2252 Second Sister’s Strange Behavior! “The Marsh East Palace is showing our sincerity by handing over sole control of the Banquet of Everything to you. But if any accidents happen and any bloodshed occurs, the Marsh East Palace will step in immediately to take back control!” East Glow looked resolute and serious when it spoke. It had been unwilling to open up the space between the main hall and the sacrificial lane because it wanted to preserve the pride of the entire Marsh East Circle. For this reason, it would even be willing to go up against the Palace of Everything. The reason behind these words was the same. It was unlikely that the Banquet of Everything’s attendees would find out that the decision-making power had been transferred solely to the Palace of Everything. But once there was bloodshed at the Banquet of Everything, the Palace of Everything would handle the matter without consulting the Marsh East Palace. This would cause the Marsh East Palace to immediately become the laughingstock of the entire Marsh East Circle. The Marsh East Circle was already considered weak among the six major marsh circles. That said, the Apostles from the other marsh circles might still attend the Banquet of Everything because of the Banquet of Everything’s reputation. Once the Marsh East Palace failed to maintain its pride, the news would definitely travel throughout the six major marsh circles. This was the last thing that East Glow wanted to see as the Marsh East Palace’s overseer. East Glow had been very worried when it added this condition because it did not want to have any further conflict with the Palace of Everything. Compared to the strong-headed and almost domineering girl, this girl who looked amicable but was frowning slightly was clearly not easy to deal with. After Second Born heard what East Glow said, she looked at East Glow for a moment, causing all the hair to stand up on East Glow’s skin. Second Born’s lips curved slightly in a mysterious smile. “Of course! As the owner, you can step in anytime if there is any bloodshed. I only hope that you’ll be brave enough to do so!” Second Born spoke neither too slowly nor quickly. If one did not read too much into her words, they would give a sense of gentleness. But when the veteran Apostles from Marsh East Palace heard this, they immediately picked up on the mocking and derision buried in each word. When East Glow and the other Apostles still had not replied even after a few moments had passed, Second Born stood up and said, “Third Born, let’s go and help with the setting up. If we wait for First Sister for every issue, there won’t be enough time!” Third Born stood up and looked at Second Born with a stunned gaze before she followed Second Born to the area where the Banquet of Everything was going to be held. Second Born noticed Third Born’s gaze and returned it with a sharp look. Second Born’s expression did not flinch as she asked, “Third Born, why are you looking at me this way? It’s almost like this is the first time we’re meeting!” Third Born stretched contentedly. “Second Sister, you aren’t acting like usual. I thought I would have to handle the interaction with Marsh East Palace and set up on my own. But you’re here to help, so I can quickly skive off!” After hearing Third Born’s reply, Second Born’s sharp gaze softened. “Third Born, since you want to skive off, you can leave all of the setting up to me. You can handle the organization of the guest name list. It’s time for you to increase your power!” Second Born pondered over what Third Born said before a confused expression spread across her face. Since when was the peak of Apostle the end of the line? She was in charge of organizing the labor for the Banquet of Everything. As long as she inserted some of its own people, she would have eyes looking out throughout the entire Banquet of Everything. This way, she would know the instant that that person appeared. While she was thinking, Second Born looked at her hands. From the moment that she started walking down that path and made that decision, she had decided to go for broke. Even if she had to break ties with her two sisters or if they ended up standing in her way, Second Born would not hesitate to spill their blood over her hands. All of the roiling darkness was hidden under the facade of peaceful prosperity. In just 45 hours, Second Born drew up the proposal for the labor organization of the Banquet of Everything. Normally, even if the Marsh East Palace had given full control of the Banquet of Everything to the Palace of Everything, this proposal should still be handed to East Glow, who oversaw the Marsh East Palace. This was the most basic courtesy. However, Second Born did not intend to do so. Second Born and Third Born had come to have a discussion and only brought a small team with them. Most of the Palace of Everything’s army was with First Born. Yet, Second Born’s plan included most of the troops. Second Born thought, First Sister, you are indeed smart. You must have detected something! I hope you can turn a blind eye. Otherwise, you can’t blame me for ignoring all our years of sisterhood! As Second Born looked at the name list with a million thoughts flying through her head, she suddenly heard Third Born’s hurried steps by the door. As lively as Third Born was, she was always serious when she carried out her tasks. She would never be in such a panic unless something big had happened. Second Born straightened her body and readied herself to hear what Third Born had to say. Soon, the door of the room was pushed open. After Third Born stepped in, but before she even closed the door, she said loudly, “Second Sister, I heard that a Dictator has appeared in Marsh East Circle who is rushing to the Banquet of Everything! Will things change with a Dictator attending the Banquet of Everything?” Third Born assumed that Second Born would become just as panicked as she was when she heard the news. Yet, Second Born appeared composed and collected, as though she was completely unaffected by the news. Second Born had already guessed that a Dictator would be coming to attend the Banquet of Everything. In the past years’ Banquets of Everything, there had been the occasional attendance by Dictators. If she was still an Apostle now, she would definitely be in hysterics over Dictator Everything’s disappearance. Apostles did not have the right to speak to Dictators. However, she had already crossed that boundary. Since she was a Dictator as well, Second Born did not think that the Dictators who came to attend the Banquet of Everything would take the risk of starting a fight with her. Dictator Everything had hidden herself away because Second Born had become a Dictator. Second Born did not care how many Dictators came as long as her goal was unaffected.
