She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart Chapter 613: The One Most Likely to Be Killed Is Him (1)

The Dark Tower mber, looking at Pip Finch’s fierce deanor, was genuinely about to cry this ti.

"Pip, don’t be like this. The fact is, our Alliance Hierarch had urgent matters and left unexpectedly."

The Dark Tower mber was almost moved to tears upon hearing the words of the Third Elder; look at that, this elder is quite reasonable.

"It’s not appropriate for The Celestial Alliance to miss it. If word spreads, everyone might think they are teaming up to exclude our Celestial Alliance."

Everyone: "..."

Exclude? Clearly, they’re going to unite to attack you, right?

However, nobody was tactless enough to say this aloud.

"Why not just find soone to replace our Alliance Hierarch and attend?" With that, their gaze turned to the First Elder.

Seeing this, the others also turned their gaze.

First Elder: "..."

Why are all of you looking at ?

Before the First Elder could figure it out, the Third Elder stepped forward quickly and grabbed his hand, "Since you are the one everyone looks up to, and you, yourself, command great respect, please take the trouble of replacing our Alliance Hierarch and attend the eting."

"I..."

"Chief, please do not refuse. With the Alliance Hierarch absent, there’s no one besides you in The Celestial Alliance fit for this responsibility." Saying this, he vigorously shook the First Elder’s arm, eager-looking.

The Dark Tower mbers also extended the invitation: "Since that’s the case, please, First Elder."

In any case, anyone from The Celestial Alliance attending the eting would do.

In fact, if it weren’t for showcasing power to The Celestial Alliance, they wouldn’t have been invited to the manor.

This is a Hongn Banquet, obviously designed against The Celestial Alliance. If soone got angry and acted out against Orion Rivers on the spot, it wouldn’t be out of ordinary.

Regarding this, the First Elder always relished it, privately celebrating for days, even repeatedly praying for soone to just assassinate Orion Rivers.

In this way, it would have nothing to do with him.

Who would have thought, at such a crucial mont, Orion Rivers would find an excuse and bail out.

Even worse, they’re making him attend in Orion’s place, knowing full well he could end up as the one being assassinated.

The First Elder had no intention of agreeing; he’s not crazy.

Yet, not only did The Dark Tower agree, The Celestial Alliance people supported it, even his confidants didn’t oppose.

The First Elder resentfully realized he couldn’t rely on any of them.

If the First Elder’s confidants knew his thoughts, they’d feel quite wronged.

Because they genuinely believed that apart from the First Elder, no one else could shoulder this responsibility—and there’s nothing wrong with that.

The First Elder hesitated no longer and planned to refuse, "I am not the Alliance Hierarch, how can I take his place..."

"Chief, please do not be modest, do not refuse." The Third Elder interrupted, shaking his hand vigorously, "In The Umbral Zone, whoever doesn’t know that in the four years the Alliance Hierarch has been absent, it was the First Elder handling things smoothly and orderly, earning universal respect within The Celestial Alliance. Chief, please don’t decline."

With words said to this point, the First Elder couldn’t utter a refusal, he could only go like ducks being herded into attending that wretched eting.

...

Raina North had left the lounge through the window half an hour ago.

After leaving, she found a secluded corner to change her disguise.

Initially, Raina planned to mix into the kitchen; her culinary skills were remarkable, earning her the title of "Chef God" outside, posing as a chef would be a breeze.
