Within the Luo estate stood a grand pavilion. Inside it lay a secret chamber filled with mechanisms meant to block prying eyes and ears. Only those of the highest rank could enter, and every movement inside was recorded in detailed logs.
"Luo Chen, care to explain what is going on with the Sacred Tear Refiner?"
Today's agenda was longer than usual. After finishing the usual clan matters, Luo Phen, the First Elder of the Luo clan, brought out the final topic of the day.
It was an emergency matter.
"S-Sacred Tear Refiner!?" Luo Fai, the Second Elder, an elderly woman, widened her eyes. Her expression turned sharp with anger. "That is a chamber reserved only for emergencies. What did you do?"
Seated at the highest position, Luo Chen let out a slow sigh. Not only had this meeting dragged on for hours, now he had to deal with this as well.
"I gave it to our dear guest," he said calmly.
"What!?"
Bang!
