Raina North watched as Elder Kane from The Jacobs Family ignored his status and charged at her, her pretty face immediately turned cold, her eyes flashing with a frosty glint.
This old pervert with the last name Kane was truly overstepping!
The others also felt that Elder Kane was going too far. As the leader, behaving in such a manner was disgraceful, yet no one wanted to interfere.
Moreover, in the eyes of the high-ranking onlookers, she was merely a small waitress, and being noticed by the Family Head was already a fortune. For original chapters go to noⅴelfire.net
As for her own willingness, who would care?
Raina North’s body tensed slightly; even if taking action would reveal her identity, she couldn’t care less now. She had to teach this old man a lesson!
Just as she was about to make a move, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
With a swift motion, he drew out the Crescent Blade and slashed at the Family Head.
The Family Head did not expect Lune to suddenly make a move. Even though he dodged in time, the blade’s energy cut off a lock of his hair.
Touching his cool, bare head, the Family Head’s expression turned even more unpleasant: "It seems that The Celestial Alliance insists on meddling!"
Lune hadn’t spoken yet when Pip Finch charged forward furiously: "Lune, what are you doing? Who’s the lady interested in? Who gave you the right to snatch my chance to be a hero?"
Pushing Lune aside, he ran to stand in front of Raina North.
He rubbed his hands sheepishly, looking every bit the shy boy: "Hello, Miss, I’m Pip Finch, Finch of Pip Finch, Pip of Pip Finch, Finch of Pip Finch. I... I’m glad to see you. Are you secretly in love with me?"
Raina North couldn’t help but nearly collapse with laughter at Pip Finch’s words and, lifting her gaze, saw the excitement in Pip Finch’s eyes.
She was speechless. Just as she was about to say something, the Family Head couldn’t hold back: "Pip Finch, get over here. This is the woman I’ve set my sights on! If you know what’s good for you, step aside!"
Pip Finch would not yield; he shouted louder than the Family Head: "I’m the man Miss set her sights on. If you know what’s good for you, step aside!"
It was almost the exact same words, yet more arrogant than those of the Family Head.
The Family Head was livid with rage.
Pip Finch paid no mind to the anger, lifting his chin: "What’s this? Want to spar with me?" He beckoned to the Family Head with a hand gesture: "Come on, bring it."
Pip Finch’s demeanor was not only hurtful but highly insulting; no one had dared to speak to the Family Head this way before.
The leaders of other factions looked at Pip Finch as though they were watching a madman.
Pip Finch must be insane, surely.
No, it must be Orion Rivers, otherwise, how could he let such a troublemaker out to cause chaos? Look at this mess; in such a short time, not only did he completely fall out with The Dark Tower, but now he’s turning to provoke The Jacobs Family. Is he not afraid of a swift death?
Someone couldn’t help but scoff: "The ancients said, ’To surpass oneself, one must first go mad.’ Look, how mad is The Celestial Alliance now?"
"Madness is great, how else could we enjoy the spectacle? I have to say, I am very much looking forward to seeing how The Celestial Alliance meets their end."
Pip Finch, worried those people might scare Raina North, hurriedly reassured her: "Miss, don’t be afraid, Lune and I will definitely protect you."
Raina North paused, her expression suddenly turning very comforting.
That child she once saved and brought back to The Celestial Alliance had indeed grown up, now able to stand before her and promise to protect her.
Only, she was still not used to being protected by others, especially by Pip Finch, who had always seemed like a child in her eyes.
She stepped out from behind Pip Finch and stood by his side: "I’m in too."
