Chapter 78: Anything can go wrong
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
Chapter 77: A brief game of chess
Realizing John was serious, Louis panicked. “No wait, you can't do this. You can't do this!”Snorting derisively, John turned away. “Mr. Reid, this way please.”“Of course.”Together, the two continued on their way, ignoring Louis’ cries. A minute later and the two were seated in a large room that seemed large enough to contain over thirty men.At the center of the room was a table with a game of chess on top.Two mats were kept on either side with John and Alistair occupying one each. To the left, just outside the room was a mini garden with a fountain at the center. As the two engaged in a game of chess, Alistair remarked as he made the first move. “I need information on a few herbs.” “What herbs?” John asked as he made his move.Alistair calmly listed out the herbs as he made his second move.By the time he was done, John couldn't help but take his eyes away from the game for a moment.“You wish to create a Sacred Life-and-Death Pill?” “Indeed,” Alistair replied.“For what rea
Chapter 76: Banned from the Beggar's Sect
“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
Chapter 75: A disgrace to the Beggar's Sect
“What?” Beggar John glanced at Benjamin. “Is this true?”“Of course not, master! Why would I do such a thing? This bastard is lying!” Benjamin immediately tried to defend himself. Pursing his lips, Beggar John glanced at Alistair. “Mr. Reid, are you sure you aren't mistaken?”“What do you think caused the conflict you stumbled upon?”Beggar John could hardly believe his ears. Turning to Benjamin, he coldly remarked. “You'd best tell me the truth right now, otherwise, if I investigate and I find out the truth myself, I will make sure you suffer until your death.” Terrified, Benjamin didn't dare to hide anything.The Beggar's Sect was known to be masters at gathering information. As a disciple of the sect, he knew more than anyone how incredible they were at gathering information.So hiding anything from his master would only put him in more trouble.With no other choice, Benjamin could only tell the truth.“I asked for a visitation fee, but that's only because I thought he was a sc
Chapter 74: A greedy disciple
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
Chapter 73: Throwing weight around
“I understand that you are stepping out of line,” Alistair remarked. “So, get back in line.”“Enough!” Benjamin flared up at this moment, unable to stay silent any longer.Glaring at Alistair, he remarked. “How dare you insult Mr. Carter? Don't you have any manners?”“Since when did demanding the right thing become insulting?” Alistair asked back. Alistair's response infuriated Benjamin even further as he pointed at him. “You'd best shut your mouth and sit back down right now otherwise, don't blame me for what happens next!”“And if I don't?” Alistair asked, taking a step forward instead. Seeing this, Benjamin nodded his head. “Good, very good. From this moment, you are banned from the Beggar's Sect!”Then, he ordered the martial artists at the door. “Guards! Kick this fool out right now!” “Understood!” As the guards responded, they walked up to Alistair to do as instructed.Meanwhile, Benjamin turned his attention back to Louis, already thinking that Alistair was done for.“Mr. C
