One of the Himmelian Villagers was clever enough to analyze the situation. After all, they were all members of the Soan empire. Though they would follow the order of their division heads, the Patriarch's word would always be the top priority.
If the Patriarch told them to stay here, they would stay here without moving an inch. Even if Drake asked them to move, they wouldn't take a single step back.
Therefore, the only reason the Himmelian Pavilion had backed away should be their Patriarch's order. Otherwise, they would rather die from dehydration than move an inch.
It didn't take a genius to figure out the rest.
On any ordinary day, they would have figured it out right away, but the heat had slowed their minds. They only cracked it now. That was to say, the Patriarch had heard everything they said.
How embarrassing!
However, Himmel Soan never spoke again.
