Chapter 417 - 389: Sure to Win
"Can this Light Priest you defend save as many people as this Lich?"
This question was preposterous, yet James Watson was at a loss for words. He really had grown old, his mind not as sharp as before, unable to see through even the most essential truths.
Back when he was the Supreme Decree, James Watson was firm in issuing a pardon for Amberser. The reason was simple: if a Lich had saved lives, by the rules, he should be absolved.
But after retiring, James Watson increasingly felt that Laine was on the decline, and consequently, he began to put aside the laws of Laine. With his lifelong standards gone, he naturally became confused.
Now, pointed out by his son Kaid, James Watson finally realized how serious his issues were.
Kaid Watson, looking at his father’s aged face, mustered his courage with the help of alcohol and said, "Father, you have retirement syndrome. All retired old men have it to some extent. Leaving the familiar environment, you start to not know what to do, and the mood gets worse and worse. I suggest you still think of yourself as the Supreme Decree, just on vacation..."
James Watson angrily interrupted, "What kind of nonsense is this, offices are granted by others, not for deceiving oneself, aren’t you teaching me to delude myself!"
Kaid Watson looked helpless; he knew it would be so. Since childhood, he had never adapted to such a regimented life. He had always been the child his father liked least because of his lenient nature.
"Father, assume I am wrong, but I still insist on one point: this Lich is a savior of the world, no matter how you look at it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Lord of the Dawn blessed him tomorrow. Don’t be fooled by him."
Having said the last, Kaid Watson quickly ended the communication.
