Chapter 132: Not everything should be resolved with violence

Mathias Mills was sitting in his carriage with his hand bracing his head. A flash of anger could be seen on his tanned face, his sharp gaze stared at the lines of the tree they were passing by. In front of him, a middle-aged woman was pouring him tea. Despite the black cloak covering her face, her movements weren't interrupted by the cloak at all.

"Drink this tea, Sect Leader, it'll soothe your anger," the woman said, if one was to look closely, they could see the burn mark within those shadows of the cloak.

"Nothing can soothe my anger, Ella" Gritting his teeth, Mathias answered.

"Well, something should, before we make it to the Sunrise sect, Sect Leader" Without letting the tea go to waste, Ella took a sip instead of giving him.

Mathias's gaze turned from the scenery outside to Ella, who was now leisurely enjoying the tea, "I'm saying this for your own good, Sect Leader, don't underestimate that Ghost. Nowadays these young freaks disobey the laws of nature like eating breakfast"

"Meaning?" Mathias's tone was filled with rage, she knew he is boiling in anger yet she continued with paying no mind to his mood, "Meaning, you can't weigh him by just looking at his cultivation level, I heard he killed a Body Strengthening stage cultivator when he was at a Foundation stage. Funny thing is, he was also a Sect Leader"

"Are you implying-"

"I'm implying nothing, I just want you to be calm when we talk to him, don't be rash" Ella interrupted Mathias, advising him not to be rash except she wanted him to be.

"If you don't mind Sect Leader, let me do the talking"

A flash of anger ran through his face, he reached out, then he grabbed Ella by her neck as he said " I do mind because I'm the Sect Leader, not you" he was squeezing the life out of Ella, she was helpless. Only after a few moments of torturing her, he let go of her neck,

"Don't think I dont know you eyeing the sect leader seat for yourself but you can't be the face of the sect with a face like that" A murderous glare could be seen in her eyes but the only thing she could do is swallow her anger and wait for the right time to strike him down.

"Just wait until I reach the Core Formation stage, I'll rip you to pieces," thought Ella.

*****************************

The rest of the journey was filled with silence in the carriage until they saw lines of carriages and crowds of people. Ella recognized most of the carriages belonged to the noble houses of Sarton, her disciples told her about the Majestic and its business yet seeing with her own eyes surprised her nonetheless.

The crowd was queuing from the foothills to the Majestic which was located atop the mountain in front of them. They had to reach the mountaintop to reach their meeting spot, but their path was blocked by these carriages and crowds.

"Stop!"

Just as they were about to stop behind the last carriage in the queue to the top, they heard the voice of a teenager. Ella looked outside through the window to see a blonde-haired youngster waiting for them in front of the carriage.

"Sect Leader Mathias, Elder Ella, welcome to Sunrise sect. Follow me, Sect leader Claire is waiting for you" seeing there's no way for them to reach the top in the carriage, Ella and Mathias stepped out of the carriage to follow this youngster.

"Why didnt Claire come to receive me?" the moment Mathias stepped out, he scowled at the youngster while Ella just stood back waiting for the events to unfold

"Sect Leader Claire" the young man emphasized the words 'Sect Leader' and continued," is handling something very important, so she sent me to personally receive you and lead you to her, if you please, follow me"

The way the youngster answered, sparked the fuel of anger inside Mathias. The youngster was just a Body Refining stage cultivator, level 1 at that yet he showed no fear seeing a Core Formation cultivator like Mathias.

"Lead the way kid" Ella was bouncing in joy, the more anger Mathias gets, the better the chance for him to start a battle with Ghost.

With a nod towards Ella, he turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain. while they were following the young man, Ella saw a group of girls in revealing dresses "SilverMoon girls" Ella recognized

The young man immediately waved his hands at them, almost like he was instructed to, "Hey, brother Ghost said he has new pills and potions that would help your Senior sister Kaplan, remind her to visit him"

"Will do Jack!" The girls gave a flying kiss to the young man, making all the youngsters in the crowd look at him with envy.

"So Jack, are they friends, Ghost, and Sadie, the core disciple of SilverMoon?" Ella pondered

"Of course, Elder Ella" Jack was leading them through the long route so they could notice the renovation sites. Although Mathias paid little interest in the renovation works due to his anger, what he saw was bewildered him.

This was not the desolate place he saw a couple of years ago, everything now seemed improved. Those once cobwebbed worn-out buildings were being built and renovated, workers were reconstructing the old paths made of stones with marble tiles, another group was trimming the overgrown shrubs and bushes which previously made the area look untended.

Ella saw the Sunrise sect disciples before, at that time, they wore the bright orange uniforms but now, including the youngster in front of her, the disciples wore clothes that were either black or closer to the color black.

"Oh, I almost forgot" Jack bit his tongue, taking out two pamphlets with the Sunrise sect symbol drawn on them.

He then handed over the pamphlets to Mathias and Ella, without even taking a single glance, Mathias crumbled his pamphlet and threw it away. Ella on the other hand took a closer look, "I'd love to take a tour around your sect Jack" Mathias threw a cold glance at her as she shrugged,

"What? Since you don't want me do the talking, let me at least do this" Mathias saw no trouble in letting her take a stroll around this place, it was not like she could do anything by taking a tour.

"Wonderful, Elder Ella, we'll begin our tour after leaving Sect Leader Mathias at Sect Leader Claire's residence" Jack clapped his hands, almost sighing inside.

After taking another hundred or so steps through the construction site, they reached lines of individual houses which looked majestic, grand even. Each house was almost finished but even at this stage, that triangle roof on the front, three long chimneys on the top, that white and royal blue paint gave each house a sumptuous characteristic.

This time, Mathias's eyes widened in surprise as he followed the youngster to the house which was just a couple of weeks from getting finished.

"Take a break, people '' Jack shouted at the people who were placing windows, sandpapering the walls to start the painting works as well as cultivating the ground in front of the house to ornamenting the house with plans and such.

Jack's relationship with Gaya and Ghost gave him a certain pull within the sect. He had become the go-to guy to contact Gaya or Ghost, this increased his reputation among his fellow disciples, especially among girls.

"Sect Leader Mathias, Sect Leader Claire is waiting for you inside"

*************************

"Is this where the famous Ghost of River town lives?" Ella asked Jack looking at the one house which had no renovation going on. Except for its worn outlook, she could see nobles and the rich going inside using the side entrance and coming out with a wide grin on their faces.

"We are waiting for the rest of the buildings to get renovated, Elder Ella, after that, we'll turn this shabby old house into a mansion worthy for our senior brother Ghost and senior sister Aelia" Jack wouldn't let anyone look down on Ghost or Aelia.

"Go through the front entrance, Elder Ella, brother Ghost is waiting for you" Ella wasn't surprised to hear Jack because, on the pamphlet he gave her before, there were three golden words flickered, 'Meet Me-Ghost'.Those words were enchanted to let only the holder, Ella see the words, not Mathias.

She nodded before taking slow steps towards the door. Even with a Body Strengthening level 9 cultivation, she couldn't help but feel the seed of fear growing inside her regardless of Ghost's cultivation level.

Creak!

With a long sigh of a mix of fear and excitement for this meeting, she opened the door to be stunned by things in front of her. From the outside, the house looked nothing but shabby, old and worn out yet on the inside, there were fancy cushions, sofas, tables, and many other things that could only be seen in a place like King's palace.

"Welcome Elder Ella" her gaze moved from the fancy sofas to the direction of the voice. She saw a youngster in a black long sleeve tunic and trousers. His raven black hair danced around his broad shoulder, a warm smile could be seen on his perfectly structured face. Through the transparent black long sleeves he wore, she could see the lines of the six-pack abs and big biceps.

Her eyes were momentarily glued to this handsome man she had ever met,

"How long are you planning to stand there Elder Ella?"
