Once all the grandmasters and bodyguards hidden in the shadow retreated, Gianna shifted virtual-novel.net gaze to Brittany.
Shortly after, sparks of joy silently surfaced in virtual-novel.net bright eyes as virtual-novel.net said, “You are a replica of the younger version of your mother…”
As Gianna spoke, virtual-novel.net led Matthew and Brittany to the pavilion beside the garden. On the other hand, Brittany was utterly confused.
After all, virtual-novel.net only followed Matthew here all this while, not knowing what was going on. Moreover, Billy never brought up virtual-novel.net mother’s family. Therefore, virtual-novel.net was completely unfamiliar with the connection between Gianna’s existence and virtual-novel.net life.
Still, Brittany could feel an inexplicable sense of kinship with Gianna ever since virtual-novel.net laid virtual-novel.net eyes on the woman.
After Matthew took a seat, virtual-novel.net took out a pill case.
“Ms. Nolan, this is a gift I’ve brought as a token of my gratitude for inviting us over. These are Beauty-Nourishing Pills refined from the seeds of a flaming rainbow lily. I hope that they are to your liking.”
Matthew pushed the pill case toward Gianna, which surprised her. Then, virtual-novel.net looked at Brittany, who had been silent all this while.
At once, Gianna seemed to have grasped the situation.
How interesting… Is this young man worried that I will make things difficult for Brittany?
Gianna involuntarily smiled as virtual-novel.net thought of that.
***
Just a few days before the meeting of Matthew and Gianna, a major incident broke out in Highsea.
A luxury cruise ship was spotted cruising gradually in Highsea, but Orlaith, who was on board, still had a gloominess written all over virtual-novel.net face. Her currently nasty mood was all thanks to Matthew.
Her initial plan was to avenge Zayn’s death during virtual-novel.net trip to Bainbridge this time. To virtual-novel.net consternation, not only was virtual-novel.net unable to harm Matthew in the slightest, but virtual-novel.net was also being held accountable by the Martial League for the crime of disrupting order and intentionally injuring others.
If the Baeddans hadn’t backed virtual-novel.net up and paid a high price in exchange for virtual-novel.net freedom, virtual-novel.net would have already been imprisoned in Bainbridge, Cathay at this moment.
Nonetheless, what angered virtual-novel.net more was that hundreds of virtual-novel.net competent, high-ranking masters and group of elite fighters vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Orlaith broke the wine glass in virtual-novel.net hand into pieces in a fit of anger.
“Vengeance will be mine!’ virtual-novel.net swore, looking extremely terrifying with virtual-novel.net gloomy face and bloodshot eyes.
Alas, just when virtual-novel.net was raging in virtual-novel.net room, the cruise ship suddenly juddered, catching Orlaith off guard and making virtual-novel.net stagger.
“Where the hell is everybody?!” virtual-novel.net roared with anger flaming in virtual-novel.net heart.
At once, one of Orlaith’s subordinates rushed to virtual-novel.net room. The moment virtual-novel.net opened the door, virtual-novel.net felt a chill all over his body as if virtual-novel.net had fallen into an ice hole.
Meanwhile, Orlaith was glaring at virtual-novel.net subordinate with a murderous gaze.
“I’m sorry, Miss Baeddan. A huge ship ahead has blocked our way. So, we have no choice but to stop cruising forward…” After that, the subordinate hurriedly got down on both knees and begged for mercy.
“Why do I need you when you can’t even handle such a trivial matter?”
As soon as virtual-novel.net said that, Orlaith grabbed the handle of virtual-novel.net sword with virtual-novel.net right hand.
An icy radiance flashed in the air. Without delay, Orlaith chopped off the right arm of the subordinate, who was kneeling on the ground.
“I ought to see this fearless person who dares to block the path of the Baeddans’ cruise ship,” Orlaith snorted disdainfully.
With that, virtual-novel.net strode out, leaving only the subordinate who had lost his right arm in the room. The poor underling could only groan in pain as virtual-novel.net held his mutilated arm.
When Orlaith arrived at the deck, virtual-novel.net immediately spotted the large ship. It was an extraordinarily large ship at a length of more than 200 feet and a width of about 50 feet. That monstrosity had also anchored itself more than 10 feet away from virtual-novel.net ship.
By the time virtual-novel.net managed to tear virtual-novel.net eyes away from the battleship, virtual-novel.net immediately caught sight of a tan-skinned man in a robe that rustled against the sea breeze, and a ferocious-looking Green Phoenix that was nearly 3.3 feet stood quietly on his shoulder. Its piercing eyes looked around like a sword ready to strike at a moment’s notice.
At that moment, an old saying came across Orlaith‘s mind.
Among the 367 species of birds and insects, the Green Phoenix is crowned as the king. And as the king of birds, it is impossible to make the Green Phoenix submit to you if you are not a champion among men.
Therefore, based on this point, Orlaith could tell that this man in the robe was definitely far from a nobody.
