Killing Adam was an incredibly simple task for Xu Fan, it was not even the slightest effort.
However, Xu Fan didn't understand why he said so much in one breath.
Perhaps he thought of Jiang Wu, or maybe he saw the pale desolation on Jiang Quan's face. After saying those words, Xu Fan felt much better.
"An insignificant person, yet he affected my state of mind. It seems my mindset still lacks," Xu Fan sighed inwardly.
In fact, not even Adam, nor even the Pope, could affect Xu Fan's mindset. The reason Xu Fan was moved was mostly because of Jiang Quan! And Xu Fan's four questions, seemingly directed at Adam, were actually comforting Jiang Quan.
Jiang Quan turned his head away, intentionally not letting Xu Fan see his red eyes, but his slightly trembling shoulders betrayed his inner emotion.
The Church of Light claims to be brightness, yet why isn't anyone purifying the Blood Clan? The Church of Light claims to be brightness and should take the rescue of Blood Slaves as its duty, so why educate the world to see Blood Slaves as filthy and deserving death? Blood Slaves did not volunteer, and before becoming Blood Slaves, they were human. Even after becoming Blood Slaves, they have not lost rationality or emotion, so why must they die?
These were the words Jiang Quan and countless Blood Slaves had always wanted to shout but were finally spoken by Xu Fan.
"You, you're talking nonsense! You're bewitching people with delusive words! You should be tied to the stake and burned to death!"
Adam's face turned as red as a beet as he shouted angrily, "I see! You must be a Blood Slave too! Archbishop Dora must have been enchanted by you! You have co to our Church of Light with ill intentions!"
Seeing Adam like this, Xu Fan instead smiled.
Actually, when Xu Fan got angry before, he was not angry with Adam. How could a re guard have the qualification to make Xu Fan angry?
Xu Fan was angry about the world's injustice, about the heartache behind Jiang Quan's rebellion.
And now that Xu Fan understood, he naturally wouldn't be angry anymore.
Patting Jiang Quan's shoulder, Xu Fan smiled and said, "Falling into darkness is not your fault, nor the fault of brightness. It is just the injustice of fate. However, being misunderstood and abandoned by the world is the fault of the world and more so the fault of brightness."
"The fault of brightness is in its incompetence, yet it refuses to admit its incompetence, instead shifting the bla onto the innocent."
Hearing Xu Fan's words, Adam was excitedly shouting again, but Jiang Quan's face was extrely complex, with heartache, helplessness, and a deep despair.
Xu Fan ignored Adam, changed the subject with a smile, "However, if brightness cannot illuminate the darkness, then it is not real brightness!"
Jiang Quan's whole body trembled.
If brightness cannot illuminate the darkness, then it is not real brightness!
What is real brightness?
For the first ti, Jiang Quan looked up, tears filled his eyes as he looked toward Xu Fan, feeling the world before him seed different, as if warmth had appeared in a land of coldness.
Xu Fan chuckled lightly, "Do you rember what I said? This world is vast and wonderful, and what we see is just a drop in the ocean."
"This world has no elixir to cure Blood Slaves, but other worlds may have them. The Blood Clan is just a branch of the Demon Clan, and the Demon Clan is just a faction in this imnse world. Trust , okay?"
Thud! Thud!
Tears fell to the ground, Jiang Quan nodded heavily towards Xu Fan with all his strength, "Mr. Xu, I trust you. From now on, my life is yours."
Ha ha ha!
Xu Fan laughed heartily and patted Jiang Quan's shoulder, "Your life is your own, I don't want it!"
During the weakest period of Xu Fan's strength, he t Jiang Wu, who was willing to sacrifice his life to protect him. It was the thing Xu Fan hated the most, and now, though Xu Fan's enemies have grown stronger, Xu Fan himself is not the sa as he once was. Xu Fan would never allow Jiang Wu's tragedy to happen again!
Seeing Jiang Quan co to terms with himself, Xu Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head to face Adam, who was stunned by his words, and the faint smile on Xu Fan's face faded, turning cold.
"If soone respects a foot, I will respect them a yard. That's my principle, but in reality, it's often that when soone bullies a foot, I respect them a yard, and when soone respects a yard, I bully them a foot!"
An insignificant Adam indeed wasn't worth Xu Fan's anger, but that didn't an Xu Fan could be easily bullied!
"You have ten seconds, one hundred slaps, to apologize. Otherwise..."
Xu Fan didn't finish his words and stopped.
If this Adam apologized, then everything would be settled, and Xu Fan wouldn't care to lower himself to such level, but if Adam refused graciousness, then this matter would naturally not end well.
Given Xu Fan's status, if it alard the Pope or if Xu Fan rely inford Dora, then Adam might not even have a proper burial place.
For an insignificant guard, he was insignificant in the grander sche of the Church of Light's interests.
"I'd really like to know what you'll do to Adam otherwise?"
A voice suddenly ca from sowhere, and a youth with blonde hair and blue eyes, a standard Western face, walked over with a group of guards. His hawk-like sharp gaze fixed fiercely on Xu Fan, as if to pierce and tear Xu Fan apart.
"Commander Matthew! Save !"
Seeing the youth approaching, Adam, who was kneeling on the ground, rejoiced and hurriedly tried to get up, only for Xu Fan to suddenly unleash his aura. Under the trendous pressure, Adam knelt heavily on the ground again, and with a crack, his kneecap shattered.
Xu Fan can be generous and rciful, but he will never allow soone to repeatedly provoke him without regard for their life.
Upon seeing this, the group of guards was furious, and even Matthew's face changed with anger, "Friend, isn't this going too far?"
Xu Fan stood with his hands behind his back, silent and indifferent.
Adam didn't have the qualification to converse with Xu Fan, and neither did Matthew.
Jiang Quan sneered coldly, "Who do you think you are to dare call Mr. Xu a friend?"
Matthew's face turned grim, as one of the Church of Light's most outstanding talents, even the Pope held him in high regard. He had never suffered such an insult.
However, as the Guard Captain, Matthew was naturally different from Adam, clearly more cautious. At this mont, he didn't act rashly but suppressed his anger, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Mr. Xu, given your status, bullying a re guard seems sowhat like abusing power, doesn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Fan unexpectedly laughed.
Abusing power?
Today, Xu Fan indeed planned to abuse his power!
"Weren't you eager to know what would happen otherwise? I can tell you," Xu Fan said with a calm smile, causing those present to change their expressions dramatically, "If your subordinate refuses to apologize to my friend, then I will have no choice but to request your Pope to apologize personally to my friend!"
