Chapter 820

"What's going on here? I thought I'd be hit with the sweet shock of a reunited couple, but instead I stumbled into a wife-murder scene!"

Evenson strolled in slowly. After looking over the scene, he appeared quite surprised, but there was undisguised delight in his tone. And he believed he was certainly not the only one who felt that way. Especially on this particular day, a husband and wife turning on each other was bound to make plenty of people feel immensely satisfied!

"Th... what exactly happened?" Kaecilius held Milia's already cold corpse in his arms. To see his beloved wife again, he had not hesitated to betray the entire world. Yet when they finally met again, it had become another parting between life and death—and he had killed her himself!

Why had this happened? Kaecilius sat collapsed on the ground, his mind already in utter chaos. Even if someone wanted to stab him to death right now, he likely would not resist in the slightest.

"Was this the trial you arranged? You arranged this, didn't you?" Kaecilius blankly raised his head. He suddenly understood why the New York Sanctum's sorcerers had not fought him, why Klayya and Evenson had ignored him entirely, even helping him reach the Sanctum's core.

They had done it so that he would kill Milia with his own hands!

"That's right." Evenson openly admitted it with a wicked smile. "I arranged all of it. Though I put in quite a bit of effort too. I had to dig up a corpse from frozen ground more than six thousand meters above sea level. You have no idea how difficult that was. My arms are still a little sore."

"You... how could you... Milia has been dead for a long time." Kaecilius's mind was a complete mess.
