CHAPTER 2014: CHAPTER 2014: WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG?

"I’ll give you three days to gather all the Celestial Level experts within the Sect and follow me to the Heavenly Profound Continent to present tribute to the Venerable!"

"Yes!"

"When presenting tribute to the Venerable, you can’t go empty-handed; you must prepare a generous gift!"

"Yes!"

In the grand hall of the Heavenly Fox Palace, Aydin Hatfield sat on the high throne, issuing commands with a serious tone, while Lucille Austin and the others sat below, agreeing repeatedly without a hint of dissent.

A generous gift?

This time we’re going to bleed heavily!

Lucille Austin and the others felt bitter inside, but they knew there was no escaping this outcome.

Three Saints Sect went to great lengths to conquer the Thunder Immortal Realm just to plunder it thoroughly!

The only consolation for everyone was that their lives and the Sect were spared.

As for everything else, if it’s gone, it’s gone!

If by any chance they win the favor of the Three Saints Sect’s experts, maybe they’d impart some powerful Cultivation Technique or bestow treasures exclusive to the High Immortal Realm; it’s not entirely impossible!

At this moment, Lilianna Norman appeared at the doorway.

"Master, I have urgent news to report!"

Lucille Austin turned, frowned, and said, "The Alliance Hierarch is giving important instructions; report later if there’s something."

Lilianna Norman bowed and said, "Carson Flores has arrived!"

Carson Flores?

Everyone’s eyes instantly fixed on Lilianna Norman, while Aydin Hatfield stood abruptly, his expression somewhat subtle.

"Carson Flores?"

Lilianna Norman respectfully replied, "Yes, he sent me a message, inviting me to meet him out of the mountain."

Aydin Hatfield squinted slightly, staring at Lilianna Norman, "You didn’t inform him to flee, but came to report instead?"

Lilianna Norman calmly replied, "I did think about informing him to run quickly, but I didn’t want to implicate my Sect, and I thought capturing him could count as an achievement."

Aydin Hatfield suddenly laughed heartily, "Of course, it’s an achievement, and a significant one at that. Where is he?"

Lilianna Norman answered, "Not sure exactly, but he should be not far from the mountain gate."

Aydin Hatfield nodded, "Good, you go meet him, we’ll arrange to capture him. Don’t worry, once we catch that kid and take that tower, it’ll definitely be a great achievement, and I won’t shortchange you!"

Lilianna Norman respectfully thanked, "Thank you, Alliance Hierarch!"

Aydin Hatfield turned and said, "Immediately gather all Celestial Level experts, capture Carson Flores and others, and there will be great rewards. But if he escapes, you’ll have to explain to the Venerable yourselves!"

Everyone felt a chill inside and responded in unison, "Yes, Alliance Hierarch!"

In the crowd, Samir Coffey glanced back at Lilianna Norman, a tinge of doubt flickering in his eyes.

He knew Violeta Herrera very well, and either Lilianna Norman would quietly escape with Carson Flores, or she would advise him to escape quietly. But what did she do now?

She actively betrayed Carson Flores!

This doesn’t make sense!

Something is off!

Is it possible to stage a play where Carson Flores pretends to escape just before everyone attacks, to avoid implicating the Heavenly Fox Palace?

No!

This would be completely unnecessary!

Then what’s the truth?

Carson Flores must already know the situation at the Heavenly Fox Palace, knows that Aydin Hatfield and others are here, yet still has Lilianna Norman report, letting her lead people to capture him, which leaves only two possibilities.

First, Carson Flores is absolutely confident of escaping in any situation, so he doesn’t want to implicate Lilianna Norman and lets her actively report.

Second, Carson Flores has a plan against Aydin Hatfield, and Lilianna Norman leading people to capture him is a trap set by Carson Flores!

Samir Coffey’s pupils slightly contracted because, knowing Carson Flores and Violeta Herrera so well, he immediately pinpointed the answer after sorting everything out.

The answer is the second one!

Carson Flores wants to deal with Aydin Hatfield!

Even though there are many powerful Demon Race experts here, Carson Flores is still confident enough to handle Aydin Hatfield!

Soon, all Celestial Level experts assembled, bringing with them a multitude of incredibly powerful magical treasures.

"Set out!"

While all the experts concealed themselves within Aydin Hatfield’s flying ring, quietly leaving the mountain gate, Samir Coffey slowed his steps, falling to the rear, and quietly distanced himself from the group.

When something is abnormal, there’s definitely something strange!

Anyway, the group ambushing is filled with experts, one more or less won’t matter; he decided to lay low!

Lilianna Norman contacted Carson Flores and soon met him at the peak of a mountain a hundred miles outside the mountain gate.

Carson Flores waved at Violeta Herrera, smiling, "It’s been a while, how have you been?"

Lilianna Norman smiled, "Where have you been these days?"

Carson Flores smiled, "I went back to the Skyland Continent, handled some trivial matters, and went into seclusion for a while. Just finished with it all and came back. I just heard that the people of the Three Saints Sect are already attacking the Celestial Palace, and I’m planning to return to the Heavenly Profound Continent, so I thought I’d bid you farewell on my way..."

Before Lilianna Norman could reply, Aydin Hatfield’s figure already appeared directly from the void, and shadows surrounded Carson Flores on all sides, encircling the entire mountain peak.

"Isn’t it a bit dull to just say goodbye like this? Why not stay here, and I’ll take you to meet the Venerable, how about that?"
