Get Spoiled after Travelling into A Novel

Chapter 83 Eliminate the New Sect Leader Leon snapped back to attention and scowled. "Is there anything else, or can we end this call?" Finished "Wait, don't hang up." King quickly said. "Oliver mentioned a new sect leader has emerged. They say it's skid. Should we take her out before she settles in?" Leon stayed quiet, pondering.

Ever since the old sect leader died, the Ghost Sect had been unstable. Underneath the apparent calm, a storm was brewing. The new, younger leader was especially vulnerable in this environment, easy to overthrow without leaving a trace.

They chose to remain uninvolved in the turmoil.

"We'll stay out of it," Leon finally decided. "We don't need to get involved in their internal struggles. The new leader's identity isn't important to us," he stated, his voice carrying a maturity and sharpness beyond his years.

King rubbed his chin, considering. "True, if the kid has the bracelet and stays out of our way, maybe it's smarter to let her try to manage the chaos." "Exactly." King hesitated. "Should we let Oliver know our plan?" Leon dismissed the idea. “No, he talks too much. The less he knows, the safer our position." "Alright," King acknowledged quietly.

Oliver, ever naive, still believed in the sect's supposed ideals of brotherhood and respect, oblivious to the real turmoil and deceit within its ranks.

While he sought to ingratiate himself with the new leader, the others were plotting for power.

Clearly, they were not on the spage.

His words would only turn him into a fool who harbours secrets, achieving nothing else.

Standing by the roadside, Leon looked up, his eyes meeting the starry sky and the illuminated skyscrapers along the road. At that moment, he felt a real sense of belonging to the world around him.

Deeply entrenched in the operations of the Ghost Sect, he had grown numb, accustomed to the cold act of killing, slowly losing touch with his own humanity.

"King, do you ever think about leaving the Ghost Sect?" His voice was a soft murmur lost in the quiet of the night.

After a brief pause, there was a loud crash on the other end of the line, as if something heavy had been dropped. Then King's voice cthrough, tinged with disbelief.

"Y-You...

Chapter 83 Eliminate the New Sect Leader 66%1 #Finished wouldn't dare speak of such things. Do you remember what happened to those who tried to leave without permission? We're still being tracked!" Leon's eyes dropped, the reflections of the city lights dimming in his gaze.

"I know. I was just wondering." "There's no room for wondering! It's forbidden even to think such things!" King's voice was stern, "Leon, you and I are bound to this life, you said it yourself, didn't you?" Leon pressed his lips together. "Yeah." He remembered all too well the reality of their situation since joining the Ghost Sect.

"So let's not entertain such thoughts anymore. It's a good thing that we are just talking right now. If any higher- ups heard, how many lives do you think you'd be endangering?" "I understand." Leon replied.

After hanging up, Leon slumped on a roadside stone bench, his gaze vacant as he stared at the ground.

For them, a normal life was a distant dream; what right did he have to seek his own happiness? What right did he have to....

Hold her? The next morning. Milly's understanding of Ken deepened.

Two helicopters were parked on the lawn of the Burnett Mansion's backyard, and a third was circling overhead, apparently struggling to find a landing spot.

Milly furrowed her brow. "Jordan, isn't one enough? Why do we need so many?" Jordan replied calmly. "Why not? You can take one, and the other two are for the luggage." Milly was taken aback.

She was only going away for about a month; did she really need two helicopters just for her luggage? Watching the servants carry out seven large suitcases, grand and imposing; it almost seemed like they were moving an entire house.

"Jordan, this is excessive." Milly searched for the right words. Had her brother emptied the entire house just to accommodate her luggage? Jordan felt a twinge of guilt. His younger sister, ostensibly the heiress of the Burnetts, had never really lived the life of one. What was routine for them seemed extravagant to her.

He tousled her wind-blown hair, affection in his eyes. "Milly, it's not excessive at all. You are unique, and nothing is too much for you.

"It's better to be over-prepared than under-prepared. The assistant When selected left early last night. you arrive. meet her at the Burnetts' hotel. Let the assistant handle everything else, and you can focus on 12:50 Sun, 23 Jun ti Chapter 83 Eliminate the New Sect Leader your filming." Milly noticed the dark circles under Jordan's eyes but could not bring herself to object.

Her brother must have stayed up all night worrying about her arrangements, "Thank you, Jordan, I understand.

"But Jordan, can we not be so wasteful in the future? I want to try on my own." Milly appreciated her brother's intentions, but they did not align with her aspirations.

Finished Jordan looked puzzled. “Why do you want to be independent? Is it because you think I can't support your anymore or are the Burnetts in financial trouble?" Milly paused.

According to the storyline she knew, the Burnetts were destined to face financial challenges If she stepped into the spotlight as a Burnett, it would only complicate her path when those challenges arose. When the tcame, she needed to establish herself independently to be a pillar for her family. She could not reveal herself as a Burnett if that were the case.

"I want to make my own way in the entertainment industry and not lean on the Burnett nor your influence. Can you understand that?" Jordan's expression darkened with concern. “I can't agree to that.”

How ironic; all his efforts to rejuvenate the Burnett fortunes were t fortunes intended to give Milly the freedom to pursue her dreams, yet here she was, asking for less rather than more.
