Meanwhile, in Mystic Vessel Sect, Fabio was standing before his master, Hill Hackett. The former was feeling guilty, so his legs were trembling slightly.
"Are you saying that Brendan has Grus Divina, and he'll come back with it in two days' time?" Hill asked.
"Yes, Master. You asked to see me urgently, so I didn't get to meet up with Brendan. However, Brendan told me he was coming back with Grus Divina within the next three days!" Fabio told a lie because he didn't dare to tell his master that someone else had gotten Grus Divina. If I tell Master the truth, he'll punish me!
While looking at his disciple, Hill suddenly laughed out loud. A sense of foreboding rose within Fabio when he saw Hill laughing.
Slap!
The smile on Hill's face vanished in the next second, and it was replaced by a grim look when he delivered a tight slap across Fabio's face.
