"It is fine if you did not stop the Sect Master from threatening the girl, but you allowed it to happen. It is a disgrace since you are a senior in the community.
"And now you want me to join you in bullying the weak? Shameless! It's a disgrace for the Heavenly Ocean Sect to have you as an elder."
His voice was clear and unmistakable.
"You—" Martin's face turned pale, and he was exasperated. He pointed at Darryl, wanting to refute, but he could not utter a word.
At the same time, the people around Darryl were enraged and glared at him.
Darryl appeared to be reprimanding Martin, but he was actually criticizing everyone in the room. They were all prominent members of the community. How could they allow Darryl to act so arrogantly?
Looking at everyone's facial expression, Darryl smiled softly. He was not bothered and turned to Lindsey. "I'll bring you out of here later."
'What?' Everyone immediately erupted in rage.
Everyone, including Adam and Martin, was enraged, and their faces contorted in rage.
Finally, one of the disciples of the Heavenly Ocean Sect shouted, "Darryl, do you really think we'd be afraid of attacking you just because you're the head of the Pure Yang Division's Elixir Sector? You sounded so righteous, claiming that you wanted to protect that girl. Aren't you doing that for the treasures?"
Immediately, many of them nodded in agreement.
"That's right. You act like a righteous man, but deep down, you're also a villain."
"How dare you criticize us?"
"If we're the villains, then you're no better than us."
Everyone started to criticize Darryl. They assumed Darryl's protection of Lindsey was motivated by a desire to get the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret in the statue.
Darryl smiled as everyone scolded him. "Why would I need to do what you did to get the Spirit of the Heavenly Secret?" Then, he glanced at the Profound Armor Formation nearby.
Darryl was not bragging. Based on his formations achievements, he would have no trouble resolving the Profound Armor Formation.
'Huh?' Everyone was startled for a moment, thinking they had misheard.
'What is Darryl talking about? Did he say that he doesn't need that girl to do anything for him to resolve the Profound Armor Formation?'
