"On some level, we still have to sanction Hodge! I understand that he did what he had to do, but I find it unnecessary for him to damage my disciple terribly! Even if Fabian had fault as well, still, we should do something about Hodge's berserk!" Timothy realized that his stance was getting weaker, but he was hell-bent on having Zachary involved.

"I understand that I have crippled him during the battle..." Zachary started, making the elders shift their attention towards him. "But I can bring him back to his normal state as long as he wants," he offered, seeing that the timing was right.

"Go ahead. Call anyone you want. Your master is outside the room. He was the one who let me in here," Zachary taunted.

"My master is outside the room?! You're lying! How could he let you in? I'm sure that he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen since we both know that you desire to kill me!"
