Hill overlooked one thing: although this group of young scions was audacious, they were actually accompanied by followers, especially coachmen and bodyguards, who couldn't all be with them at once.
In other words, except for that scion from the Bai Family, the others still didn't want to offend the An Family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one spouting nonsense, while the others just chimed in a bit. It's fine for the young scions to band together to flatter the Bai Family's young master, but if any real trouble arises, and if the An Family targets their families, no one believes the Bai Family would rescue them.
It's just that these little followers chose the wrong side.
Alternatively, the Shulong People's excessive exclusion of outsiders left these guys completely ignorant of what an Archmage was.
So, when the Tortoise Shell shattered, Hill didn't meet the mastermind but rather these guys' parents and several Sorcerers summoned to rescue them.
