"Wait! If Vance belongs to a noble family, does that mean that he escaped? The first cultivator of the darkness element to appear after such a long time is a criminal?"
Voices rang everywhere inside the streets of the city as the cultivators began to wonder how many secrets a twenty years old man could hold.
Another rumor was added to the pile: Vance, the student of the academy, was secretly Noah Balvan, a noble.
That realization inevitably led to a conclusion: The Royal family had helped his concealment!
It wasn't a secret that the Royals worked to bring promising heirs on their side but purposely hiding a possible criminal was a completely different matter!
Once the citizen understood that the Royals could use criminals for their means, their image of them was greatly affected.
As for the voice that spread through the city, they didn't bother thinking too much about it.
The patriarch of a medium-size noble family was generally a cultivator of the heroic ranks, they knew that his power had to be unfathomable.
Thomas waited with a complacent smile right over the defensive walls, he didn't dare to take a step inside the formation without the permission of the Elbas family.
Nevertheless, the transparent membrane soon opened, showing Thaddeus' father standing in the air behind it.
"Thomas, there was no need to create such a mess."
His expression was dark and his brows were furrowed, they stressed his displeasure toward Thomas' actions.
"Thomas Balvan greets His Majesty Cecil!"
Thomas performed a formal greeting and waited for a reaction from Cecil.
"You can't just come here and do whatever you want, your family has no special privileges, you must use the official ways to get in contact with us."
Cecil didn't give him permission to stand so Thomas remained in his bowing position.
"I beg to disagree Cecil. This matter involves the future of his family, you will surely forgive his lack of manners."
A voice sounded behind Thomas as a cultivator with long silver hair and a loose white robe appeared in the air.
The cultivator then slightly bowed, performing a simple greeting.
"Ian Udye greets His Majesty."
That man was Daniel's father, the patriarch of the Udye family, one of the wealthiest men in the entire country.
"What are you doing here Ian?"
Cecil was surprised by his presence, that event was too coincidental.
"He is looking for answers, Your Majesty. All of us are."
A female cultivator appeared right next to Ian, her facial features resembled Phoebe's ones, she was clearly her mother.
"I would like to know if my daughter met a criminal in her mission, a criminal that you disguised as a student."
"Meredith is right, I also would like to know if this so-called student had something to do with the events near Vonduhr."
A third cultivator appeared mid-hair, he had long golden hair and he very much resembled Samuel.
'Fred Muwlos is here too. I bet that these vultures have waited all this time nearby, they knew that someone like Thomas would appear.'
Cecil's eyes became cold at that thought but he still smiled on the surface, signaling to the four cultivators to follow him inside the city.
"My son is in the Capital, follow me if you want to hear what he has to say."
