402 Leaked (2/2)

As soon as they exited the room, some people entered Albert's room and went towards the bookshelf. This act didn't need words to explain, what it signified was very clear as well.

As they walked through the tall and wide halls of the City Lord's Palace, Albert and Raven could feel the solemnness in the atmosphere. Raul didn't say a word, he just asked them to follow him and the three of them eventually reached outside.

They then made way towards a wide open space. As soon as they arrived, Raven was surprised to see a large amount of people present in there.

Every single one of them are wearing some sort of a uniform. At this point, Raven didn't need any further confirmations. It was clear that these people are from the Martial Emperor Sect.

Raven could feel multitudes of auras congregating in front of them. Without a doubt, none of these people are easy to deal with.

”Greetings City Lord!”

”Greetings Elder Raul!”

Raul was welcomed by the greetings of everyone present, but Raul seemingly not heard any of it. He coldly snorted and made way towards the rest of his clan with large strides, Albert and Raven was following him from behind.

As Raul was about to join the rest of his clan, some people suddenly descended and blocked his way.

This group consisted of four people, three old guys and a young man with an ethereal face and a graceful bearing. This youth then smiled and said: ”You finally came. Are the preparations ready?”

Raven briefly glanced at Raul's face. He could tell that Raul wanted to smash this youth's face until no recognizes him anymore but couldn't. Instead, an indifferent expression surface on his face as he replied:

”Not yet Sect Master. I implore everyone to wait for a bit more time while we finish our preparations.”

'So he's the Sect Master.' Raven murmured inwardly. He briefly inspected the handsome youth in front of him and thought: 'He's an old monster, he's just using some sort of technique to appear young. I'm afraid that this guy is a bit over five thousand years old. His potential is a bit mediocre, early stage of Knight Emperor Realm for a period of five thousand years. He's probably looking for lucky encounters to raise his cultivation.'

It was a good thing that Raven didn't say this out loud, else he would've provoked the ire of this old monster in youth's clothing. The subject about his appearance and his talents are considered as a taboo topic to him. It was unknown how many people he killed just because they provoked him.

'Brother, do you see the guy who leaked the news anywhere?' Raven sent via voice transmission to Albert.

'Its that Old Tool behind them.' Albert replied.

Raven's eyes unknowingly landed on the old guy who's wearing the same uniform as the rest of disciples, his eyes narrowed for a bit but no one saw it. He just followed behind Raul and his faced show nothing but indifference.

”Is that so?” He youth raised a brow and continued: ”Well, you always know where to find me if you need some help.”

After saying that, the sect master and his escorts no longer blocked their way and allowed them to proceed. As they group crossed paths, Raven saw how the servant's expression changed from a subservient one into a mocking one when he looked at Raul and Albert. He even heard him sneer as they went past them, causing Albert to grip his fists tightly until they turn white.

Coldness emerged from Raven's eyes. He thought about some things for a bit before a cold sneer hung on his lips. Very quickly, his expression turned indifferent as they now approached the rest of the Highlander Clan.

Raul briefly looked at his clan members before releasing a defeated sigh. He then said: ”I hope all of us could remember today's humiliation. Learn from it and always keep in mind to remain cautious.”

”Today, we are forced to suffer this grievance. If we are fated for it, then It doesn't matter if they covet our inheritance, everything will fall onto our hands in the end. Make sure to play by the rules and do your best to seek great opportunities in this secret realm.”

”We hear and obey, Grand Elder!”

Raul then faced Raven as said: ”I'll be troubling you then, Little Friend Raven.”
