Did You Kill Him?

"Bertram, are you going to go against me?" Grand Elder Archibald sneered. 

When his attack was about to hit Grey, Bertram blocked it, although, he was pushed back in the process. 

"I see no reason why an elderly like yourself would want to bully a junior." Bertram replied. 

He was prepared to go against Elder Archibald. 

"If it were before, you would've had some right to speak to me, but now, you're still lacking. The boy dared to kill someone from my lineage, I'm already showing mercy by not killing him." Grand Elder Archibald looked calm. 

He was an expert in the Half God Plane, what right did Bertram, someone who was still an Elemental Sovereign have to go against him?
