Zoey and Emma were gazing at Levi with a disappointed look on their face.
They were obstinate that Levi should express his gratitude toward Lance.
In their heads, that was the right thing for Levi to do.
“Come here, Levi! You must kneel and bow to Lance!”
Cora was glaring at Levi with gravitas.
“Kneel and bow down to him!” everyone uttered in unison.
“I…”
Lance was in a quandary.
This is the end of me!
“Okay then! I’ll show my gratitude!”
Levi slowly turned around to gaze at Lance.
At that moment, Lance was trembling in fear.
“Okay… Let’s head outside first! We wouldn’t want to wake the kid,” he replied.
“No, we’d like to see Levi bow before you now!”
Shaun and the others were reluctant to comply.
Enraged, Lance responded, “Who do you think you guys are? Are you giving me orders now?”
Everyone was frightened by his words.
“No, we wouldn’t dare! You may do as you please!”
Petrified, everyone moved to the corner and stayed silent including Cora.
All of them was afraid of offending one of the Nine Lords.
“Then, we’ll head outside now!”
Levi’s face looked somber as he left the room.
Lance hurriedly followed behind him.
“What do you guys think Lance is up to? I feel like something about him is a bit off today,” said Logan.
Cora gave him a stern look and replied, “How dare you! We shouldn’t question Lance’s decisions.”
After hearing Cora’s statement, everyone was reticent.
Meanwhile, Levi was glaring intently at Lance at a secluded place outside. “What exactly is going on? Explain yourself!”
“Master, I’m so sorry. It is all my fault. I shouldn’t have…”
Lance fell to his knees and explained everything to Levi.
In the meantime, Levi listened to him quietly.
I want to forgive you, Lance. However, you really can’t afford to make any mistakes as one of the Nine Lords.
One mistake by one of the Nine Lords could end up leading the whole country into destruction.
It seems like my disciples are still lacking a sense of responsibility.
This is proving to be a big problem now.
“Master, I’ll go and tell everyone regarding the issue with Evie that you’re the one who saved her!”
“There’s no need. As long as Evie is safe, I couldn’t care less. Besides, I just want to become an ordinary person. I don’t need any more attention,” Levi responded.
“Master, this was all my fault! I’ll kowtow to you right now!”
Lance gave Levi a few kowtows.
Meanwhile, the others were gazing at them from somewhere nearby.
However, since it was getting dark, everyone could only make out their shadows.
They saw one of the shadows kneeling on the ground while the other one was standing in front of it.
However, they were also unable to hear the conversation between Lance and Levi.
All they heard was the sound of someone kowtowing on the ground.
As far as they were concerned, the one kneeling on the ground was Levi while the one standing in front was Lance.
They thought that Levi was kowtowing to Lance in order to express his gratitude.
Seeing as such, Shaun and the others quickly went back to inform Cora.
“So? Did Levi kneel down and bow?” Cora queried.
“Yes, Levi was kowtowing to express his gratitude to Lance. We saw it with our own eyes!”
