The Chaoyang Academy representative was a vice dean. When he received the news, his head practically swelled.
Two Above Supremes had joined forces, yet they still could not mediate the matter?
At heart, the vice dean had only stepped forward because he could not refuse a favor. He did not want to shoulder any risk.
Otherwise, he would not have restricted that Supreme to bringing only seven or eight A-ranks into the academy.
That number was roughly within everyone's range of acceptance. What Supreme did not have a few followers?
But any more than that would truly look like shielding them, and could be viewed as a provocation toward Digital Phantom.
The vice dean had no choice but to inform the Hegel Family's Supreme that such an incident had just occurred.
This Supreme was also a sensible man. Those two Above Supremes had been quite arrogant before, but now they had backed down. Did he even need to ask why? To invite those two, he had owed quite a few favors and paid a hefty fee, with the bigger expense still to come.
But now they had... given up!
Had the two Above Supremes fabricated the whole thing and run off after taking the down payment? The Supreme absolutely did not believe that.
As long as one was human, one needed face. Those standing high above others usually cared even more about such things.
Then it was obvious that the pressure from Digital Phantom was simply too great.
The good news was that nothing would likely happen tonight. But the problem was... how should they handle things from here on?
Before dawn, the Supreme received fresh news: two of the family's gathering points had been attacked.
The attack had still come without a sound. More than twenty A-ranks had died.
