It wasn't hard to convince Wilford to join him. But, it is also not hard to discipline everyone here.
The sect elders entered the meeting hall with unwilling faces. But as soon as they saw Wilford sitting with his face solemn, they turned it to a calm expression and stoic. They tend to act this way in front of Wilford because of their respect for him.
But still, there was an unimaginable thing that made them despise Lucas. Was it because of the care that the sect leader gave him? They can't explain it. It is as if they were just naturally hateful towards Lucas.
However, for Lucas, he could care less about it. The reason he was doing this wasn't because of his personal integrity or interest; it was all for Wilford and to fix unnecessary matters. It would be bothersome if left unattended, at least that's what Lucas thinks.
