"Sir! What just happened? You, you have reached the Wonder Realm already? That's amazing!"
Thomas reacted firstly. Achieving the Wonder Realm was too tough for sect elders like them.
"Congratulations, Sir! That's so great! You've made it!" the other two said in amusement. However, Michael seemed to neglect their praises and question as he was disappointed earlier when they didn't obey him.
"That was not what I wanted you to see. I wanted you to stop, so I had no resort but to use my power. Now, if you three ignored my words once more, you would only earn you severe punishment! Remember?" Michael said seriously and angrily. Then he turned back after scolding the three.
The three knelt at once and answered simultaneously, "Yes, sir!"
"All right now! You should leave. I will take care of this kid."
"Yes, Sir!" Alan answered first and hid a smirk on his face. On the other hand, Alan had done the thing he planned and got the result. Besides, Darren was not his top one suspect for his son's death. So he had no reason to stay here anymore.
Full of killing intent, Alan shot a cold glare at Jerome. Then he jumped into the air, leaving away frustrated.
Then the elder of the School of Arrow Skill left with Jerome. Thomas and Elsa, however, were still on the spot. They were hesitant to leave Darren.
"Thomas, it's time for you and your daughter to leave now. Your daughter has a great future. She is a talented cultivator. I can see it very well," Michael gently said and looked at Elsa with a satisfied smile.
"Are you sure that you only need Darren, Sir? After all, he is my student..." Thomas respectfully opposed as he made a bow to Michael. He was only worried that Darren might do a mistake with Michael.
"I know that, Thomas. You are the one I trust most. And I hope I can win the same trust from you as a return," he said with authority.
"Sir, what do you want to do to Darren? If you want to punish him, I will stay here and accept the same punishment," a feminine voice interrupted. Elsa firmly stood up for Darren, with determination sparkling in her eyes. She was worried for Darren too, as his true strength might get revealed.
However, the young lad Darren, who had been speechless for a while, spoke, "I will go with you, Sir, if that is necessary. I wouldn't wish to disobey the order from the sect leader. Elder Thomas, Elsa, you don't have to worry about me. I will come back soon."
Elsa was still doubtful, and she wanted to tag along. But before her next word escaped from her open mouth, Darren interrupted Elsa at once, "I will be fine Elsa. Don't worry. Go back with your father."
So Elsa couldn't do anything and only nodded at Darren, trusting every word he said.
"Go now!"
Michael, activating a gentle force, held Darren's arm and both of them disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"Will Darren be in danger?"
Elsa talked to herself, standing still like a statue.
