Chapter 220: A Meeting Between Paragons
"Damn it! I was forced to kneel in front of that bastard!" the sound of glass shattering echoed from one of the church rooms.
"Calm down, Evern. Do you want him to hear you?" Not far from him, two men were sitting across from each other with a table between them.
"Velmiran, do you really think I care? If he hears, let him hear. What’s he gonna do about it?" Paragon Evern said angrily, then stood and walked past them.
"So what do we do now? Are we really going to let that bastard lead the faith?"
"What else can you do? The Prophet officially chose him. Plus, because of that story the Prophet told, the people now fully accept that kid," Velmiran growled.
It wasn’t like he was happy about it — but was there really anything else they could do?
On top of that, the kid said a few words right after the Prophet left and managed to win over everyone’s hearts. It’s a known fact that most followers of the Eternal Faith have always wanted to expand their religion.
But the Prophet always stopped them from doing so. Still, the moment that kid became leader, he said they would do it — and managed to win over the crowd.
"If he had picked one of the three of us, it would’ve been fine. If he had picked no one, even better — then we could’ve decided among ourselves," Evern let out a frustrated sigh.
He had made so many plans for today. He had spent his whole life working toward this day.
And yet, some random kid who appeared out of nowhere just stole all their achievements.
