Regal Guard of Dragon

Chapter 788 Making a Choice

"Do you mean that if I do not agree to marry Russell, I may not be able to leave this banquet hall

safely?"

Finn's face was grim. There was some coldness in his eyes.

"No, young man from Country C, you misunderstood me." Holy King shook his head and said, "We

have always been in a friendly relationship with Country C, although there will be a little fight from time NôvelDrama.Org content.

to time, that is a good chance to train the young generation."

Holy King picked up a glass of red wine from the table, and filled it half for himself. Then, holding the

glass to Finn, he said, "You may take it as advice from an elder to a youngman."

As soon as he had said this, he raised the glass, took a sip, and said to Finn, "You know that Musashi

Miyamoto, Soroka, and Philip hated you so much that they itch to kill you. But because Zachary is here,

they're afraid to attack you. However, if you refuse to marry Russell, the Holy Sect will consider that

you look down upon us, thinking that we are unworthy of a young man like you. Even though the Holy

Sect is on good terms with Country C, I will arrange for a knight to escort you back after the banquet."

Holy King put emphasis on the "knight", hinting that Finn would not have Zachary to escort him safely

back.

"Well, why does the elder's advice to the young sound so harsh?"

Finn's face turned rather sullen. He was now in an awkward situation.

He was not afraid of revenge from Musashi Miyamoto Soroka and Philip. He was thinking how to refuse

the marriage without jeopardizing Country C's good relations with the Holy Sect.

"That sounds hardship, but it's true!" Holy King said slowly, as if he had held Finn under control.

"Without the presence of the Holy Sect, they might catch you when you left the banquet hall. I won't tell

you what happens if they catch you."

Finn let out a small sigh.

"Thank you for your kindness. It is late, and I would not disturb you. I will visit you when I have the

opportunity."

Finn's tone was neither cringing nor arrogant. After that, he turned to leave.

"Young man, do you know what it means if you leave? It means that you will lose a beauty, the

supreme power and the chance to be one of the strongest men in the world. It also means that you will

lose your precious life."

Holy King uttered the four losings in one breath, and each was like a heavy hammer, beating hard in

Finn's heart.

Finn, however, turned a deaf ear and walked out of the hall without looking back.

Holy King did not know that when he said those words, Finn heard Maura's voice in his heart.

"I believe in Finn."

"How did that happen? How could he make such an irrational decision?"

After Finn walked out of the banquet room without hesitation, Russell finally asked, "How did an unwise

guy like him get to this point?"

Through Finn's outstanding performance in the game yesterday, Russell thought that Finn was not only

superior in strength, but also had a mature outlook on the big picture and was very wise. However,

what Finn just did had shaken her opinion. In her mind, most of the emotional people would only

become the stepping stones for those who claimed to be King.

Russell was not lost and disappointed now, but rather angry.

For so many years, her identity and status were very noble. Countless young and powerful men wanted

to gain her favor at all costs.

No matter where she went, there would be praises and compliments. Even if she asked, her pursuers

would work for her regardless of the consequences, as she was the Holy Virgin of the Holy Sect, the

goddess in the eyes of the world.

Those men included Arthur, who had lost an arm.

Finn turned her down. This was the first time in her life to lower her dignity and posture to take the

initiative to show her feelings to a man. At that time, she was like a shy girl. She decided that Finn was

the man she wanted to marry.

Finn, however, turned her down because of a woman. That meant she was not good enough compared

with that normal woman. That was a terrible excuse!

How could a woman, who had perfect appearance and figure, tolerate others to harm her dignity as

important as life.

"Alas! Russell, you're wrong. He's not unwise. That's the reason why I appreciate him."

Holy King shook and looked at Russell who was angry lovingly. Although it was in the interest of the

Holy Sect to marry Russell to Finn, he had no control of it.

Russell remained silent. Finn's words stuck in her mind.

"I will get your heart and make you want to marry me." Russell said to herself.

After a while, Russell asked Holy King, "Holy King, you just said to Finn that Musashi Miyamoto of

Country J, Soroka and Philip of the Country A are waiting outside. They want to kill Finn when he

comes out. Why did he still leave Sanskrit City?"

"You have to ask him that."

Holy King did not answer Russell's question directly, but sorted out his mind and looked in the direction

Finn had left, and then his eyes lit up.

Soon, Finn walked outside the banquet hall.

One of the guards outside saw Finn coming out. He walked up to Finn and saluted, "Mr. Chen, the

carriage is waiting where you got off. I'll take you there."

Finn looked in the direction he had come. The carriage was the same one that took him here.

After thinking for a moment, Finn said to the guard, "Just now I had a great talk with Holy King and Holy

Virgin, and unconsciously I ate a little too much, so I want to take a walk to digest."

Finn rubbed his hands around his stomach, looking like he was full.

"But would you mind sending the carriage to Sanskrit Hotel and bringing me a welcome gift? I came in

such a hurry that I forgot to bring the welcome gift to Holy King."

"No problem! Mr. Chen."

The guard felt a little strange watching Finn overeat. But as Mr. Chen was a special guest of Holy King,

he did not dare to neglect him.

Finn thanked the guard, and his figure slowly faded, and finally disappeared.

The guard was taken aback. He did not go to the Sanskrit Hotel to bring the gift. Instead, he reported it

to his superiors.

At the same time, Finn used a clever trick to skim past one ancient building after another. Until he was

far from the core of the Holy Sect did he slowly emerge above a building.

Yes, Finn didn't leave Sanskrit City in the first place. He knew that if he swaggered out of Sanskrit City,

what was waiting for him was Musashi Miyamoto's, Soroka's and Philip's retaliation.

So, he waited for the carriage to drive out of Sanskrit City before he left. And then he would take

another carriage to leave.

As the carriage slowly left Sanskrit City, Finn nodded slightly and disappeared into the night again.
