Chapter 2185 - 2183 Luther
Luther was a Quasi-Saint, one who infinitely approached the realm of Saints. Luther firmly believed he was on the verge of becoming a Saint. On his path to sainthood, he had reached a pinnacle and only needed the right opportunity to achieve it. Originally, when the Saint was gravely injured, all affairs in this area were entrusted to him. However, out of nowhere, a decision was made during a council meeting to transfer the severely injured Saint away and hand over this region to someone else. This turn of events completely blindsided him.
For a long time, Luther was the de facto manager of affairs. The Saint rarely involved himself in the details; everything from large-scale decisions to minor tasks was overseen by Luther. With the Saint gravely injured, Luther was confident that no one else could step in to replace him. He believed himself to be the only one capable of managing the region independently. Secretly, he felt a sense of joy, for the Saint appeared to be reaching his end. This time, the injuries were too severe, and the Saint’s downfall seemed a matter of time. To Luther, this presented a golden opportunity to ascend to sainthood—he only needed the position.
Being ordered to leave together with the Saint?
Luther’s mood couldn’t be worse. He was adamant about staying; nothing would convince him to leave.
After much persistence on Luther’s part, the council of Saints agreed to let him remain to assist a man named Peter Brown in guarding this region.
Who is Peter Brown?
Luther, a veteran Quasi-Saint for many years, knew about the strong individuals of the Human Clan at the Quasi-Saint level. He did not recognize anyone with cultivation surpassing his own among them.
But the information he learned next nearly made him vomit blood. This Peter Brown turned out to be just a Void Saint-level individual who was now ordering someone like him, someone infinitely close to sainthood.
How could I possibly take orders from that kid?
Naturally, Luther did not take the initiative to report to Peter Brown.
A few trusted subordinates remained sitting cross-legged nearby. One of them reported, "My lord, I’ve found out more about Peter Brown. This kid used to hail from the Purple River Star Region. He accidentally triggered an ancient teleportation formation which teleported him to our frontline. And somehow, though he started as just a Hundred-Star Level individual, he managed to survive every battle and grow stronger and stronger."
