Chapter 3717 A Mere Bluesky Sect
Gloria had made plans for almost all the factors she could think of, but still, she was not confident in winning the battle. Although Santino had stated earlier that he would cut down anyone in his way, Gloria wondered if those people included the ones from Bluesky Sect.
After all, she had heard that Hansel and Thundera were quite close. There was no guarantee that Bluesky Sect would not try to avenge them if she were to kill them.
Will Santino really keep his promise by then? “We have to check this over one last time, or else it’s too risky.”
With that in mind, Gloria went to Grant to tell him about the worries she had. By then, Grant was completely head over heels for Gloria. When he heard that the beautiful woman was plagued with worries, he decided to bring the Paladins to test things out.
Of course, Grant had plans of his own. He was going to tell Santino exaggerated tales of how arrogant Hansel and the others were.
“Don’t worry, Gloria. I’ll do my best to settle this for you,” Grant reassured her. Gloria beamed and replied, “Thank you very much, Grant.”
Gloria’s smile made Grant’s day, and he became even more eager to show off his capabilities to her. Soon, a few of them came to the room Santino was resting at. “Why have you come to me?” Santino queried.
Grant politely said, “Santino, there is something I wish to discuss with you. It’s something we wouldn’t dare to simply decide on.”
“Stop beating around the bush,” Santino impatiently said.
It was then Grant hastily explained, “Here’s the thing. We were forced to ally ourselves with the Ecclesiastic Order previously. The young master of Bluesky Sect, Hansel Xanadu, once told us that he would kill us all if we didn’t form an alliance with him. I’m sure that you know their numbers surpass ours, as well as their capabilities, so—”
Before Grant was done speaking, Santino cut him off, “B*stards! Losers! How can Void Sect be oppressed by a small sect? Even if you’re not the top Paladins around, you’re still elite apprentices of our sect. Could you not have a little more courage?”
Santino was a prideful man, and he never thought that Grant and the others would be that cowardly. Thus, he was livid.
“Santino, please calm down. We were too cautious, and that was why we ended up humiliating Void Sect’s reputation,” Grant said, using a reasonable excuse to explain his inadequacy. Then, he sang flattering praises to Santino to persuade him, “Now that we have you with us, we have regained our confidence. Thus, we’re hoping for your aid when the time comes to rid Thundera and the others.”
Grant’s flattery worked.
“Are you genuinely hesitating on something as trivial as this?” Santino gritted out before huffing. “Fear nothing and just do it. I’ll bear the responsibility for this.”
“But, Santino, what if Bluesky Sect sends their best men to this?” Gloria wasted no time asking.
Santino rose to his feet and scoffed in disdain. “A mere Bluesky Sect means nothing to me. We’ll ignore them if they choose to hold themselves back, but if they foolishly decide to retaliate, I shall wipe them all out. However, there is one thing. I want you all to bring the magical herbs and the child by Levi’s side back in one piece. Do you understand?”
Santino had long heard about how Levi had countless magical herbs and about how he had an unusually gifted daughter.
If he were to keep her under his wing, she might grow up to be someone useful to him.
As a matter of fact, Santino was willing to kill anyone who stood in his way of getting those things.
“Understood!”
