CHAPTER 604: CHAPTER 604: AFTER ALL, AGE IS CATCHING UP (2)

The First Elder suddenly regretted it; he shouldn’t have agreed to follow along just to show off.

Catching such a powerful envoy and then causing trouble at their meeting, it’s a lethal move, one misstep and he might get trapped in The Dark Tower!

If it weren’t that the seven major forces weren’t for them at The Celestial Alliance to control, the First Elder would have suspected that Raina North set a deadly trap for him.

Things had come to this point, and the First Elder didn’t know what more to say, leaving with a belly full of anger.

The others quickly dispersed as well.

The Third Elder stayed behind, moved over to Raina North’s side, and couldn’t help but ask, "Alliance Hierarch, are we really going to The Dark Tower in two days?"

"Of course, once the words are spoken, there’s no turning back."

The Third Elder frowned, "I’m afraid this time it’s not going to be easy."

"Not easy?"

The Third Elder immediately nodded.

Pip Finch also said, "Orion, this time is going to be really tough."

Raina North raised the corner of her lips slightly, "If it’s tough, that’s just right. If it were easy to handle, then what’s the challenge?"

"True enough." Pip Finch slapped his thigh and gave Raina North a thumbs-up, "My Orion is truly my Orion, completely different from those cowardly folks. What do we have to be afraid of? Let’s just do it!"

The Third Elder couldn’t help but give Pip Finch a look and was too lazy to deal with such a blockhead.

Raina North saw it and said, "Rest assured, since I am taking you out, I will naturally bring you back safely."

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder immediately said, "The Alliance Hierarch is wise and courageous, I have all the trust in the Alliance Hierarch."

Pip Finch, seeing the Third Elder’s flattering look, couldn’t help but say, "Bootlicker."

The Third Elder gave Pip Finch a faint glance and let out a cold snort.

After a few more words of discussion, Raina North shooed the two of them out, then left the office and headed to the small building specifically meant for entertaining guests.

As she arrived, White was kicking a soccer ball back and forth.

The small face still showed no expression, but Raina North knew this was his way of showing happiness.

Poppy Willows saw her son’s cheeks, flushed and with beads of sweat on his forehead, quickly stood up and called to him, "White, stop playing for a while, come rest and have some water."

White acted as if he hadn’t heard and continued playing with the ball in his hands.

Poppy Willows did not get angry, poured a cup of warm water, and walked over to her son, "Come have some water."

She handed the cup to her son, and then saw her son flash a big smile at her.

Poppy Willows was stunned for a moment, and then a surge of joy filled her heart. She had never seen her son smile at her like this, just as she was about to excitedly hug her son, she saw White jump past her and hop away.

Raina North saw White and instinctively bent down to pick up the little guy as he ran to her.

White inhaled the familiar scent from Raina North, his little face showing a satisfied expression. His tiny arms wrapped around Raina North’s neck, and he murmured, "Sister... Sister..."

No one else knew what White was calling, but Raina North understood that the little guy was calling her sister.

Since entering The Umbral Zone, to avoid trouble, she had been disguising herself as a man. Having become accustomed to it, whenever she put on those clothes, even she often forgot she was a woman. It was the only way to fool those sharp folks, yet she hadn’t expected this infallible disguise to be seen through by a child’s eyes.
