CHAPTER 895: CHAPTER 895: NOT A MOMENT’S CARELESSNESS ALLOWED

Everyone: "..."

"That way, it does sound a bit more credible."

"So, what kind of divine flavor does this roast suckling pig have to make these two big shots fall out and get anxious?"

"Speaking of which, what’s up with President Chester? This Martial Arts Conference has always been the most prestigious event in our Umbral Zone, how could they be so stingy with food? If money is tight, isn’t everyone willing to chip in with donations? It’s held only once every three years; shouldn’t we all be having a great time?"

Someone who knew the inside story couldn’t help but defend President Chester: "President Chester has put a lot of effort into the food this time; it’s definitely the best ever. It’s precisely because President Chester arranged so many dishes that Leader Finch took ten sacks from the waiters and packed all the food to transport it back to The Celestial Alliance."

The big shots: "..."

As expected of The Celestial Alliance, only they could pull off such a stunt; no other organization could.

So really, you can’t blame these two big figures, it’s entirely The Celestial Alliance’s fault!

Lune heard the crowd’s discussion and couldn’t help but take a few steps aside, distancing himself from Pip Finch, pretending not to know him.

Pip Finch didn’t notice and said smugly, "See, this is my wise and brave decision. If I hadn’t acted early, we’d have ended up with nothing when those big shots rushed over."

Lune looked at Pip Finch’s smug face and took several deep breaths to calm his frustration.

He ultimately felt he had let Orion down by not promoting the name of The Celestial Alliance well and letting Pip Finch completely disgrace it.

Raina North heard Pip’s words and couldn’t help but facepalm.

She tried to recall what on earth she was thinking back in the day to bring this troublesome fellow back.

The only silver lining was that the identity she used today wasn’t Orion Rivers, so the embarrassment wouldn’t affect her, though she felt a little sorry for her Lune.

Just then, President Chester suddenly said, "Sorry, I’ve really made Alliance Leader Rivers a laughingstock."

Raina North instinctively replied, "Not at all, I’m used to it..."

Before the words were out, Raina North realized and immediately said, "I mean, I’ve been around a lot over the years and seen many things, this is nothing."

"Really?"

"Yes... yes." Raina replied, bracing herself under President Chester’s meaningful gaze.

But it seemed he didn’t believe her at all.

Raina North chose to ignore it, while secretly reminding herself that dealing with these old folks was not something she could slack off on even for a moment, or she’d end up stripped bare!

"Master Rise, aren’t you going up to stop them?"

"No need, if they want to fight, let them. Once they’re tired, they’ll stop. Besides, with their skill level, what can a gentle music master like me do?"

President Chester laughed, "Master Rise, if that’s really what you think, that would be great. But if it’s because of me or for some other reasons, that would truly be a pity."

To this, Raina North only chuckled dryly, "Hehe."

...

In the crowd, Claire Lowell stood in the corner, watching coldly, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

This Emperor Hades is truly the best teammate she could ask for. Originally, she just wanted him to sow discord between Master Rise and Nameless; she didn’t expect him to directly start a fight with Nameless.
