Caught in the Act 

While Minos was having fun with Ivy, the news that he had beaten Lance had already reached the sect master.

"What? Did he truly do that?" Oswald laughed as he relaxed his back into the support of his armchair.

"Yes, sect master." The person who had heard the nervous explanation from one of the Terry family members nodded affirmatively. "It seems that young Minos has made a scheme to destroy Lance's reputation."

"First, he made Lance see him in bed with Ivory and then used his allies within the sect to spread rumors and gossip regarding what happened in that situation." He said, talking about the rumor the Terry family had made up.

To control the damage that today's rumors had already done to Lance's reputation, the Terry patriarch ordered his family to spread stories of Minos planning such a thing.

According to them, the incident had been something minor. Still, Minos' men had increased it by making nasty comments about Lance's figure.
