Subterfuge

"Sect Master Taric!"

The old man's figure trembled when he heard Alice's shout.

"You..." 

"Young Lady Alice!" 

Sect Master Taric hurriedly rushed towards Alice's side.

He gently pushed the sect members that were attacking Alice.

"What the hell are you guys doing? Don't you know that Young Lady Alice is an Honorable Elder of this sect? By attacking her, what you are doing is tantamount to a rebellion! I can punish you according to the laws of the sect!" Sect Master Taric angrily scolded.

Wha...

"What?"

Joseph wasn't the only one who subconsciously uttered this word.

The sect members who were in a battle of life and death against Alice had their mouths opened wide. Their jaws looked as if it would fall onto the fall if not for the fact that they hurriedly closed their mouths for the sake of decorum.
