Russell gazed at Promotion in silence, his lips pressed together slightly.
——Retract my previous statement.
Now it seems, His Holiness the Pope is not entirely a blind victim...
His more than a hundred years have not been lived in vain; at least he is much stronger than Qiao.
Unlike his fervent desire for sacrifice —— "Promotion," who had been in the position of ruler for over a century, was far more cold-blooded, indifferent, and ambitious than Qiao.
That Promotion would accept Qiao again is perhaps not entirely because of their good relationship... but because he coveted Qiao's powerful abilities.
As the only person in the world currently capable of slaying the giant dragon, Qiao could be called the nemesis of the giant dragon.
Qiao was indeed an incredibly sharp knife.
That's why, upon hearing the secrets Russell revealed to him, Promotion immediately conceived a new plan based on the premise of "killing the giant dragon" —— because he had been thinking about it all along.
