She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 865: Wearing Matching Outfits with Emperor Hades?
Raina brushed away Corvus Hades’ outstretched hand and stepped forward to hold Elias Hawthorne’s arm: "No need, I’ll just go in with my Nameless."
Then she turned to look at the patrol guards: "So, can we go in now?"
The patrol guards fearfully replied, "Yes, yes. Master Rise, we deeply apologize for our rudeness. Please forgive us."
Raina nonchalantly responded, "You’re just doing your duty, it’s fine."
The patrol guards bowed deeply: "Thank you for your magnanimity."
The girls who saw this were utterly astonished.
Wh... what...
R... Rise Master?!
The young women couldn’t accept it. They originally thought Raina was just like them, there to find a rich partner, but never expected her to be the legendary Master Rise!
Rise has always been a legendary figure in The Umbral Zone, revered by all factions.
This is because Rise’s influence in The Umbral Zone is exceptionally enormous.
The young girl who tried to act against Raina felt her whole body uncontrollably slump to the ground, her face filled with terror.
What... what had she done?
She had dared to speak harshly to Master Rise, intending to ruin her face. Every word had been disparaging...
"I... Master Rise... I... I didn’t mean it... Please forgive me," the girl apologized in fear, on the verge of tears.
Raina, however, didn’t look at her. Holding Elias Hawthorne’s arm, she walked towards The Grand Central Hall amidst the crowd, as if she hadn’t heard the girl’s words. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
When Raina and her entourage disappeared through the doorway, murmurs erupted around them, sparking fierce discussions.
"Oh my god, I never thought I’d be so lucky today, to see Master Rise up close. I’ve got bragging rights for a year."
"I heard that not long ago, Rise played only half a piece, yet those present greatly benefited and have been pleading with the master to hold a concert, willing to meet any conditions."
"I used to think Master Rise was so low-key because of her average looks, but I never imagined she’s this beautiful. Now I get it; maybe she’s keeping a low profile because of her looks. Just her looks alone are enough to drive people crazy, not to mention her talent. How can anyone cope?"
Thinking of the young girl in a pure white dress with long hair draped over her shoulders, everyone was mesmerized.
So this is Master Rise, truly beautiful.
The leading girl felt not excited like the others, but as if she had fallen into an abyss, trembling in fear.
Others laughed and said to her, "Relax, don’t be so worried. Master Rise is someone high above. Someone like you isn’t even worth her dealing with."
"Selling yourself and assuming everyone else does too, being this dumb is truly rare. Never seen anything like it."
Listening to the gossip around her, the girl’s face turned pale with anger, but she couldn’t say a word.
She regretted it deeply, wondering how she could have known that one so attractive would be Rise? Why rely on talent when looks would suffice?
...
Raina, holding Elias Hawthorne’s arm, moved in the direction of The Grand Central Hall, led by the patrol guards, in complete silence along the way.
Corvus Hades watched unpleasantly, casting a sidelong glance: "Raina, don’t you have something to say to me?"
Hearing her name from Corvus’ mouth, Raina bristled. She quickly scanned the surroundings, relaxed only when she confirmed that no one noticed.
She gritted her teeth and furiously whispered to Corvus, "Are you crazy, shouting randomly! And how on earth did you find out?"
"Find out what?"
Raina glared at him: "Playing dumb, are you? Don’t tell me you’ve already forgotten what you called me just now?"
"I haven’t forgotten. How could I?" Corvus smiled, looking at Raina’s fiery demeanor: "I just didn’t think in time, what exactly you thought I knew, Raina? Void? Or l..."
"Stop! Shut up!" Raina interrupted furiously before he could fully utter The Rakshasa’s name.
Corvus looked at Raina, smiling innocently.
Raina took a deep breath, striving to stay calm: "Tell me, how exactly did you find out my identity?"
Corvus had long known she was a woman, but a woman’s identity didn’t equal her true identity—and in this vast world, countless women existed in The Umbral Zone.
Corvus lightly smiled: "Is it that hard? No, not really. If one is determined, discovering such things is simple."
Raina: "..."
Raina could not help but let out a sarcastic ’ha’.
If it really were that simple, her cover would have been blown long ago!
Clearly Corvus, like a persistent hound, tracked down a clue, investigating her thoroughly.
Raina took a deep breath: "What do you actually want?"
Corvus lifted an eyebrow: "Can I want anything?"
"You can, as long as my man agrees." Raina spoke while snuggling closer to Elias Hawthorne’s embrace.
Elias Hawthorne wrapped an arm around Raina’s slender waist, his deep dark eyes looking towards Corvus.
Their gazes clashed mid-air.
In that connection, sparks seemed to ignite.
Even the surrounding air became tense and thick, making breathing difficult.
Others stayed at a distance; they hadn’t heard clearly what Emperor Hades and Raina had been discussing.
Once they realized the situation, they were shocked.
What’s going on here?
The Martial Arts Conference hasn’t even started, and it’s not time to divide the spoils. Why are tensions so high?
When did the relationship between The Hades Clan and The Dark Tower become so strained?
"Huh." Corvus chuckled softly: "I hadn’t even started anything, and the Lord of The Dark Tower is already this riled up. If I really made a move, wouldn’t you explode?"
Elias Hawthorne’s gaze grew colder, sharp as a blade: "Emperor Hades can try. The Dark Tower accepts the challenge."
"Great, let’s see. The Hades Clan has indeed been idle too long." As he spoke, Emperor Hades let his gaze linger on Raina, examining her thoroughly.
Facing Corvus’ gaze, Raina felt very displeased, "What? You want to try me out too?"
Corvus paid no mind to Raina’s fiery response and chuckled: "Raina, wearing matching outfits with me looks beautiful today."
Raina exploded in anger: "I’m not wearing matching outfits with you! Nameless and I are the ones wearing couple’s clothes!"
Raina protested adamantly.
But looking at the three outfits, the evidence seemed inconclusive...
Dammit, these clothes did indeed look just like Corvus’ outfits, like they were couple attire...
