A Film Queen

Chapter 355

When Raiden got a good look at the bracelet, he visibly paled, his face freezing in shock. For a brief moment, there was total silence. Then, unexpectedly, the man who had seemed so brave up until now suddenly dropped to his knees, his voice booming.

“Raiden of the Ghost Sect bows down before the Sect Leader! The one who leads our world with unparalleled strength!”

Milly just stared, speechless.

Wow, that was super cringe!

It felt like something out of a teenage fantasy, eerily similar to the chants used when the six major sects surrounded Bright Summit. It was almost laughable, like something out of a child’s play.

But the real question was, how could they be so sure that a single bracelet was enough to identify her as the Sect Leader?

Andrew gave her this bracelet, which used to belong to Rosa before she passed away. But how on earth is it connected to the leader of their Ghost Sect?

At first glance, the bracelet seems plain, with just some hard-to-make-out patterns or some fancy writing. It has something special about it when you look closer, but they only had a quick peek. All they noticed was its silvery-brown colour, which is typical for these kinds of bracelets.

So, could they have gotten the bracelet wrong?

But then again, if the Sect Leader himself can mess up, what does that say about the Ghost Sect being the top secret organisation in the world? Pretty embarrassing.

Still, with everyone kneeling down and bowing in respect, Milly knew better than to clear things up.

She can temporarily take on the role if they expect her to become the Sect Leader!

Milly quietly slipped the bracelet that had dropped back into her shirt cuff, worried someone might notice. Then, she strolled over to the main sofa and sat down, casually leaning back and observing everyone around her.

“So, our Ghost Sect’s rule is to just kidnap and smack the Sect Leader around, is that it?”
