Formerly known as Fren, the third son in the Zhuge family had been nicknamed as 'Fren the loony'.
Fren's ruthless and tyrannical behavior had earned him this nickname. He was always furious and presumptuous. And so everyone started to call him 'Fren the loony'.
"Oh?" The expression in Zen's eyes changed, and his face became more serious as he remarked, "Fren's servant. What great fame for you! Good prestige! How dare you instigate internal battles in Drizzle Peak?"
As with any other peaks, Drizzle Peak saw its share of in-fighting. But these struggles were internal affairs.
Now that another peak had stepped into Drizzle Peak's internal affairs, all disciples would unite. In fact, the other thirty-two peaks at Cloud Sect were like this, too. Everyone fought behind closed doors. But once they got involved in a fight outside, they united against their common enemy. Unparalleled and consistent.
Thomas had instigated Leo to attack Zen. This interference was taboo and a violation of laws. This was not allowed to happen here!
Therefore, Zen's observation drew the hostility of Drizzle Peak's disciples. Thomas was hurled into the spotlight.
An unfriendly expression grew on the faces of the spectators.
Once the thought clicked in everyone's mind, they all banded together against Thomas. Even though Drizzle Peak was ranked the last among the other peaks, the disciples still felt a strong sense of loyalty toward their Peak and peers.
Fren was powerful, and the Zhuge family was certainly a giant among the noble clans.
Did the power of the Zhuge family mean that the disciples of Drizzle Peak could be bullied? What angered the spectators even more was that Thomas was only a slave to Fren! He was not even a disciple at Cloud Sect.
Thomas was very calm. To him, these outer disciples were a group of rabble. He was confident that when they heard Fren's name, they would be scared and they would kneel before him. He sneered, "I am arrogant. So what? I did it. I instigated Leo to pick a fight. What can you do?"
"What can I do?" Zen turned and sought Sean from among the crowd. Then he asked aloud, "Sean, will I be held responsible for teaching him a lesson?"
