We had been welcomed by the sect master into the palace rather easily, as she greeted us with a very gentle gesture and a gentle voice as well. The other Elders had tried to stop her, however, as she had ended kneeling and thanking us. Honestly, I couldn ’t help but feel like seeing someone so dignified as her kneeling felt wrong to me.

Although I still couldn ’t agree with the elders because I felt like they had to be more grateful, but kneeling wouldn ’t do any good to me to be honest. I am not one of those people that get a high over others paying respect to me, I prefer physical gifts, if possible, hehe…

Of course it would be quite bold to ask for stuff to this sect which had barely hanged out from being completely destroyed… however, the subject over them having let all those people die against the Shadow Beast in the previous wave was still there. It was a fact which we couldn ’t easily forget about, it was something quite terrible, in fact. I don ’t know what to think about this other than feel a bit conflicted with myself, but I guess we ’ll leave it up to them for now, we can adress this later.

”Sorry, I didn ’t meant to look bad to you… ” sighed the sect master. She was very polite, surprisingly polite for someone that let hundreds to die to the wolves.

”Well, don ’t worry about it. We had come here looking for a new sect to make some market deals and sell our goods, but we ended finding this entire thing and we decided to help in a whim, we have learned from some informants that you let hundreds of mortals die in the previous shadow beast invasion though. ” I said. I immediately decided to drop the bomb.

”W-What? How did you know!? ”

”T-This man knows this? ”

”It can ’t be… T-There was nobody else watching! ”

”T-This is bad… If the righteous faction knows we did such an atrocity… ”

”So you admit you let it happen. ” I said.

The Elders felt shocked once more. Some of them suddenly began to unleash their Mana Auras, foolishly beginning to desperately believe they can silence me.

”W-We have to do something, kill him! ”

”We can ’t let this go… ”

”T-There ’s no other way… ”
