Chapter 656 The Uninvited Guest of Novaria
After leaving the secret realm, Ethan went straight back to Vast Mountain.
Now that he had control over the Celestia Vale secret realm, entering and exiting was just a matter of thought.
"Orla, wouldn't it be better to stay in the secret realm and guard the master's body? Why insist on coming back with me?" Ethan asked Orla beside him, somewhat helplessly.
"I can't reach the master's body, and the body is just a lifeless object. Naturally, I want to stay by the real master's side!" Orla explained earnestly.
"Fine, if that's what you want, then come along!" Ethan nodded with a wry smile. He had initially worried about how to tame this divine beast, but now it seemed he couldn't get rid of it even if he wanted to. It was quite clingy!
At this moment, Patricia and Deborah suddenly appeared on Vast Mountain.
"Mr. Wilson, you haven't left Vast Mountain yet?" Patricia and Deborah looked at Ethan and Orla curiously, and Patricia asked with a puzzled expression.
"Looks like you're still here too," Ethan replied evasively. He had no intention of revealing anything about what had happened earlier.
"The Ladies Guild members are here dropping off supplies at the ML Guild's secret realm. We were bored with nothing to do, so when we sensed you were still hanging around Vast Mountain, we thought we'd swing by to say hi," Patricia explained.
"I'm about to leave. See you later!" Ethan had no intention of chatting with Patricia and Deborah and was ready to leave.
"Wait!" Patricia called out to Ethan.
"What is it?" Ethan asked curiously.
"Well, the ML Guild is empty now, with only a secret realm left. What do you plan to do with it?" Patricia asked, staring at Ethan.
"A secret realm?" Ethan was momentarily stunned but quickly understood.
A hidden realm like the ML Guild's held no attraction for him. With Tiger Mount and Celestia Vale, he had no interest in the small ML Guild.
However, just because he wasn't interested didn't mean other sects wouldn't be. For some small and medium sects, such a place would be highly coveted!
"I have no plans for it. If the Ladies Guild wants it, you can keep it. It's close to the Ladies Guild anyway, so it could serve as a second base for your sect," Ethan said noncommittally.
"Are you just going to give us this secret realm?" Patricia asked in surprise.
"Why not? Or do you not want it?" Ethan asked, puzzled.
"Of course we want it. Patricia just didn't expect you to be so generous! Secret realms are the foundation for our sects. Some small sects don't even have a place to call their own and have to hide in remote mountains and forests! On behalf of the Ladies Guild, we thank you for this great gift!" Deborah quickly accepted on behalf of Patricia.
"You're quite straightforward!" Ethan laughed heartily.
"We didn't help you much this time, but we owe you even more now!" Patricia shook her head with a wry smile.
"If you want to repay the favor, there will be opportunities in the future. Besides, the Sacred Wood is with the Ladies Guild, so I'll come back to find you! It's a pity I didn't get to see the legendary Linda this time," Ethan said with a smile.
"With your Sacred Wood, Linda should be able to come out of seclusion soon. I'll let you know when she does!" Patricia promised with a knowing nod.
"That's great. I'll be off then. Goodbye!" Ethan nodded in satisfaction and then disappeared with Orla from their sight.
"Ethan is really generous. No wonder he's the current head of the ZF Guild. He just gave away the ML Guild's secret realm!" Deborah sighed as she watched Ethan leave.
"He has the Tiger Mount secret realm with him, so he naturally doesn't care about the ML Guild's small place. I was overthinking it!" Patricia shook her head with a wry smile.
"By the way, if Linda really breaks through to the grandmaster level with the help of the Sacred Wood, do you think she'll be willing to return such a treasure to Ethan?" Deborah suddenly asked Patricia seriously.
Patricia's face changed instantly, and she slapped Deborah on the head, scolding, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
After speaking, she looked in the direction where Ethan had disappeared. Seeing no movement, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm just speaking the truth. Why are you reacting so strongly? He's already gone!" Deborah muttered, rubbing the back of her head.
"Good thing he didn't hear you. Your question could have brought great trouble to the entire Ladies Guild. Do you really think Linda is as ignorant as you? You know Ethan's identity now. Do you think Linda would risk becoming enemies with someone like Ethan over the Sacred Wood?" Patricia reminded Deborah sternly.
"You're right. I guess I was worrying for nothing!" Deborah nodded in agreement.
"My only concern now is the Hills Guild. They've suffered a huge loss, and Ethan even wiped out the ML Guild. I wonder if they'll let it go?" Patricia said.
Kirk, a grandmaster-level powerhouse, was enough to make anyone wary, even Ethan.
After leaving Vast Mountain, Ethan and Orla headed back to Novaria.
This time, they didn't use any transportation. With Orla, they had to rely on their legs!
But with Orla, a grandmaster-level divine beast, as a mount, Ethan wouldn't be foolish enough to walk himself!
Orla's speed was definitely not slower than an airplane, and even faster.
As long as Orla grew to a suitable size, carrying Ethan was no problem!
While Ethan and Orla were on their way back to Novaria, unexpected guests arrived outside Ethan's villa in Novaria.
As the sun set, it was time for school and work to end, making the villa lively. Chloe and the others, along with Chloe, had all returned from school and work.
Jessie was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for the family, chatting with Hannah, who was helping, about when Ethan would return.
"Everyone's here, and with Ethan not around, it's the perfect time to capture them all. Although we failed at Vast Mountain, capturing these women will surely make Ethan hand over Orla!" A young man outside the villa stared at the lit-up house with a sinister smile.
"I advise you to drop your schemes and leave immediately, or this place will become your grave!" A man's calm voice suddenly echoed in the young man's Sea of Consciousness.
"Who's there?" The young man's face changed dramatically!
