Lune showed a hint of interest, "Speak."
Pip Finch shook his leg, "Beg me, and I’ll tell you."
The cockiness on his face couldn’t be described with just "arrogant," could it?
Lune wasn’t angry, she just flashed the Crescent Blade in her hand.
Pip Finch’s cocky expression froze instantly, but inwardly, he was filled with indignation.
Isn’t this just bullying with combat power, huh? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
If Lune could hear Pip Finch’s inner thoughts, she would definitely confirm it, "Indeed."
After swearing internally to learn martial arts from Great Master Drake, Pip Finch leaned closer to Lune’s ear, "Let me tell you, this morning I called Orion, and only then did I realize he’s even more awesome than we thought. Not only did he totally crush Nameless, but he also..."
Pip Finch was getting into it when he suddenly heard the greeting voices at the door.
Seeing the familiar figure in casual attire walk in, Pip Finch froze on the spot, quite startled. He jumped up from the sofa, creating some distance between him and Lune, and declared righteously, "Lune, I’m telling you, you can forget about it! I absolutely will not reveal Orion’s secret, even if you beat me to a pulp. Don’t think you can make me betray Orion! I’d rather die than yield!"
Lune looked speechless.
Pip Finch acted as if he couldn’t see her. With an expression that suggested he saw Raina North, he ecstatically rushed over, "Orion, Orion, you finally came back. In the one day and night you were away from the alliance, I really missed you to death."
"Really?" Raina North gave Pip Finch a glance, "Are you sure you missed me to death, and not just wanted to die?"
Pip Finch’s expression stiffened, and he laughed awkwardly, "How could that be? Life is so beautiful, and with Orion, how could I bear to die? Come, come, Orion, sit here."
Pip Finch bowed and scraped as he led Raina North to a nearby sofa and brought over a cup of tea, placing it in front of her, "Orion, have some tea."
Lune watched Pip Finch buttering up to Raina North and felt utterly speechless. He couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and instead started carefully maintaining her Crescent Blade.
Pip Finch hovered around Raina North attentively, "Orion, did you have breakfast before coming back so early? I’ll have the kitchen send some over for you. Oh, and fruit too. These apples just arrived from the logistics department, really sweet, Orion, have a taste."
Raina North looked at the apple in her hand and glanced at Pip Finch, "So, what trouble did you get into this time?" Pip Finch was immediately upset, "Orion, what do you mean? I’m so well-behaved, how could I get into trouble? Even if trouble were to occur, it must have been Lune who caused it. Lune, isn’t that right?"
Lune didn’t hesitate and flashed her blade.
Pip Finch immediately hid behind Raina North, whining, "Orion, did you see? Lune is always intimidating me."
"Didn’t see anything,"
"Orion!" Pip Finch whimpered pitifully, "You only care about Lune, not me anymore."
Raina North glanced at Pip Finch, "Earlier, I heard you were about to reveal a secret to Lune. I’m also quite interested. Care to share?"
"No, no, Orion, you must’ve heard wrong."
"Didn’t hear wrong." Lune suddenly spoke up, "Just now, Pip Finch was about to share the secret between you and the Lord of the Dark Tower."
Raina North’s face darkened, "Pip Finch!"
Pip Finch instantly reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Lune, don’t talk nonsense in front of Orion!"
He hurriedly assured, "Orion, no, seriously, no. I wasn’t planning to say anything. You can ask Lune if he knows about that thing."
