Alistair took the elevator to the next floor, quickly coming across a reception, along with a door guarded by two security men who were clearly martial artists.Seemingly trying to intimidate Alistair, they released their spiritual pressure at the same time, but Alistair casually shrugged it off as he approached the receptionist, who was a young man wearing a Chinese robe. He had the name tag, Benjamin. “I'm here to speak with Beggar John. Is he available?” Alistair asked.The receptionist, Benjamin, raised his head to regard Alistair with a rather arrogant and haughty look in his eyes. After seeing the simple clothes that Alistair was wearing, Benjamin muttered almost dismissively.“Beggar John is busy.”“When will he be free?” Alistair asked.“He is busy now but if you can pay a 10 thousand dollars visitation fee, I can see what I can do for you,” Benjamin remarked. Alistair furrowed his brows.The Beggar's Sect only ever charged money for information shared.And the money wasn'

Benjamin and Conan froze while Alistair glanced in the direction of the one who spoke.It turned out to be a middle-aged man in a dirty Chinese robe. He seemed like a beggar one would see on the street, but his eyes were filled with wisdom, and his posture made it clear that he was a martial arts expert. It was none other than Beggar John, one of the leaders of the Beggar's Sect in Haven. “Master, how come you are out here? I thought you were meditating?” Benjamin said, trying hard to hide his panic.Beggar John snorted. “You knew I was meditating yet you allowed people to be making noise out here.”“Sorry, master, it's honestly not my fault. A fool came in here seeking trouble so I asked Conan to come and remove him before he made a mess.”“Who would be so bold as to come into the Beggar's Sect and cause trouble?” Beggar John asked.“You don't have to worry, master. I'll handle everything, just head inside for now.” Benjamin said. Ignoring him, Beggar John looked around only for

“Please, it won't happen again. Just spare me this once.” Conan pleaded. “Be grateful that you are still a member of the Beggar's Sect. Otherwise, you would already be a corpse.” Alistair calmly said. The Beggar's Sect had a rule that killing a member of their organization would be considered the same as killing the organization itself.And the punishment for such an act would be excommunication.No member of the Beggar's Sect would ever accept requests from the killer and they would be isolated from all information.Of course, even if they wanted to, the Beggar's Sect couldn't possibly punish Alistair if he went ahead to kill Conan.After all, he was the Shadow Emperor of Arcadia.But Alistair respected them and so, respected their rules as well.There was no need to force the sect to break their rules when they could adequately punish Conan in his place.With that in mind, Alistair shoved Conan away, causing the latter to crash to the ground. Just then, Beggar John walked up to A

As Alistair was leaving the mall to head back to the Manchester Hotel, Sara was already on the road back to the Connor Group.She drove with a big smile on her face, already planning on what she would do once Tristan's cancer cure hit the market.Connor Group would definitely become a Grade-A company and as for her family, becoming billionaires would no longer be a pipe dream. She wondered how Alistair would feel learning about Tristan's drug. His jealousy led him to pursue Trisas, even though he was an enemy, if he were one, even though he was only trying to be a good friend to her.Regardless, Sara swore to make Alistair see the error of his ways and apologize to Tristan.Maybe then, they would be able to return to how things were in the past.With that in mind, Sara felt that nothing could go wrong.That was until she got a surprise call from Trina, her personal assistant.“Yes, Trina, have you started the preparations I told you about?” Sara said once she picked up.“Miss, there

The reason this nameless individual didn't doubt Elizabeth's identity after seeing her was that they knew Elizabeth well, having been introduced by a certain friend of theirs.With that in mind, the person quickly took out his phone and dialed that friend.“Yeah, bro, you won't believe it. I just saw Elizabeth at the Manchester Hotel and she's completely fine. Yeah, she just left with some stranger. No, don't worry, he doesn't seem to be from any known top family. Alright, don't worry, I'll tail them and see where they are going.”Once the call ended, the person pocketed their phone and immediately rushed out of the hotel.Meanwhile, over at Connor Group, Sara arrived at her office, practically fuming.The conversation with Alistair was still running through her head, and it only made her more upset.The only thing that would calm her down in that moment was putting Alistair in his place and to do that, she believed Tristan's cancer cure was the way to go.She checked her phone to fin
