The entire hall was silent.
The elders did not respond to Jones's question. They simply looked quietly at Jones, who stood in the center of the hall.
All the Blood Clan members present were also quietly watching him.
Adelle slightly opened her mouth but could not utter a word.
Belle was already in a panic.
The princes of the Sambo Family, who were supposed to be Jones's comrades, still wore expressions of indifference.
Prince Harries of the Nikolaus family slightly curled his lips, while the members of the Ganggro Family even smiled.
Most of the Blood Clan present were relishing Jones's predicament, though they did not dare to laugh out loud.
After all, wasn't Jones's exile from the Blood Clan exactly what they wanted to see?
Looking around, Jones asked loudly, "Since this is a hearing, does it mean it's my turn to speak now?"
"Go ahead," an elder said softly.
