In truth, on their way there, Fane had been trying to figure out why they were being called over to the Elder Hall. Various thoughts surfaced in his head, but Fane could not be sure about the exact reason they were being summoned.
However, he no longer needed to think about it then, because the answer was right in front of him. When Harold heard the footsteps, he immediately turned his head around with Johnson to look at Fane and Rudy.
When Harold saw Fane's face, his miserable look suddenly became incredibly cold and sinister. He stared at Fane with a venomous look in his eyes.
He wanted nothing more than to rush over and beat Fane up. Fane was already immune to how Harold was looking at him. No matter how the guy looked at him, he ignored it.
Fane and Rudy arrived in front of the three elders.
After they bowed, Elder Eliot introduced Fane to those he did not know. The one who sat in the middle was Elder Baggin, who held the highest position. The one on the left was Elder Rick while the one on the right was Elder Eliot.
The unknown person kneeling below was Langston Abbot, an inner disciple of Phoenix Valley. He was a close friend of Michael. After the introductions, Fane started to have even more doubts in his heart.
Elder Rick coughed slightly as he slowly stood up from his seat. He looked at Fane with a warm expression before saying, "There's something I need to ask you."
Fane nodded as he quietly stood on the spot, not saying anything else. Elder Rick raised an eyebrow, unable to stop himself from regarding Fane better at Fane's calm and composed demeanor. However, the more Fane acted that way, the harder it would be for them to handle the matter.
He took a deep breath as he said, "Harold was being threatened. He did something like that because he had no other choice. I will have him apologize to you in a moment.
