A Film Queen

Chapter 408

Leon remained silent. King, who had been excited in front of the computer, responded to Oliver first. “Raiden and

Nimbus are always together. Isn't it normal for them to cback together?”

Oliver shook his head firmly, his tone full of certainty. “No, it's not. This tis different.”

Hearing this, King seemed to realise something and rarely agreed with Oliver. “Hmm, it does seem different ...

“Previously, when they saw us, they were haughty, but they knew their limits. They understood that if a fight

broke out, no one would benefit. But now, their arrogance suggests they're not afraid of a fight.”

Oliver slapped his thigh, nodding frantically. “Yes, exactly!”

Though King’s description seemed baseless, it indeed reflected the current situation with Raiden and Nimbus.

In the Ghost Sect, the First and Second Branch Sect had close ties, just like the Third and Fourth Branch Sect.

These four branch sects were evenly matched in terms of military strength and weaponry. If a real fight broke

out, neither side would gain an advantage.

Their superficial peace largely depended on the fact that the Ghost Sect didn’t have a suprleader, or a sect

leader. Without a sect leader, there was no hierarchy; the four branch sects were equals, with none superior to

the others.

But now, it was clear that Raiden’s Third Branch Sect and Nimbus’s Fourth Branch Sect were trying to disrupt this

balance. It was easy to guess their intentions.

King's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. “Could it be that Raiden and Nimbus...”

Before he could finish, Oliver slapped his thigh again, eyes wide with excitement, interrupting him. “I know! |

knew something was off but couldn’t put my finger on it!

‘They must have gone to Halturia to visit the Lotus Temple! Hmph!”

King sighed helplessly.

So, what am | expecting just now?

Why had | listened to him knowing that his brain doesn’t work the sway as ordinary people?

Sensing King’s odd look, Oliver quickly said, “You guys don’t know. There's an old monk at Lotus Temple named

Nirvana. It was rumoured that he had divine powers! He could delve into past lives and see through the present

and future. He also understands astronomy and geography. In short, he knows everything!”

King laughed at his silliness. “So?”

“Hmph, so they must have visited Master Nirvana. After getting blessed, they're not afraid of us anymore. That

explains why Raiden and Nimbus suddenly changed their attitudes. Right, it must be that! | should have visited

the temple while | was in Halturia too. Now | have to put up with them, d*mn!”

Idi*t! King cursed in his mind.

Seemingly unable to bear his stupidity, King turned to

Leon, who had been resting with his eyes closed, and asked, “Leon, what do you think?”

This time, Leon opened his eyes.

His gaze was clear.

His voice was as cool and decisive as ever. “Just as you suspected.”

King nodded. Since Leon had reached the sconclusion, it proved they weren't wrong.

Such coincidences were unlikely. The new sect leader was in Halturia, and after Raiden and Nimbus went there,

they underwent a tic change.

Linking these events, it wasn't hard to guess what had happened.

They must have encountered the new sect leader. If things went as expected, they might have already gained

the new sect leader's favour, explaining their audacity.

At this moment, Oliver popped up again while blinking his bright eyes. “Leon, do you also think that my

deduction is correct? It’s all because of Master Nirvana, right? | always knew my intelligence was superb!”

Sigh.

Where did he get this confidence?

If the monk was truly that effective, would the Ghost Sect’s stalemate have lasted for so many years? Do you

think the high priest was useless?

King rubbed his temples and yanked Oliver back by his collar. “Stay here. Adults are talking, kids shouldn't

interrupt!”

To Oliver, this was a blatant insult. “Say that again if you dare! Who are you calling a kid? I'm not a kid!”

King smirked, eyeing him from head to toe before focusing on a certain area. “Oh? Are you sure?’

Noticing King’s gaze, Oliver's face turned red with anger. “You!”

Sensing Oliver's anger, Leon quickly intervened to stop their childish bickering. “Enough, you two. Is this the

tto fool around?”

Oliver was quite afraid of Leon. He immediately sat down after hearing Leon’s words. “You're biased! He started

it!” He mumbled resentfully.

Leon smiled and ruffled his hair. “I'm not. | know you're the best. You're forgiving and you shouldn't stoop to his

level.”

Though Leon was just brushing him off, Oliver was a sucker for this kind of talk. He immediately said proudly, “Of

course, | won't argue with him.”

King rolled his eyes tically.

Leon was right; their current situation was indeed grim.

King dropped his playful demeanour and seriously looked at Leon. “What should we do now?”

A cold, murderous glint flashed in Leon's eyes. “We'll kill her!”

King was shocked. “What? Kill her? Didn't you say you wouldn’t want to be a part of this mess?”

Leon's stance was firm. “Change of plans. Given the current situation, we must prioritise ourselves first.”

King fell silent.

Leon was right. Killing the new sect leader was their quickest and safest option.

Nimbus and Raiden clearly intended to pledge loyalty to the new sect leader, who seemed to be pleased with

them based on their behaviour. This was a bad sign for their side.
