274 Dexter Again (1/2)

Just as Loretta's words escaped her mouth, a huge force blasted the door into pieces. With a wave of his hand, Knight erupted a wall from the ground and shielded both him and Lia from getting hit by the debris. When the dust created by the explosion settled down, several people entered through the hold where the door was just a moment ago.

”Miss Loretta, this is?”

Gazing at the scene, the trio who had entered was a little taken aback. Soon after, one of them slightly smiled as he asked.

”Nothing much, I was only having a chat with them” Currently, the coldness in Loretta's eyes had practically disappeared in an instant, as she regained the seemingly gentle demeanor from before, while her tone was neither too friendly nor too cold.

The trio which had entered was obviously Sterling, Richard, and Milan, who were all previously stuck within the formation set by the Soul Strength cultivator. After they heard Loretta's words, their gazes turned towards Knight and Lia, as their eyebrows slightly furrowed. Naturally, they couldn't tell Knight's or Lia's cultivation level. However, they could tell by their robes that had neither the crest of a sect nor a Great house, so they automatically disregarded the fact that Knight and Lia entered the hall before them and started to look down on them in their minds.

The trio's gazes were coated with a suspicious flavor as they looked at Knight and Lia before they withdrew their gazes. The latter's lack of crest could not make them feel even the slightest bit threatened. And As far as the matter that they entered before them, they guessed that these two had some kind of artifact to dispel the formation because many artifacts could do just that, but that didn't mean these two are actually powerful or they thought.

”Miss Loretta, from the looks of it, I'm afraid the Guardian Stone already has an owner right?” Sterling took a look at the empty stone hall, as he gently chuckled and said.

���The three of you were a little bit late.” Loretta blinked as she softly replied.

”Unfortunate, It's all because of that damn formation!”

Upon hearing this, Richard felt helpless, soon after, he acted high-minded as he let out a burst of hearty laughter: ”However, that Miss Loretta could get it means that she is capable. Although this Guardian Stone gives one the potential to reach the Peak Heavenly Level and do miracles inside the body, the three of us do not mind. Even without it, breaking through to the Heavenly level and reaching the Peak Heavenly Level is merely a matter of time.”

” I couldn't have said it better” Loretta softly chuckled. Though the veil covered her face, her beautiful features were still astonishing, causing the fire in Richard's eyes to burn even brighter.

Sterling, Richard, and Milan took little notice of Knight and Lia taking a step forward. Mere rogue cultivators like them were not enough to draw their attention.

”Stop!”

However, though the trio ignored him, Loretta bit her teeth as she shouted out.

”Oh?”

Upon seeing this normally elegant and calm Loretta unexpectedly forget herself in this manner, Sterling and the other two were stunned. Soon after, their eyebrows once again furrowed, as their gazes shifted towards Knight and Lia. They were not fools, Loretta's reaction differed somewhat from usual.

”Miss Loretta, is there anything else?” Knight calmly asked and now, even Lia looked fearless and looked straight into Loretta's eyes because she had seen the true power of Knight.

At this time, she could not possibly speak like before right? However, this woman was intelligent, she only paused a little before her indifferent voice sounded out: ”We still have some things to discuss, Loretta will follow you out and find a place to continue our little chat, how does that sound?”

She said and turned her gaze towards Sterling and the two beside him.

”Master Sterling, Loretta will first bid her farewells. If I have time, I will come and visit again.” After saying these words, Loretta bowed towards Sterling and the other two, before she slowly walked towards Knight under the trio's astonished gazes.

As they stared at Loretta's elegant figure, Sterling's and the other two's eyebrows knitted together even more tightly. At this time, even an idiot could tell that something must have happened between Knight and the former.

Among the trio, the most prideful Richard's eyes could not help but slightly narrow. He stared at Knight's back, as he adjusted the jade ring on his thumb.

While Lia was looking at Loretta, another group of figures rushed in through the hoe. At the head of the group, was Dexter, Martian, and the rest.

When Dexter and the rest entered, they quickly spotted Knight. A sneer flashed across the former's face as they quickly swarmed towards Richard, before softly speaking into his ear.

Witnessing this scene, Knight slightly shook his head thinking about the time he now had to waste with another fight. Lia also knew that these guys were definitely talking about the incident about Knight crushing Dexter's Energy Armament and taking away the Silver Hammer.

”We can go now”

While Lia was counting at the people who would try to attack him, Loretta's indifferent voice once again sounded out.

”Wait a moment.”

However, just as she planned to leave this place first, a calm voice suddenly rang out in front of him as expected.

”It's him”
