CHAPTER 903: CHAPTER 903: A FIGHT? NO, IT’S MURDER

Raina North’s temple throbbed intensely as she sinisterly said, "Next time you dare to talk nonsense, I’ll turn you into a minor nuisance!"

Pip Finch shrank his neck in fear, not daring to utter another word.

The Celestial Alliance was crowded with people and prying eyes. To prevent any strange rumors from spreading, Raina didn’t return to the alliance but had Pip drive her to her private villa outside.

After returning to her room, Raina simply removed her makeup and immediately fell asleep.

Although there was no fighting at the Martial Arts Conference today, it was more exhausting than any battle, mentally draining.

Raina was sleeping soundly when a fierce knocking on the door woke her up.

She pulled the quilt over her head, pretending not to hear, but the knocking only grew more intense.

Unable to sleep due to the noise, Raina had no choice but to get out of bed, taking thunderous steps to the door.

The door was flung open suddenly, and Pip Finch, who was about to knock again, was stunned to see Raina North without her makeup.

Even though he had accepted that their ’Brother Orion’ was actually a girl, seeing such a soft and feminine figure left Pip a bit astounded.

Raina noticed Pip staring in a daze at her and gritted her teeth, angrily saying, "Pip Finch, if there’s nothing significant, you’re as good as dead tonight."

Seeing Raina’s anger, Pip’s heart skipped a beat. He remembered that their Brother Orion was great in many ways, except for having a terrible temper when woken up.

Especially being woken in the middle of the night, she was as irritable as a rampaging dinosaur.

"Of course, it’s something big," Pip quickly said. "I just got news that our subordinate force under the Reed Family in the Aethelgard Outskirts has been wiped out."

Raina immediately became more alert and asked, "Do we know who did it?"

Pip shook his head, "Not yet. Except for one brother who managed to report, everyone else from the Reed Family was either captured or killed. We have no specific information."

Raina furrowed her brows and immediately said, "Notify and prepare the elders now for a meeting."

Pip’s spirit lifted, "Orion, are you going to lead the brothers into a fight?"

Raina gave a chilling smile, "A fight? No, it’s a slaughter."

...

The Celestial Alliance conference room.

All the elders had arrived.

The conference room was in an uproar.

Upon receiving news that the Reed Family’s subordinate force was destroyed, a hot-tempered elder immediately proposed leading the brothers of the Celestial Alliance to storm in, rescue the captured, and avenge the fallen comrades.

However, some elders disagreed and firmly opposed sending people from the alliance for the rescue mission.

"If word gets out that we didn’t go for the rescue, what will the subordinate forces think of the Celestial Alliance? If we truly remain indifferent, it will dishearten everyone and ruin the entire Celestial Alliance!"

"Is it really that serious? Didn’t you hear what the brother who reported back said? The group that took out the subordinate force were unknown individuals, all highly skilled, ruthless, killing whoever they saw. Without clarifying the situation, charging in with this brother is leading everyone to a dead end!

The Reed Family’s calamity is indeed unfortunate, but our brothers are the backbone of the Celestial Alliance! If we act recklessly this time and incur heavy losses among our brothers, other forces won’t be lenient on us. At that point, we’d be easy prey!

Third Elder, are you sure you want to sacrifice the entire Celestial Alliance for a small subordinate force? Or are you trying to use this sacrifice to win people’s hearts? The Hierarch is still present, and you’re already trying to win support, what are you planning? Are you trying to mimic the actions of the previous First Elder?"
