âThank heavens, youâre finally awake!â In the recreation room, the Legion Commander Grace exuded a relieved smile.
It had been a day and a night since Tina had fallen unconscious. If Tina and Su Yu didnât wake up, they very well could end up in a vegetative state.
Tina stood up and brushed off the fragments from the sofa she had been resting on. Gratefully, she said, âCommander, thank you for waking me! Without you â
âYouâre welcome, Tina.â Grace lightly patted Tinaâs shoulder, speaking in both a kind and commanding tone: âAs the commander of the Knights, this is what I should do.â
Seeing that Su Yu had also risen, Grace continued: âTina, I have some good news for you!â
âGood news?â
âThatâs right. Iâve investigated the details of yesterdayâs duel with Megan, and Megan certainly cheated. The potion she used was not made by herself. That is an egregious violation!â affirmed Grace with a serious tone.
âJust as I suspected.â Tina showed an alert expression, âWhat will you do then? How will you penalize Instructor Megan?â
âMy plan is â Grace glanced at Su Yu before continuing, âMy plan is to remove Megan from her instructor position, banish her from the Unicorn Legion, and never employ her again!â
âWhat about Kimberly?â Su Yu crossed his arms and looked at Grace. He hadnât forgotten about the mastermind behind the scenes.
âAs for Kimberly,â Graceâs expression remained unchanged, âLike Megan, she will be expelled from the Unicorn Legion, never to be employed again. Tina, are you satisfied with their punishment?â
âReally? Iâm very satisfied.â Tina was incredibly excited, her small face flushing.
âThank you so much, Commander. Thank you for standing up for me!â Tina stepped forward, holding Graceâs hand, overwhelmed with emotion.
Had the commander not stood up for her, she wouldnât have known what to do about Megan and Kimberly.
âYou donât need to thank me. As a commander, this is what I should do. If you want, you can thank the royal envoy âNemesisâ.â Grace said, glancing at Su Yu.
âNemesis, the royal envoy?â Tina was a bit confused.
Though she witnessed Su Yuâs major life events, she clearly couldnât connect him to the âroyal envoyâ.
âNo worries, Tina.â Su Yu smiled and walked towards Tina and Grace: âCommander Grace, thank you so much for standing up for Tina. I believe Princess Alyssa will appreciate your actions!â
âItâs only right,â said Grace modestly.
That was the effect she had intended.
If Su Yu could put in a good word for her in front of the Princess, the sacrifice of her niece would be worth it.
But Su Yu continued, âBy the way, Commander Grace, I have another question for you.â
âWhat is it?â
âItâs about your position as the commander.â Su Yu asked directly, âIf Tina wants to succeed you as the commander of the Unicorn Knight Corps in the short term, what should she do?â
âHaha, youâre such a joker.â Grace laughed boisterously, as if Su Yu was joking.
âIâm not joking.â Su Yu said seriously, âAnd I believe that soon, Tina will succeed you and become the new commander of the Knight Corps.â
âIs that so? Letâs wait and see! I have to leave for some business,â Grace dismissed, heading towards the door of the recreation room.
But once she turned her back, her face darkened severely, and her shoulders began to tremble slightly, clearly attempting to suppress her anger.
Punishing her niece by expelling her from the Knight Corps was already a significant concession for Su Yu, the âroyal envoyâ! And now Su Yu was getting greedy, even planning to usurp her position as the commander?
You canât just climb the ladder and reach for the sky, can you?!
Even if it was the Princess herself, she would never relinquish her position as the commander!
Grace pulled open the door fiercely, for a moment, harboring thoughts of killing Su Yu to vent her anger.
But when she opened the door, Grace found a person standing outside.
It was an elderly man with white beard, dressed in a simple white robe, smiling at her pleasantly.
âMay I ask who you are?â Grace felt a jump in her heartbeat. The old man had been standing at the door, yet she didnât notice him at all, indicating that he was far more powerful than her.
Without replying, the old man maintained his smile, releasing a wave of oppressive power that descended upon her from all directions.
Thump!
Grace was knocked to the ground by the force.
To her horror, the oppressive power was so immense that she couldnât move a finger, let alone resist.
âWhere where did this powerhouse come from?â This came as a bolt from the blue for Grace.
Even the seventh-tier powerhouse, Xi Fan, couldnât suppress her like this. Who was this old man?
âFrom now on, listen to Tina. Do you understand?â The old man spoke slowly, still maintaining his smile.
âI I â Grace wanted to reply, but she was so heavily suppressed that she couldnât speak coherently, and her mind was extremely sluggish.
âGood as long as you understand.â The old man withdrew his force.
Then, in an instant, he vanished without a trace.
After the old man left, Grace felt a sudden relief, and she returned to normal.
âWhew whew â
Grace was panting heavily, her heart nearly leaping out of her chest.
âWho was that just now? He was too scary!â Graceâs fury had vanished without a trace, leaving only immense fear in her heart.
Gazing at the severe oppression she had just undergone, if the old man had wanted to kill her, she would certainly be dead by now.
Who would have thought Tina had such a high-level powerhouse by her side? This
Grace could hardly express her panicked emotions.
Tina didnât respond immediately, but first gave Su Yu a questioning glance.
After receiving his confirmation, Tina replied, âThe man just now was the embodiment of the Empireâs guardian deity, Evan Goldsparrow.â
âEvan Goldsparrow?!â Grace gasped, feeling like she nearly had a heart attack on the spot.
Itâs the guardian deity, God Evan!
That was God Evanâs embodiment?
She must be dreaming!
No wonder the old man possessed such incredible power! Just his oppressive force alone was making it difficult for her to breathe.
Considering this, in the whole Empire, only God Evan could suppress her to this extent with just an embodiment.
âTina, I never would have expected that you drew the attention of God Evan.â In Graceâs eyes, Tinaâs status rose tremendously.
Initially, Tinaâs talent was unique. Now she had attracted the attention of the Empireâs top powerhouse, leaving only four words in Graceâs heart â a promising future.
âI just met His Deity as well. Furthermore, it was Evan who insisted that I become the commander of the Unicorn Knight Corps so I can assist Princess Alyssa sooner,â Tina explained.
âI see,â Grace finally understood.
So it was God Evan who wanted Tina to take her place.
Looking at it now, her position was definitely unretainable. Grace sighed.
