It wasn't the fact that Matriarch Macie was fighting that was so shocking. It was the fact her aura was so absurdly powerful.
Just as shocking was that right across from her, she was locked in a dead heat with none other than Kempe of the Mercenary Guild. Right this moment, the latter's expression was particularly ugly. He hadn't had any desire to expose this much of his power, but if he didn't, he was actually on the verge of losing his life to this Matriarch of a tiny Sect.
It didn't make any sense to him.
He was already invested in Macie because he felt that there was something of interest in her. But he didn't expect such a thing to cost him so much.
The moment the Hall started asking questions, one thing after another would be exposed, and then he wouldn't have much of a choice but to be wholly screwed over.
At that point, his life in the Mercenary Guild would become a living hell. It couldn't have been any worse than this.
