'D*mn it!' Cumulonimbus was furious when he heard Diego and Sienna. 'How dare they call Darryl a thief?'
Without much thought, he slapped Diego across the face! Cumulonimbus had exerted almost all his power in that slap and a loud, clear sound was heard. Diego spun in a circle and his face was swollen.
Diego was stunned. After regaining his balance, he held his hand and looked at Cumulonimbus. "You… Why did you hit me? I was catching a thief for you."
At the same time, Sienna could not help but say, "Did you get the wrong person?"
As she spoke, she looked at Diego, heartbroken.
Immediately, Cumulonimbus slapped Diego again and shouted, "Thief? Open your eyes and look clearly. He's my VIP and you've slandered him. Am I wrong to hit you?"
'What? That guy is Sect Master Swae's VIP?' Diego froze and his mind was buzzing.
Sienna's body also trembled and she was completely disoriented.
A few seconds later, Diego collected his thoughts and said to Cumulonimbus unwillingly, "Sect Master Swae, you must have been cheated by this guy. He's a liar and earlier Sienna and I saw him stealing pills with our very own eyes."
Until then, Diego was still in denial that the guy with a face full of marks could have a good reputation.
Cumulonimbus chuckled out of rage and pointed at Diego as he growled, "You fool! How would I mistake the person who saved me? Back at the Chaotic Mountain Range, I would have died long ago if it wasn't for him. His identity is known throughout The Nine Mainland."
'Huh? This guy was in the war against the Raksasa Tribe, and also saved Sect Master Swae's life? More importantly, his identity is known throughout the Nine Mainland? Who on earth is this guy?' Diego and Sienna were baffled.
As he wondered to himself, Diego became apprehensive! Sienna was also stunned and she was trembling. Her legs became so weak she was almost unable to stand. She saw how respectful and humble Cumulonimbus, a Sect Master, was acting before Darryl. 'How could this be? I thought this guy just happened to be more powerful than me. How could he be someone extraordinary?'
