After Raina North led a group into the manor, the big shots were shocked, and the same thought involuntarily popped into their minds.
This Orion Rivers must be crazy, daring to actually attend this meeting jointly hosted by the seven major powers. Doesn’t he know this meeting is for discussing a crusade against the Celestial Alliance?
Raina North ignored them, raised her hand, and called to The Dark Tower members, "Take me to the rest room."
There are quite a few who are more senior than Raina North, with powers greater than the Celestial Alliance, yet all of them were waiting honestly in the rest area on the lawn, while Raina North dared to go to the rest room.
Ironically, Raina North’s attitude was so rightful, and the few cold-faced, impressive people she led behind her, no one felt anything was amiss.
The Dark Tower members didn’t dare to speak recklessly either; the companions who went to negotiate on behalf of The Dark Tower hadn’t returned yet, and he didn’t want to follow in their footsteps.
After arriving at the rest room, Raina North entered alone, while Pip Finch and Lune stood like guardians at the sides, preventing anyone from entering.
Even when the First Elder arrived and repeatedly expressed a desire to communicate with Raina North, he was blocked.
The First Elder was irritated, but had to endure it in front of the Celestial Alliance members. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by noveⅼfire.net
No matter how displeased he was, he didn’t dare act recklessly in front of everyone, fearing being accused of disrespecting the Alliance Leader, which would be detrimental to his current position.
The Third Elder observed the First Elder’s gloomy expression and suddenly thought of him as foolish.
If not foolish, then what? At such an old age, without an impressive heir, yet still coveting what shouldn’t be coveted, making himself miserable like a turtle.
Wouldn’t it be better to be a powerful elder who deals with disobedience?
The Third Elder thought of Raina North’s arrangements and couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the First Elder.
Half an hour later, members of The Dark Tower arrived.
The meeting was about to begin, and upon learning that the Celestial Alliance Leader had personally visited, the Lord of the Dark Tower decided to invite the Celestial Alliance to attend this meeting as well.
To others, the Lord of the Dark Tower’s move seemed magnanimous, but from the Celestial Alliance’s perspective, it felt like a banquet of betrayal.
Everyone’s bodies tensed and became alert, except the First Elder, who felt quite pleased inside.
He muttered to himself, "Go crazy, Orion Rivers, just go crazy. Hopefully, you’ll incite everyone and be killed on the spot."
With Orion Rivers’ demeanor, it’s a very likely occurrence.
The more the First Elder thought about it, the more excited he became, eagerly wishing Raina North would come out soon.
The Dark Tower member invited for a long time, but there was no response from inside the rest room, so reluctantly, he had to gather the courage to push the door open, only to find the room empty.
Raina North was not there.
The Dark Tower member was dumbfounded, "This... where is Alliance Leader Rivers?"
"Oh, my Orion had some personal matters to attend to, so he left for a bit."
"But... but the meeting is about to start."
"So what," Pip Finch said casually, "let them wait for a bit, won’t hurt."
Hearing this, the Dark Tower member almost burst into tears. Look, what kind of words are these, is this even human speech?
"This... really can’t work, all the big shots are here... if Alliance Leader Rivers isn’t present, I can’t account for it...how about..." The Dark Tower member plucked up the courage, "the Celestial Alliance doesn’t attend?"
"That’s not acceptable," Pip Finch immediately retorted, "Our Celestial Alliance people are already here, how can it be a wasted trip?"
