SWNOVELS Chapter 4704 You Fool
"Kill Mr. Chance over Allardland's dead body!"
As soon as Bernard had finished speaking, hundreds of cultivators ascended into mid-air, all falling into positions behind him.
With that, the atmosphere between the two parties grew hostile.
At that moment, Octavion was painting something or other in the room, while Lorelei gave him a massage behind him.
"What a spectacle! Unexpectedly, some fools believed in that Decree of Execution and came to Allardland to kill Jared!" Octavion remarked with a smile.
"Octavion, what should we do? Should we lend them a hand? I reckon Allardland might not be able to hold off the incoming forces," Lorelei asked.
"Don't bother. I'm practically a dead man now, and a dead person doesn't have to bother with anything." After Octavion had said that, he went back to focusing his attention on painting.
In the skies of Allardland, Orion wore a slight smile as he said to Bernard, "Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. This buddy of mine isn't good with words. We mean no harm. We're just here to meet with Mr. Chance."
"As I've said, Mr. Chance is cultivating and has no time for a meeting," Bernard replied in a cold voice. Knowing the other party's intentions, he showed them no affability.
Orion chuckled. "It's okay. We'll wait for Mr. Chance to leave his solitary training. Please inform us when the time comes, Your Majesty."
With that said, he waved a hand. The three of them promptly retreated, putting distance between them and Allardland.
Upon seeing that, Bernard also led his men back to Allardland.
At the sight of that, Theron groused in dissatisfaction, "Orion, considering the limited capabilities of Allardland, we-"
"Shut up, you fool!" Orion didn't even wait for the man to finish speaking before he cursed outright, wishing nothing more than to slap him across the face.
At the side, Cassian seconded, "Have you lost your mind? I've never seen anyone as foolish as you!" When Theron heard that, his temper instantly flared. He retorted, "It's one thing for Orion to scold me, but who do you think you are? No matter what, I rank above you. Is this how you speak to me?"
"So what if you rank above me? You're foolish, and that's a fact." Cassian glared back at the man. "Didn't you ever consider why Bernard wasn't afraid at all in the face of us despite Allardland being nothing more than ants before us and even seemed ready to fight to the death?"
"He... He was simply ignorant, unaware of our strength," Theron replied.
"Bullsh*t! The three of us didn't hide our auras at all. How could Bernard possibly be unaware of our strength? And if so, why did he intercept us directly? The fact that he wasn't at all afraid of us proved that
he has an expert backing Allardland up, you dimwit!" Cassian cursed.
"How dare you!" Snapping, Theron was a moment away from getting physical with the man.
"Enough!" Orion barked coldly, putting a stop to the squabble between the two men.
He then continued, "Cassian is right. The Tenth Hall sent men to attack Allardland, but they all ended up defeated. This just goes to show that an expert is backing Allardland up. I also heard that Tavon from the Tenth Hall was instantly killed, only to be revived again. Such a feat is not something an ordinary cultivator could ever accomplish."
"What? He was revived?" Theron exclaimed in disbelief.
"I've only heard about it, but the Tenth Hall wouldn't just fork out a hundred thousand celestial crystals for someone else to do an easy task. We absolutely cannot afford to be careless. Especially now that Celestial Stairway's appearance is imminent, we must be even more cautious," Orion asserted.
With his brows furrowed slightly, Theron countered, "Orion, while that's true, you have to understand that fortune favors the bold. If you keep being so cautious, we won't be able to get anything. There's bound to be others who'll come looking for Jared."
"If someone else comes, then we'll let them go first. You've heard of the saying that the third party profits when two parties fight, right?" Orion asked.
"Yes, yes. I've got it now!"
Theron nodded fervently in agreement.
