Seeing her speechless for a while, the man felt a small sense of victory. 'Finally afraid now, aren't you?'
He continued to announce Cheyenne's "crimes".
"Cheyenne, female, twenty-one years old, your sin is pride!"
"Someone like you, who puts yourself above everything and disregards the organization's rules, even God wouldn't tolerate it."
Arrogance?
She sarcastically sneered, "Pride is the first of the seven deadly sins. In the Bible, pride represents a challenge to God. Is TWILIGHT afraid of a weak woman like me?"
And the famous devil Satan's first sin was also pride, challenging the authority of God, which is absolutely not allowed.
"Now that you know, Miss Lawrence, and you're still so arrogant, then let's hear what your punishment will be! According to TWILIGHT's rules, Miss Lawrence shall receive... the Sea Burial!"
The history of the sea burial is very ancient. It originated from the Nordic pirates. At sunset, the body is placed on a small boat and thrown into the sea to sink.
After hearing his verdict, Cheyenne was relieved that at least she still had a "complete corpse".
Suddenly, a familiar and elderly voice came from the entrance, startling Cheyenne. She turned her head and looked.
It was pitch black.
She couldn't see anything.
Oh right, she had forgotten that her eyes were covered by a cloth.
"Hold on, Master Charlie. She can't die yet. There is something more important that I want to ask her," said the white-haired old man, hurriedly walking over and intervening, exchanging a brief glance with the man.
Behind his mask, the man furrowed his brows and Cheyenne could tell that he was not entirely pleased with the old man opposing his decision.
"Mr. King, you must give me a reason not to kill her," he said. Cheyenne represented a loss of two billion!
He wanted to hear what Mr. King had to say.
Mr. King! The old man standing in front of him was the gut she and Iker had been searching for.
He could only hear this "Mr. King" reply with a cold smirk, "Cheyenne cured Iker's leg. She must know what the final level of the Thirteen Needles is. That's why she can't die just yet!"
Upon hearing this, the man in the mask also froze for a few seconds.
Cheyenne healed Iker's leg!
How was that possible?
She was just a twenty-one-year-old young girl, and Iker's leg was not only necrotic but also affected by the Serpent Magic.
Even regular doctors wouldn't know that Iker was poisoned, let alone be able to heal him.
Cheyenne had truly surprised him.
Suddenly, he no longer wanted to kill her. There were very few women who were as intelligent, beautiful, talented, and independent as her.
Even the so-called noble ladies of the prestigious families in Onistead were not as interesting as her.
Behind their ladylike appearances, they were all rigid and calculating souls.
Before leaving, the man in the mask specifically instructed Mr. King, walking out of the room with his hands behind his back.
