Chapter 1742 Eye to Eye
'Sister Orb...?' Rean couldn't help but contact her in response to those words.Yuivo stretched his back a little as he got up, seemingly not minding that at all. "Oh! There's no need to worry. I'm sure you really didn't let anyone see it." Soon after, he looked at Ramona and said, "Your race's innate ability is still as impressive as ever. At first, I didn't understand why you selected this continent to take your two subordinates. Unlike Andrile here, you had the choice to head to a more developed one."
Andrile's expression turned dark when he heard that. "Elder, are you saying I'm worse than her? I refuse to believe that! All she has is that innate ability of hers and nothing else. I exceed this girl in everything else!"
Ramona snorted in response. "Hmph! Sure you do."
Yuivo then patted Andrile's shoulder, saying, "Since you said that, then prove it in the competition that you're not spouting bullshit. Anyone can claim what you said, but can they really live up to their words? Our Jamai Sect will obviously be watching that."
Andrile narrowed his eyes in response but finally calmed down. Indeed, all he had to do was to prove his worth during the competition. "That goes without saying. Let's go. I'll select my subordinates out of this shithole of a continent myself. Even though they will be ants, ants also have their uses, so they better bleed for me during the competition."
Yuivo sighed but didn't say anything else. After all, Andrile's arrogance was backed up by his strength. The simple fact he was one of the one hundred selected disciples already proved that. The Jamai Sect definitely wouldn't select disciples only based on their connections with the higher-ups. Since the new continent was in play, they absolutely needed the best of the best in their rankings, and Andrile was one of them. Of course, it was obvious that Jhiod Sect ranked quite low in the small continents under the Jamai Sect's wing. That meant that Andrile was still not among the best disciples within the one hundred selected ones.
Returning back to the main topic, Gean couldn't help but ask, "I-Innate ability? No, forget that. I won't pry into this lady's secrets. Instead, can this young lady tell me who was watching our meeting?"
Ramona was quite pleased by Gean's words as she nodded, saying, "No problem. Well, I don't know their names, but I do know that they're twins. It's just that one has white hair while the other has black. Other than that, they're more or less identical to each other."
Philip would be lying if he said he didn't expect that. From the moment Ramona mentioned that two guys were watching, his mind immediately thought of the twins. In any case, he was still shocked that the twins had such advanced methods.
However, a moment later, he started to laugh out loud. "Hahaha! So it's really them, huh? Hahaha! Sure, young lady Ramona. This Philip shall bring the twins straight to you. You won't go back on your words that you want them, right?"
Gean and the other elders obviously couldn't just watch by without doing anything. "Ahem... Lady Ramona, we have a lot more disciples with great capabilities. Are you sure you don't want to take a better look at the others?" You couldn't blame them since the rewards of the Jamai Sect were just that important.
Ramona immediately shook her head, though. "No! It has to be those two. Of course, my fellow disciple Andrile here still needs to select his. You can bring them out and let him decide. Although he's this arrogant, he isn't completely useless."
Andrile wanted nothing more than to kill Ramona right there and then. "Said the girl who only knows how to rely on her race's innate skill. We will see who'll have the last laugh in the end."
Ramona smiled in response. "Oh! You speak like you would definitely not use this innate skill of mine if you had the chance."
"You!" Andrile was truly not the girl's match in a battle of words.
"Enough!" Yuivo had to intervene once again. "You two better not fight once the competition for the new continent starts. If you become the reason why we lost that continent, you can forget about keeping your own lives. Instead of fighting each other, focus on your own efforts to win the competition.
Ramona and Andrile could only agree to that. "Yes, Elder Yuivo. We apologize."
Philip couldn't care less, though. "Well, if everyone excuses me, I have to fetch those two disciples of mine. Lady Ramona, I'll bring them to you in no time."
Gean and the others felt like a spear were going through their heart as they saw Philip's smile. Unfortunately, they already had no power to change the outcome anymore. "Forget it. Let's gather the other disciples of our Jhiod Sect for this young lad Andrile to choose." Indeed, there were still two more slots, so they had to try to get those ones.
A few minutes later, Rean and Roan held a bitter smile as they heard received a message in their residences. "Elder Philip has summoned you. Could you please follow me?" asked the subordinate that came to see the twins.
'Of course, he did...' Rean and Roan thought at the same time. 'Whatever. Let's just go there.'
Well, the twins were finally able to meet Ramona after that. "Hello, you two. It's good to meet you eye to eye this time."
