Just thinking about that girl he keeps in his heart, Quinn Thorne feels a rush of heat inside.
Elias Hawthorne returned to the villa, took a shower, and changed several outfits in a row.
Just as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder; he wanted to present his most perfect self.
But, he was dissatisfied with all these clothes.
Elias Hawthorne furrowed his brow and called over the head steward of The Dark Tower to reprimand him: "What kind of work are you doing? Why haven’t you updated the wardrobe with new clothes sooner?"
The head steward felt more wronged than Dolores and hurriedly explained, "Lord, these clothes were custom designs delivered just last week."
Elias Hawthorne furrowed his brow, showing disdain, but ordering new clothes now would apparently be too late.
Elias Hawthorne could only reluctantly choose an outfit from what was available and put it on.
Elias Hawthorne fastened his cuffs and glanced at the dumbfounded head steward: "How do I look?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⁂fire.net
The head steward was utterly perplexed: "What?"
Elias Hawthorne was even more disdainful: "Me."
Only then did the head steward understand and gave a thumbs up: "So handsome it shakes the heavens."
The head steward’s words were entirely sincere; their tower lord was naturally handsome beyond measure, and after carefully coordinating this outfit, he was dazzlingly radiant.
Elias Hawthorne’s expression softened slightly, and he raised his wrist to check the time; Raina should be back soon.
After walking out of the wardrobe and instructing the head steward to have the kitchen prepare dinner, Quinn Thorne rushed in.
"Boss, it’s bad. Sis-in-law has disappeared; she hasn’t returned to The Celestial Alliance."
Elias Hawthorne sprang up: "What did you say?"
"I said Sis-in-law hasn’t come back."
Quinn Thorne hurriedly recounted the story.
Just now, after he took people to The Celestial Alliance, Pip Finch and Lune warmly hosted him, since The Dark Tower had just bestowed such a big favor upon them; how could they not be enthusiastic?
The Third Elder immediately stated that they would send back the detained Dark Tower Envoy at once.
"I’m here to escort Sis... Alliance Leader Rivers to The Dark Tower to meet with the tower lord. My master said we hope to strengthen cooperation with The Celestial Alliance and become brotherly allies."
This news was so shocking that it was hardly believable, right?
The Third Elder was delighted, gesturing with excitement: "Quick, quick, have someone invite the Alliance Hierarch."
Pip Finch ushered with hospitality: "Come, come, Vermilion Lord, let’s sit down and chat."
Lune was also accompanying on the side.
The Third Elder was very pleased, showing that these two children weren’t just mindlessly relying on force; look, weren’t they doing diplomacy well? If the Alliance Hierarch found out, surely he’d be very pleased.
The person sent to invite the Alliance Hierarch quickly returned with the news: "The Alliance Hierarch is not at The Celestial Alliance."
Quinn Thorne was shocked: "Not at The Celestial Alliance?" Watching Lune and the others on the side, he said: "Can you get in touch with Alliance Leader Rivers? My master indeed has important matters to discuss, and it’s of great significance."
Seeing Quinn Thorne speaking with gravity, they dared not neglect and immediately called Raina North, but the call didn’t go through.
The Third Elder was immensely disappointed: "Our Alliance Hierarch is just like that, inherently carefree and unrestrained; maybe he’s gone somewhere to relax, but he’ll be back soon. Vermilion Lord, I hope you can negotiate a bit with the tower lord."
The Third Elder was worried The Dark Tower would abandon cooperation with The Celestial Alliance, showering compliments as if they cost nothing.
Quinn Thorne responded perfunctorily, and after leaving The Celestial Alliance, hurriedly returned.
Elias Hawthorne listened to Quinn Thorne’s report, and his face darkened.
Quinn Thorne immediately said: "Boss, don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for people at The Celestial Alliance; as soon as Sis-in-law returns, we’ll be notified right away."
