Khloris had just gotten out of the shower, and her long hair was a mess. Anyone who saw that would surely think of something else.
Who could it be?
In that instance, Darryl and Khloris were silently hoping whoever was out there would leave.
"Master!"
Then, one alluring voice said, "I passed by and heard fighting sounds from your room. I thought it was assassins from the Elixir Sect."
That voice belonged to Sienna.
The Sword Sect and Elixir Sect had always had grudges—Sienna's assumptions made complete sense.
Sh*t!
Darryl and Khloris were shocked upon hearing that voice.
Sienna walked past the room earlier?
As they wondered in silence, another deep voice said, "What are we waiting for then? Let's go in now. We need to make sure the Deputy is safe."
Khloris shivered as her beautiful face showed a myriad of emotions.
She refused to be seen by the Sect Master and other disciples in that state.
Darryl was shocked too. 'F*ck! Sienna called Jedidiah over as well? She's obviously here to get revenge for embarrassing her and Diego earlier in the thatched cottage.'
Darryl was still in contemplation when ten or so disciples broke into the room. Jedidiah, Sienna, and Diego stood behind them.
Diego had brought Jedidiah with him.
When Sienna reported to Diego after hearing what happened inside the Sword Tower, Diego reported everything to Jedidiah without hesitation. He lied and said that an assassin had broken into the tower.
Jedidiah was shocked, summoned his elite disciples, and rushed to the scene.
Jedidiah's eyes were on Khloris and Darryl.
Jedidiah did not frown when he saw them. He looked at Darryl and then back at Khloris again and asked, "Deputy Sect Master, what's happening here? Why is he here?"
