Chapter 580: Chapter 460: Doesn’t Matter
For instance, when they both happened to dine in the same restaurant, they would invariably engage in biting sarcasm. Elsa always maintained a superior tone, flawlessly sophisticated in her mockery, with not a single obscene word. As a veteran of political circles, Sajia would give as good as he got without losing his manners.
However, there were two bloody conflicts between them. Once, one of Sajia’s guards could no longer tolerate Elsa’s arrogant demeanor and drew his sword on her. As a result, Elsa severed his arm with a single strike. Had Sajia not stepped in, the guard would have surely lost his life.
The second time, Sajia himself got involved. The wounded guard, thanks to adequate treatment, had fully recovered but felt no less resentment towards Elsa. On another encounter, when Elsa was as sarcastic as ever, Sajia attacked her without a second word. In the ensuing fight, all four of Sajia’s guards, including the previously injured one, were floored by Elsa. Sajia himself ended up with a gash on his arm due to Elsa’s blade.
Elsa only sustained a minor scrape on her leg, not even enough to draw blood.
Eventually, all four guards were rescued. However, Sajia finally understood Elsa was ruthless. Had it not been for his guards’ desperate defense, the person knocked down by Elsa would have been himself!
Even so, the Emperor of the Celestial Clan never surfaced, and no one knew his whereabouts.
This time, Sajia was genuinely furious. He decided to show Elsa that besides martial arts, another thing called power existed in Heaven Realm. He was planning to take Elsa out without shedding blood!
However, before long, Sajia realized it was futile!
Elsa had no political ambitions and didn’t ally with anyone. She stood alone and was invincible!
Whenever Elsa appeared before Sajia, she always wore a smirk. Against such an unambitious opponent, Sajia felt like his punches were hitting air. His staff devised numerous strategies, but none could be implemented. Elsa’s daily activities were simple: eating, sleeping, training, and undermining Sajia.
She didn’t network with anyone. Although she occasionally strolled around the town, she never bought anything.
What to do next? Even assassins were unwilling to target Elsa because they knew she was the heroine who had regained lost territories!
However, Sajia would never resort to assassins. As a qualified politician, he knew well that assassination was the most primitive method.
For a while now, the feud between the two had rendered the atmosphere in the Imperial City extremely tense. Some feared that Elsa, on a whim, might slay Sajia, which would set off a political storm in the Imperial City.
However, just when Sajia didn’t know what move to make next, his most trusted confidant brought him a piece of news.
The protagonist of the news was—Long Yi!
Upon receiving this news, Sajia laughed, "Oh Elsa, you’re not as invincible as you seem!"
As the utmost beneficiary of their quarrel, Selena had been treasuring the chaos Elsa created. She traveled among various forces, acting as a firefighter to alleviate the crisis. Some forces saw her capability, especially when Elsa openly supported Selena, which was a signal. These two sisters who would never join forces seemed to align themselves against Sajia. Regarding this, Selena neither confirmed nor denied, as maintaining a sense of mystery was one of the best ways to project a personal image.
However, at this moment, there was nothing mysterious about Selena as she hurriedly made her way to Elsa’s palace, where Elsa mostly stayed. As expected, Elsa was there.
"Little sister, something major happened in the Human Realm," Selena quickly said.
"What happened?" Elsa’s usually nonchalant countenance immediately turned serious as news from the Human Realm normally concerned Long Yi.
"The Dragon Clan just announced the world’s strongest martial arts competition through the Temple of Dragon God to select the strongest fighters from the entire world," Selena said.
"Oh, is that all?" Elsa responded dismissively.
"My silly little sister, this is not just a simple martial arts competition. This is the Dragon Clan’s power rebalance strategy. This means your little lover has caught the Dragon Clan’s attention, and they want to take out Long Yi!" Selena explained.
"Yeah, I know," Elsa nodded.
"So why are you reacting like this? Don’t you like him anymore?" Selena couldn’t comprehend. Wasn’t Elsa supposed to react to this news anxiously?
"Who said that? I like him, and I’ll only ever like him!" Elsa declared, "But for him, this kind of circumstance is a trivial matter, nothing to worry about."
"You certainly have a lot of confidence." Selena shook her head, frustrated. She had rushed over so urgently with the news, only to find Elsa didn’t care. "Ah yes, this next piece of news, though, you might want to pay attention to. I’ve heard that Sajia’s learned about Long Yi’s existence. Moreover, it’s very likely that he’ll use this martial arts competition to target Long Yi."
