Over the next few rounds, despite their quick attacking speed, Leonard and Elder Myron still couldn't manage to snatch Duchess Silver away from the man with the bamboo hat, let alone get half a meter near him.
The jaws of those who witnessed the scene dropped to the floor because they never expected the man in the bamboo hat to be a strong spirit manipulator. But to their astonishment, Leonard and Elder Myron whose strengths were at the premium grade of the Supernal Stage still weren't successful in snatching Duchess Silver from the mysterious man. The feeling of shock they all felt was inconceivable!
As Leonard and Elder Myron continued their fierce fight to grab Duchess Silver from their opponent, the maid who had previously delivered a message rushed to the third floor.
"My Lady, someone has captured Duchess Silver successfully. However, two warriors who are unwilling to admit their defeat are trying to grab it and are currently in a battle with its captor!" the maid reported hurriedly.
"Someone captured Duchess Silver?" Sabina asked in disbelief. She always thought that unless it was a peerless master of the Divine Stage, it would be nearly impossible for even a master at the premium grade of the Supernal Stage to conquer and capture her Duchess Silver.
She shared the same sentiments with her father, Elvis.
In the midst of all their confusion and doubt, the father and daughter immediately walked to the pavilion corridor. As they gazed below, they found Leonard and Elder Myron locked in a battle with the man donning the bamboo hat.
Sabina's gaze fell on the stranger. What astonished her wasn't just that he managed to capture Duchess Silver, but that he skillfully avoided his opponents' attacks as if he were just taking a leisurely stroll in a courtyard.
"This is no ordinary man. Even the chief of the Xiong Clan and Elder Myron can't take Duchess Silver away from him." Elvis noticed that the man in the bamboo hat appeared to hide his true strength.
"Could he be…" Sabina pondered as she took a closer look at the stranger and then at Duchess Silver, who she noticed stayed close to him. Suddenly, she trembled as a thought came to her. She jumped out of the pavilion corridor and landed on the first floor.
"Sabina?" Seeing his daughter's abrupt behavior confused Elvis even more. He didn't understand why his daughter was in such a hurry to get to the battle below.
By then, everyone gazed at Sabina whose robe floated around her like fairy wings as she landed. They all frantically rushed towards her.
She was surrounded by a large group of people once she made it to the first floor.
"Get out of my way!" Sabina shouted.
Suddenly, the crowd parted to allow her to pass through and rush straight toward the three men still locked in combat.
"Chief Leonard! Elder Myron! Don't you think it's unfair for you two to bully the weak with your seniority and strength? And let's not forget that you outnumber him!" Sabina questioned them with her icy stare.
"Miss Sabina, you've misunderstood our intentions. Elder Myron and I were suspicious of this man, all the more because he covered his face. We suspected that he may be plotting something evil to harm you, so we thought it would be best to take him for interrogation. However, this person has willfully disobeyed us and failed to cooperate. Am I right, Elder Myron?" Leonard explained immediately, his voice high-pitched and a subtle change of expression on his face.
"Yes, you're right. That's exactly what happened!" Elder Myron nodded in agreement.
Sabina glared at the two before addressing the man in the bamboo hat, "Since you've managed to capture Duchess Silver, you've passed my test. Follow me." She then turned and walked towards the pavilion.
