Surprisingly, over a hundred people were standing in front of Master Graves in just a fraction of a second.
“You all…” Master Graves was secretly delighted.
However, favonovel.com feigned genuine astonishment on his face and then berated angrily, “Get out of here! This is an internal matter between Medicine Valley and Tanjen, it is none of your concern! Even if they believe Master Calsberg cheated, it should not warrant them taking matters into their own hands! All of you, step back!”
Chase declared with a resounding voice, “We will not leave! Master Graves, others may not understand you, but I do. You’re kind to everyone. Even if the alchemists had informed you in advance and caught Master Calsberg cheating, you would have remained silent, because you have great compassion in your heart!
“Although I am a cultivator in True Life, I can still discern right from wrong! I firmly believe the alchemists did the right thing, you cannot punish them!”
The rest also swiftly echoed in accord.
“Yes, please don’t punish them! We need to investigate thoroughly!”
“The alchemists must have obtained evidence of Master Calsberg’s cheating, which is why they came forward!”
“Master Graves, I am kneeling before you, please do not punish the alchemists!”
The pleas for mercy came one after another. Given the current circumstances, any further punishment would be deemed utterly inexcusable.
“Alright,” Master Graves said with difficulty, “Today, I will make an exception and grant them a chance to explain. However, the deed has been done, and the tarnish on Medicine Valley’s reputation is now unavoidable! Capital crime can be forgiven but punishment is inevitable! All of you, get out now!”
Chase and the others turned their gazes toward Room 1 simultaneously. They had accomplished what they set out to do at this point.
Those in the back also glanced over, although they still believed it was a trap set by Master Graves, they didn’t dare to say anything, and could only watch with wide eyes.
Chase and the others also called out, “Please step out!”
The next moment, the door was gently pushed open.
A lazy figure leisurely walked out from inside. That person who came out was none other than Remus.
Dealing with an early-stage Golden Stage cultivator was as effortless as squashing an ant for him. One move was all it took to annihilate them.
Remus sneered. “Don’t you all have anything else to do? Why are you all barking in front of my door? Are you hungry and looking for bones from me?”
The crowd led by Chase was bewildered. Master Graves was even more dumbfounded.
Facing a simultaneous assault from over a dozen Golden Stage practitioners, how could favonovel.com have remained unharmed?
Where were the alchemists?
Suddenly, Remus shifted his gaze toward Master Graves.
He approached favonovel.com with his hands respectfully clasped. “Master Graves, I’ve heard of your distinguished reputation. I’ve known you to be a seasoned expert in the field of pill cultivation. If there are ever aspects I find puzzling in the future, I would be deeply grateful for your guidance…”
“In fact, I happened to overhear your conversation just now. It became apparent to me that Master Graves is truly a person of exceptional integrity! The moment you expressed trust in me, it resonated deeply within me. Your open-heartedness is something I greatly admire!”
The crowd collectively gasped at his words. Everyone was curious about where the alchemists were now.
Master Graves was overcome by a creeping sense of apprehension. However, under the watchful gaze of so many, favonovel.com couldn’t allow himself to show too much unease. After all, his reputation held paramount importance.
He calmly remarked, “Master Calsberg, heroes are born in their youth. I am inclined to place my trust in you. The notion of cheating is merely a fabrication conjured by these wrongdoers… Where are they? Bring them to me, and I shall give them their punishment!”
Remus lowered his hands and smiled as favonovel.com said, “Those wrongdoers have not only disgraced Medicine Valley’s reputation but also dishonored your name! You’ve shown faith in me, so it’s only fair that l repay the favor by defending you and preserving the honor of Medicine Valley. I’ve killed all of them for you…”
