CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 563: WHAT IF YOU KNEEL DOWN AND BEG ME (1)

Soon, with a bang, the door of the private room was slammed open, and more than a dozen burly bodyguards poured in.

They expertly cleared a path, and a middle-aged man in an expensive tailored suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in.

"I wondered who it might be. Turns out it’s the leader of our Celestial Alliance, no wonder you’re so arrogant?" The man with glasses looked at Raina North, speaking in a particularly sarcastic tone.

Raina North glanced at the man with glasses, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "Who is this guy? How dare he call me the leader? Don’t tell me there’s this kind of trash in the Celestial Alliance."

Upon seeing the man who suddenly burst in, Lune didn’t even look up, while Pip Finch bared his teeth like an enraged little beast.

Jonah Rivers grinned mischievously: "Congratulations on guessing right, this piece of trash is indeed from your Celestial Alliance."

The Third Elder said, "This is the illegitimate son that the First Elder brought back from outside three years ago, who has always been quite favored by the First Elder."

"So it’s the First Elder’s son, no wonder he’s so ignorant." Among all the factions that consolidate power, the First Elder holds the most influence and is the most restless. His son’s attitude towards her already indicated that the First Elder completely disregarded her.

The man with glasses, accustomed to being overbearing, was infuriated when Raina called him trash, his face darkening instantly: "Dare to insult me? Are you tired of living or looking for death!"

Pip Finch couldn’t hold back any longer and sprang up, shouting angrily at the man with glasses, "Ethan Chandler, have you lost your mind? How dare you speak to the leader like that!"

"Leader? Leader of what?" Ethan Chandler sneered, utterly dismissive of Raina.

He only returned to the Celestial Alliance in the past three years, and by then, Raina had already disappeared. Although he had heard many stories about the leader of the Celestial Alliance, he was more accustomed to seeing his father’s absolute authority, domineering and unchallenged.

Even with Raina’s return, he didn’t take her seriously at all.

Just a puppet leader, if she were smart, she’d obediently be his clay idol. That way, if he were in a good mood, he might give her a little bit of face.

Ethan Chandler said unceremoniously, "Having left years ago, you should have just died outside, so why come back now pretending to be alive? Do you really think the Celestial Alliance is still the same? Ha! Naïve."

"Ethan Chandler, you’re being outrageous!" The Third Elder also stood up, shouting sternly.

"Old hag, shut up!" He had already heard from his father that the Third Elder had always opposed them, or else they could have unified the Council of Elders long ago.

Casually grabbing a wine bottle, he smashed it over.

The Third Elder dodged to the side, and although the wine bottle didn’t hit him, the glass splinters left a bloody streak on his face.

"You’re courting death!" Pip Finch was instantly furious, and Lune stood up as well, drawing the Crescent Blade with a sharp sound.

The Third Elder wiped his face, his fingers stained with the dark red of the wound, making his old face turn grave: "Since the elder won’t teach his child, as a brother, I’ll do it for him, to prevent any future catastrophe leading to an unmarked grave!"

As he spoke, he walked towards Ethan Chandler with a grim expression.

Before the Third Elder could get close, three burly men stepped out immediately to block him.

These three were the remaining three strongmen, and the others also gathered around, ready to act without hesitation at Ethan Chandler’s command.
