Chapter 293 Disgruntled Factions

• "Us Alvarados have always stood for honor," one of them declared, voice firm. "We've never stooped to dirty tricks. Don't accuse us of such things. If you insist on searching, we'll pull out of The Warrior's Convocation."
• Every faction and family in the underworld, whether large or small, rejected Elysian Sect's orders with equal strength.
• They made a quiet, unspoken pact. If the Elysian Sect insisted on continuing the search, they would all withdraw, refusing to participate in the Convocation.
