Even so, he was quite satisfied with Marcus to the extent that he thought this young man could be considered a true genius. Whereas in the Middle Phase of the Giant Realm, Marcus could defeat one in the Late Phase. Hanson was a strong man, and he had also been a genius. Before he was 30 years old, he had already reached the Late Phase of the Giant Realm Peak. However, there were geniuses stronger than him in the world.
"Young Master, the great deacon is about to arrive.
There won't be much time left." After Antony leaves, Conner follows him after leaving a message.
Only Marcus and Kristen were in the main hall. This was the first time they had met each other since they had been separated for so many years. The little girl back then had grown into a graceful and beautiful young lady. The 'new' Christian is gentle, elegant, and beautiful. Also, the boy who wielded a sword and pretended to be an adult had grown up to become a legendary hero.
There was complete silence in the hall.
Marcus and Kristen remained silent, looking at each other. The promise they made when they were young was entirely a joke. No one will take it seriously. At this moment, the two of them were reminiscing about their childhood.
A few years ago, Marcus, who was about six or seven years old, played with Kristen, a year or two younger than him, in the Basford family area. It's in this hall.
That day when there was no one in the hall, little Marcus brought the little Christian in this hall. But when they entered the hall, the little Christian suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. He broke his kneecap and cried.
"Christ, it's okay. I'll take care of it. Little Marcus leaned over, gently blowing his wound to relieve his pain, and then he hurriedly applied medical ointment to his wound. After that, he also made facial expressions to comfort Christians.
"yeah! Doesn't hurt anymore. Marcus, let's go and have some fun. But you have to run slower because I'm 'disfigured' now," Little Kristen said.
Little Marcus thought for a moment and said, "Christian, get on my back. Do you want me to carry you?"
Christian agreed with pleasure
Little Marcus helped little Kristen up to her back and walked towards the play area in the valley outside the Basford family territory. The valley is as beautiful as a landscape image, where trees, flowers, and creeks fill the scene.
Christian's little leg was injured, so he had to lie on the boy's back. No matter how tired he was, little Marcus was unwilling to take it down, even sweat dripping from his face.
But back then, little Marcus didn't know the girls
always mature faster than boys. Little Kristen has decided to choose little Marcus as her future husband.
He's leaning on his back. "Marcus, you're very kind. I'll marry you when I grow up."
Marcus awkwardly asked, "What is 'married'?"
Little Kristen, lying on her back, giggling, "Married means I'm wearing a nice dress and being your wife. And then we can stay together forever. My mother told me that a husband can only be nice to his wife."
Little marcus nodded. "Oh, so it's 'married'. Kristen, you're beautiful. When you grow up, you will definitely become a beautiful woman."
Little Kristen blushed and tightened her face against Marcus' back. Then, he ventured to ask, "Then ... Marcus, will you marry me? Are you just gonna be nice to me in this life?"
Little Marcus nodded loudly. "of course I will"
The little Christian gently embraced her neck and kissed her face. "Then Marcus, a deal is a deal. When I grow up, I'll be your wife. I will work hard to be a woman as good as my mother. I promise!"
The scene a decade ago, in which two children made a pinkie promise, was a secret between them.
It was a bright day. Under the golden sunset, in the forest, and by the river, they made promises. It was a secret between them and buried deep within their hearts.
The hall remained silent.
In the last ten years, Marcus has been with Conner. In these years, Christianity grew as a woman. She strives to become a great woman by practicing her harp, chess, calligraphy, painting, and even combat effectiveness. In addition, Kristen learned how to dress up because Marcus would return one day. When he comes back, he wants to show the best in him.
So did Marcus. After separating from Christian, Marcus desperately develops his fighting skills and travels around Hunga with Conner. Five years ago, he separated from Conner's protection and went to the Outer Region Battlefield alone. He secretly fulfilled his promise to Christian.
Time keeps going. When Marcus reached the Giant Realm, he returned home. He appeared in front of Christianity as a hero in the Middle Phase of the Giant Realm.
They still didn't say anything.
At this moment, so many thoughts swirled in their minds. There was a lot they wanted to say, but when they were in the hall, they did not know where to start.
Marcus took a deep breath and smiled at Kristen.
"So.last.. How you been all this time?
Well.'sorry. I've been in the Outer Territory Battlefield for years and..."
"Marcus, is our deal still working?" Before Marcus could finish his sentence, Kristen had cut him off. At this moment, there were tears in his eyes.
Marcus stunned. After a long time, his eyes were also filled with tears. He looked at Kristen. "Of course, I'll never forget it. How's yours?"
Instantly, Kristen laughed out loud and looked at the clumsy Marcus in front of her. Tears quietly welled up in his eyes. He looked at her long enough. "Marcus, I've been waiting for you, and I'm a woman now."
"Your little Christian didn't break his promise all along. She's been a very, very great woman."
Kristen held her hand, and said while thinking, "Will you marry me?"
Marcus nodded loudly, then he firmly pulled Kristen into his arms. She hugged him tightly and whispered, "I will, and I will take care of you for the rest of my life ..."
Kristen nodded. "I believe in you. I know you can do this. I trust...
But the next moment, Conner appeared at the gate of the hall. He said to the young master after hesitating for a moment, "Young Master, the great deacon has arrived. They waited outside the valley. It's time to go."
Marcus stunned. He forgot that he had to leave.
He can't stay long this time. His friends, Leon, Albert, Carlos, and three thousand Pantheon soldiers, fought a bloody battle out there. He should go back. If the Warrior Sect members did not make trouble for Tyler, he would not return this time.
"I'm sorry" Marcus whispered to Kristen, feeling very sad.
