"Didn't I already tell you? Once you enter the underground tomb, you must follow my orders. I told you to keep moving; why are you stopping?!" Elder Lawrence questioned the group in a chilling and ominous tone as he stood before them.
"Do you really think you have the right to defy my commands?!" At this point, Lawrence raised his right hand and pointed directly at Wendy.
In that instant, Wendy felt as though she could not breathe.
"I can kill any one of you at any time! You have no right to bargain with me! I will not allow you to waste any more time; all you need to do is keep your mouths shut and follow me," Elder Lawrence declared before turning around and continuing onward.
Finally, Wendy was able to breathe again.
The group felt a deep sense of anger at Lawrence's actions, but they had no way to oppose him, as their strength was far inferior to his. Even if Aron and the others joined forces, they could not hope to defeat Elder Lawrence in his current state.
