Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman Chapter 271 - 270, The Crisis from the Goddess Eleanor_1

Secret Sword Legion.

Arlene’s face darkened. With only thirty people left in the Legion, if this continued, she would be the only one remaining. How could they continue to fight?

Eleanor strode into the Legion’s headquarters.

Arlene stood up. "My Lady."

"Where is Jiang Chen!"

"I don’t know."

"Contact him immediately with the Legion Badge and have him e back as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Jiang Chen looked at the badge message.

Arlene: Return to the Legion immediately.

Jiang Chen: What’s the matter?

Arlene: The Goddess is looking for you.

Jiang Chen: What does she want with me?

Arlene: I don’t know, just hurry back.

Jiang Chen: I’m busy.

Arlene: Don’t be like that. She’s the Goddess, and she’s currently within the Legion. e back, and then we’ll talk.

Jiang Chen looked at the message and teleported into the Legion. Soon, Jiang Chen appeared in the Teleportation Array, where he saw Arlene standing beside it and Eleanor sitting to one side.

Arlene turned and said, "Divine Lady, Jiang Chen has arrived."

Jiang Chen disliked this woman the most. She lacked strength and wisdom, yet claimed to be some "Daughter of God"—She’s nothing more than a pig; even a pig has more wisdom than her, he thought.

Eleanor, still seated, said, "Jiang Chen, I need you to join my team."

"You might be disappointed, but I have no such plans." Jiang Chen refused Eleanor’s invitation without hesitation; she was not his kind of person.

You think I’ll join just because you ask? Who the hell do you think you are! I can’t be bothered with you.

"What is your relationship with Christie Burton?"

"That seems to be none of your business!"

Someone beside Eleanor rebuked indignantly, "How dare you speak to the Goddess like that!"

Jiang Chen laughed. "How? Do you expect me to kneel and answer? Sorry, I don’t have a habit of kneeling. If you don’t like it, you don’t have to listen."

"Whatever Christie Burton gives you, I can give you too."

"You can’t."

"Why not?"

"Look, it’s like how you’re sitting now, and I’m standing. What makes you think you’re entitled to sit while talking to me?"

Arlene, very anxious, whispered softly, "Jiang Chen." She’s the Goddess; how can he be so bold?

Eleanor stood up, her voice cold. "Now I’m standing and talking to you. Is that acceptable? You’re a member of the Secret Sword Legion, of the Gregory Family, and also..."

Jiang Chen cut her off. "You’re wrong. I don’t belong to anyone, nor am I anyone’s subordinate. You need to get that straight."

Eleanor was furious. This damn guy!

"What exactly do you want?" she demanded.

"Divine Lady, that’s the question I should be asking you. What exactly do *you* want? I am not your subordinate, nor will I take your orders. If you expect me to follow you, that’s impossible."

"The only reason I returned to the Secret Sword Legion was for Arlene’s sake, not because you are the Divine Lady. You need to understand that clearly."

Jiang Chen looked at Arlene. "If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving."

Jiang Chen turned and entered the Teleportation Array, giving Eleanor no chance to respond.

Unfortunately, he ran right into Arno.

Arno said indifferently, "Ready to leave?"

"I have no such intention. I just don’t like that so-called Goddess. I will stay with the Secret Sword Legion."

"Originally, I had you join my sister’s Legion only to help her mature quickly. That girl isn’t too bright and isn’t a qualified Legion mander. I also wanted you to protect her. If you find a better opportunity, leaving is fine. As for your sister, I will make arrangements for her as well."

"Your departure won’t make me renege on our agreement."

Jiang Chen smiled but didn’t speak. Instead, he took out a cigarette and lit it. "What’s the situation now?" he asked.

"The Underworld is amassing a large Underworld Army, likely preparing to counterattack our world. The Xileruo World will probably bee the battlefield. This will be a war of attrition, and many will participate."

"Doesn’t the Alliance of All-Gods have any effective countermeasures?"

"The Alliance also has large armies, but they haven’t joined the fight yet. Once the situation bees critical, they will all take part—most of them are [Cataclysm] Sequence Masters. There’s not much to worry about. The Sons of God are just unassigned personnel; this surprise attack is merely a test for them."

"Did Eleanor look for you?"

"Yes."

"She is not a petent mander. If she fails, her status as a Son of God will be stripped, and she will bee a [Cataclysm], just like any ordinary [Cataclysm] Sequence Master."

"The Bach Family should send powerful individuals to support her. After all, she holds the status of Goddess. If she’s stripped of her identity, it would bee a laughingstock."

"Who is the strongest in the Bach Family?"

"It should be a Demigod."

"..."

Arno knew what Jiang Chen was worried about. "A Demigod definitely won’t intervene. People like them don’t participate in such wars; they fight on higher planes. If they were to join this battle, forget a million people—the entire world would tremble."

"A single spell cast casually could destroy the entire world."

Jiang Chen nodded and turned to leave.

「Inside the Gregory Family.」

Eleanor bellowed, "What in the hell is going on? Jiang Chen is from your Gregory Family! Why isn’t he obeying my orders? Whatever it takes, he must bee my subordinate; he must serve me!"

Roy was in a very bad mood. Eleanor had stormed into the Gregory Family residence, flying into a rage. It was only after Arlene recounted what had happened that Roy understood the extent of the trouble: Jiang Chen had openly defied Eleanor, showing her no respect whatsoever.

You don’t know how to be discreet, do you? Even if you don’t respect her, couldn’t you at least pretend? Why did you have to make it so obvious!

Eleanor asked, "Does he have any family?"

Arno’s brows furrowed tightly, and he said, "Divine Lady, that is a foolish decision. If you threaten him with his family, it will only backfire."

"What did you say?" Eleanor’s face turned grim.

She had intended to negotiate with Jiang Chen, but he had pletely disregarded her. Who does he think he is?

As a Goddess, Eleanor was accustomed to being high and mighty. She naturally couldn’t swallow this insult. If she couldn’t even handle a single human, how could she ever bee a mander?

Although Jiang Chen was currently a Ninth Stage [Apostle], he had family. If being lenient didn’t work, then it was time to be harsh.

Roy said, "Arno, apologize quickly! Don’t you realize you are standing before a Goddess? How can you be so reckless?"

"Divine Lady, please forgive Arno’s ignorance," Roy said, bowing his head in a hasty apology.

"Hmph. Considering your loyal service, I will let it go this once. I do not want there to be a next time." Eleanor then left furiously. Reaching the door, she stopped and said coldly, "I need his information, the more detailed the better. I will make him understand the consequences of crossing me."

Eleanor swept out of the room.

Roy watched her leave. "Arno," he said, "do you realize what you just said? Do you understand that we are affiliated with the Bach Family, and Eleanor is the Bach Family’s Goddess? Foolish she may be, but she is still a Goddess."

"What you did could endanger our Clan."

Arno nodded. "I know."

"And you still said it!"

Arno fell silent, then walked out. "I’ll figure something out," he said.

Arno, too, was helpless in the face of such an idiot. But his eyes revealed a hint of killing intent...
