After some thought, Wuhlricht said, "Probably not. Whatever happens in the realm stays in the realm. Besides, they're a very large sect, and they'll become a laughingstock if they speak of that incident to any other people."
Severin nodded. "I think so too. We couldn't have just allowed their disciples to kill ours without doing anything, right? We have every right to defend ourselves. In any case, killing others and robbing them of their treasures is a common practice within the Paradise Secret Realm. I don't believe they have the audacity to bring their men here and make a fuss over it. They'll be making a mockery of themselves if they do that."
Rynold nodded in agreement, but he remained cautious over the matter. "They may not confront us directly over this issue, but the rapport we've built up in the past has now shattered. If our disciples venture into other secret realms or perilous locations to search for treasure, there is every chance that the Horizon Sect's disciples might target ours."
Wuhlricht agreed with that supposition. "Indeed. I would like you to send word to our disciples and warn them to be more careful around the Horizon Sect if they embark on treasure hunts or tasks. It would be unwise to trust them blindly as was the case in the past. We would be in a precarious position if we treated them as our allies."
Rynold nodded. "Understood. I'll relay the message promptly."
At that moment, both Felipe and Samuel had arrived too.
Wuhlricht was surprised at how quickly they seemed to have completed their tasks. "Have you already collected the treasures that our disciples acquired?"
Felipe responded with a smile, "There were so many items that we couldn't sort them all out at once. Samuel and I decided to gather up everything first and organize them later."
