Chapter 3780 Building Forces In Void Sect

Gloria, who had walked away, curled her lips into a half smile. The improvement in her cultivation level had given her hearing ability a significant boost, so it was no surprise that she heard Heptino's heart- warming self-dialogue clear as day.

"Ha! Heptino may be exceptionally talented, but he's also naive and innocent. It sure was easy to manipulate him!" Gloria said smugly. As it turned out, it was Declan who had told her about Heptino's strong desire for familial love, and she had decided to go with that approach after gathering all the information she could on him. Thankfully, the outcome was exactly as she had predicted, with Heptino quickly regarding her as family.

One's behavior might be deceptive, but the eyes would never lie. Besides, how could a master manipulator like Gloria not be able to tell if someone was being genuine or fake?

"Not to toot my own horn, but this was a brilliant personalized attack!" Gloria remarked, looking utterly proud of her ability to control people.

She had never once resorted to dirty tricks while attempting to get close to Heptino, choosing instead to present herself as the loving sister figure.

Of course, Gloria knew that approach would work best with Heptino. After all, he had never had such a caring woman in his life before.

From what she knew, many gorgeous women in Void Sect had tried flirting their way into his good books before, only to be resoundingly rejected by him.

It wasn't that Heptino didn't like women, but he had a stronger desire to experience love in its truest and purest form, be it from a relationship or a family bond.

Being a pure-hearted person, Heptino hated people who had hidden agendas for befriending him.

That was also why he found Gloria to be refreshingly different and why he treasured her even more.

Naturally, Gloria caught on to Heptino's weakness and made use of it, thus ensuring that he was one step closer to being fully controlled by her.

The more she stared at the holy ley line locations on the map, the brighter she smiled. "Haha! It's only a matter of time before I get my hands on these holy ley lines, and the best thing is, I won't even need to ask for them!"

My earlier ruse of rejecting his offer has worked brilliantly. Now, I have no doubt Heptino will gift the holy ley lines to me willingly. Who knows? He might even beg for me to accept them!

Gloria soon made her way back to the residence that Void Sect had provided her with, Cloud Chamber.

Even though she hadn't been in Void Sect for long, her status as an elder and her relationship with Primo were more than enough reasons to extend the privileges to her.

Thump, thump, thump! Upon hearing the knocks at the door, Gloria quickly kept her map away. "Come on in!"

The next second, Xylas strode into the room. "Master, I've completed the task you entrusted me with. Five more branch masters have joined our camp."

"Excellent!" Gloria said with a wide smile. "So, as of now, we've recruited three elders, fifteen branch masters, and more than a hundred Paladins. I'm glad our efforts have not been in vain. You've done very well. What we have to do next is to come up with a plan to let you and Wade become elders. However, that's not something we should rush. Otherwise, we might get caught, and the consequences would be dire."

"Don't worry about me and my father, Master. There's no hurry. You've only just gained your footing in the sect, and promoting members too quickly might attract suspicion," Xylas said. "It wouldn't be good if you got into trouble."

Not only had Gloria made rapid progress with her relationship with Heptino, but she had also been winning the hearts of many Void Sect members to build her own force.

Since she was an elder and had Primo backing her, plenty of people were more than happy to get into her good graces.

On top of that, Gloria had shown her generosity as soon as she learned about Heptino's cultivation resources, so it wasn't long before her scheming ways earned her the loyalty of several members.

After all, Void Sect had a strict hierarchy, and it'd be hard for anyone to make it big, especially for a Paladin like Grant. If he didn't align himself with Gloria, there was just no way he'd ever be able to get his hands on the cultivation resources.

Therefore, it was hardly surprising that Gloria's power in Void Sect grew stronger with each passing day.q
