Dawn World [2]

The Heavenly Jewel Palace Master's voice responded loudly in everyone's ears. Suddenly, their excitement over Jiao Mei's position dimmed.

The Heavenly Jewel Palace Master was furious. His gaze panned across his own disciples, but he only saw clueless looks on their faces. Soon enough though, his eyes crossed a boy whose head was hung in shame.

"Look at me." He commanded. The boy shakily obeyed his direction. If he didn't, he would surely die.

"Tell me what happened before I force it out of you." The Heavenly Jewel Palace Master continued.

The boy's body trembled in fear. He didn't want to say what he witnessed. He was terrified of the consequences. Yet, if he didn't speak, he'd be punished worse!

Realizing this, he hesitantly opened his mouth. "S-senior brother Marcus is…he is dead."

The disciple didn't speak loudly, but his words reached the ears of everyone around him. Hearing them, the Heavenly Jewel Palace Master froze.
