Chapter 1387 - 485: Decision

At this moment, a subordinate standing behind Froco walked towards Su Ming with a malicious gaze.

Su Ming’s brow immediately furrowed, instinctively taking a step back, his muscles tensed.

He didn’t expect this fellow to actually want to strip away his disguise, this time he was doomed!

"Do you think you can escape? Seize him for me!"

Seeing Su Ming retreating, Froco said with a sneer on his face.

Then, an unexpected scene unfolded for everyone: Dikufa and the others stepped forward to block Froco’s subordinate from getting to Su Ming.

Su Ming was also taken aback, looking at Dikufa and the others standing in front of him.

"What do you mean by this?"

Froco asked with a terrifyingly grim expression.

"Enough, Froco, don’t you think you’re being too much?"

Emkain said coldly, looking at Froco.

"Exactly, it’s outright bullying! Who gave you the right to strip off our cloaks and veils? You’re desecrating our beliefs!"

Dikufa and the others angrily retorted.

In fact, among those who worship the God, there are many who are ascetics. These ascetics have their own beliefs. They train their will in various forms, among which many conceal their appearance, living a life of purity!

Some of these individuals don’t show their true face for their entire lives. Froco, without any evidence or justification, came forward wanting to strip them of their disguise, clearly humiliating them and desecrating their faith.

However, Froco didn’t see it that way. His son was beaten so badly, and these people not only defended one another but wouldn’t even let anyone strip off a covering cloak. It was as though they didn’t regard him at all.

"Fine, you guys are tough. Today I’m not just going to strip, I’m taking the person away as well."

Froco said, trembling with rage.

"You can try!"

Dikufa and the others responded confrontationally.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, both sides staring each other down, looking ready to fight.

At this time, Coronan rushed over with An Ruoxue.

Seeing the two groups about to break into a fight, Coronan’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly spoke up.

"Emkain, what’s happened with Froco?"

"Coronan, you’re just in time, look at what the Divine Word Legion has done to my son."

Froco accused Coronan.

"How did this happen?"

Coronan glanced at Conriv, seeing him beaten so badly, he was quite shocked.

"Uncle Coronan, you have to stand up for me. This guy was shady, and I was just concerned and approached to ask, but he hit me brutally."

Conriv pointed at Su Ming and accused.

Coronan turned to look, seeing Su Ming was causing trouble, his face immediately turned sour.

An Ruoxue was also taken aback, not expecting this issue to involve Su Ming.

At this point, Emkain spoke with displeasure.

"The God has spoken that there’s cause and effect. Froco, you know why your son was beaten. This matter is simply self-defense by my people."

"You mean I’m being unreasonable and biased? Well, today I am biased, will you protect him no matter what?"

Froco threatened fiercely.

"Our Divine Word Army doesn’t start trouble but isn’t afraid of it either!"

Emkain replied coldly.

Seeing the two sides on the verge of a fierce conflict, Coronan quickly moved to stand in the middle to mediate.

"Both of you, calm down. We’re all on the same side. Let’s not let this matter spoil our harmony, can we both take a step back?"

"How do we step back when they don’t intend to solve this properly?"

Froco said angrily.

Coronan’s expression changed repeatedly, before speaking to Froco.

"Froco, listen, the training is about to end. Once it’s over, he will leave the fortress and you won’t have to see him again. Please, for my sake, let this matter go and take Conriv back to rest."

"Hmph!"

Froco snorted coldly, leaving angrily with Conriv.

Coronan watched Froco leave furiously, taking a deep breath to suppress his irritation, and spoke to Emkain.

"Emkain, I’m sorry. Froco is just worried about his son, please don’t take it to heart."

"Coronan, we collaborate with you because we share a common enemy and ideals. But I hope you also respect us, I don’t want to say any more about today’s matter."

Although Emkain didn’t lose his temper, he was obviously quite angry.

"Yes, it’s a misunderstanding."

Coronan tried his best to placate.

"I hope this doesn’t happen again."

Emkain didn’t say much more, turning to leave with his people.

Only Su Ming, An Ruoxue, and Coronan were left at the scene.

Coronan’s face turned livid, his expression extremely unpleasant.

An Ruoxue immediately spoke to Coronan.

"Father, Xiao Su must be wronged, I know him best, he’s not that kind of person."

"Shut up!"

Coronan rebuked An Ruoxue coldly.

An Ruoxue was also stunned, not expecting her father to be so angry and even scold her, something that had never happened before.

"I don’t care who you are, leave immediately after training ends!"

Coronan warned Su Ming before storming off, tossing his sleeves in anger.

An Ruoxue apologized to Su Ming.

"I’m sorry, Su Ming. My father isn’t usually like this. I hope you won’t take it to heart."

"It’s okay."
