Chapter 501 - The Strongest Guardian Warrior
Liam was not looking good after what he had discovered in that warehouse. He searched for Zhen-Zhen and others but he didn't see anyone.
In the end, he just went home to gather his thoughts. He was quite shaken after confirming his suspicion.
Now he understood who was the person releasing those magical forces around the school vicinity.
The first time he met Zhen-Zhen he already sensed something strange about her. He thought he was just mistaken but it turned out that Zhen-Zhen was not an ordinary person.
Liam reminisced those moments when he sensed Zhen-Zhen's magical force. He knew that it was a magical fire that burned Jade's and her friend's cell phones.
This also explained when Liam saw Tristan outside the gym near the storage room where Zhen-Zhen had built an invisible barrier during the Acquaintance party. It was indeed Zhen-Zhen who created the barrier.
And not long ago, Liam saw the remnants of magical power when Zhen-Zhen built the invisible barrier to block Jade's path as well as her friends, causing them to trip on their knees and falling on the ground.
Liam massaged his temples. He still couldn't believe this. The girl he admired was the same girl he was looking for, the demon god's daughter.
There was another thing that bothered him most. The guy who resembled the appearance of the demon god. He already saw him inside the campus before. At first, he didn't recognize him.
But the second time he saw the man fighting in the video, he finally remembered the old portrait of the demon god which was created by their ancestors.
They carved his face on the stone to remind the guardian warriors and the later generation of the face of the demon god.
They didn't know if the demon god died or he just disappeared. They thought he might come back anytime.
So the ancestors of the guardian warriors created the portrait of the demon god to tell the other generations that this was the face of the person who would become the threat to humanity. They taught everyone to kill the person who looked like that.
"Don't tell me that the demon god is alive. Did he reunite with his daughter? Lillie and the demon god were together in the video. I wonder if he was the one who helped Lillie move into this world."
Liam was still thinking about them when someone patted his back. The person who did that was Leo.
"Why are you talking to yourself, my friend? You look like you are thinking deeply. Are you bothered by something? Care to share it with me?"
Since Liam was engrossed with his thoughts, he didn't notice that Leo was already there with him. They were in the living room of Leo's Private Villa.
The two of them sat down on the two opposite sofas, facing each other. Liam took a deep sigh.
"I finally found the person I was looking for…" Liam informed Leo with complex emotions on his face.
Leo watched Liam in amusement. He thought Liam would feel happy or fulfilled the moment he found that person. But in his current expression, he could tell that Liam was not happy at all.
"Why are you wearing that kind of expression? Are you not happy that you are about to fulfill and complete your mission? That person is the reason why you came here right?"
Liam's expression darkened further as he was reminded of his mission. He was the leader of the guardian warriors and he came here with one goal in mind: To kill the demon god's daughter.
But now, he didn't know if he could do that mission. He was hesitating to do it, especially now that he discovered the identity of the demon god's daughter.
His resolve was slowly breaking. He didn't know if he could harm Lillie. After being with her for the past few months, he could see that she was not an evil demoness who would try to harm humans.
She was so pure and innocent with a kind heart. How could he hurt her? Could he do it? Stabbing her heart using the divine dagger?
'Why? Why does it have to be you, Lillie? Why?' Liam asked himself while clenching his fists.
Liam was lost in his train of thoughts when Leo had spoken again, snapping him back to reality.
"My friend, do you remember how we first met? I owe you my life. You know that I am forever grateful to you."
Liam faintly smiled at Leo when he heard that. "Yes, I know that. You even let me use your identity."
Liam and Leo exchanged meaningful glances with one another before letting out a soft chuckle. The two of them reminisced the moment of how they met each other.
When Liam arrived in this world, he encountered Leo who was on the verge of ending his life because of depression.
He was about to commit suicide and jump to the cliff but Liam saw him. He immediately stopped him, asking him why he wanted to do it.
That was the darkest moment of Leo's life. He got into an accident, disfigured his face, and paralyzed one of his legs. He couldn't accept what happened to him.
He felt like he couldn't face everyone after that. He hid away from the eyes of the public for so many years. Then just one day he decided to end his life.
But Liam appeared in his life during the time he needed most. Since he was a stranger, Leo didn't hesitate to tell him everything about the tragedy that happened in his life.
Liam listened to him attentively. After Leo was done telling him what happened, Liam talked to him, giving him friendly advice and sharing with him his secret.
At first, Leo didn't believe him but Liam showed him his power by healing his paralyzed leg. Liam's mother was both a healer and a shaman while his father was an element wielder.
He was appointed as the Leader of Guardian Warriors since he was the most powerful guardian warrior that possessed a power…that was a combination of healer, shaman, and element wielder.
