In a blink of an eye, Darryl disappeared with the 30 soldiers in the dense forest.
Those elites who lost Darryl were extremely annoyed. They returned to The Wishing Star Tower.
The tower was the most important checkpoint in Donghai City. Had they lost the tower to the enemy, the New World army would be able to penetrate the city center of Donghai City easily. That would be a tragic event for the people of World Universe!
Therefore, the elites of various sects gathered at The Wishing Star Tower.
They sat around on the first floor.
Abess Mother Serendipity raised her hand and slapped the table hard and exclaimed coldly, ” Darryl, that bastard! He should be killed for joining the New World!”
“He is a native to Donghai City and is very familiar with the topography of Donghai City. Now that he had joined the enemy’s camp, it is a great disadvantage to us if he had given advise to the New World on how to attack us.”
“Yes, the bastard must die!”
They had a heated discussion and everyone’s face was filled with anger.
Suddenly, someone said, “Well, if he is taking shelter from the New World camp, it is not going to be easy for us to kill him…”
It was dead silent after that was mentioned.
That was right. The New World camp had many elites, it was going to be difficult to kill Darryl!
There was dead silence for more than ten minutes. Naomi from the Wanderers Sect stood up and said, ” Since we cannot kill Darryl, let’s kill his family.”
“Yes! He must be severely punished!”
“Darryl had betrayed us as soon as the war broke out between the two continents. If he is not severely punished, I am afraid that more people will join him as traitors!”
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation. Master Leonard stood up, cleared his throat and said, “Everyone, let’s be quiet.”
Master Leonard looked around and said, “Even if we kill his families, what can be changed? That will only exacerbate the situation and arouse Darryl’s hatred, making him betray us even more!”
As soon as they heard what Master Leonard said, everyone calmed down. They all exchanged looks. Their faces showed a myriad of expressions.
“Master Leonard, what do you mean?” Abbess Mother Serendipity calmed down. She frowned, displeasure laced her tone. “Darryl is unforgivable! What you mean that it’s useless to punish a traitor like him?”
Master Leonard smiled. “Don’t panic. I have a good idea. We can hold his parents and his wife as hostages and lure him out to save the people he loved.”
Master Leonard continued. “When he came forward to save them, that’ll be our chance to grab him and kill him on the spot.”
“Good idea!” Everyone agreed.
• •• On the other side of Donghai City, on the Red Flag pedestrian walkway.
The weather was good and the streets were filled with people.
The New World sent troops to attack Donghai City, and the news spread like wildfire in Donghai City last night. It caused panic throughout the city.
Shortly afterward, the various sects jointly issued a statement, claiming that they would ward off the New World army and told the citizens of Donghai City to not be afraid.
The statement issued was a great assurance to the citizens of Donghai City.
Businesses were open as usual.
Red Flag pedestrian walkway remained lively.
Samantha was shopping for fo clothes in a high-end women’s clothing store. Those clothes were expensive but she could afford them as she was rich.
