Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Got Screwed Again (2)
The high-ranking official who spoke immediately broke into a sweat, saying repeatedly, "I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I’m just worried about the situation of the Celestial Alliance and certainly didn’t mean to criticize the Alliance Hierarch. Please don’t misunderstand."
Raina North snorted coldly, ignoring him further. She tapped her fingers on the surface of the desk and instructed, "Organize the Celestial Alliance’s situation into a document and submit it to me, along with information on those forces provoking the Celestial Alliance and the rebellious family divisions."
Everyone was overjoyed, "Is the Alliance Hierarch planning to settle accounts with those traitors and hostile forces?"
Raina lightly said, "The Celestial Alliance is not a soft persimmon that anyone can easily squeeze."
Hearing Raina’s words, everyone became excited and discussed other matters enthusiastically before leaving, uplifted.
Lune promptly pulled out his Crescent Blade and polished it eagerly. He asked eagerly, "Orion, should we quietly kill them tonight or grandly attack them tomorrow?"
"Neither. We’ll discuss these matters later."
Lune was slightly puzzled, "Why?"
Raina replied, "I need to go out for a while."
Lune sprang up, "I’m going too."
Raina looked at Lune’s clingy demeanor, feeling a bit of a headache but had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Only then did Lune’s expression become pleasant.
Raina smiled helplessly, then disregarded him and instead began to seriously think about the auction tomorrow.
The Dark Tower has never been an easy entity to deal with, especially with the Lord of the Dark Tower guarding it; it’s a tough nut to crack.
She must come up with a way. Otherwise, if she truly gets herself trapped, it would be a huge disgrace.
...
The Dark Tower Headquarters.
Dante Drake saw Elias Hawthorne entering and immediately stood to salute, "Lord."
Elias stepped to the foremost seat and turned to Dante, "Any news of the lady?"
Dante felt chills down his spine. This was the most terrifying question in the world. If possible, he would rather fight those reckless individuals from the Celestial Alliance for three days and nights than answer this question.
Unfortunately, heaven doesn’t offer choices.
He couldn’t escape and under Elias’ gaze, he reluctantly said, "Not yet."
Elias remained silent, but the temperature in the hall dropped by more than ten degrees, cold winds gusting as if the Demon God had descended.
"Find her."
Dante immediately responded, "Please allow me, Lord. I will deploy more brothers to search the Umbral Zone thoroughly until the lady is found."
"You must also search."
Dante was shocked, hurriedly saying, "If I also search for the lady, you will have no guards by your side, Lord."
"No need for guards."
Upon hearing this, Dante initially wanted to oppose it. His Lord’s identity is noble, and there are countless people secretly plotting against him. How could it be without any guards?
However, when his line of sight met Elias’ turning gaze, those words got stuck in his throat.
Dante didn’t dare refute further, immediately lowering his head in agreement, only then saying, "Lord, we just received news that Orion Rivers, the Alliance Hierarch of the Celestial Alliance, has returned."
"I know," Elias’ voice was indifferent, clearly not paying much attention to Dante’s words.
Or rather, someone like Orion Rivers wasn’t significant enough to warrant his concern.
Dante wanted to say something, but as he looked at Elias’ cold and handsome face, he dared not utter another word.
