691 Refusing to join the Council

"No," Michael outright rejected the old man's offer. His words startled everyone, including the old man. The immortal creased his brows. He wondered whether the young man heard him right or not. 

"If I join the council, will you let me destroy Thusia?" Michael questioned the old man. His words were loud enough for everyone to hear. 

As expected, the old man shook his head.

"As a Half Immortal, you cannot meddle in any mortal affairs. You have to let go of your hatred. You cannot achieve immortality with it," 

Michael snickered.

"My hatred toward Thusia knows no bounds. I don't want or need the council. I appreciate the offer, but I am not going to join," Michael said. He was nonchalant. 

"Think about it once again. This will be the first and last time you will get an offer to join the council. If you reject it, you won't get it forever,"

"Okay," Michael rubbed his chin.
