The system’s change only lasted for a brief moment before quickly returning to normal, just as cold as before, like a lofty god looking down upon all living beings.
The surroundings were deathly silent, without a single sound.
Ron wiped his fingers clean, his gaze falling upon the other believers.
These believers shuddered in fright, their scalps tingling.
Just now, they had watched with their own eyes as Dawn Faruk launched a sneak attack on Ron.
Not only had they not warned him, they had even hoped Ron would be killed.
If Ron had been seriously injured, they would have rushed forward without hesitation to besiege him.
And now, the moment of reckoning had arrived.
From the way Ron casually wiped his fingers after crushing Faruk’s head, it was clear that this man was definitely not benevolent.
Killing carried no psychological burden for him.
The tense torment lasted for a long time.
Finally, Ron slowly spoke: “Everyone, you wouldn’t do something like Dawn Faruk—committing insubordination and murdering your superior, right?” The believers were stunned for a moment.
One reacted the fastest and immediately spoke: “Ah, of course not!” “You are the highest officer of this branch.
All authority here should be under your control.” The other believers also reacted.
Though they didn’t know why, Ron didn’t seem to intend a large-scale purge.
This gave them hope of survival, and they hurried to echo: “You are directly appointed by headquarters as the highest officer.
Your authority cannot be shaken by anyone.” “Faruk, that despicable and shameless bastard, actually dared to sneak attack his superior for power.” One believer was filled with righteous indignation, decisively drawing a clear line from Faruk: “I cannot coexist with Faruk under the same sky.” “We wanted to stop him, but our strength was limited.
Faruk’s movement just now was too fast, there was no chance.
Fortunately, Mr.
Ron, your strength is astonishing, far beyond that fool Faruk.” “It’s only because you are kind-hearted, sir, that you gave Faruk the most merciful death.
If it were me…” Another believer looked at Faruk’s headless corpse, his eyes filled with anger, as if he had a blood feud with Faruk, wishing to cut him into a thousand pieces and grind his bones to dust.
Although Faruk had been their boss before, the boss was already dead, so stepping on him a bit shouldn’t be a problem, right?
Their previous attachment to Faruk was purely due to his strength and status, not because they had any real loyalty to him.
What mattered most now was how to gain Ron’s favor.
Ron wore a gentle smile, clapping his hands in praise: “I did not misjudge you.
You are all the most loyal servants of the God of Eternal Freedom.” As soon as these words came out, the believers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Without a doubt, the highest officer had forgiven them.
That’s right, Ron did not intend to slaughter indiscriminately.
Although according to the system mission, the more he killed, the greater the reward.
But Ron had remained calm from beginning to end.
He would not be dazzled by future rewards.
If he attacked these believers, Herman, that madman, would definitely forcibly order five hundred Dawn Knights to join the siege.
Ron then looked toward the Dawn Knights: “Everyone, what happened today was just a misunderstanding.
We have no intention of clashing with the Church of the Goddess of Dawn.
How about we end it here?
What do you think?” Herman’s face turned livid, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but before he could speak, his adjutant had already stepped forward: “Of course, honorable sir, we agree with your proposal.” Although the Church of the Goddess of Dawn had always tried to eradicate all cults, this adjutant clearly did not want to lead his subordinates to their deaths.
It would be better to leave this matter to his superiors to worry about.
After saluting Ron again, the adjutant led the Dawn Knights away.
Ron then walked toward Aurelia.
Seeing Ron approach, Aurelia was no longer as fearful as at the beginning.
Her delicate face forced a faint smile, but her beautiful eyes still held more sadness and confusion from her fiancé’s rough treatment, as well as shock at Ron’s displayed strength.
She could not resist the doubt in her heart and parted her lips: “Who exactly are you?” Ron spread his hands: “Just an ancient language scholar who was kidnapped by the Eternal Freedom Sect.” “Although it sounds like an excuse, everything that happened here was not my intention.
I was forced.
I’m sorry for the harm you suffered.” Aurelia smiled faintly and shook her head: “That’s not your fault.” Ron not being a die-hard cultist made her feel inexplicably at ease.
Pressing her lips together, Aurelia asked: “What will you do next?” Ron turned his head to glance at the believers behind him: “I will find a way to leave the Eternal Freedom Sect, though it won’t be easy.” After a brief pause, Ron lowered his voice again: “By the way, Miss Aurelia, after you return to the Church of the Goddess of Dawn, you can have a nun verify your purity.” “Trust me, as long as you are still pure, your fiancé will return to your side.” Yeah right!
A hint of cunning appeared on Ron’s face.
If he wanted to conquer Aurelia, continuing to belittle Herman at this time would be meaningless.
She was a woman deeply devoted to love.
Unless she was completely hurt, she would not turn back.
Saying too much might even arouse Aurelia’s disgust.
Since that was the case, it was better to do the opposite.
Aurelia’s eyes shrank slightly.
Her white teeth gently bit her lips.
The way she looked at Ron became somewhat complicated.
She had not expected that when her fiancé treated her roughly and the Temple Knights abandoned her, it was actually Ron, the supposed villain, who was still thinking for her, even trying to help restore her relationship with her fiancé.
A trace of emotion welled up in her heart.
Meanwhile, seeing Aurelia and Ron leaning close together and whispering, Herman burned with jealousy.
He couldn’t hear what they were saying, but their intimate posture alone irritated him.
Good.
So Aurelia, this little bitch, doesn’t even bother to hide it anymore?
Why hadn’t he noticed before that this woman was so shameless?
Being this intimate right in front of her fiancé—who knows what filthy things happen when no one is watching.
Filled with resentment, Herman limped away.
What else could he do?
He couldn’t win in a fight.
Seeing Herman leave, Aurelia took a deep breath and nodded slightly to Ron: “Thank you.
I’m leaving now.” Seeing his limping figure, Aurelia felt a bit of heartache.
Although Herman’s earlier roughness had hurt her deeply, over ten years of feelings were not something that could disappear so easily.
She activated her magic, preparing to use a healing spell.
Sensing the fluctuation of magic beside him, Herman suddenly turned his head, his twisted face like an enraged lion: “Get lost, I don’t need your fake concern.” Looking at Aurelia’s pretty face, an inexplicable disgust rose in Herman’s heart.
He raised his right hand and swung it toward her face.
Aurelia’s heart trembled, yet she ultimately did not dodge.
But before the slap could touch Aurelia’s face, his wrist was already grabbed.
It was Ron.
At this moment, Ron was like a flawless gentleman: “Mr.
Herman, hitting a woman is not a good habit.” [Ding, System Prompt: Aurelia’s favorability toward you has increased by ten.
Current favorability fifty.] Herman glanced coldly at Ron and Aurelia: “Aurelia, from today onward, the engagement between us is annulled.” Throwing down those words, he forcefully shook off Ron’s hand and left without looking back.
Aurelia’s face instantly turned pale.
Her body felt as if struck heavily.
Her legs went weak, and she almost fell.
As mentioned before, Aurelia’s nature contained a strong stubbornness.
She took relationships very seriously.
Even though Herman’s attitude had been extremely rough, she had never thought of giving up.
It was not as if Aurelia lacked suitors.
In recent years, many men more handsome, with greater backgrounds, and stronger strength than Herman had expressed affection to her, but Aurelia rejected them all, because in her heart, she had always positioned herself as Herman’s fiancée.
She had firmly guarded her chastity.
As a nun possessing beauty far exceeding her own strength, it was not easy to preserve chastity in this gradually filthy and corrupt church.
She only wanted to wait until her wedding night to give her most precious everything to her husband.
But now, the happiness she had anticipated was crushed by her fiancé’s own hands.
All her persistence lost its meaning at this moment.
Ron tried to comfort her but did not know what to say.
By chance, he saw Aurelia’s eyes—eyes as beautiful as amber—which at that moment had lost all their luster.
What remained was only dimness and emptiness.
Like a finely crafted doll.
Ron’s heart trembled.
What was going on?
He remembered that in the game, it seemed this situation only appeared when Aurelia was on the verge of despair, collapse, and her bloodline was about to awaken.
He had not violated Aurelia, so why was her bloodline awakening even earlier?
At that moment, Aurelia raised her head.
Her lifeless eyes stared at Ron.
The slightly upturned corners of her lips carried a trace of mockery, teasing, and a hint of madness.
She reached out and caressed Ron’s cheek.
Compared to others, she did not dislike this man.
“Mr.
Ron, will you take my purity?” First chapter of three thousand words delivered.
