Chapter 132 Confession

In the mansion late at night, the living room lights shone unusually bright, as if rejecting the intrusion of the rainy night outside the window.

Thanks to the soundproof magical device installed on the cabinet, no one knew how hard it was raining outside, or if there was rolling thunder.

In this usually relaxed and comfortable living room, the atmosphere between the two women and one man was as taut as a bowstring, ready to snap at any moment.

Hyperion and Sigrid's gazes met, firm and full of rivalry, like two sharp swords intersecting between Ranch's figure.

No one was willing to give an inch, and the air was thick with the stillness before a storm.

"Meow meow! You guys..."

The Cat Boss, originally wanting to mediate, was about to speak when it was simultaneously stared at by Sigrid and Hyperion.

It shrank its head again, trembling with fear, and scurried back under the sofa.

That was killing intent.

Whether it was Sigrid's frosty eyes or Hyperion's angry gaze, both meant that they wouldn't budge an inch.

Cat Boss was now friends with both Heubao and Xide. If the powder keg really exploded and it was forced to take sides, it didn't even dare to think about what to do!

"Last warning, let go of my Holy Son."

Sigrid's voice grew colder, and her hand began to exert half a point more force.

"You've only known him for at most two months, how can you be so shameless as to say such a thing?"

Hyperion became extremely aggressive at this time, or rather, that was how she spoke when she first met Ranch.

"Holy Son, tell her, am I your person?"

Sigrid looked at Ranch and said. She rarely used a questioning tone when asking questions, as if not allowing the other party to give a negative answer.

"..."

Ranch took a deep breath, and just as he wanted to mediate, Hyperion looked over with a puzzled frown.

"...Holy Son?"

Hyperion thought Sigrid was lying to her.

But at this moment, this was a suitable explanation—why Ranch would cooperate with the Batian branch.

If he himself was in a high position in the Batian branch, then everything seemed very reasonable!

Hyperion looked at Ranch with wide eyes in disbelief, as if needing an explanation from Ranch.

If Ranch really gave an affirmative answer to Sigrid's question, she would only feel like the sky was falling.

Clearly, in the Southern Continent, he was such a staunch enemy of the Rebirth Church.

"I am now a member of the Batian branch. In order to save the Protoss Empire, the Protoss Royal Magic Academy is now an inseparable ally of the Batian branch."

Ranch helplessly let Hyperion continue to hold his forearm. He didn't understand why Hyperion was so resistant to the Rebirth Church.

Clearly, when they parted, they had already agreed to infiltrate the Silent Extinction branch. When they met again, she seemed to have become mortal enemies with the Rebirth Church.

"No...you, you really joined the Rebirth Church?"

Hyperion felt that Ranch was doing more than just infiltrating.

If it was infiltration, he should have given her some hints, instead of openly bringing her to the Batian branch's stronghold in the school, as if he sincerely wanted to cooperate with the Batian branch.

"Of course, he swore that he would never betray the Batian Sect."

Sigrid glanced at Ranch and answered for him, her voice slightly smug.

"It must have been coercion."

Hyperion couldn't believe what kind of bewitching soup this woman had given Ranch that she could bring him before the Batian Sect and make him swear allegiance to the Batian Sect.

She knew that when Ranch was in front of such a powerful figure of the Batian Sect, he was like a fish on a chopping board, and in order to survive, he would definitely agree to join the Batian branch!

"He was willing."

Sigrid said confidently.

"You're lying to ghosts!"

However, Hyperion found that no matter what this woman named Xide said, Ranch didn't refute her at all.

"Say something."

Hyperion could only stare at Ranch and said with a trembling voice.

If Ranch was forced, at least he could blink, she would definitely understand.

"..."

But Ranch's unhurried eyes seemed to be telling her that what Sigrid said was not far from the truth.

"What exactly happened in these two months..."

Hyperion shook her head. The person she trusted the most had actually joined the Rebirth Church and was entangled with a woman from the Batian branch.

"Do you understand? Don't touch other people's things casually."

Sigrid asked Hyperion.

"He's not your thing!"

Hyperion didn't let go of Ranch even at this moment. She knew that if Ranch really went astray one day, she would be the only one who could lead him out of the abyss.

Then she looked at Ranch again.

"Anyway, no matter what you say today, I can't possibly cooperate with the Rebirth Church. I swear in the name of the Goddess, I will never betray my faith because of personal feelings."

Hyperion said resolutely to Ranch, with half a tear in her eyes.

She was also laying her cards on the table with Ranch, telling him why she reacted so strongly after learning that he had joined the Rebirth Church, and how sad she was now.

"Goddess...you are from the Church of the Goddess of Fate?"

Sigrid frowned and stared at Hyperion with some realization.

"Then things are simple, we have nothing to cooperate with. It's useless what he says now, I'm going to show you who's in charge of this house today."

Sigrid snorted coldly, feeling absurd. The Holy Son actually brought back a spy from the Church of the Goddess of Fate. In the future, she really couldn't let him contact other women casually, or he would be easily deceived.

"You are the Holy Son's friend, I won't put you to death, but if you still don't understand who he belongs to, I will give you a good lesson."

Sigrid stared at Hyperion's hand, her cold eyes devoid of the last bit of patience.

"You want to duel with me? I can accompany you right now."

Hyperion stared at Sigrid without backing down and asked.

If they were going to fight, they would go to the semi-restricted area or the unrestricted area, where they could compete and decide life and death.

"You are not worthy to duel with me, and he has an obligation to protect me."

"You really think he's bewitched by you?"

"See if he will protect me if I'm really in danger!"

"He won't protect you, he will only protect me!"

The two women's words overlapped, their speed and tone becoming more and more intense, not even waiting for the other to finish speaking, as if trying to drown out the other's voice!

This quarreling situation was several times more violent than when they could communicate one sentence at a time.

Finally, they both looked at Ranch, who had been silent for half a day, their angry eyes questioning who he would help.

He couldn't get away with this question in any way.

Cat Boss realized that the dead end had finally arrived.
