CHAPTER 647: CHAPTER 647: DON’T SLANDER MY ORION! (PART 1)

"So it was Leo, huh. Yes, he is indeed a guest of the Hades Clan right now. I’m just not sure how Leo offended the Lord of the Dark Tower to make you go to such lengths. How about this, I’ll let Leo apologize to you. Would the Lord of the Dark Tower be willing to give me a little face and let this go?"

Corvus Hades seemed to speak kindly, but there was an intimacy in his words directed at Raina North.

At that moment, Quinn Thorne, standing by the side, swore he saw the frost on his boss’s face crack open.

The killing intent that erupted then made Quinn’s heart race, and he wanted nothing more than to flee with his head in his hands.

"This is between Orion Rivers and me. It’s not appropriate for an outsider like the Emperor Hades to get involved."

Corvus sighed: "It seems the Lord of the Dark Tower refuses to make peace with Leo. In that case, I cannot let Leo come out. He is very close to me, and I cannot stand by and watch the Lord of the Dark Tower lay a hand on him."

Quinn almost dropped to his knees hearing Corvus speak like this.

If there was anyone he knew who was a master at courting disaster, it was definitely this Emperor Hades. Raina was the boss’s untouchable line.

He hurriedly looked at Elias Hawthorne, afraid that his boss might lose control and go on a killing spree.

However, nothing of the sort happened.

Elias Hawthorne did not explode in rage as Quinn expected.

He kept his head bowed, his long eyelashes hiding the emotions in his eyes, revealing nothing to anyone trying to see through.

The more he behaved this way, the more Quinn’s heart thudded with anxiety.

He, he would rather the boss blow up than this—it made him think of a volcano about to erupt, the more it was suppressed, the more catastrophic the eruption would be.

At this point, Elias’s lips curled slightly into a smile, his gaze lifted, his expression turning wicked, making others even more uneasy.

Elias spoke slowly: "I appreciate the Emperor Hades’ good intentions, but indeed my matters with Alliance Leader Rivers might be best left untouched by the Emperor. When it comes to matters of the heart, the more others interfere, the worse it gets. I assume someone as astute as the Emperor is well aware of this simple truth."

Everyone: "!!!!"

Holy crap!

What exactly did they just hear?

Matters of the heart?

An emotional entanglement between The Celestial Alliance Leader Orion Rivers and the Lord of the Dark Tower?

Was it the kind of entanglement they were understanding?

But these two were both manly men.

This wasn’t about whether such feelings existed for them, just that these two were major figures renowned in the Umbral Zone, especially the Lord of the Dark Tower, who was the leader of the Seven Major Factions.

Two such figures, going out, would have countless beauties swooning over them.

And yet, they handled it internally just like that?

What’s even more interesting, they wondered, is who takes the lead?

Raina, who had been lying on the bed idle, suddenly remembered she hadn’t checked her phone in days.

Upon discovering Elias was the Lord of the Dark Tower, Raina felt irked and had left the estate ahead of time.

Little did she know, upon leaving the estate she was caught by Corvus Hades, who brought her back and had her sparring with the offerings there.

After each spar, she’d be so exhausted she fell asleep without bothering to shower.

Today, with the offerings going easy on her, she found herself having a bit of energy and remembered her phone.

Raina initially wanted to check on the current situation at The Celestial Alliance. Once she picked up her phone, she found countless missed calls.

She was just about to check the situation when the phone rang again—it was Pip Finch calling.

As soon as she answered, this guy was shouting on the other end: "Orion, where have you been these days? During that Dark Tower meeting, didn’t you say you’d be right there? How come I never saw you? Do you know? That day I met a fascinating young woman, she was amazing, not only smart and resourceful but she took on the Lord of the Dark Tower. And most importantly, she won. Even the First Elder has behaved much better since coming back..."
