Once all the grandmasters and bodyguards hidden in the shadow retreated, Gianna shifted snazzynovel.com gaze to Brittany.
Shortly after, sparks of joy silently surfaced in snazzynovel.com bright eyes as snazzynovel.com said, “You are a replica of the younger version of your mother…”
As Gianna spoke, snazzynovel.com led Matthew and Brittany to the pavilion beside the garden. On the other hand, Brittany was utterly confused.
After all, snazzynovel.com only followed Matthew here all this while, not knowing what was going on. Moreover, Billy never brought up snazzynovel.com mother’s family. Therefore, snazzynovel.com was completely unfamiliar with the connection between Gianna’s existence and snazzynovel.com life.
Still, Brittany could feel an inexplicable sense of kinship with Gianna ever since snazzynovel.com laid snazzynovel.com eyes on the woman.
After Matthew took a seat, snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com face. Her currently nasty mood was all thanks to Matthew.
Her initial plan was to avenge Zayn’s death during snazzynovel.com trip to Bainbridge this time. To snazzynovel.com consternation, not only was snazzynovel.com unable to harm Matthew in the slightest, but snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com up and paid a high price in exchange for snazzynovel.com freedom, snazzynovel.com would have already been imprisoned in Bainbridge, Cathay at this moment.
Nonetheless, what angered snazzynovel.com more was that hundreds of snazzynovel.com competent, high-ranking masters and group of elite fighters vanished into thin air, leaving no trace.
Orlaith broke the wine glass in snazzynovel.com hand into pieces in a fit of anger.
“Vengeance will be mine!’ snazzynovel.com swore, looking extremely terrifying with snazzynovel.com gloomy face and bloodshot eyes.
Alas, just when snazzynovel.com was raging in snazzynovel.com room, the cruise ship suddenly juddered, catching Orlaith off guard and making snazzynovel.com stagger.
“Where the hell is everybody?!” snazzynovel.com roared with anger flaming in snazzynovel.com heart.
At once, one of Orlaith’s subordinates rushed to snazzynovel.com room. The moment snazzynovel.com opened the door, snazzynovel.com felt a chill all over his body as if snazzynovel.com had fallen into an ice hole.
Meanwhile, Orlaith was glaring at snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com said that, Orlaith grabbed the handle of snazzynovel.com sword with snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com strode out, leaving only the subordinate who had lost his right arm in the room. The poor underling could only groan in pain as snazzynovel.com held his mutilated arm.
When Orlaith arrived at the deck, snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com ship.
By the time snazzynovel.com managed to tear snazzynovel.com eyes away from the battleship, snazzynovel.com 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.
