"What?"
Meldrick gasped. His mouth remained open, looking aghast.
It took him a while to finally gather his thoughts. He exclaimed, "Sofia! Are you kidding me? Do you just say Severin killed Ronnie? That's impossible!"
Sofia started to wonder if she had misunderstood Meldrick. Perhaps Meldrick did not tell Ronnie that Severin had killed Brandon. Meldrick did not look like he knew Ronnie had tried to Kill Severin.
She scoffed, "Why is it impossible? Ronnie tried to kill Severin because Severin killed his son. Severin was the one who told me. He won't lie to me about that. Severin is stronger than Ronnie. In the end, Ronnie was the one who got killed instead."
"Oh! Isn't Severin almost the same age as us? How did he improve so fast? Ronnie is a level seven warrior emperor! With that said, Severin's attainment is higher than a level seven warrior emperor."
Meldrick was shocked. Previously, he convinced himself that Ronnie must have gotten killed by Ronnie's enemies on the way to kill Severin. That was why Ronnie had not returned after so long.
Little did he know that Severin had already killed Ronnie, and Severin was still alive.
"Sofia, I take it that you came out this time to look for Severin."
Meldrick's heart hurt knowing Sofia left the sect just to visit Severin. He understood Sofia stopped him from killing Severin because she was grateful that Severin saved us once. However, he knew it was totally different. Her purpose was not as pure as that anymore.
