Upon hearing his voice, the woman’s body jumped slightly. “Tell him what?”
“Tell him about all the things that you gave up because of him, and that he cannot treat you like that.”
Her hands hanging at her sides unconsciously clenched up.
“What does it matter if I tell him?” The woman laughed softly, her voice seemingly turned a little hoarse from despair. “Didn’t you see it yourself just now? He will not believe a single word I say. It is probably fated that the people from the races of gods and demons….. would never come to bear fruition!”
The next day, things turned out just as the man said. He got the demon race’s disciples to seize the woman, and brought her out to be displayed before everyone.
People from the god’s race watched their every move. Those actions had of course not escaped their attention but word had already come down from above that they had already given up on this heir, so what were the guys from the demon race up to now? Are they still trying to use that useless pawn to threaten them?
“I heard that the gods race are prepared to give up on this heir of theirs and do not care whether this woman lives or dies.” The man’s violet eyes were filled with an indecipherable sort of mirth as he walked slowly over to the woman and grabbed her chin in his hand, forcibly raising her head up.
Although the pale and highly haggard countenance looked rather worn out, there was still a hidden stubborn strength within her eyes.
Seeing that, the amusement on the man’s face became more intense. “What a pitiful thing you are. You’ve done everything you can to do so much for the gods race but in the end, they have mercilessly abandoned you so quickly. Do you want to exact revenge on them?”
Without waiting for the woman to respond, the man turned to the people from the gods race and said: “Because of your so called face and dignity, you were willing to give up on such an outstanding heir. I must say that the cold bloodedness of the gods race has really opened my eyes to see you in a new light, whom I will say have even surpassed us, the demon race itself that pales in comparison!”
“Enough of your useless jabbering. Just what do you want?” Someone from the gods race grew impatient and opened his mouth to ask.
The man gave a lazy smile and responded. “It’s nothing really, but because this heir of yours here would rather die than to join the demon race here, a rather loyal member of the gods race I must say, so in order to fulfil her wish, I decided to allow her an appropriate death, so that all of you from the gods race will hold her in grateful remembrance, and keep her forever deep in your hearts.”
After he finished saying those words, the people from the gods race were in an uproar. The woman whose face had been calm and at peace suddenly appeared startled as she stared blankly at the man standing before her, looking like she was feeling a little bewildered by the man’s words.
It was a little different from what he had said before.
He had clearly said such cold and heartless words that day, which chilled her heart completely. But in the end, why was he defending her before the people from the gods race, trying to fill the hearts of those people with guilt by making them think that she was sacrificing herself for the sake of the entire gods race.
