Mani could not believe what he had just heard.
This was essentially what Neely had said. However, he never intended to pick her over anything or anybody.
He knew what Barbara was going to request of him next, And he had already decided on an answer.
"And if I say No!" He interrupted her.
She looked at him with her brows frowning. One look at her and it was obvious that she was holding back her slowly rising anger.
Barbara was currently leader of the only resistance against the Vandora kingdom.
People in positions of power were not most popular with the concept of patience. She was not too far an exception to this.
Besides, she was a bronze rank cultivator. She could not believe that an ordinary copper ranked cultivator would dare to go against her.
"Wait a minute..." She thought to herself. "Is he copper rank already. Did this man just advance on the battlefield?"
She couldn't help but crack a sudden smile.
This smile came from the bottom of her heart.
