This proclamation by the old man was met by silence from both Elanev and Daneel, who could only stare at him while he smiled broadly, clearly very proud of himself.
Daneel recovered first.
His head full of questions, he asked, "Care to elaborate?"
For the life of him, he couldn't imagine what this old man who had apparently been in a pedestal for the past thousands of years could have done to infiltrate one of the Big Four and set up such an elaborate scheme to train a disciple.
Still beaming, the old man first looked at Elanev, who shuddered with fear both because of his expression which spoke volumes, and the statement he had just heard where he had said that he would soon see "real hell".
Then what the hell had he seen so far?
Turning to Daneel, the old man began to answer his question.
