Ghaylen turned to look at Ebenez. For a moment, he could not tell if Ebenez was speaking the truth. However, at that point, he had no choice but to believe his words.
Ghaylen could not think of any other possible methods to resolve the situation besides working with Ebenez.
“I trust you, Ebenez. We'll wait for Ms. Viola to reveal Hosen's true colors during the sect meeting and regain control over Emerald Cauldron Sect,” Ghaylen said.
“Okay. I'll make the arrangements now. If we work together to help Ms. Viola get back Emerald Cauldron Sect, everything will turn out fine.” Ebenez then turned to Viola. “Ms. Viola, I'll be taking my leave now.”
“Thank you, Mr. Erdell,” Viola replied politely.
Once Ebenez was gone, Viola turned to Ghaylen and asked, “Mr. Samoll, do you think Mr. Erdell is someone we can trust?”
Ghaylen was silent for a moment. “I don't know either, but we have no choice but to trust him now. I hope that he truly wants to help us for the sake of the previous lord.”
Viola fell silent. Now, their success was dependent on Ebenez.
Once Ebenez was out of Ghaylen's place, a smug smile grew on his face.
Instead of returning to his own house, he headed straight to Hosen.
“Ebenez, it's rather late. Why are you here?” Hosen asked when he saw Ebenez.
“Hosen, there's something I want to tell you,” Ebenez replied.
“What is it?” Hosen closed his eyes and leaned back on his chair lazily.
Ebenez glanced at the two disciples at the side before dismissing them with a wave. “Leave the room. I have something to report to Mr. Holt.”
The few disciples froze, then looked at Hosen in unison.
After all, Hosen was the one they answered to, not Ebenez.
“You guys can leave,” Hosen muttered, waving his hand.
Once the disciples were gone, Ebenez hurried over to Hosen and started whispering to him.
Upon listening to Ebenez's story, Hosen widened his eyes and leaped off his chair.
“Is that really true, Ebenez?” Hosen asked in shock.
