Half an hour later, Clarkin stood on his flying boat as it hovered above the Gahrrs' land. His countenance was at the peak of somberness, and he glanced back at the dozens of elders preparing to accompany him. "We will travel to the Grandiuno Sect and demand an explanation!"
At that moment, Clarkin's heart thundered with fury and his rage was like that of a rabid wild lion. The incident at the Fierce Beast Mountain had dealt a severe blow to the Gahrrs' dignity, as a prodigy had been killed along with three elders. Never before had such an incident happen.
Though the Gahrrs were not on par with the Southsky's top forces, they still held considerable influence as a family who had a royal paragon. Many were careful not to slight them, yet many of their members had met an untimely demise at Severin's hand.
Severin had severed Sian's arm during the expedition into the Artic Heights. Though the Gahrrs were incredibly angry at what happened, it could not be denied that the incident was typical of the minor skirmishes which often occurred in such areas. It thus became a rather tricky situation for a royal paragon like Clarkin to intervene.
However, the situation at the Fierce Beast Mountain was different—it was an outright affront to the Gahrrs' honor. If Clarkin did not respond decisively, then the Gahrrs risked becoming the subject of ridicule in the future.
Having taken all that into consideration, a murderous glint graces Clarkin's eyes as he piloted his boat skyward and navigated it into the air.
Meanwhile, within Grandiuno Sect, Oskar sat at the main seat and was flanked by the nine peak masters on both sides. The Seventh Mountain's Myles sensed the gravity of the situation after scrutinizing Oskar's serious demeanor and seeing the attentive expressions of his peers.
The nine peak masters were only summoned when a significant event occurred. Realizing that was likely the case, Myles felt perplexed as he questioned, "Did something gravely important happen? Is that why you gathered us here today?"
