The lady emanated an aura of elegance and authority.
“What are you doing here?” Wyntonʼs voice rang with hostility. He had deemed Teresa as an enemy since she had put his people under a seal.
Teresa made her way into the hall and sat in an empty seat. “I have heard that Jamesʼ wife, his children, and several humans from the Human Universe have been caught and detained at Mount Stoyan. As a member of the Chaos District, I couldnʼt possibly turn a blind eye to this.”
Wynton scoffed. “I donʼt think you are sincerely here to help. There’s a good chance that it was you who had leaked information to those district leaders about James. You might have lured those men to target James for the Tenfold Realms Transcendent Sutra and the sacred scrolls.”
“That’s simply nonsense. Why would I do that?!” Teresa rebuked, “Also, I saved James’ life in the past. If I were to harbor any ill will against him, I could have just done nothing and watched him die back then.”
“That’s enough.” Yardos raised his hand. “What matters most now is that we need to figure out how to rescue Jamesʼ family and friends.”
“We should just kill them.”
Livieʼs expression hardened into one of animosity. “Who cares if they are Chaos Rank cultivators? Dad is away for his meditation, and he is completely oblivious to this news. We need to rescue Mom and my siblings from those people.”
“What’s going on?” An elderly man with a beard walked into the hall at that moment. It was Wael, the former head of Tempris House.
“I heard that James’ wife had been taken captive. What on earth happened?”
“Sir Wael.” Wynona greeted the man respectfully.
On the other hand, Zula had a perplexed look in her eyes the instant she saw Wael entering the hall.
