Chapter 460: First class
"I ran into some arrogant individuals at the cafe," Elizabeth explained, her tone clear and measured. "A young man named Long Tian, who claimed to represent the six righteous sects. He... demanded that I join him for tea. When I declined, he tried to enforce his will."Alistair picked up the lacquer box, unlatching it to inspect the fragrant green tea leaves inside.A faint, cold glint flickered deep within his golden eyes, subtle as a shadow, yet heavy as a mountain."Long Tian? And he claims to be a member of the Righteous sects," Alistair murmured smoothly. "It would seem I was wrong to expect decency from representatives of the righteous sects.”"Master Xie intervened before things escalated further," Elizabeth added. "Though I suspect that young man is not accustomed to hearing the word 'no'.""Fools rarely are," Alistair said, placing the tea box aside. "Set aside the tea for now, Elizabeth. Did you bring the box with the silver needles I gave you yesterday?”Elizabeth nodded. “
Chapter 459: A bully in fancy clothes
Long Tian stared down at his twitching hand in sheer disbelief before glaring at Master Xie, his eyes burning with intense humiliation and rage. "You old dog! You dare strike an envoy of the six sects for the sake of a common mortal?!""Brother Long, let me cut him down!" the female disciple from the Ice Queen Palace hissed, pulling a translucent, frost-covered thin-sword from her scabbard."Stop! All of you, stop!" Elder Zhao finally yelled, practically throwing himself between the two sides.Sweat dripped down his brow as he bowed frantically to Long Tian, his hands trembling. "Young Master Long, please! I beg of you, do not act recklessly here! That young lady is Miss Elizabeth Bolton—and more importantly, she is an acquaintance of the noble Senior who single-handedly suppressed the demonic threat in Haven!"The declaration hung in the air like a falling anvil.Long Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly, though his pride prevented him from showing any sign of retreat.He thought Elder Zhao
Chapter 458: Invitation to tea?
"Oh, my apologies," Elizabeth said quickly, offering a polite, brief nod. "I wasn't paying attention."She moved to step past them, but the young man didn't move.Long Tian stood in the doorway, his eyes fixed entirely on Elizabeth.The condescending sneer he had worn since arriving in Haven vanished, replaced by an intense, calculating gaze.As a martial artist of the Heavenly King Martial Sect, his spiritual perception immediately picked up on the crystal-clear resonance surrounding her.Her soul was untainted by the mundane filth of the mortal world—a pristine, radiant vessel.A natural, flawless spirit body, Long Tian thought, a spark of possessive greed igniting behind his eyes.Though she was currently just a mortal with an unsealed dantian, if her cultivation were awakened and nurtured with high-grade spiritual pills, she would become an unprecedented furnace for dual cultivation. For someone at his level, absorbing the refined Yin energy of a pure soul could easily push him p
Chapter 457: A but of friction
Unlike Elder Zhao and the other two elders who acted subservient to the righteous sect delegation, Master Xie had no reason to do so.Only those that were part of a sect would have to bow.But as a wandering cultivator, he had no such obligation.In the first place, he genuinely looked down on the sects of the righteous path.He believed that they had begun to stray from the path of righteousness, causing more members of these top sects to be consumed by arrogance. Only a Sage like Alistair Reid was worthy of his respect. The only reason he was here was because Alistair had told him to watch over things once the representatives of the righteous sects arrived in Haven, to ensure that nothing went wrong. Long Tian’s eyes narrowed into sharp, hostile slits, the temperature in the private lounge dropping as a suffocating aura of spiritual pressure erupted from his body.Behind him, the twenty-three disciples from the other five sects shifted into aggressive stances, their hands resting
Chapter 456: The Righteous sects delegation
Sara gritted her teeth. “Why would you even say that? Yes, I know we are getting divorced but I thought after all this time you'd at least have a change of heart. I've said it countless times already, Alistair, I don't want to get a divorce.”“Did you really say that?” Alistair asked, causing Sara to hold her tongue.In truth, she only ever said it once and even then, because of her pride, she believed she didn't need to fight for anything.She thought that Alistair would have a change of heart and come running back to her, begging to be taken back. But clearly, he had no intentions of doing that. The silent realization settled over the room like lead.Sara’s throat tightened, the words dying before they could reach her lips.Her eyes darted away, unable to hold the piercing, unbothered gaze of the man sitting beside her bed.Alistair’s expression didn't shift into malice or smugness; it remained perfectly, terrifyingly neutral."Your pride has always rewritten your memories to suit
Chapter 455: Do as you wish
With a final bow to Alistair, Isabella escorted Cassandra out of the living room, leading her toward a tinted, unregistered luxury SUV parked out of sight near the side entrance.Once the double doors closed, leaving only Alistair and Adam in the quiet room, Adam stepped forward, his expression turning grave."Master Reid," Adam spoke in a lowered tone. "If high-ranking politicians in Haven are truly involved in this ring, tomorrow night won't just be about reclaiming a ledger. It could spark a confrontation with the major factions in the state."Alistair walked toward the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the glittering lights of Haven under the night sky.His golden eyes flickered with an ancient, terrifying radiance."Let them come, Adam," Alistair murmured into the quiet room. "Whether it is a corrupt scion in Haven or a power broker... anyone who feeds on the innocent will find out that their authority means nothing in my presence.”“I'll head back now to make the necessar
