Chapter 1783


    After that, Cornelius Kroe made an invitational gesture. He then led X Quest and Stanley Batton to the nearby table and chairs before sitting down...


    Once he''d sat down, he nced at the young monk who had yet to leave. "rence... You may leave us..."


    The monk bowed respectfully to Cornelius before leaving and closing the door behind him.


    The temple itself was already hushed.


    After the door was closed, the silence was even more deafening...


    Sitting here made X Quest feel much calmer.


    There was incense burning on the table.


    The light fragrance made one feel at ease.


    "Chief... I''m Stanley Batton, the man who made an appointment with you. I previously asked my assistant, Zack Cassidy, to contact you..." Stanley said respectfully.


    Although Stanley was respectful, his cold mannerism never left him...


    Anyone''s aura would pale inparison to Stanley.


    They''d appear inferior to him.


    Cornelius took a deep look at the two of them...


    After that, he slowly closed his eyes.


    "I''ll have to tell you about what happened to us in detail..." X said.


    Right after X finished speaking, Cornelius lifted his hand and gestured for X to remain silent...


    X stayed quiet.


    Approximately ten minutester, Cornelius slowly ced his hands on the back of X and Stanley''s hands.


    He then closed his eyes again.


    Two secondster, his facial expression changed drastically.


    His initially calm expression was reced by deep confusion and fear.


    In the next second, he quickly pulled his hand away. He then fixed his gaze upon their faces...


    "You don''t have to exin. I know

    X and Stanley were both stunned to hear this.


    In the next second, the two of them simultaneously exchanged nces.


    X was shocked...


    From how Stanley and Cornelius behaved, Zack didn''t seem to have told Cornelius anything yet...


    However, despite that, Cornelius easily found out what happened by only touching their hands.


    This was way too mysterious.


    X knew this person was definitely much stronger than she''d imagined.


    At this moment, X felt that Cornelius would undoubtedly be able to help her and Stanley.


    Suddenly, she felt a great sense of hope in her heart.


    "How did you know?" X asked.


    "I just know... If you want to resolve this matter, please leave..." Cornelius had an unreadable facial expression.


    "Why?" X asked earnestly.


    "That''s because I can''t help you," Cornelius said.


    With that, Cornelius'' facial expression turned even more serious.


    “Everything has been set in stone... Some things can be changed, while others cannot...


    "I can''t change everything that''s destined for the two of you...


    "Let fate unfold... Let fate unfold..." Cornelius added.


    His words instantly destroyed all hope in X''s heart.


    Suddenly, X felt gloomy as she had before.


    "Some knots can be undone, but others can''t... Your past deeds have been too adverse for any undoing... You''t have to bear the


    consequences..." Cornelius said.


    After saying that, he stood up. “Please leave. I need to continue my training..."


    Stanley''s frown deepened. He slowly


    fixed his gaze upon Cornelius'' face.
