CHAPTER 686: CHAPTER 686: UNLOCKED A NEW SCENE (2)

Pip Finch saw Raina North wasn’t speaking and immediately asked, "Orion, aren’t you really happy for me too?"

Raina North nodded with difficulty,

Pip Finch became even more excited, jabbering away.

Raina North had no choice but to interrupt quickly, otherwise if she let this kid continue talking, he might just babble on all night.

"How’s the First Elder doing?"

Upon hearing Raina North mention serious matters, Pip Finch instantly became serious: "Orion, I was just about to report to you. Lune sent news that the First Elder has been quite active lately, probably planning something big."

"Let him be, it’s not that we fear him causing trouble, but rather that he won’t. Make sure to tell Lune to be extra careful, it’s not the others we need to worry about but that old fox getting desperate."

"Don’t worry, Orion."

"Also, pick out some sharp buddies by tomorrow."

Pip Finch agreed without hesitation, then excitedly asked, "Orion, are we going to fight or planning to take over some territory?"

Raina North: "...Neither."

"Neither." Pip Finch was very disappointed until he saw the silver invitation token placed on the table by Raina North, his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Damn, Orion, how did you get this thing? You didn’t steal it, did you? Hmm, you must have. Otherwise, how could our Celestial Alliance possibly get an invitation token to the Martial Arts Conference?"

Even when their Celestial Alliance was at its peak, they weren’t qualified to get this invitation token, let alone now when they couldn’t even grab a hair.

Pip Finch gave a thumbs-up to Raina North, full of admiration: "Orion, you really are something, truly something. From today on, you’re the person I admire most."

Raina North was speechless: "Who said I stole it?"

"If it wasn’t stolen, was it given?" Pip Finch looked at Raina North with an expression that said, "I’ve read a lot, so don’t try to fool me."

"Congratulations, you guessed right."

Pip Finch was even more dumbfounded: "Could it be that the Lord of the Dark Tower gave it to you?"

"Smart, right again."

Pip Finch hesitated for a long time before speaking hesitantly, "Orion, you didn’t offend the Lord of the Dark Tower, did you?"

"Offend?" Raina North was even more surprised: "Why do you say that?"

"Orion, don’t you remember? Our Celestial Alliance has been so unrestrained, we have grudges with all sorts of powers over the years. This time, if we go to this Martial Arts Conference, we might be besieged, and we might really not come back. So, that’s why I reasonably suspect the Lord of the Dark Tower wants to mess with us."

Raina North was very surprised and praised, "Not bad, finally using your brain."

Raina North was quite relieved.

In the Celestial Alliance, the person she was most concerned and worried about had to be Pip Finch. Although his combat power wasn’t low, unfortunately, his thinking was too straightforward, and his way of doing things even more so, leading to her constant fear that he might accidentally get himself killed.

If it weren’t for this, Elias Hawthorne wouldn’t have arranged for Master Drake to be Pip Finch’s mentor, which she agreed to.

Pip Finch instantly boasted: "That’s right, Orion, even my Master Drake says I’m a natural talent and destined for great things."

Raina North directly ignored Pip Finch’s endless self-complimenting and said, "If this invitation token was given by someone else, we should just do what we need to do and not pay attention. But this time, we can go, and the situation you worry about where the Celestial Alliance is isolated and helpless won’t happen. Our Celestial Alliance must seize this opportunity to change the current situation."
