Corvus Hades let out a cold laugh, his eyes full of malice: "Orion Rivers, you really dare."
"Not too daring, just doing what I can."
Corvus shot up from the sofa.
Raina North quickly called out to stop him: "Wait a second, don’t go just yet."
Corvus’s expression was icy: "It’s too late to beg for mercy now."
"You misunderstood, I meant to say, at least take me out of The Dark Tower; what if Dante Drake comes back? That guy never plays fair, always one against many."
At that moment, Corvus’s expression was indescribably grim.
Raina pretended not to notice, striding up to Corvus and urging as she saw him hesitate: "Let’s go, the sooner we’re back, the sooner we can rest."
Blending in with Corvus’s group, Raina easily left the auction house. Just as they stepped out, they were met by a group of black-clad guards.
They were escorting a black-clad man in a wheelchair away.
Instinctively, Raina’s gaze drifted over, and when she saw the man protected in the center, she almost shouted out that name...
But ultimately did not.
Because she had just met this man and knew his identity.
Lord of the Dark Tower.
Moreover, she knew Elias would never come.
Yet, no matter how clearly she knew this, seeing that man’s back once more made her think of him.
Corvus sharply noticed Raina’s distraction and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Raina quickly snapped back to reality, suppressing all her emotions, and said with a calm smile: "Of course I’m thinking about the Lord of the Dark Tower; he’s the new favorite after all, quite a rising star. You should understand that."
For a split second, a bloodthirsty glint flashed in Corvus’s eyes, making Raina truly think he might tear her apart.
Who knew he wouldn’t.
He merely gave her a chilling, frightening smile, then opened the car door and got in.
Wraith, witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but give Raina a thumbs-up, his admiration for her endless.
To dare provoke his Emperor Hades and still come out unscathed, Orion Rivers of The Celestial Alliance was the first.
After Corvus and his followers had left, Raina finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
It only then dawned on her that she hadn’t come to the auction house alone.
Just as she was about to make a call to summon those three, she heard someone calling her: "Alliance Hierarch, Alliance Hierarch."
Turning her head, Raina saw Jonah Rivers, Lune, and the Third Elder hiding in a corner.
Raina walked over, puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing here? Is the auction venue now a free-for-all?"
If she hadn’t followed Corvus out earlier, she might still be stuck inside.
"Of course not, once we sensed something was off, we immediately stormed out. Alliance Hierarch, don’t you think I’m clever?"
Seeing the Third Elder eagerly waiting for praise, Raina smiled and nodded: "Not bad."
Then, her expression suddenly darkened as she raised her hand to smack the Third Elder on the head: "Not bad, my foot! How is this any different from leaving three hundred taels of silver here? Doesn’t this just plainly tell The Dark Tower we have a problem?"
"Oh, right." The Third Elder finally realized: "I forgot. How about I go back inside now? I promise not to get caught this time."
Raina: "... You’d better behave yourself!"
Jonah Rivers’s gaze lingered on Raina, asking: "Did you get the Revitalizing Pill?" Find the newest release on NoveI~Fire.net
