CHAPTER 661: CHAPTER 661: AS LONG AS I WIN HIS HEART (1)

Corvus Hades was in the training room practicing martial arts. Upon seeing the figure standing at the door, he suddenly leaped up and knocked his sparring partner to the ground.

Seeing that the other person couldn’t get up, Corvus Hades said magnanimously, "We’ll stop here for today."

The person breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left with the support of others.

Corvus Hades grabbed a hot towel and wiped his sweat. "Come in."

Then Wraith entered with members of The Hades Clan.

Corvus picked up a cup of hot water and drank, his chin slightly raised. "Speak, what did Leo do yesterday?"

The Hades Clan member quickly said, "Alliance Leader Rivers, after leaving, went to The Crimson Blade Hall. It’s said that some fools from The Crimson Blade Hall were lacking foresight and kidnapped the sworn sister Alliance Leader Rivers acknowledged just yesterday in Veridia."

Upon hearing this, Corvus couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Leo is really adorable, using an excuse to deal with some riff-raff. Does he enjoy beating people up even more?"

The Hades Clan member held his opinion, fearing that only his dear Emperor Hades would find this adorable, while the people of The Crimson Blade Hall would not agree.

However, they dared not voice their criticism.

Corvus Hades asked again, "When did that masked fellow from The Dark Tower leave?"

"This morning, Pip Finch personally escorted him out. They looked quite close."

Corvus Hades paused, "What did you say?"

The Hades Clan member’s heart skipped a beat, eyes filled with fear, "I...I said, the Lord of the Dark Tower left this morning. Pip Finch personally escorted the person out, and they looked very close."

At these words, Corvus Hades became furious, "Why are you only reporting such an important matter now?"

The Hades Clan member was petrified, unable to utter a single word under Corvus Hades’ fierce pressure.

Finally, Wraith couldn’t stand it anymore, stepped forward, and sighed slightly, saying, "Emperor Hades." Seeing Corvus didn’t speak, he added, "Alright, hurry down."

The Hades Clan member looked gratefully at Wraith, quickly left.

Corvus Hades’ expression was cold, icy, and ruthless, "Is a useless person worth your defense?"

Wraith lowered his gaze, not speaking.

Corvus didn’t care, pacing like a beast in the training room before stopping. He suddenly turned to look at Wraith, "Do you think I can’t pursue people?"

Wraith thought internally, just drop the pretense and remove ’can’t.’

Whose pursuit involves dragging the person back to The Hades Clan and having a few priests beat them like a dead dog?

Only his Emperor Hades would do that, saying grandly that the more beatings now, the better they’ll preserve a dog’s life when facing danger in the future.

There’s truth to that statement. When he practiced martial arts with his master, his master said the same, beating him into a dead dog daily.

But the problem is, Emperor is not Alliance Leader Rivers’ master but a pursuer. Leaving aside the daily romance, there’s no need for such reckless actions.

Corvus waited a long while but didn’t hear Wraith speak, glanced over, "Why aren’t you saying anything?"

Wraith dared not voice his criticisms internally, saying in a more tactful way, "In response to Emperor Hades, I was just thinking, since you harbor deep feelings for Alliance Leader Rivers..."

"Deep feelings? When did I ever have deep feelings? I just thought he’s more or less decently looking, with a somewhat interesting temperament; that’s why I allowed him to stay by my side as amusement."

Wraith looked at his proud Emperor Hades, feeling numerous wild horses galloping past his mind.

With his Emperor’s obstinate nature, unless resorting to secret attacks, if he could bring people back, he’d write his name backward.

Corvus hadn’t noticed Wraith’s silent disbelief and urged, "Why didn’t you continue?"
