The Protector Novel

Chapter 3959 Gloria Recommend Herself
As time passed, the high-rank officials in Cordierite Association were also looking forward to good news.They were waiting in
anticipation for their elders to return with their hands full.
However, many days passed, and their elders still hadn’t returned. That made them quite nervous. Even Albert was getting an
ominous premonition regarding that. Fortunately, he was still receiving daily updates from his communication device, which
eased his worry a little.
Meanwhile, Gloria had secured a solid spot in Eclipse in a month’s time. After she handily won the Empyrean selection, she was
highly valued by high-rank officials of Eclipse.
Furthermore, her diplomatic finesse and ability to establish sturdy connections gained her favors from Walden. Because of that,
Gloria obtained many cultivation resources from Eclipse.
In order to turn her into his trusted aide, Walden even granted her a small-sized dragon ley line so she could devour it to
increase her strength.
Many elites from Eclipse also taught her various techniques. She was clearly treated as the future heiress of the sect and was
nurtured as such, which allowed her influence to expand rapidly.
At the same time, Heptino was helping her by exploring different places for dragon ley lines and magical herbs. With the support
of two sources of cultivation resources, Gloria’s power increased greatly again.
It didn’t take long before she became even more powerful than Larissa. Through her hard work, Gloria successfully controlled
the entire Void Sect.
Geraint was basically nothing more than a figurehead by that point. Her direct subordinates even occupied many key positions in
the sect.
That made her feel very accomplished. However, she still kept an abnormally low profile in front of Eclipse’s fighters.
“You really don’t disappoint me, Gloria. The upper limit of your cultivation is surely several times higher than Larissa’s,” Walden
commented delightfully.

Politely, Gloria replied, “It’s all thanks to you and the elders’ teachings, Lord Slabey. I’ll never forget your kindness as well as the
elders’.”
Walden was very satisfied with her attitude. I’m glad my recent efforts weren’t for naught.
When he thought of how Larissa had perished in Dragon’s Grave Valley, he lamented her death. However, he found solace when
he saw Gloria’s cultivation upper limit being higher than Larissa’s.
“Once your strength has risen again, I shall step back and allow you to take the reins of Eclipse.” That was an empty promise by
Walden.
In reality, he wanted to further observe her performance before actually making that decision.
All the attention he gave her and the techniques he taught her were done with the goal of using Gloria as his personal tool.
“Thank you for your support, Lord Slabey.” Gloria paused before continuing, “Lord Slabey, I would like to recommend myself to
conduct a thorough investigation on the robber’s allies to avenge our fallen comrades. I hope you’ll give me permission to do so.”
She had a fully laid-out plan to stabilize her position in Eclipse. Aside from gaining favors from high-rank officials in the sect, she
also needed to contribute to the sect.
The robber incident caused an uproar. Members of Eclipse and Eclipse Academy were severely injured during the event, which
was why many in the sect were still bitter about it.
Even though the robber had supposedly perished in Dragon’s Grave Valley, the high-rank officials didn’t personally witness his
death. Therefore, their hatred and grudge still remained.
If she could rat out the robber’s associates, then her position in Eclipse would be further reinforced.
Walden remained silent for a moment before answering, “Since you’re so willing to take on the task, I’ll allow it. Do whatever it
takes to find all the robber’s acquaintances.”
“Roger that!” Gloria replied eagerly.
From that point onward, she was utterly focused on investigating the robber’s accomplices. It didn’t take long before she found
many leads.
