No one paid him any mind, and Brother De was acutely aware that he was in a heap of trouble now. Who could say what would happen when they got back? It was his fault for complicating things, causing such a mess all at once.
If he could just take the person back now, there might be room to maneuver, but on someone else's turf, trying to take someone away was definitely not an option. He had no more attachment to this distant cousin; he could only hope for a decent outcome for himself!
With these thoughts, Brother De sighed, leading his few people out with a listless energy.
What was originally such a simple task, just bring the person back smoothly, and everyone would be happy. But why on earth did he have to lose his mind and, swayed by that guy's instigation, create trouble out of nothing?
They'd surely have to argue over this matter, but no matter how much they argued, the Young Master couldn't even think of leaving until things were settled!
