On the other side,
Gabriel’s face was so dark it could almost drip water.
Though he had long anticipated the possibility of defeat, when the fact was truly laid before him, he still found it hard to suppress the fury within his heart.
"Worthless!"
His voice was icy cold: "A Totem Level couldn’t even defeat a Monarch Tier Nine!"
"Such trash doesn’t deserve to stay by my side! Send him to the front lines!"
Upon hearing his command, the other Totem Level behind him imdiately accepted the order.
After venting, Gabriel finally cald down.
Now the event had already happened....
He must find a way to solve it!
The winner of the competition, Laney, is clearly closely related to the third successor Lazuli.
This ans she is very likely to choose between him and Leah in the challenge segnt.
Leah is already a Totem Level existence, yet he is still stuck at Half-step Totem...
The answer is almost self-evident.
Though he does not fear the challenge, being challenged publicly under the watchful eyes would be akin to trampling his dignity on the ground.
This is sothing he absolutely cannot tolerate!
As he searched for a way to prevent such a situation from happening, an old man silently appeared before him —
The Angel of Wisdom, also Leah’s Guardian!
He slightly bowed, his tone calm yet undeniable:
"Lord Gabriel, Lady Leah requests an audience with you."
Seeing the Angel of Wisdom suddenly appear, Gabriel was first stunned, then seed to understand sothing, a faint smile slowly tugging at the corner of his mouth.
"Let’s go!"
Under the guidance of the Angel of Wisdom, Gabriel quickly ca before Leah.
At this mont, Leah’s gaze was tightly locked on Aster Grant not far away,
Even with Gabriel’s arrival, she did not shift her gaze in the slightest.
Seeing this, Gabriel’s expression darkened, but he dared not show the slightest displeasure in front of Leah, and could only stand quietly aside.
After a long ti, Leah slowly turned, her eyes cold as they landed on him:
"What are your thoughts on Laney and Lazuli?"
She wasted no ti, going straight to the point.
Gabriel snorted coldly, saying arrogantly:
"Neither of them is my match! They pose no threat to whatsoever!"
Leah, however, showed no rcy, scolding coldly:
"Fool!"
"You——!"
Gabriel choked on his words, fury surged up instantly.
If it were anyone else, he would have acted without hesitation.
But facing Leah...
He dared not!
Suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and retorted:
"Could those two really defeat ?"
Could any of them truly be able to prevail over ?"
Leah only glanced at him lightly, speaking calmly:
"Can you guarantee with absolute certainty the win against Guardian Law and Destruction Law?"
Upon hearing this question, Gabriel’s confident expression froze.
You must know, these two Laws are exclusive to the God of Angels.
Previously, in the entire Angel World, no one had ever awakened them.
No one knows to what extent these Laws might achieve.
His earlier statent of ’certain victory’ obviously contained so bravado.
Faced with Leah’s sharp questioning, he fell silent for a while.
And Leah was also well aware:
If Gabriel were eliminated at this point, after entering the Miridia, she would have to face Lazuli and Laney alone.
The threat these two posed to her was stronger than Gabriel!
Precisely because of this, prompted by the Angel of Wisdom, she had decisively summoned Gabriel.
At this mont, Gabriel also snapped out of it, raising a brow and asking:
"Leah, you didn’t call over just to say all this, did you?"
Gabriel didn’t believe that Leah was kind-hearted enough to remind him of these matters.
Leah’s lips curved slightly:
"Of course not! I have a foolproof thod, do you want to hear it?"
Gabriel’s eyes focused: "What thod?"
Leah exchanged a glance with the Angel of Wisdom,
The old man slowly stepped forward, speaking calmly:
"Our Angel Race has always been jointly ruled by five angels,"
The Angel of Wisdom’s voice was steady, like a tranquil well, "Everything can be decided by the five lords."
Gabriel frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with ?"
The Angel of Wisdom continued:
"The Seraph has long been distant, never involved in internal affairs, so it can temporarily be disregarded."
"The Angel of Judgnt must maintain fairness in the competition, thus cannot intervene in decision-making."
"Therefore, those who can participate in decision-making... there are only three left."
Seeing Gabriel still looking puzzled, the Angel of Wisdom had to further explain:
"We can propose a motion and directly reject Laney’s qualification to challenge you."
"Although this thod cannot be used against the third successor, dealing with an ordinary angel without support is not a difficult task."
"Once passed, the challenge segnt can be skipped, directly comncing the successor trial."
"Upon entering the Miridia, you only need to join forces with Lady Leah to first eliminate the third successor."
Upon hearing these words, Gabriel’s eyes lit up suddenly——
This way, he can avoid battle to preserve dignity, yet comply with rules, leaving no loopholes!
"Good, let’s do it this way!"
...
anwhile.
Kieran Sinclair originally intended to go directly to see Lazuli.
Yet at the very mont before stepping forward, he suddenly paused.
His gaze fell on his blood-stained battle armor, disheveled wings, and his dusty, unkempt appearance.
No...
He absolutely cannot et his daughter in such a sorry state!
Upon reunion after such a long absence, leaving such an unsuitable impression, what could be done?
As the Angel General commanding ten thousand soldiers, renowned across the border, at this mont, his mind was stirred by such a trivial matter.
He took a deep breath, resolutely turned, heading for a place he used to disdain——
The comrcial street.
As he casually entered a clothing store, the shopkeeper was thoroughly stunned:
"Lord Kieran?! Why would you personally co to this place..."
Kieran rarely showed a hint of unease.
He usually never stepped foot into these kinds of urban shops, let alone personally buy clothes.
After a brief silence, he finally spoke softly: "Choose two suits that fit well."
The shopkeeper was initially stunned, then almost cried out in surprise.
This is the pillar of the Angel Race, the undefeated legend of the battlefield!
Having such a custor is an unimaginable honor even in his dreams!
To be able to serve him is an enormous privilege!
"Please wait—no, just thirty minutes! I will imdiately send communication to gather the most top-notch designers in the city, and surely present you with the most perfect attire!"
He was so excited he was speaking in unconnected words, even his fingers trembled slightly.
To win Lord Kieran’s recognition, this small store would surely beco famous in the Holy City!
Therefore, even if it cost all his efforts and exhausted all his treasures, he must achieve perfection.
Kieran hesitated for a mont, ultimately nodded in agreent, "I leave it to you, shopkeeper."
The reunion with his daughter must not be handled carelessly.
"Dare not!" The shopkeeper’s waist was almost bent to the ground, "Being able to serve the lord is a blessing accumulated over several lifetis!"
"Lord Kieran, follow !"
