She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 943: Racing Down the Road to Ruin

"That’s true, that’s true." Pip Finch nodded, then couldn’t help but complain, "Why didn’t you just say it clearly in the first place? What’s with all the beating around the bush? Isn’t it troublesome?"

Third Elder: "..."

Wasn’t he already clear enough?

How much clearer did he need to be? How exactly should he make it clearer?

It’s just that their Leader Finch can’t grasp it, right?

But there’s no point in discussing this further; what’s most important now is the current situation.

Third Elder instructed his subordinate, "Go calm them down first, entertain them well, and under no circumstances let them fight. Leader Finch and I will be there soon."

The subordinate nodded solemnly and hurried off.

Pip Finch was anxiously pacing in circles, "Ah, ah, ah, Corvus Hades and Brother Nameless are both here. What to do? What to do? Who should I choose?"

Third Elder glanced at Pip Finch, "Earlier, you were keen on inviting both of them over."

"Yes." Pip Finch replied confidently, "Corvus Hades and Brother Nameless are like Orchid and Chrys, each has their strengths. Giving up on either is painful, and I only have Orion’s best interests at heart. Abandoning either feels wrong and such a shame."

As he watched Pip Finch shake his head and sigh, Third Elder felt it was truly lamentable.

Suddenly, Third Elder began to suspect that Pip Finch was sent by their arch-enemies. Otherwise, why would he seem hell-bent on dragging The Celestial Alliance down a reckless path?

...

After discussing with Pip Finch, Third Elder decided they would split up, with one entertaining the Lord of the Dark Tower and the other greeting Emperor Hades.

But who would have thought that the two of them had already gathered together?

They sat in the same hall, each occupying one side, accompanied by their respective entourage.

"With Corvus Hades and the Lord of the Dark Tower gracing us with their presence, The Celestial Alliance is truly honored."

Seeing the two in such friendly spirits, Quinn Thorne, after some polite small talk, eagerly inquired, "Where’s your Alliance Hierarch? Why hasn’t he come out?"

Pip Finch and Third Elder immediately became alert upon hearing this.

Fearing Pip Finch might blurt out something rash, Third Elder spoke before he could open his mouth, "Apologies, our Alliance Hierarch is unwell today. If Lord of Vermilion has any matters, you can directly speak with me."

"I know, that’s why we’re here to visit since we heard your Alliance Hierarch was unwell. So, I’m afraid Third Elder can’t handle this on your own this time."

Wraith also stepped forward, saying, "Emperor Hades of the Hades Clan has come to see Alliance Leader Rivers, and I hope Third Elder can relay the message so we can meet Alliance Leader Rivers."

"This..." Third Elder was so anxious that sweat started forming on his brow, wondering how to handle the situation.

Pip Finch, catching Third Elder’s pleading glance, also began to sweat.

Pip Finch suddenly realized the situation was a bit tricky.

Corvus Hades and Brother Nameless were clearly in a standoff.

If Orion were to appear now, he might face the legendary Asura, a truly perilous situation.

But if Orion doesn’t show up, then it’s he and Third Elder who will have to face this Asura.

Third Elder seemed unfazed, being seasoned and crafty, but Pip felt rather pitiful, young and inexperienced as he was.

Suddenly, Pip Finch regretted not attending the officially convened Martial Arts Conference in Lune’s place today.

Though a bit troublesome, with those old men rambling on, he could have just let it in one ear and out the other.

Plus, he might have had a chance to snatch some lobster or hairy crab, anything to fill his stomach, which would be better than the current mess.
