Chapter 1419: The Long-Awaited Moment
As the discussion came to a close, everyone quietly dispersed, returning to their respective duties to prepare for the arduous tasks and missions that lay ahead. Even Leon had to depart immediately for Sciron, where a mountain of responsibilities awaited him after his extended absence of several weeks.
Meanwhile, within the solemn confines of the Privy Chamber, Zhao Li Xin gently held Lory’s hand. His voice calm but firm, he turned to the Archknights and requested them to remain behind.
In a calm yet resolute tone, Zhao Li Xin said, "May I ask all of you to remain for a moment? There is something important I need to share with you."
Everyone turned their eyes toward Zhao Li Xin, curiosity flickering in their gazes as they wondered what important matter he wished to share. Without a word, they quietly returned to their seats, a sense of anticipation settling over the room like a gentle fog.
"What is it?" Lory asked, her voice soft but laced with curiosity.
A faint smile curled on Zhao Li Xin’s lips as he gazed deeply into her violet eyes.
There was an emotion in his expression that was rarely shown; it was an enthusiastic mix with excitement."I’ve reached Sovereign level," he said calmly. "This is the right time... I can finally save your brother."
Lory’s lips trembled, her eyes widening with disbelief and barely contained excitement. "Re... really? You mean, right now?"
Fredhardt, Fargo, and the others stood frozen in shock, their mouths slightly agape. The silence was brief but deafening. Then, as realization set in, a wave of joy and hope rippled through them. Their eyes lit up, and their expressions brightened like a sunrise breaking through storm clouds.
Fargo stepped forward quickly, almost stumbling in his eagerness. "You can save Luc now? REALLY!"
Zhao Li Xin nodded with unwavering confidence. "Yes. At this level, I have enough power to burn the parasite within the King’s body."
