“Master Leonidas...”
Renee ran toward Leonidas and hugged him tightly.
“Are you okay, Renee?” Leonidas asked with concern in his eyes.
“I'm fine... B-But my dad...” her voice trailed off as she started sobbing the moment she thought about her father.
Leonidas let out a sigh.
Right then, Jared walked toward Leonidas. With a single move, he
pulled Leonidas up and channeled some spiritual energy into the latter’s body. In an instant, Leonidas felt a wave of strength wash over his body.
“Thank you, Mr. Chance, for all you've done for us! We will never forget it!" Leonidas said as he was about to kneel before Jared, and Renee followed suit.
However, before both of their knees came into contact with the ground, Jared stopped them. “Abbot Leonidas, please don't kneel. It is fate that bound us together. Besides, Renee has helped me a lot too!"
If it weren't for Renee's help, Jared would have needed to spend much longer cultivating his abilities. The frosty energy trapped inside her body helped speed up the entire process.
With that, the three of them walked down the mountain and reached Lagrange Monastery. The place had already been cleared and cleaned, and not a single soul was there. Yet, something was different. More than ten tombstones could be seen in the open area behind the main hall.
Renee couldn't hold it in anymore as she broke down in sobs at the sight of it.
The buried bodies there were her seniors and juniors she had grown up with. When they were still alive, some of her seniors used to take care of her and doted on her. Alas, all of them had become cold, lifeless bodies that were buried underground.
Situated in the front was the biggest grave compared to the rest. Renee's body trembled when she walked up to it, and she held onto the tombstone tightly.
