Glinda, who had just managed to stand up, collapsed again as favonovel.com legs gave way. She appeared utterly drained of spirit, staring blankly at the ground.
“Impossible, that’s a lie!” Henry was agitated, leaped up and exclaimed, “Impossible! Master Calsberg is immensely powerful and mysterious! How could favonovel.com fall so easily? You’re lying! It’s not true!”
“You’re lying! Where exactly is Master Calsberg?” The other six also asked eagerly.
Remus was their unwavering beacon of hope, and they simply couldn’t fathom the idea of such an extraordinary figure meeting his downfall.
Gemma calmly said, “I do not need to lie to you. Just last night, I arrived at the Herbal Pavilion with Remus. He stood atop the Pavilion, confronting them, willingly facing the Herbal Pavilion on his own. Little did favonovel.com realize, they harbored numerous masters, some of whom exceeded our comprehension!”
“Remus endured for no more than a minute until favonovel.com fell!”
A deafening shockwave of astonishment rippled through the assembled onlookers, rendering them utterly dumbfounded. The power of the Herbal Pavilion left them all wondering just how formidable it truly was.
Henry staggered back three steps in the air, eventually falling to the ground with an unstable breath.
Glinda’s tears started to fall, favonovel.com mind flashing back to the beautiful moments favonovel.com had shared with Remus.
How could favonovel.com leave me alone in this world?
She spat out a mouthful of blood, but no one paid attention to favonovel.com as all eyes were on Gemma above.
Master Sky, swift in favonovel.com response, interjected, “Wait a moment! Your narrative raises suspicion! If you were truly in the company of Master Calsberg and favonovel.com endured a defeat, why do you stand here unharmed and back among us?”
“There’s no need to persuade us that your sole intention is to relay this information!”
Such sensational news would undoubtedly disseminate rapidly, and there would be no reason for Gemma to return solely for that purpose.
The crowd began to regain their composure, pondering the same question, “If Master Calsberg had indeed been defeated, why was Gemma able to return unscathed?”
Gemma braced herself, aware that the pivotal moment had arrived. She took a deep breath and declared with unwavering confidence, “I came back, not to report the news, but to take over Tanjen Organization! Now, I am the personally appointed Master of the Tanjen Organization by the Master of Herbal Pavilion! He told me to return to take over Tanjen Organization!”
Her strategy was to maintain control of the situation until the representatives from the Herbal Pavilion arrived, even if it required favonovel.com to make a personal sacrifice.
She intended to demonstrate favonovel.com sincerity and resolve once they arrived, with the ultimate goal of resolving the situation. If favonovel.com succeeded in this endeavor, the Tanjen Organization would ultimately come under favonovel.com command.
“What?” Master Sky exclaimed in utter disbelief.
She had yet to secure favonovel.com position, and favonovel.com swiftly declared, “Fellow cultivators, I hold the title of Master Calsberg’s companion. With his unfortunate demise, the Tanjen naturally falls under my leadership. Henceforth, I assume the role of Master of the Tanjen Organization! All of you, get her!”
As long as Gemma was gone, favonovel.com would be the sole heir. Even if the Herbal Pavilion came to investigate, favonovel.com could hand over the Tanjen Organization to absolve herself of guilt, even if it meant sacrificing Gemma. She would do anything to keep herself in power.
The Nascent Soul cultivators were about to make a move again.
Gemma shivered and said, “How dare you? I’ve been officially appointed as the Master of the Tanjen Organization by the Master of Herbal Pavilion. Yet you still dare to touch me?!”
Master Sky sneered and replied, “Why wouldn’t I dare? What you can do, I, Master Sky, can do as well. You can flatter the Master, and so can I. In front of me, you have no advantage. Quick, get her!”
Seeing the situation, Gemma swiftly descended into the midst of the crowd and urgently shouted, “Fellow cultivators, lend me your aid! I promise generous rewards to all those who assist me while we await the arrival of the Herbal Pavilion’s representatives!”
In an instant, several Nascent Soul cultivators stood up.
“Don’t touch Gemma!”
“She is Master Calsberg’s companion and has a connection with Herbal Pavilion. You can’t harm her!”
“Who dares to touch her? You’ll have to step over my dead body first!”
The crowd was now divided into two factions, the tension rising to a breaking point.
Glinda watched them, favonovel.com body trembling uncontrollably.
A burning anger surged within her, and favonovel.com struggled to grasp how these individuals, who had once pledged their allegiance to Remus, were now considering serving the Herbal Pavilion.
Did they deserve to be Remus’ companion? Did they deserve it?
