At the headquarters of the Demon Seal Alliance, Talcott dutifully attended to Tavon’s every need.
Whatever Tavon requested, Talcott spared no effort to fulfill.
After all, Tavon was a representative of the Celestial Palace and a high-ranking official in the Tenth Hall.
Otherwise, Tennyson would never have sent Tavon to deal with Infinides.
When Tavon arrived at the Demon Seal Alliance headquarters, he didn’t immediately head to Allardland. Instead, he spent several days indulging himself, instructing Talcott to gather over ten female cultivators for endless dual cultivation sessions.
Within the Tenth Hall, Tavon was merely a high- ranking official. Above him stood Tennyson, and he didn’t dare to act recklessly or demand female cultivators there.
Female celestial cultivators were notoriously proud, and without genuine skill, they wouldn’t agree to dual cultivation.
However, things were different in the Demon Seal Alliance. Regardless of their willingness, female cultivators were forced to serve Tavon under the alliance’s oppressive rule.
“Mr. Lefterov, it has been several days now. Not only has this man consumed a significant amount of resources, but he also demands female cultivators to serve him. Many families are voicing their discontent and are unwilling to supply any more female cultivators,” one elder whispered to Talcott.
Talcott frowned. He, too, was in a difficult position. Since Tavon’s arrival, he hadn’t mentioned dealing with Allardland, and Talcott didn’t dare bring it up either.
Moreover, Talcott wasn’t certain of Tavon’s strength.
Could Tavon really defeat Infinides?
If Tavon failed and put their forces at risk, it could lead to disaster for the alliance.
The last time, Infinides didn’t take action. Allardland’s forces suffered injuries and didn’t manage to come after them. That was the sole reason Talcott and his men managed to escape.
If they were to face Infinides again and Tavon were defeated, would any of them make it out alive?
While Talcott was struggling with his thoughts, Tavon, looking utterly satisfied, finally stepped into the main hall.
Arrogance radiated from Tavon’s gaze. Despite the meticulous care he had received, he didn’t so much as glance at Talcott or the others.
To Tavon, Talcott and the Demon Seal Alliance members were nothing more than lowly servants.
How could such people ever compare to the noble celestials?
If not for the catastrophe that had befallen the celestials, the Celestial Palace wouldn’t have stooped to cooperating with ordinary cultivators like Talcott.
“Mr. Lorthan, were the female cultivators to your satisfaction?”
Talcott quickly approached, bowing respectfully.
“Not bad, quite satisfactory. You ordinary cultivators may lack skills, but your women are rather entertaining,” Tavon said, licking his lips.
Though Talcott found Tavon’s words revolting, he maintained a polite smile. “As long as you are pleased. May I ask when we will head to Allardland?”
“We can go now. After these past few days of enjoyment, I need some activity to stretch my limbs,” Tavon replied nonchalantly.
“Mr. Lorthan, Infinides is incredibly strong. Even Prince Decanus fell to him, so…”
Talcott was about to remind Tavon not to underestimate his opponent.
Before Talcott could finish, Tavon shot him a cold glare that made Talcott’s entire body tremble. He didn’t dare say another word.
“Mr. Lefterov…”
Gatlin entered the hall with his disciples Ruth and Seth.
“Mr. Gatlin, what do you want?” Talcott asked, his face showing displeasure.
Every time Gatlin was sent on a mission, his companions would perish, yet Gatlin always managed to return alive.
Talcott saw this as proof of Gatlin’s cowardice and lack of commitment.
“Mr. Lefterov, defeating Allardland might not be as simple as just taking down Abbot Infinides,” Gatlin said cautiously.
“Why not? Allardland doesn’t have any strong experts left. Even Bernard couldn’t stand against us.”
Talcott looked at Gatlin with a puzzled expression and expressed his dissatisfaction.
