Sterl pulled Teresa to a corner of the expansion hall, and his followers trailed closely behind. Only a few stayed behind to guard Daphne.
Once they reached their destination, Teresa immediately knelt on one knee, "Master, what are your orders?"
"My matters are not urgent." Sterl smiled slightly, looking at Teresa and the other followers present. "You all performed well this time."
"You did not disappoint me."
As Sterl's words fell, his followers became incredibly excited, shouting enthusiastically, "Mr. David, it is our honor to sacrifice for you!"
"We always knew that with your abilities, those mere family forces would be trampled underfoot sooner or later, but we didn't expect it to happen so quickly!"
"We've long been prepared to lay down our lives for you!"
...
The players' eyes were fervent, and they felt immense relief and gratitude!
