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
Chapter 454: Calling up assistance
Isabella Heart stepped inside first.She was dressed in an elegant black trench coat over a silk blouse, her sharp, breathtaking features set in a serious, focused expression.Right behind her was Adam Smith, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes sharp and alert.The moment both powerhouses stepped into the living room, their eyes locked onto Alistair, and without a second's delay, both offered a deep, respectful bow."Master Reid," Isabella and Adam spoke in unison.Cassandra's breath hitched.She nearly dropped her glass.These were two of the most untouchable figures in the entire province—people even the city's mayor had to treat with immense delicacy—bowing like subordinates before a young man in his twenties."Sit," Alistair commanded mildly, gesturing to the adjacent leather armchairs.Isabella and Adam took their seats instantly, their gazes briefly flicking to Cassandra. Isabella’s sharp eyes recognized the famous runway model immediately, noting the subtle anxiety in
Chapter 453: Elite World Group
"Human trafficking under the guise of glamour," Alistair murmured, his voice dropping into a register of terrifying, calm absolute authority. "A foul sickness hiding behind a polished mirror.""I barely managed to escape that night," Cassandra continued, her voice trembling slightly as she relived the memory, though the steady presence of Alistair kept her grounded. "While trying to find a way out of the compound, I stumbled into one of their private administrative offices. I found a physical, encrypted ledger detailing their clients, their distribution routes, and every high-ranking official protecting their operations."She looked out the window as the coastal breeze began to sweep through the city, the tall yachts of the Haven Marina appearing in the distance beneath the twilight sky."That's why they froze my accounts, why they hired mercenaries, and why they crashed my car," Cassandra said, turning her head back to face him, her jaw set with newfound grit. "They aren't just tryin
Chapter 452: The reason for Cassandra's predicament
The leader’s eyes narrowed, his grip on Cassandra tightening as he raised his firearm, pointing it directly at Alistair’s chest. "Mind your own business, buddy, unless you want a second belly button. Drive away while you still can."Alistair took a single step forward, his expression completely unbothered by the barrel aimed at his heart. "A threat? How remarkably unoriginal.""Kill him," the leader spat to the two men in trench coats.Before the nearest henchman could even reach into his jacket, Alistair vanished.To Cassandra's eyes, he simply dissolved into a blur.A sharp gust of wind swept through the narrow alley, followed by two sickening cracks in rapid succession.The two men in trench coats collapsed to the pavement like ragdolls, their limbs bent at unnatural angles, completely unconscious before they even hit the ground.The leader gasped, his eyes widening in pure horror as he tried to pull the trigger.Clang.A hand reached out with impossible speed, effortlessly catchin
