Chapter 228: Doris Within the Dream
“Boss Lin isn’t opposed to the hostility between Wilde and me, for we wouldn't even have the chance to meet here if that was the case. He just believes that it isn't the time yet.
“From the current outlook, he's getting Wilde to help him recruit more patrons for him. This is Wilde’s value to him… As for us, we help him by performing certain tasks that are too minuscule for him.
“Since he’s setting us up for a direct confrontation, it must mostly mean that Wilde has finished providing all his worth to Boss Lin who no longer needs him. With that, the animosity between the two of us can finally come to a conclusion.
“All of this must’ve been according to the plan Boss Lin has sequentially laid out.”
These words of Joseph reverberated constantly in Claude's mind all the way till the mess was sorted out and Francis' group were brought back to Secret Rite Tower.
Choosing a victor between the two Destructive-ranks Joseph and Wilde, to help ascend to Supreme-rank…
Though it was known from the beginning that this kind and amiable bookstore owner by the name of Lin Jie possessed fearsome power, it was Joseph's words that made it seem especially impactful.
As if receiving a hammer blow to his heart, Claude was completely shaken.
This sort of saying was familiar to him… Any knight receiving training at Secret Rite Tower would find it so.
An elimination system to pick a few suitable candidates out of dozens of Knight Apprentices, to undergo elite training where only the top few candidates would be chosen to become a Great Radiant Knight.
On top of that, he could occasionally come across and view the dreams of others here.
Today, as per usual, Lin Jie planned to ‘find’ an interesting dream realm after his practice.
But when he accidentally came across a certain greenish dream realm, Lin Jie saw a familiar face.
The image of a beautiful blond elf with ocean blue eyes in an elegant white dress barging into his bookstore on a rainy night suddenly flashed across his mind.
"Doris?"
