Chapter 357: First Impressions
Stella had been observing the tournament realm from the shadows when she came across her dear Disciple engaged in an argument with what appeared to be an angry drunkard. Curious to see how her Disciple would handle the pressure, she hung back and watched the events unfold. However, the more the man spoke, the angrier Stella became. As Jasmine pointed out, the man was twisting all of Tree's actions and spitting in their face!
Go on, Jasmine! Kill him! Rip out his throat! Come on! Stella was a little peeved that her Disciple hadn't learned that the best way to deal with arguments was with arrogance and lethal force. Entertaining these idiots wasn't worth it.
"Looks like I'll have to step in—"
"Hold on," Ashlock's voice echoed through her mind, "Are you about to do what I think you are going to do?"
Damn it. Stella paused with one foot in the aether and looked at the sky with an innocent smile, "Whatever do you mean, Tree?"
"You can handle the situation however you please as it involves your Disciple, but I just wanted to point out that many people from Darklight City's Academy are in attendance. While we have an information blockade around the city, there are still ways they could alert their families. I suspect many are participating in this tournament for that reason. To gather information."
"Should I kill them too, then?" Stella didn't understand the concern. If there were no witnesses, then there was no problem, right?
"Honestly, we are stronger than everyone in the region except maybe the Patriarch at this point. Anyone they send to deal with me will become my food. So you can do as you please. Just bear in mind that whatever you do will be the first impression they have of you... beside the exaggerated rumors, of course."
"First impression?" Stella grinned. Oh, this is going to be fun.
