A Film Queen

Chapter 409

If matters were as simple as they appear, there wouldn’t be a need to scheme for authority and take charge, yet the reality is much more complicated.

Leon has gathered a substantial amount of influence from the Ghost Sect, both publicly and secretly. Additionally, with the support of the First Branch Sect and Second Branch Sect, it’s clear that he is striving to become the sect leader.

His abrupt shift in goals has bewildered everyone.

Earlier, he displayed no desire for the sect leader role, opting to stay on the periphery. Given his abilities, he could have taken leadership much earlier.

But now that he wants the position, the rise of a new sect leader presents a problem, and the best way to tackle this issue is to remove her! Get rid of any possible future dangers!

King looked at Leon with a serious expression and, after a pause, said in a grave tone, “Leon, have you really thought about the repercussions of what you’re doing?”

Leon’s striking face stayed emotionless, showing a cold determination. “I have thought it through. No matter who she is, she has to be removed.”

His voice reflected absolute resolve.

Seeing him like this, King realised that his words weren’t just talk. It was clear that he had already made up his mind long ago.

He reached out and gently patted his shoulder, sighing softly. “Alright, as long as you’ve thought it through. As your friend, no matter what you decide, I’ll stand by you without hesitation.”

Then, as if trying to lighten the mood, he turned to Oliver, who was standing not far away, and said, ‘Hey, silly, don’t you agree?”

Usually, whenever he jokingly called Oliver “silly”, Oliver would get so angry that he’d jump up and start wrestling with him. But this time, even though he had already assumed a defensive stance after calling out, Oliver surprisingly remained rooted to the spot.
