"Master!"
The housekeeper, whose face had been livid with anger just moments ago, now appeared exceedingly terrified as he bowed and lowered his head, saying, "It is my duty, I failed to stop these bandits in time!"
The young man gave him a cold glance, making the housekeeper break out in cold sweat and grow even paler, before finally saying, "Go back and accept your punishment."
"Yes..."
The housekeeper lowered his head, his complexion turning even uglier.
"Do you know what the punishment is?"
Only then did the young man turn his gaze to the others, and spoke indifferently, "It is to convert the divine soul into willpower, to satisfy those from the Upper Realm. But if handled poorly, there is a chance of immediate demonic transformation. Even if one lands safely, after such an ordeal, they will never recover, doomed to remain in the Fifth Realm for life. This man has served me for thousands of years, my old housekeeper... How will you compensate?"
