"Hmph!"
Although Reyes hadn't finished speaking, Humail couldn't help but let out a cold snort when he heard this. He said coldly to Reyes,
"Reyes, you and I have known each other for decades, and I'm very familiar with your style of doing things. Although you and I have a feud, you wouldn't go so far as to set up such a huge trap to deal with me just because of our feud. Speak! Why are you doing this! "
At this point, Humail seemed to have understood something. His eyes turned cold as he looked at the leisurely Reyes and then at Elena, who was sitting silently under the olive tree. He said deeply, "Reyes, or do you want to imitate what you did in Loen back then and create a huge change? Just like how you helped Edward become a bishop, you will also help Elena become the Pope and make her your puppet!"
After Humail said that, Elena, who had been puzzled by the incident in Loen back then, was instantly enlightened. Her expression changed slightly. Although Elena reacted this way, Reyes, who was the main character, remained indifferent. He shook his head slightly and said, "Humail, you're overthinking things. If you were the Pope, you might fall for such a scheme a second time.
"But unfortunately, the current Pope is that old man of yours. That old thing is very shrewd. With him around, how can I use the same trick again?
"But you're right. Although you and I have a feud, you've lost more than you've won. Why would I go to great lengths to set up such a huge trap for you just because of these feuds? Why must I kill you?" At this point, a strange smile appeared on Reyes's elegant face. He paused for a moment, then looked at Humail and said in a deep voice,
"Humail, now that things have come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm plotting for something on your body! This thing is as important to me as the position of Pope is to you. I have to get it no matter what! "
After hearing Reyes's words, Humail looked at him deeply. Then, he did something that Reyes and Elena didn't expect. He took out a very exquisite and beautiful jade token and said to Reyes, "Reyes, I don't know what you want from me, but this is my space jade token. All my things are here. As long as you're willing to leave and not participate in the internal affairs of the Church of the Storm, this jade token is yours!"
Elena was originally a little worried that Reyes wanted to use her to achieve his goal of controlling the Church of the Storm. But when she saw that Humail was willing to offer such humiliating conditions to persuade Reyes to leave, she instantly became nervous.
In Elena's view, although she had reached an agreement with Reyes, Reyes didn't seem to have a need to insist on the agreement with Humail under such generous conditions. After all, the two of them had temporarily joined forces because of benefits. They had no other ties apart from benefits. They were even mortal enemies not long ago. As long as the benefits were enough, Reyes could sell her to Humail!
According to the method proposed by Humail, Reyes basically didn't need to do anything to get what he wanted. If he refused, he would have to bear all the risks of fighting with Humail, and there was a possibility that he wouldn't be able to get anything. Therefore, it was self-evident what choice Reyes would make under such circumstances!
Thinking of that, Elena looked at Reyes worriedly. If Reyes really chose to go against Humail at this time, she would only have a dead end waiting for her.
Looking at Humail's jade token, Reyes fell into silence. A minute later, he shook his head with a wry smile under the gaze of Elena and Humail.
"Humail, you've really given me a big problem. If it wasn't you but someone else who proposed this deal to me today, I definitely wouldn't hesitate at all."
Humail's face changed when he sensed Reyes's refusal in his words. He put away the jade token in his hand. He had never expected that Reyes would be so ruthless when he had already swallowed his anger. At this moment, Reyes continued.
"Unfortunately, just like how you know me, I know you very well too!"
"Hummers, I'm very clear about your style of doing things. If I take away your jade tablet today and hand Elena over to you, although I won't have to worry about it for the time being, and it might seem like I've gained a lot of benefits, you will definitely hate me for the rest of your life!"
"And without Elena's restraint, you no longer have any competitors who can match you when you inherit the position of pope in the Church of Storms. Therefore, even if that old man of yours doesn't like you, he has no choice but to let you inherit the position for the development of the Church of Storms."
"The day you become the pope, I'm afraid that the Church of the Storm will do their best to hunt me down. Therefore, I'm sorry, but I, Reyes, am afraid of being hunted down by the Church of the Storm!" As soon as Reyes finished speaking, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and a spiritual storm rushed towards Humail.
Humail had fought Reyes several times over the past few decades, so he was very familiar with Reyes's methods. However, although he had been very careful this time to guard against Reyes's sneak attack, this time, Reyes's spiritual storm seemed to be exceptionally powerful. It directly penetrated Humail's defense and hit his body. Humail's dignified face couldn't help but show a trace of pain.
"Reyes, you've actually reached this step …" Looking at Reyes not far away, Humail gritted his teeth and spoke with a complicated tone.
Hearing Humail's sigh, a smile appeared on Reyes's refined face. He said indifferently, "Although I was heavily injured in the battle with that old bastard, thanks to him, I've also gained a lot of enlightenment. I'm only one step away from becoming a rank 3 Magus, and this step depends on you, Humail!"
Humail adjusted his state of mind and snorted coldly. He looked at Reyes, who had a calm expression, and said in a deep voice, "Reyes, although you're very strong, if I'm not mistaken, your injuries haven't healed yet. Are you that confident that you can keep me here?"
