Meeting Hall:
Elder Leola, Ann, and Cathy were all taken aback. They looked at each other's faces in disbelief, shock and confusion clearly written on their expressions.
"How come Elder Austin's disciple can do that?" Leola asked.
Elder Ann and Cathy turned towards Faction Leader old man Clifford, sharing the same question on their minds.
Clifford sighed inwardly. He then saw Austin's sad look, and his eyes flashed with a glint. He had expected Austin to argue against him.
Seeing him this calm, he thought Austin might have known something.
He simply said, "If you don't believe me, just look at him."
Hearing that, Elder Leola and the others turned towards Elder Austin. They saw how he was surprisingly calm, unlike his earlier outburst. He appeared to accept the statement.
"Elder Austin, say something?" Elder Ann asked this time.
