Though Alice had felt antsy to stay and see the enemy which Seth was about to encounter her mind fantasizing about battling the opponent, when Seth gave the order for her to leave, she found her violent will collapsing and her legs moving.
"My will is weak, I'm too susceptible to him," Alice thought her hands making a tight grip.
"Don't you want to go back and see what is happening, "Alice suddenly said and though she could see the twitch in the eyebrow of the person her words were meant for, she didn't let up and instead pressured him with her stare.
"No Alice, I have no interest in going back there and exposing myself to whatever dangers Seth has decided to expose himself to." Basco who was at Alice's side said as he shot through the air, an unconscious Maggy on his shoulders.
"Pussy, I wonder what you'll do if the enemy attacks the capital," Alice asked, her voice a drawl but her gaze focused on Basco, showing that she was bored and just asking him questions to pass the time.
"We'll pack up and run" Basco simply answered, but his response generated a spike of qi from Alice and a harsh glare.
"We are Supremes, we don't run." Alice rebuked.
"Perhaps, but what chances do you think we stand against an opponent that was able to defeat Seth, after all, that's the only way that they will have a chance to take a shot at the capital."
"If they defeat Seth, then let them come, I'll crush them, it will be a chance to prove my superiority over him." Alice boisterously said but when Basco sent her a blank gaze she could only pout and look away.
"You're slowing us down, pick up the pace," Alice said after a few seconds.
"I'd rather not waste my strength on such a pointless endeavor."
"Is it that it's pointless or you're just scared? "Alice said mockingly but as she looked at Basco, she noticed that he had whipped out a phone and placed it close to his ears.
Alice stayed silent for a second and then before Basco knew it, the woman closed the distance between the two of them, and suddenly Basco felt his shoulder become a lot lighter and then without delay a hand wrapped around his waist from the back and then he was pulled into a high-speed movement.
"You just couldn't miss the opportunity to kill her huh" Basco muttered his mind quickly getting past the image of Alice taking Maggy off his shoulders and then slicing the woman in half before letting her decapitated body fall to the ground.
Alice smiled at Basco's words but she gave no reply as she kept her gaze pointed forward and went piercing through the sky at sound-shattering speeds.

There was a time when things were different for Leah, a time when she was just an average principal in a school located in a rank D city.
Back then Leah had been nothing but a frog in a well, a woman scampering to get into the good graces of her city's measly governor and even willing to sell her body to please a man she assumed was at the 3rd stage soldier level.
As an ambitious woman, Leah had always known that her journey to the top would never be easy and had always been mentally prepared to make sacrifices and be subservient to the people at the top, but never would she have expected that her salvation would actually come in the form of a woman.
Though Leah had always known that Rose wasn't the average woman, her attitude and wisdom being a bit too profound, never would she have expected that this woman who had decided to linger around and hand her some wise words was so capable.
Within the span of months, Rose had transformed her from a woman who looked up to 3rd stage soldier level cultivators to one who was actually able to challenge guardians.
Guardian's the fabled most powerful cultivators known on earth and also the most mysterious of people.
With Rose making her a vampire, Leah had gained the strength that made it possible to stand on equal terms with guardians and match their blows, it was just rather unfortunate that she was allied with them and couldn't turn against them.
While it was a bummer that Leah couldn't let loose on the guardians, for some reason which Rose never explained, her master had decided to let her loose on the rulers of Ergand federation.
Adrian and Dorian, the two guardians of the Ergand federation were the stuff of inspiration to all cultivators in the country, especially women, and now they were Leah's to handle.
