"Uh... Th... That..."
The people in that tunnel trembled with fear as they felt the coldness of what that brown-haired young man had just said.
They could not believe that Minos had said so casually that he would kill the leadership of the Walker family, one of the most vital organizations in the region.
Not that they doubted his ability to do that. They did not doubt it. But it was truly unimaginable to think that they would be threatened in such a way one day.
More than that, as much as they were 'fighting' Charles to secure Blake's position as local heir, they did not want to see their family destroyed because of it. After all, there was no point in taking power from a decadent organization!
So, upon discovering Minos' malicious intentions, they felt as if the world had played a trick on them, having made them fight so hard merely to get to this terrible point.
