this journey took on an even greater significance, and the red scarf on his chest seemed to become brighter.

"You’d better not die out there..."

Austin glanced at Wayne. Although he’d had enough, Megan was right. Not just Hefei and Veronica had made a choice; he had chosen Wayne, too.

Even an ill-fitting piece of clothing becomes comfortable after a while. To change for another, one not only has to readjust but also can’t help comparing them.

Austin had reason to suspect, whether it be him, Hefei, or Veronica, none could pick out a better piece of clothing.

"Then it’s settled. I’m in a rush. I’ll go and speak with Monica first, then head home to pack."

Wayne left the study, rubbing his hands eagerly as he headed straight for the young miss’s villa.
