Belle was infuriated too. Snorting with anger, she resumed, "They are nothing but a group of seedy, disgusting cockroaches. I don't believe in the strength of those superior talents. If they confronted our Holy Lord Diana and the rule masters at that time, those bastards wouldn't stand a single chance of winning." Her words caught Darren's attention.
"Superior talents? Those who hit Elder Xenia are superior talents on the Talent Roll?" he asked, his brows creasing together in wonder.
"Yes, that is what I heard. After the fight, we investigated those bastards, thinking we would get even with them for what they did to my master. However, it turned out that they are on the Talent Roll and were able to reach the Wonder Realm before they could even turn thirty. When you think of it, it is pretty clear why their strength was so formidable and otherworldly. There simply wasn't a way for my master to overcome the attacks by so many Wonder Realm fighters," Belle explained with frustration and disgust. After what had happened to her master, her deep-seated grudge towards the Chasm Clan intensified even more. The Holy Lord Diana was originally planning of avenging Elder Xenia. But then, after finding out who the attackers really were, she held back from striking back at them because she knew that attacking them would very likely put the land and everyone in it in danger. So, everyone, including Elder Xenia herself, kept silent about it instead. She knew that the land's safety always had to come first.
Darren frowned, realizing how complex the situation actually was. "Do you know the actual ranks of those people?" he asked.
Belle shook her head. And then, her eyes dilated as she remembered something important. "I am not quite sure what their exact rankings are, but during the fight, one of them mentioned his own name - Charlie," she answered.
"That is a pity," Darren murmured. He had hoped to get even an estimate of how strong the top 100 fighters on the list were so that if he ever got the chance to fight them one day, he would know how strong he had to become so as to defeat them and get into the Talent Roll list.
As Darren thought about how strong the people on the Talent Roll were, Elder Xenia's weak and frail voice interrupted his train of thought. "All right, Belle, let's drop the unpleasant topic and talk about something else," she proposed, not wanting to dwell on the memory of her unpleasant experience any longer. Even though she hated those men with all her being, there was a part of her that blamed herself for going out of the Holy Land all by herself and causing so much trouble not just to herself, but especially to her own land.
Noticing her sadness, Belle tried to appease her. "Don't worry, master! Once I become powerful enough to win against them, I will take revenge for you. They will live to regret for what they have done to you!" she said.
Her eyes were lit up with determination as she spoke.
