The Medallion

"Master Benedict, you must be out of your mind!" Timothy had a very bad feeling when he noticed that Benedict looked too determined. However, he was not about to compromise.

"My two conditions are incredibly simple. First, I want you to cancel the engagement between Miss Hannah and the Heaven Shadow Pavilion's representative. Second, you must hand Basil over to me,"

Benedict continued on as if he didn't hear Timothy's words.

"Master Benedict, if you have any evidence to prove that Basil pretended to be the Heaven Shadow Pavilion's representative, I may consider the first condition. However, the second one is unacceptable for us. Even if Basil did something wrong, the Sword Spirit Sect should be the one to deal with him. With all due respect, I think it's none of your business,"

Timothy wisely suggested.

"The members of the Sovereign Pavilion are the ones who want to take Basil away since he killed Knox, who has been sent to cultivate in the Sovereign Pavilion a few years ago. Thus, the Sovereign Pavilion considers him their member too. If Basil really killed him, it means that he has also disrespected the Sovereign Pavilion!

And that is why Elder Clyde of the Sovereign Pavilion came with me this time,"

Benedict answered snidely.

Hearing that, Timothy immediately turned to Clyde, who was silently fuming with his whole face red and livid.

"You'd better hand him over to us now. Or are you willing to sacrifice and destroy the harmony between us?

As long as you hand him over, the peace between us won't suffer, and we will forget any hurt that has come between us,"

Clyde finally stated.

"If you want to take him away, then you have to hand over the evidence first!"

Timothy could confidently challenge them because he was sure that Benedict didn't have sufficient evidence to prove their allegations.

"Well, if you insist on being so stubborn, we have no choice but to show you some evidence!"

Benedict sneered and then waved his hands, shouting, "Guards!"

The next moment, a short-statured disciple dressed in the Sword Spirit City's typical clothes came out.

As soon as Timothy laid eyes on the disciple, his eyes turned cold and guarded.

Then, Benedict gestured towards the guards, who made way for the disciple to move forward.
