Chapter 350: There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch "Warden, just agree~," Qimora said in a coquettish tone, even attempting to grab Aiden's arm. "Just need Divinity equivalent to mastering two more initial-stage divine word incantations, and I can advance to become the Saint of the 'Void' Authority. I can help you deal with that kind of opponent single-handedly. Then I'll hand the remains over to you. You won't lose out..." "Firstly, stop trying to trick me out of Divinity all the time. Even if I don't lose, I don't gain anything either," Aiden quickly scooted his seat slightly further away. "Secondly, don't use that tone with me." That coquettish tone immediately reminded him of a certain succubus in his cell. Due to Fei constant persistence, Aiden now became alert whenever he heard similar intonations; it had become a conditioned reflex. "Oh dear, playing hard to get," Qimora sighed, cutting her bak...

Chapter 349: City Folk Sure Know How to Have Fun The next morning, Silver City suburbs. In a private restaurant within a village, the owner, sporting a handlebar mustache, was cleaning the outdoor tables, setting up and opening large sun umbrellas, then looked up at the blue sky dotted with only a few thin clouds.

The owner was somewhat surprised but quickly reacted: "Oh dear, sorry miss, I was just thinking about something..." He has...

Chapter 348: Negotiating Terms "Was it due to personal resentment, or..." Aiden asked. "Our investigation concluded it was to seize the other's research," Qimora answered. Hearing this, Aiden realized what Sophie had said about Joey Lawson's past actions was likely also true. "You expelled him but didn't deal with him?" Aiden asked. "Witches, warlocks, necromancers, alchemists killing each other isn't anything new. Rather, before the Witch Coven started its activities, that kind of relationship was the norm among witches," Abigail stated calmly. "Even Hasbinis and the others previously thought about finding opportunities to seize Divinity from us. I determined that man's actions were harmful to the Coven's activities, but he wasn't targeting the entire Coven. I had no reason to avenge the dead witches either." "It's precisely your attitude of managing the Coven but not being fully committed that kee...
