Pip Finch furrowed his brows, looking very serious.
Seeing Pip Finch’s cautious expression, Raina North couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong? Did I overlook something?"
"Yes." Pip Finch became even more solemn: "There is a particularly important matter, Orion, that you haven’t noticed yet."
Raina North straightened up, asking urgently, "What is it?"
"It’s just..." Pip Finch noticed Raina North’s growing interest and continued, "You actually trust the Lord of the Dark Tower, Orion, you’re bound to regret this." He sighed deeply: "Ever since that meeting, the Lord of the Dark Tower has been entering our Celestial Alliance and making himself at home. It’s clear, Orion, that you’re treating him differently. After all, none of the previous ten, including Emperor Hades, nor even Lauren Larson, managed a sleepover in your room.
But, I always thought my Orion would still be my Orion, the man with a love bigger than the ocean. Never imagined I was wrong. The Lord of the Dark Tower is indeed formidable. In just these few days, not only have you opened your heart to him, but truly trust him. Truly worthy of being called the Lord of the Dark Tower, impressive indeed."
Raina North thought perhaps her brain got kicked by a donkey, to believe anything wise could come from Pip Finch’s mouth. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel·fire·net
Upon hearing Raina North’s criticism, Pip Finch got very annoyed, snorted, and said, "If a dog’s mouth could spit out ivory, then it wouldn’t be a dog, right? It’s a skill not even the celestial dog possesses, right? Orion, you’re asking too much of a dog."
Raina North felt a vein throbbing at her temple, pointed to the office door: "Get out, swiftly get out for me."
"I..." Pip Finch saw Raina North’s eyes filled with killing intent, immediately surrendered: "I’m going, I’ll roll out now."
Pip Finch rushed out of the office, but quickly peeked his head back through the door: "By the way, Orion, Emperor Hades also sent someone to the Celestial Alliance to meet you. Do you want to see them?" "Corvus Hades?" Raina North’s nerves suddenly tensed: "Who did he send? When did they arrive?" "The person Emperor Hades sent is our old acquaintance, Wraith. You went out briefly this morning, and Wraith arrived during that time, even met with the Lord of the Dark Tower."
"..." Raina North said, "So they’ve been waiting a whole day?"
"Yes." Pip Finch hurriedly replied: "Don’t worry, Orion, our Celestial Alliance is providing meals."
Was she worried about that?
Since things have already happened, there’s no point in saying anything else. Raina North can only instruct Pip Finch to quickly bring the person over.
Upon seeing Wraith, Raina North immediately apologized.
Wraith didn’t mind: "Alliance Leader Rivers, no need to be so courteous. The hospitality at the Celestial Alliance is wonderful, I’m very happy here." After a pause, he added: "It’s just that Emperor Hades’ wait was long, his mood might be a bit off. Could I trouble Alliance Leader Rivers to visit the Hades Clan when you find the time? I think once Emperor Hades sees you, he won’t be upset."
"Sure, sure." Raina North agreed readily, but actually had no plans to go. She wasn’t crazy enough to deliver herself to their doorstep.
Wraith seemed oblivious to Raina North’s perfunctory manner, still smiling broadly: "It’d be best if Alliance Leader Rivers could take the trouble to visit, otherwise Emperor Hades might come in person. Though, you surely know, my family’s Emperor Hades has a rather bad temper. But we’ve known each other for years, and you, with your broad-mindedness, surely won’t hold it against my family’s Emperor Hades."
Raina North suspected she was being threatened, yet had no evidence.
She laughed awkwardly: "Of course, you don’t need to worry." Quickly changing the topic: "Wraith, what brings you here today?"
