Karum's question earned him another slap from the Pegasus Paladin, who then shouted at him, "How dare you spout such nonsense? His Excellency Saint Lord possesses the utmost integrity and is not for the likes of you to slander!"
"But Your Excellency, everything I've said is true—" Karum suddenly stopped speaking, and his whole body started to tremble. 'What did His Excellency just call Darren? Saint Lord? Darren is the Saint Lord of the Temple of Light?'
The Pegasus Paladin remained expressionless when he saw Karum's expression. "Let me tell you something—His Excellency Darren is the Temple of Light's Saint Lord. His position is equal to the Goddess of Light, so why would a noble person like him collude with the Blood Hand Organization? Have you ever thought about the consequences for slandering His Excellency Saint Lord?" he asked coldly.
Everyone was dumbfounded. They never expected Darryl to be the Temple of Light's Saint Lord. Karum was utterly struck dumb. He thought Darryl was nothing but an opportunistic lowlife who got lucky with the Blood Hand Organization. He would never guess that Darryl was the Temple of Light's Saint Lord.
Even the cold Charlene, who was standing behind him, was struck dumb. She felt her legs turning into jelly and instinctively took a few steps backward. A few days ago, after the Holy Light Ceremony in Pearl City, she heard the news that the Temple of Light had welcomed a new Saint Lord. Furthermore, the Saint Lord had appeared at the Damien family banquet and caused a sensation there.
At that time, she thought she might have the opportunity to send someone to the Damien family to inquire about it. She was hoping to meet the Saint Lord. It never crossed her mind that the person standing on the stone pillar was the Saint Lord.
Silence descended upon every corner of the teleportation array. Many people were shocked. They could see the 12 majestic paladins standing there with a look of respect toward Darryl.
"I'll leave it to you to decide on his punishment," Darryl said impassively. He wished for nothing more than to end Karum's life with his own hand. If it were not for Karum, he would not have been attacked by so many people, and the Blood Hand Organization would not have lost so many lives.
However, he had used too much of his internal energy and could not even lift a pinky at that moment. The Pegasus Paladin instantly understood what he wanted. He nodded and said, "As you wish, Your Excellency."
As soon as he had said that, the Pegasus Paladin's saint energy exploded and immediately brought his sword down on Karum, who was instantly engulfed in an eye-piercing bright light.
