"Seeing Orion strut like that, I completely forgot."
"Forgot?" Raina North chuckled softly and crooked her finger at Pip Finch, "Pip Finch, come here."
Pip Finch sensed a strong killing intent, and while chuckling, he backed away, "No thanks, Orion’s had a hard night, best to let him rest, I’ll head out to fight first."
With that, he dashed out like a whirlwind.
"That guy!" Raina North couldn’t help but snort angrily.
Thinking of Pip Finch’s words just now, Raina immediately called Lune to ask about the situation.
"Yesterday, the First Elder personally took me to deal with the rebellious noble families, but secretly had trusted confidants lead a large group of experts to ambush The Dark Tower’s people."
Lune explained in great detail, but the content was mostly similar to what Pip Finch said. He said with great remorse, "Orion, I’m so foolish that I couldn’t stop the First Elder."
Raina comforted, "Since the First Elder is determined to drag The Celestial Alliance to its demise, it wouldn’t have made any difference even if you guarded him every step of the way."
Just after hanging up the phone, her office door slammed open.
Raina North’s eyes were sharp as she looked at the group of uninvited guests, speaking coldly, "It seems the First Elder forgot to knock before entering." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by n0velfire.net
"Oh dear, Alliance Hierarch, my apologies. I was just so excited that I didn’t notice these details. If the Alliance Hierarch insists on dwelling on these details, then I can only accept the punishment."
"Since the First Elder is willing to accept the punishment, that’s good."
The First Elder’s expression stiffened slightly.
Suddenly, Raina laughed, "Just joking, lightening the mood a bit. How could I quibble over such minor matters with the First Elder? The First Elder is a great contributor to our Celestial Alliance."
"I knew the Alliance Hierarch wouldn’t be so petty, just cracking a joke. Haha... But as for the term ’great contributor,’ I do deserve it. Presumably, the Alliance Hierarch has already heard, right? This time, we not only seized The Dark Tower’s goods but also took over their territory. If this matter spreads, our Celestial Alliance’s momentum will undoubtedly skyrocket, and the brothers are very excited about these news pieces."
The First Elder moved a bit closer to Raina North, "Why doesn’t the Alliance Hierarch have a smile on her face, is she unhappy?"
That last sentence from the First Elder reeked of endless malice.
"Of course... happy." Raina gritted her teeth quietly.
Ordinary members see The Celestial Alliance’s strong stance and naturally feel jubilant, but they don’t realize that offending such a powerful force for no cause is not a good thing.
Fortunately, though The Celestial Alliance’s power isn’t what it used to be, there are still plenty of experts. If it comes to a bloody battle, it’s not as if they lack the power to fight.
Raina seriously pondered how to arrange the next steps.
At this moment, the First Elder spoke again, "I knew the Alliance Hierarch was very happy. To be honest with the Alliance Hierarch, knowing our people are so tenacious makes me happy too. At this rate, we’ll soon revive The Celestial Alliance’s banner. Aside from The Dark Tower, our people have already gone to The Hades Clan, who’ve had the upper hand for years, and haven’t spared us from exploitation—we must get some payback. And of course, several other noble families too. Based on the timing, they should all be back by now."
The First Elder listed a few other families and forces, all top tiers in The Umbral Zone.
With all this provocation, it was a show no less than The Six Great Sects besieging The Radiant Peak.
The First Elder saw Raina North glaring at him and felt a jolt in his heart, "What’s the matter with the Alliance Hierarch? Why isn’t she saying anything, is she so happy she’s speechless?"
"That’s right, I’m very happy." Raina almost spat these words through gritted teeth.
This old fellow was going to drag The Celestial Alliance to oblivion!
