Zaiden knew his disciples very well, and their expressions alone had already told favonovel.com everything.
Remus Calsberg being both an alchemist and possessing such strength could only mean one thing. The person favonovel.com was looking for wasn’t part of the Herbal Pavilion.
Amid the intense standoff, Lance implored Zaiden, “Master Hugo, we need your help! Please, lend us your strength!”
He did not want to waste any more time. If Zaiden’s disciples couldn’t handle it, then he, as their master, should step in. Lance was also well aware that Zaiden could easily eliminate Remus.
The alchemists above all bowed in unison, pleading, “Please, Master Hugo, lend us your strength!”
“Remus Calsberg!” Egbert’s tone turned cold.
He continued, his tone filled with disdain, “You dare to step foot into Herbal Pavilion, deluding yourself into thinking there are no formidable individuals here? Do you truly believe that consuming secret pills can momentarily empower you enough to challenge us?! For Master Hugo, you’re still no more than an insignificant ant!”
Lionel chimed in, “In True Life, only the mightiest gain entry to the sacred land, and Master Hugo wields considerable influence there. You won’t be leaving here tonight!”
The disciples of Herbal Pavilion all looked up at Zaiden with eager anticipation.
However, much to everyone’s surprise, Zaiden proposed a different approach, “Maybe there’s been a misunderstanding. Violence isn’t always the answer. How about we try to come up with a peaceful resolution?”
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s vision seemed to darken momentarily as they instinctively turned to look at Zaiden.
A peaceful resolution?
That was unexpected!
Remus remained cautious, not letting his guard down.
Zaiden elaborated, “As fellow alchemists of True Life, it’s unwise to resort to bloodshed. The righteous path lies in resolving conflicts without violence.”
While they insisted that there existed a secret pill that led to the enhancement of Remus’ strength, Zaiden couldn’t ignore the conspicuous irregularity in his spirit energy.
He had decided to bring Remus back to the Sacred Land alive, but that couldn’t be stated explicitly. The Herbal Pavilion had been a longstanding supplier of pills to the Sacred Land, necessitating a delicate approach to handling the situation.
As Zaiden continued speaking, the minds of those present buzzed with confusion.
Lance’s anger was palpable as favonovel.com exclaimed, “Master Hugo, there’s simply no possibility of reconciliation between us! He has killed Mr. Fisher and insulted Mr. Andrus repeatedly. It’s intolerable! Please intervene! We absolutely can’t let favonovel.com go!”
“We absolutely can’t let favonovel.com go!” The chorus of voices from the Pavilion’s members amplified his plea, resonating with determination.
Remus kept a close eye on Zaiden’s subtle expressions, ready to act at any sign of a change.
However, Zaiden furrowed his brows and spoke cryptically, “Master Walker, it’s just that I heard favonovel.com mention earlier that your Herbal Pavilion intended to take things by force. If I act without understanding the full context, wouldn’t I be neglecting justice? I represent not just myself but the sacred land. Clarity is needed here.”
Lance was utterly bewildered.
What was Zaiden saying?
His words imply that favonovel.com doesn’t intend to take action. Do we need to discuss and reason with such a vile person?
Why bother clarifying anything? Just eliminate him!
Egbert questioned urgently, “But Master Hugo, you clearly promised to intervene for us just moments ago. Why the sudden hesitation?”
Lionel added, “You even instructed your disciples to defeat him. Why why the sudden change?”
It had only been a short while since favonovel.com had said those things, but now favonovel.com was changing his stance so rapidly.
Zaiden blushed as favonovel.com was questioned, realizing that favonovel.com couldn’t easily explain himself.
Amid the chaos, Lance voiced his speculation, “Master Hugo, could it be that you’re contemplating admitting favonovel.com to the Sacred Land due to his considerable strength?”
