âSince you know that I am the head, you should know that this is the Iridescent Sect, and I will not let you act recklessly here.â
âDid you hear Celeste scolding me?â
âOf course, I heard her!â
âSheâs a mere Sovereign Ranker but she dares to insult a Saint like this. If word gets out, it will not only embarrass me but also embarrass all the Saints in Star Kingdom. She has ignored the fact that she canât insult a Saint. I have to maintain my dignity as a Saint, Nova, and I hope you donât stop me. I donât have to kill Celeste today, but since she cares so much about the brat behind her, I must kill him today and teach her an unforgettable lesson.â
Nek looked across the two, and his eyes landed on David, who was at the back.
He had to kill that brat today.
The more Celeste cared about David, the more Nek wanted to kill him.
David was stunned when he heard what Nek said.
âWhat the hell does this have to do with me?
âI havenât even said a word so far, but I was inexplicably injured.
âNow, I will also be killed.
âIs this the sorrow of the weak?
âIt really is a world where the strong prosper.
âThe ones with power are the ones who get the final say.
âDonât even think about it! Nek, if you want to kill David, you have to step over my dead body. I wonât let you hurt him!â Celeste shouted.
âCeleste, you are protected by your teacher so I canât kill you, but seeing that you are so worried about that kid, I feel relieved because I will kill him today, and none of you can stop me.â
âYou scoundrel!â Celeste panicked.
She knew that Nek would not dare to kill her, so that was why she dared to scold him so unscrupulously and vent her anger.
However, since Nek turned his attention to David, she knew this would go south.
She brought David from the Milky Way, and he did not have any background in Star Kingdom.
Therefore, even if Nek killed him, there would be no repercussions.
No matter how talented and strong David was, he still needed some time to grow.
He was no match for Nek the Saint, at all now.
âWhat should I do? Celeste thought nervously.
If Nek was serious, with his Saint Realm strength, it would be easy for him to kill David from under her and Novaâs protection.
âCeleste, you asked for this yourself. Itâd have been over if you apologized to me earlier. Now that things have escalated to this state, you have to bear full responsibility for this bratâs death,â Nek said with at sinister smile.
He could tell Celeste was very concerned about David.
If he killed David, Celeste was definitely going to be heavily affected.
âThis is what happens if you insult a Saint.â
That was what Nek wanted.
Celeste was fighting a fierce battle in her heart.
She had only one thought now.
David could not die.
No matter what, David could not die by Nekâs hands.
He was extremely talented and had a bright future.
Celeste clenched her fist tightly, her nails painted with red nail polish pierced into her palm.
Blood flowed from the cleft of her fist but she did not pay any attention to it.
After only two or three seconds, Celeste took a deep breath and said humbly, âOkay, Lord Simmons, I, Celeste Red, formally apologize to you now. I shouldnât have insulted you. Itâs all my fault and I deserve to die. You planting a mind seed in me was such a blessing and I shouldnât have blamed you for it. I hope you can be the bigger person and forgive me. I will never dare to do the same thing again in the future, please let us live.â
Standing behind Celeste, David was shocked when he heard what Celeste said.
Celeste, a resolute and upright woman, actually apologized to Nek that scoundrel so that David could live.
Although Celeste caused all this and it had nothing to do with him, David felt bad at this moment.
âI actually need a woman to apologize to save my life.
âNek, oh Nek!
âYouâd better kill me today.
âOtherwise, I will make you pay this back thousands of times over very soon.â
David had never wanted to kill someone so badly.
