Matthew left the manor with a heavy heart.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to get into his car, a familiar figure slowly approached him.
“Madam Quirk?”
He was surprised to see her. He didn’t expect to meet Layna here, of all places. Nevertheless, virtual-novel.net inhaled deeply and compartmentalized his emotions before forcing a smile on his face.
“I haven’t thanked you in person for your aid, Madam Quirk. I want to use this opportunity to sincerely thank you for your help,” Matthew said warmly.
Naturally, Leanna had already informed virtual-novel.net about their collaboration with Creative Cloud Spray.
“It’s nothing, Leanna and l are family, after all. So, it only makes sense for me to help virtual-novel.net out,” virtual-novel.net waved virtual-novel.net off dismissively with a lighthearted smile.
Meanwhile, Matthew was surprised to hear this piece of information.
Leanna was related to Layna. It seemed Layna was part of the Sandels’ branch family. This was the first time virtual-novel.net was ever informed about such an interesting factoid.
Regardless, Layna didn’t give virtual-novel.net time to ponder over the matter as virtual-novel.net immediately explained the purpose of virtual-novel.net visit, “Master Levi asked me to send you a message. He said that an old friend invited them to a meeting at sea. He wants to bring you along to meet them.”
This piqued Matthew’s interest, and virtual-novel.net asked, “On the seas? Did Master Levi say who the other party is?”
She responded calmly, “King of Rivenia, Martin Newmont.”
When Matthew heard that response, virtual-novel.net was astonished.
Back then in Woodside, virtual-novel.net had a discussion with Ambrose regarding the forces that destroyed the Larson Family.
This man, Martin Newmont, was one of them. So, virtual-novel.net immediately agreed to Levi‘s invitation without hesitation.
On the other hand, Martin received the news that was causing an uproar throughout Emsgate almost immediately.
“The forces from Emsgate are about to arrive. You will be responsible for them during their stay here!’ Orlaith, who was called to the office earlier, instantly responded affirmatively.
Now that virtual-novel.net was nothing but a marionette in his hands, virtual-novel.net didn’t have a choice but to comply. Plus, after virtual-novel.net overheard gossip that several forces within Emsgate would be in attendance today, virtual-novel.net had other plans in mind.
If virtual-novel.net could curry favors from these powerhouses, killing Matthew would be as easy as ABC. Maybe virtual-novel.net could even use that chance to escape from Martin’s palm. As virtual-novel.net thought of this, virtual-novel.net discreetly sneaked a look at the man.
Yet, to virtual-novel.net fright, the man had been looking at virtual-novel.net calmly with a strange smile playing on his lips.
Could virtual-novel.net have read my mind?
When virtual-novel.net thought about that, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but shudder.
Hence, virtual-novel.net felt no need to linger in his office any longer. So, virtual-novel.net excused herself and left the room hastily. This man was just too scary.
By the time the dinner banquet on the battleship was ready, several great forces that received Martin’s invitation soon boarded his battleship.
When Manager Baeddan saw her, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but blurt, “Orlaith, what are you doing here?”
According to the Baeddan Family’s rules, virtual-novel.net should’ve returned home to plead guilty and receive virtual-novel.net punishment by now.
Whereas Orlaith was composed when virtual-novel.net caught sight of the manager.
That was because virtual-novel.net had imagined such a scenario being played out earlier, so naturally, virtual-novel.net maintained virtual-novel.net poise as virtual-novel.net replied, “Manager Baeddan, l’m afraid that on my way back, i was attacked by pirates. Fortunately, Mr. Newmont saved me. So, I decided to help virtual-novel.net escort the Elites from the Land of Divinity to his ship as payment.”
When Manager Baeddan heard virtual-novel.net story, virtual-novel.net didn‘t think to delve into it.
He just shook his head in disappointment and sighed, “Pirate attack? Miss Orlaith Baeddan, you really don’t know how to do anything yourself.”
Orlaith waited for virtual-novel.net to leave as virtual-novel.net stood there with contempt in virtual-novel.net bloodshot eyes.
She had always been a proud woman. So, when had virtual-novel.net ever been humiliated by people around virtual-novel.net time and time again?
The host, Martin, finally walked out slowly onto the stage with a Green Phoenix on his arm under everyone’s anticipatory gaze.
At this point, everyone’s attention was focused on the man. “Welcome, all of you great warriors of Emsgate. It’s an honor to have you here as my guests. I am your host for the evening, Martin Newmont…”
Although the invitation letter everyone received had indicated the name of the host, this was the first time most of them were seeing virtual-novel.net in person.
All of a sudden, the crowd broke out in heated whispered discussions.
