Chapter 215: Sudden Attack (1/2)
Outside the tower, a person, who seemed to be of important status, appeared. Unlike the treatment Ed got, the guard there was extremely careful not to offend the person.
”Miss, you've finally arrived.” As the guard was doing his best to stall the lady, an elderly man with a long mustache appeared. His eyes seemed to be closed at all times, which made him seem asleep. If one did not seem him talk, they wouldn't bother to try and converse with him.
”It was an important summon from you, uncle. And please don't call me Miss, just my name is enough.” The women spoke politely as she waved both of her hands in front of her.
”Ho ho ho. Still quite the lovable little Jillian. Still, my thanks for coming. The tower has been the greatest attraction of this little continent, without it, our government would lose quite the big part of our budget.” The old man was, in fact, a living myth. He was the head of the Central government and had been for over 100 years. He was an Immortal Establishment, but he was no good at fighting.
So, to avoid fights, he created a government centered on himself and got many powerful backers to invest in it. It turned out to be the best choice of his life, as no one dared to cross him now.
”Like I said no need for a 'thanks'. You're an important friend of my father, and he wouldn't allow you to suffer for so long. If not for the current state of the world, he would have sent me months before. I can only offer my apologies on his and my behalf.”
Jillian was a young lady no older than 25 years old. She had beautiful red flowy hair that seemed like burning fire each time the sunlight hit it. Her eyes were golden, which complimented her eyes, making her seem like a phoenix. Despite her young age, she had a high cultivation of Immortal Establishment level 5. On top of that, she was the third daughter of the strongest family in the Central Continent. This was the reason why no one dared to provoke her.
”I won't allow you to say such words again! Your father and I go way back. Neither of us could have survived without the help of the other. I know that your oldest brother was sent to the Bloody war. If not for that, he would have helped me much sooner. We all still mourn his loss” Both the old man and Jillian hung their heads, as a moment of silence passed.
”Still, who could have thought that the monstrous Harald would lose? It seems that the fate of the world now rests in the hands of, not only Blood sect but Glory sect as well.” The old man quickly returned to his previous attitude. Surprisingly, Jillian did as well.
”His loss, as well as my brothers, was his own fault. Neither I nor my father is looking for revenge. Instead, I hope that I would be able to meet the person that managed to slay all five great commanders of the blood army.” A mischievous smile appeared on Jillian's face as she scratched her chin.
Just as she said that everyone felt the earth and the air shake. On top of the tower, twelve figures appeared. The twelve figures descended to the ground, standing right next to the guard, Jillian, and the old man. The three of them shuddered. The old man had gotten a report about someone entering the tower with no regards for the rules. As well as another report about the problem of the tower being the boss of the ninth floor, a serpent.
