Chapter 190 The Rogue Problem

Gasps of horror could be heard from around the room as they conferred amongst

themselves whilst Cornelius stood, isolated and speechless in the face of such a

flashing a dangerous gold as the realization set in amongst the Elders that Ann was

looking for someone to blame for this colossal tragedy.

When Cornelius didn’t reply, instead looking around himself for support from his
