Astral Apostle
chapter-216

“What’s there to be afraid of? Compared to everything the royal family has promised, I want freedom more. If I don’t have freedom, I’d rather die!”

Zhou Jing’s tone was decisive.

However, he immediately expressed strong doubts about Roman and threw out a series of questions.

“But why should I believe you? You’re the Privy Chancellor. You’re in a high position. What right do you have to ruin the royal family’s plans to help me? Aren’t you afraid that the king will find out? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell the king about this now? Do you trust me that much?”

Roman smiled. The more worried Zhou Jing seemed, the more at ease he felt.

“I naturally have my reasons for helping you. You just need to know that I’m the Privy Chancellor in name, but I’m not on the same side as the royal family.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing’s expression changed as if he had calmed down. He spoke out,

“Since you’re not on the same side as the royal family, you’re helping me because you don’t want the royal family to monopolize a potion master like me alone and the new blood potion formula in my hands… Therefore, you also need my pharmacology skills.”

“I don’t deny that, but I do treat you as a friend. I understand what you’re worried about. I won’t control your freedom like the royal family.” Roman nodded.

“And why should I believe you?” Zhou Jing frowned.

“I’m not like the King. He wants to hold everything in his hands, and I never wanted to control anything.”

As he spoke, Roman suddenly laughed,

“Besides, I’m confident that you won’t leave me.”

......

“Is it because you think that after I escape the control of the royal family, I will have nowhere to go and no other choice but to stay by your side?” Zhou Jing deliberately replied coldly.

Roman chuckled, “No, I’m the one who can provide you with what the royal family doesn’t have to satisfy your dreams.”

“What dreams do I have?” Zhou Jing pretended to be puzzled.

Roman slowly walked to the fireplace and casually touched the bricks.

“Do you still remember a few months ago? We were talking about what wealth and power are. You said that power is the greatest power, but you don’t dare to take the risk to obtain power in the way of a Mutant Blood Warrior.

The royal family’s offer is indeed very high, but it’s all superficial. What others give you can be taken back at any time and never truly belongs to you. And I can give you something more valuable, something far more important than money and status. The thing that can control your own fate is… a riskless power!”

Just as he spoke…

Whoosh

The fire transformed into three fire pythons that soared into the sky, emitting astonishing heat. The temperature in the room instantly soared.

The heatwave pounced towards their faces.

Zhou Jing’s heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be shocked and leaned against the wall. He said in surprise, “What is this?!”

“In this world, Mutant Blood Warriors are not the only source of power. What I have mastered… is called sorcery!”

Roman smiled and raised his palm. The three fire pythons quickly shrank and turned into three obedient balls of fire that floated in his

palm.

In the light of the fire, he looked at Bill as he slowly enunciated,

“If I want, I can kill the two Mutant Blood Warrior guards monitoring you in a few breaths.

Sorcery doesn’t have to risk your life like a Mutant Blood Warrior. Master Bill, this is the power you dream of training without risking your life!”

Roman waved his hand and the little fireballs fell into the fireplace, turning back into a warm fire.

After displaying all of this, he looked at Zhou Jing with a burning gaze.

“If you want to learn, I’ll teach you!”

“This guy was indeed a sorcerer!”

Zhou Jing’s eyes lit up as he heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

You’re finally showing your cards!
