Monica sat atop her throne and smiled. "Are all of you doubting me?"
Monica's voice was not loud, but could clearly be heard across the entire plaza as a powerful aura emanated from her body! 1
The Cult Mistress's aura was truly powerful.
"No, Mistress. I dared not!"
Sheldon's body trembled as he prostrated and repeatedly knocked his head against the ground before retreating to the side soon after.
Monica said slowly, "Darryl rescued the Oracle candidates and for this deed, he's entirely worthy to b e the Elder Master. The Cult Master and I have discussed this and come to this decision together. Darryl is a talented man and will be able to handle this huge responsibility."
Everyone silenced themselves with none dared to speak another word.
Meanwhile, Darryl was thrilled beyond measure!
'Naha, it seems the Elder Master position is rather high!' thought Darryl.
"Darryl, stay here for today. The Cult Master is cultivating in seclusion and will finish within two days. You’ve been granted the Elder Master title, so
we'll be holding the Elder Master's Banquet in your honor tonight. You cannot be absent," said Monica slowly.
The Elder Master’s Banquet was held every time an Elder Master was chosen. It was also a way for the Elder Master to show off his recognition.
This was a tradition that could not be changed.
Darryl was unaware of this and simply smiled before saying, "This... I don’t want to trouble you for this."
Darryl had been on Elysian Island for a long time while Dax's condition was still unknown.
Darryl was really nervous and wanted to quickly return to Donghai City.
'What?'
'He doesn't want to attend the banquet?'
The people around were instantly perplexed. They stared at Darryl like he was a fool.
Monica furrowed her eyebrows as well. "Darryl, you have to attend your own banquet as the Elder Master. I t won’t be called the Elder Master's Banquet if the Elder Master himself was absent, right? This is the tradition of Grandmaster Heaven Cult, do you think it's a game?"
Darryl was terrified upon seeing Monica's expression.
It seemed Darryl could not afford to be absent for this banquet. Eventually, he relented and decided to stay for a night. He would take this opportunity to harvest the exotic plants on the island.
Darryl hastily replied after some thoughts. "Mistress, you’re mistaken. I just thought I'm already receiving such great treatment for my first time here at the Altar and was momentarily taken aback when you would go as far as dedicating a banquet just for me. I've decided to swear my loyalty to Grandmaster Heaven Cult, the Cult Master and the Cult Mistress!”
Darryl was pleased with his own wittiness.
