Matteo could not stop the smile on his face; he lowered his energy field. Then, a loud voice boomed, “Everyone! Thank you for coming to our birthday celebration. I have a few words to say.”
The entire hall went silent; the crowd looked fervently at him.
Most of the guests had arrived. The Hanson siblings had to say a few words before the celebration could begin.
However, before he could begin, a disciple ran into the hall and knelt in front of Matteo.” Report! The Elysium Gate’s Sect Master, the Eternal Life Palace’s Sect Master, and the Flower Mountain’s Sect Master are here to greet you!’
What? The Elysium Gate? And the Eternal Life Palace?
Were they not the sects from the World Universe?
The Grand Brightness Main Hall had been in a festive mood, but it turned silent. Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
The New World and the World Universe had always been in a tense relationship. So, the sects from these two Mainlands had never had any connections with one another. The guests were bewildered when they heard those three sects had arrived at the hall.
Yvette, who was in the main guest-of-honor seat, trembled. She stood up and walked to the main hall entrance; she was anxious when she looked outside.
‘The Elysium Gate’s Sect Master? Darryl Darby? That can’t be right! Didn’t he drop into the volcano crater and died a year ago?’ Yvette was confused.
Matteo was also baffled. Even though the Incandescent Sect had a vast social network, they had not heard of the Elysium Gate or the Eternal Life Palace before that.
“Sister, are they your friends? These people from the Flower Mountain and Eternal Life Palace and whatnot?” Matteo asked as he looked at Laura.
“I don’t know them too…* Laura tried her best to recall those names, but nothing came to her mind.
At that moment, Justin quickly approached them and said in a panic, “Master, the Elysium Gate’s Sect Master is Darryl Darby. He was rumored to have dropped into the volcano crater and died a year ago. Also, you beat up Dax Sanders and Chester Wilson previously; you even let me slap them a few times. Perhaps you have forgotten about that?”
Matteo was even more confused. “What nonsense is this? I have long forgotten about that. I do not recognize them.”
Matteo was a little displeased. “Even though the Incandescent Sect is renowned and we have many friends, how can we let just any Tom, Dick, and Harry join our birthday celebration?”
Clang!
Before he could finish his sentence, a loud sound reverberated!
Someone had kicked the Grand Brightness Main Hall’s door open!
