Chapter 1121: Adversaries’ Dinner

After some time, Minos and his wives learned a little more about the Coleman family and the command area of that organization.

They had encountered some elders on their way. Still, Minos had not accepted pressure from any of them, having just chatted with those who wanted to get to know him.

After an afternoon there, Minos met some of his cousins, distant relatives of his but with whom he was close.

Besides business, there was not much for them to talk about since, besides the years of distance, many of these people were elders of the same generation as Oswald. So they did not have much in common.

In this way, the four left that area for another of their points of interest, where they intended to do business with alchemists.

Minos had left the array masters area for last because he had learned that this would be the most challenging place to do business in this sect.

...

The sunset embellished the horizon of Clouds City, while a young couple was at this very moment eating in one of the high-end restaurants in this city.

This restaurant had nine beautiful stars, indicating that the head chef there was someone of high-level grade-3 classification!

As such, everything there, from the floor to the fixtures, was of a high standard, a luxury for few in this world, where the simplest dishes served could induce breakthroughs in low-level people.

Right next to a large glass window, to which the people there could see the beautiful view of this city and the sunset, Lance and Ivory were eating together.

"I heard that you tried to meet with that Minos..." Lance said as he cut a piece of meat on his plate and had a little smile at the corners of his mouth.

Ivory heard this and looked at the glass of wine to her right as she stopped chewing what was in her mouth.

She closed her eyes, swallowed her food, and looked at Lance. "Yeah, you did that too, didn't you?"

"Sure, but he hid like a coward so he wouldn't face me..." Lance said before bringing up the main point. "But my point is, what's the reason for that? Ivory, there's no reason for us to fight over it. I'm going to become the sect master. This person won't be able to compete with me, and..."

"And you won't stand a chance as long as we are at war against the Saints Killing Sect."

She did not answer anything right away, and then he said. "Why do you want to make things difficult? We can unite and lead the sect together!" Lance placed one of his hands on Ivory's right hand as he said such a thing.

"Tsk!"

Ivory did not like such an attitude and removed her hand from that place. "Don't talk nonsense. I've already said I won't marry you."

"Why not? Is there anyone better than me? Why do you reject me so much?" He questioned her, feeling bad that, once again, this woman refused him.

He had been trying to win Ivory's favor for over 30 years. But, unfortunately, in all that time, the most he had managed was to become close enough to her that they would go out to dinner or similar things.

But there was no reason for her to accept him since she had no attraction or favorable enough feelings to make her even consider it.

Being loved was nice, but one person's love was no reason for another to love them back!

Ivory felt that Lance was not so bad, and despite her rivalry with him and the Terry family, she even considered him a friend. But that was all. She had never allowed him to touch her body, nor would she marry him.

And with that, she even felt a little bad for this fool, who had pursued her for so long, having even maintained celibacy for all that time.

"Sigh..."

'Why doesn't he just understand?' She sighed. 'This insistence only makes me lose more respect for him and creates these unnecessary tense moments.'

She placed her forks on the table and sipped some of her wine. After about ten seconds, Ivory said. "I have told you many times what I think. Do we need to talk about it again? Move on, Lance. There are other women besides me in this world."

'While you were keeping your celibacy, Minos was born, grew up, got three wives, and still managed to get one of them pregnant.' She made this comparison without controlling her thoughts, trying not to laugh.

Lance clenched his fists upon hearing that, but as a person determined to follow through with his goals, he did not give up. 'When I become the sect master, I will try again!'

'At that time, she will not refuse me!'

After thinking about it, he drank the red wine from this restaurant before saying. "In any case, I will win this dispute. So I advise you not to do anything strange with that brat. I can be kind to you, but I won't be able to give you a good position if my elders see you allied with that person."

She then lied. "What are you talking about? I just want to meet this fellow. There is shocking news about him, and his situation is not simple. But all I want is to meet King Stuart. I'm not thinking about the contest for sect master."

"Really?" Lance did not believe any of it.

"Of course!"

"I know very well that I don't stand a chance against you right now, even though I'm stronger, hehe." She smiled. "And what could I do with him? He doesn't want this position, and even if he did, it would be him sitting in the sect leadership, not me."

Lance's eyes narrowed. 'You look so beautiful trying to fool me, Ivory...'

He might be in love with Ivory, but Lance knew how to distinguish between love relationships and business. So he naturally did not believe a single word this woman said concerning matters like this.

But he did not say anything to her about it. "Be careful with him. I've heard some rumors that he's a wild beast who can't stand to keep his hands off women."

"Oh?" She smiled upon hearing this curious information about Minos. "Do you think I can't take care of myself? Do you think I will be attracted to Maisie's son?"

"Of course not, but that doesn't mean he won't try..." He said, confident that the goddess who had refused him for so long would not give herself up to a cowardly barbarian like Minos.

'He already has three beautiful wives. Why would he do something like that when they are traveling with him?' She closed her eyes and ignored Lance, sure that a 'child' like Minos would not do something like that to her.

Hell, she was Maisie's rival. How could he flirt with an opponent of his mother's? Wouldn't that be a betrayal?

Thinking about it, she just disregarded Lance's lines!

'I will send someone to Elder Vince's house to arrange a meeting with Minos...'
