Chapter 1149: Hermit
In the dical room of the Cape family, a man stood in front of the bed. His palm emitted a faint glow as he pressed it above the wound on Buzz’s abdon.
Buzz’s wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Not only was it a physical wound, but even the wound on the Guardian armor rapidly healed. Soon, the wound completely vanished.
“Your Excellency, I’m incompetent. I’m sorry to trouble you to personally treat .” Buzz stood up and bowed.
The man retracted his palm and said indifferently, “It’s not your fault. Ming Xiu’s sword art has indeed reached an extrely high level. Among Mythical creatures, there aren’t many who can withstand a single strike from him. This matter ends here. What happens in the future has nothing to do with you or the Cape family. Just do your job well.”
“Your Excellency... Are you going to do it yourself?” Buzz’s body trembled as he hurriedly asked.
He knew very well how terrifying this person was. Among the four heads of the League of Guardians, although Hermit’s reputation wasn’t as great as Cave Era and Blood Shaman, anyone who knew him knew that this person might be even more terrifying than the forr two.
“Just do your job well,” Hermit said.
“Yes, Your Excellency.” Buzz hurriedly bowed his head in agreent.
After speaking to Hermit, he happened to et Beryl, who had co to visit him. Beryl gave Hermit a curious glance when Buzz hurriedly pulled her aside and introduced her to him. “Your Excellency, this is my niece, Beryl.”
Hermit nodded slightly and left the hospital without looking at Beryl.
“Uncle Buzz, who is that person? You appear to be afraid of him?” Beryl asked curiously.
“Child, don’t ask. Why are you here?” Buzz hurriedly stopped before looking in the direction Hermit had left. He heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that Hermit was gone.
“Uncle Buzz, you are really heartless. I ca to see you out of kindness, but you are giving such an attitude,” Beryl said angrily.
“Alright, I surrender. I’m fine. I won’t die. Don’t worry,” Buzz said dotingly.
“That Ming Xiu is really detestable. To think that I used to worship him so much. He actually wanted to kill you. Thankfully, you’re fine,” Beryl said.
Buzz shook his head and said, “He didn’t try to kill with that strike. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be my abdon that was injured.”
“I see. In that case, he’s not too bad.” Beryl looked in the direction where Hermit had left. Seeing that there was no one there, she whispered, “Uncle Buzz, is that person from the League of Guardians? Seeing how afraid you are of him, he must be a high-ranking mber of the League of Guardians, right?”
“I told you not to ask. In the future, you can’t ntion anything about the League of Guardians. Got it?” Buzz repeatedly exhorted Beryl.
Although Beryl agreed, she had sothing on her mind.
After leaving the hospital, Beryl found an excuse to return to school and ran straight for the lounge where Zhou Wen and company were.
The seated Zhou Wen and Tsukuyomi were chatting in the lounge while Ming Xiu stood there motionless for quite so ti.
Due to Tsukuyomi’s words, Ming Xiu seed to have had an epiphany. The strength in his body was undergoing a tumultuous change.
This was an extrely dangerous mont, so Zhou Wen had no choice but to guard him and not let anyone disturb him.
Just as he was chatting with Tsukuyomi, Zhou Wen suddenly sensed soone walking towards the lounge. Furthermore, the footsteps were rushed. He used Truth Listener to carefully scan the area and realized that the person was the girl they had t a few tis on campus.
“Professor Ming, are you there?” Beryl ca to the door and knocked anxiously.
“What’s the matter?” Zhou Wen opened the door and asked.
“Leave quickly. The people from the League of Guardians want to kill Professor Ming,” Beryl imdiately whispered when she saw Zhou Wen.
“Weren’t they here earlier?” Zhou Wen asked.
“Uncle Buzz only wanted to defeat Professor Ming. He definitely didn’t have the intention to kill anyone. However, the upper echelons of the League of Guardians are different. They want Professor Ming’s life. It’s best you leave quickly and quietly. Don’t let anyone discover you. I think he will take into account our Cape family and won’t attack you on campus. You have to be careful once you leave...” Before Beryl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an abrupt voice.
“Why would I take into account the Cape family?” Hermit’s voice made Beryl shiver. She turned her head and saw a familiar figure walking down the long corridor.
He was wearing sothing like a cloak. Although it didn’t completely cover his face, his face remained indiscernible.
Hermit walked over. His speed wasn’t fast, but his gait seed to have a unique rhythm. Every step seed to be in cadence with the beating of one’s heart, making them feel flustered as their heart raced.
Beryl took two steps back in fright as Zhou Wen pressed down on her shoulder and pulled her behind him.
“I’ve never t you before. What’s your na?” Zhou Wen asked when he found the person unfamiliar. He definitely hadn’t seen him before.
“The mont I contracted with the Guardian, my na beca aningless. The Guardian’s na is my na. You can call Hermit,” Hermit said as he walked.
“Hermit... He’s one of the four Heavenly Kings of the League of Guardians...” Beryl exclaid softly as her face turned pale.
There were more than four Terror-grade existences in the League of Guardians, but the four Heavenly Kings were the most terrifying. Even the mbers of the six families felt fear just from the ntion of their nas.
Beryl finally knew why Buzz had forbidden her from asking. With this person around, even if the head of the Cape family personally ca, he probably wouldn’t be able to stop him from killing.
“You aren’t his match. Run...” Beryl turned around to urge Ming Xiu to escape, but she saw Ming Xiu standing there motionless as though he hadn’t heard her.
Beryl wanted to walk over, but she was stopped by Tsukuyomi.
“He can’t move now unless you want him to die,” Tsukuyomi said indifferently.
Beryl was imdiately stunned. She carefully observed Ming Xiu and realized that sothing was amiss with him.
“Could he be breaking through?” Beryl said with a complicated expression.
“Yes,” Tsukuyomi answered affirmatively.
“What should we do? Why does it have to be at this ti?” Beryl was anxious and at a loss.
“We’ll leave after he breaks through,” Tsukuyomi said.
“How can we wait until then?” Beryl didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. If they could wait, she wouldn’t be reeling with anxiety.
They could wait, but Hermit wouldn’t.
Beryl turned to look outside. To her surprise, Hermit had stopped outside the door and didn’t rush in.
“Hermit? I’ve never heard of you. What are you doing here?” When Beryl heard Zhou Wen’s words, she nearly fainted.
To her, provoking Hermit in such a manner was equivalent to him hanging himself in front of Death.
