CHAPTER 582: CHAPTER 582: TWISTING OFF THE NECK (2)

Ruthless!

Orion Rivers is truly ruthless to the extreme!

In a mere heartbeat, the First Elder already made a decision: "Thank you for valuing me, Alliance Hierarch, but as regrettable as it is, just as you wished, such a rebellious little wretch is not of The Chandler Family, nor is he my blood."

"Very well, since he’s not the son of the First Elder, there’s no need for me to show any mercy, for showing mercy is utterly pointless; killing him to settle it once and for all is best."

Raina North stared at the First Elder, her tone slow yet filled with cold ruthlessness.

She heard that this Ethan Chandler was the First Elder’s only son; she didn’t believe the old man could truly remain indifferent. As long as he admitted Ethan was his son, she could use that to incriminate the First Elder.

The situation in The Celestial Alliance is truly dire; even though she will eventually leave, she cannot allow the Alliance she painstakingly built to be destroyed by the likes of the First Elder.

Raina smiled subtly: "Lune, Pip, you both handle this man. Don’t be in a hurry to let him die; that would be too easy for him."

Pip Finch immediately smacked his chest forcefully: "Orion, rest assured, since he wants you dead, I naturally won’t let him off easily. I must skin him and break his bones to teach him a lengthy lesson. Some people just shouldn’t be provoked!"

The First Elder’s face twitched again.

Before Pip Finch could step forward to drag the man away, he suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Wretch! How dare you disregard The Celestial Alliance and even audaciously attempt to harm the Alliance Hierarch, it’s truly unforgivable!"

As his words fell, the First Elder raised a hand and violently twisted Ethan Chandler’s neck.

Only a crunching sound was heard, and Ethan’s neck, in his unconscious state, twisted into a bizarre angle. Dead, more dead he could not be.

The First Elder’s sudden outburst caught everyone by surprise.

Raina North’s expression turned darker, originally planning to use this opportunity to seize evidence against the First Elder, and then charge him with murder of the Alliance Hierarch, oust him from The Celestial Alliance.

This way, she not only could dismantle the First Elder’s power but also intimidate those harboring ill intentions. Yet she didn’t expect the First Elder to be so ruthless, brutally snapping his son’s neck.

Raina sneered as she spoke: "The First Elder truly has impressive methods, truly deserving the label of ruthless."

The First Elder threw the corpse onto the ground, chuckling, yet his eyes were filled with coldness: "Not worthy of the Alliance Hierarch’s praise, however, this little wretch brought it upon himself. Daring to assassinate the Alliance Hierarch, dismembering him is only natural and our duty."

The Elders behind the First Elder clearly saw his clenched hands, with faint traces of blood gleaming between the fingers.

But that was inevitable. Since the First Elder’s eldest son died, this illegitimate child born of a mistress was the last Chandler scion, and didn’t even leave any descendants behind.

From now on, the First Elder and the Alliance Hierarch are likely enemies as deep as the sea, irreconcilable, forever without possibility of reconciliation.

Those aligned with the First Elder have no escape route.

Facing the famed Alliance Hierarch, Orion Rivers, their hearts were full of trepidation—but at this point, there was no retreat.

Raina suppressed her turbulent emotions and spoke calmly: "Elders, what did you come for early in the morning? Surely it’s not just to deal with the traitorous individual?"
