Suddenly, one of the disciples stepped forward and asked in disbelief, “Mr. Holt, did you kill our previous lord?”
“I did. He was weak and useless. That was why Emerald Cauldron Sect was struggling all those years. Don't you see how mighty Emerald Cauldron Sect has become after I took reign?” Hosen admitted to the allegation rather casually.
Many of the disciples were stunned by those words, but they kept silent.
Hosen's quick admission of guilt caught Viola by surprise.
There and then, Ghaylen raised his sword and yelled, “Fellow disciples, since Hosen has already admitted his crime, let's unite and kill this betrayer! We must avenge our previous lord!”
“Kill the betrayer! Avenge our previous lord!” Ghaylen's disciples shouted.
However, the rest of the disciples kept mum.
Seeing that, Ghaylen looked at Ebenez and asked, “Ebenez, our previous lord treated you well. Are you not uniting with us to take down Hosen?”
Deep down, Ghaylen knew the answer to that question, but he wanted to hear it from Ebenez himself.
“Ghaylen, I never like fighting. Therefore, I'm sitting out. To me, Hosen is a worthy lord.” Ebenez smiled and took a few steps backward to show his reluctance to interfere.
Although Ghaylen had seen that coming, he was still livid.
