However, the moment Elder Rick spoke, Elder Turner interjected, rebuking, "Fane is right. You did all of that just to settle your grudges. After Elder Maurice investigated the matter, it's been proven that you did everything for that reason. Rick! How dare you!"
Elder Turner's tone sounded demanding, imposing; it was obvious just how angry he was. Elder Rick panicked at that moment, never expecting Elder Turner to point the gun at him so quickly.
The other elders were completely baffled by this, not knowing what was happening at all, especially with Elder Turner. Everything Elder Turner had done seemed to be for the sake of protecting Fane, much to their confusion.
Why did he want to protect a sixth-grade alchemist? Was there something to Fane that they did not know about?
Before anyone could voice their questions, Elder Turner said, "You know better than anyone what you've done. Don't even think about denying it.
"You never knew whether Fane had the ability of a seventh-grade alchemist at all. Even though you didn't know it, you still recommended Fane for the sake of humiliating him. As an Elder, don't you know how important the tournament is? For the sake of your revenge, you didn't care about anything else!"
Elder Rick trembled at Elder Turner's words. Judging by his behavior and words, Elder Turner was planning on punishing him!
At that moment, Elder Rick no longer cared about his dignity and immediately went down on his knees.
He raised his voice as he explained, "I didn't! I just felt like Fane was suitable. Didn't we win this time?
Phoenix Valley wasn't affected by this, which means that nothing is wrong with the recommendation!"
Elder Turner sneered. "No, there wasn't. It's good that you recommended Fane; it's because of him that our valley has turned the tides in the tournament!"
