Listening to Pip Finch’s ramblings, Raina North sighed heavily: "Did you make hundreds of calls to me in the past few days just to talk about this gossip everyone already knows?"
Pip Finch was stunned: "Everyone knows, huh, Orion?"
Of course, they knew, because she was that lady.
Thinking about what happened that day, Raina felt a bit annoyed and impatiently said, "I’ll talk about it when I get back. If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up."
Pip Finch quickly said, "Wait, there’s big news! The Lord of the Dark Tower suddenly went mad and took a bunch of people to surround the Hades Clan Headquarters. It seems war might break out. Orion, let’s take people over there, there might be some spoils to collect... Hey, Orion! Orion!"
Pip Finch shouted for a while before realizing Raina had hung up.
Raina hurriedly put on her shoes and dashed out.
Just as she arrived, she heard Elias Hawthorne speak.
She almost spat out blood.
Raina walked briskly over and angrily shouted at Elias Hawthorne: "What nonsense are you spouting? When did we ever have a thing?"
Elias Hawthorne turned his head to see Raina approaching, the coldness in his eyes faded somewhat, leaving only a blazing brilliance.
When he heard Raina deny any relationship with him, his expression tightened, and his gaze sharpened, teeth clenching: "Orion Rivers, are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
"I... responsible for what?" Raina felt wronged. Her alias Orion Rivers had nothing to do with Elias Hawthorne, okay?
Moreover, both their identities were male. Although she never discriminated against any genuine feelings, she didn’t want to become a topic of idle gossip, okay?
"That’s not what you said when you snuck into The Dark Tower that day. Orion Rivers, you can’t just walk away after spending a night together."
Corvus Hades’ expression gradually turned cold, his face clouded with impending storm: "Orion Rivers, you snuck into The Dark Tower at night? And spent the night there?"
Raina clearly heard the sound of Corvus Hades grinding his teeth.
Raina was at a loss for words and felt trying to explain further would just make things worse.
More importantly, she didn’t need to explain anything to Corvus Hades, otherwise this lunatic might latch onto it and stir up even more trouble.
So Raina’s silence became an unspoken agreement in the eyes of everyone.
The people from The Dark Tower and the Hades Clan were fine.
The others, who had gathered to see if there were any spoils to pick up and overheard this gossip, were stunned.
"Oh... oh my god! Who would’ve thought Orion Rivers was so bold, actually winning over the Lord of the Dark Tower, and the most important thing is, he’s not planning to take responsibility."
"It’s not just the Lord of the Dark Tower. I think Emperor Hades has something special for the Alliance Leader Rivers too. If it weren’t for feelings, most people hearing such news about a friend being involved with someone of the same sex would just be surprised, not angry. Look, Emperor Hades is about to explode!"
"Being able to juggle two boats at the same time without sinking, and such powerful ones at that, the Alliance Leader Rivers will be my role model in the future!"
Having just arrived, Pip Finch could no longer hold back after hearing everyone’s discussion and immediately jumped out angrily: "What nonsense are you all talking about? When did our Orion ever juggle two boats? Don’t slander him!"
