The people there were silent for a few moments as they watched Ivy getting dressed and Maisie and Minos moving away from each other.
One of them broke free of the 'spell' that forced him to look at Ivy's chest and return to his reason. "We're here to arrest him." He pointed at the young man putting on his shirt. "It's time for you to take responsibility for your crimes, Minos."
The woman in this group kept looking at Maisie and Minos, wondering what immorality had or would happen there.
Gulp!
'What were they doing? Don't tell me that...' She felt her body heating up but tried her best not to blush even more as she imagined what would have happened if they had not arrived and gotten in the way of the situation.
'Damn it! If we had taken another 15 minutes or so, we could have seen something amazing...' She imagined as her breathing rose in level and a slightly strange smile appeared on her face.
One of her companions noticed this and asked in a low voice. "Are you okay, Sharon?"
"Hmm?" She looked at that fellow and tried to disguise it. "It's nothing. I just remembered something."
That man did not believe her, but since he did not have such a perverted mind as hers, he ignored such a person and turned his attention to Minos, Ivy, and Maisie.
'It looks like the sect master's daughter caught her son and best friend in the act...' He thought of this as he analyzed the situation correctly and saw the expression of unhappiness forming on Ivy and Maisie's faces after his colleague's words.
"Arrest Minos? What is this nonsense you are talking about?" Maisie put her earlier sadness aside and questioned these people as she stepped forward.
Ivy was also surprised and said. "Is this because of Lance? Know that he was the one who caused all that. Minos was having fun with Ivory when your young master interfered in their affairs."
"Tsk!"
"That's not true." He said, promptly starting to use the narrative invented by the Terry family. "Minos wanted to damage Lance's reputation to eliminate his only competitor, and he set the whole thing up to hurt us."
"Oh? Is that right?" Minos laughed upon hearing such a thing, finding it interesting how this family wanted to handle the situation. "I wanted to damage Lance's reputation? That can only be a joke. What reputation does Lance have?"
Hearing that, Ivy wanted to laugh, but given the seriousness of the situation, she kept silent, watching those people give Minos an ugly look.
"Don't try to play games with us, Minos. We know very well of your plans, and your words will not fool us." The other man there said while that woman put her fantasies aside to become more serious.
She then said. "Let's not make things difficult here. Don't embarrass your grandfather. Surrender peacefully, and we'll end this as soon as possible."
Just as Maisie was about to defend her son, Minos began to laugh, drawing the attention of everyone there and even a few newcomers who had not yet shown themselves.
"I am impressed with my influence every day, hehe." He said in a confident tone. "I haven't even shown interest in this sect, but the powerful Terry family is already trembling with fear that they won't even have a chance to dispute with me..."
"Imagine what will happen if I change my mind?"
The Terry family group members watched him as they clenched their fists. But Minos' words had a power that made them listen to him.
Minos then became more serious. "Don't blame me for that fool's incompetence. If he is weak and unable to handle situations like that and still suffers from rumors, then he is not good for the leadership position."
He did not know about the rumors circulating. Still, it was not hard to imagine this was the problem since one of those people cited Lance's reputation and the fact that Minos was acting to degrade such a thing.
People had witnessed their misunderstanding, and the secrecy of such a thing would not be kept. Unlike this situation in which the sect master's daughter and grandson were caught in strange circumstances, no one who had seen Lance early would hold back from talking about that.
None of those people in Ivy's house would dare let rumors about the sect master's daughter and grandson spread, given the danger of retaliation. But Lance was weak, and his support was not so decisive. Then, people would talk about the previous situation out of fear.
From then on, it would be natural for some people to increase the rumors and question Lance's abilities.
Minos perceived all this easily, so he did not need to listen to the rumors to know the motivations of these people.
"If you insist on this path, you will only embarrass yourselves." Minos gave this friendly warning, showing these people not to test him.
Hearing all this, Oswald's envoys finally showed themselves, appearing on the side of Minos and those two women.
At this instant, Ivy and Minos were already adequately dressed, and the odor of sex had disappeared in that area.
Then one of the newcomers laughed and said. "Minos said it all. Don't embarrass yourselves anymore. This situation is embarrassing enough for the Terry family."
Another of them, someone from level 75, then commented. "Harding, go back from where you came. The sect master has already said that there will be no punishment of any kind for Minos unless you have proof of a crime he committed."
Upon hearing this, those three felt frustrated as they looked intensely at the young man who had stood before them and spoken the previous words without hesitation.
What Minos had said was true, but they would never publicly assume that Lance was emotionally fragile regarding Ivory. Meanwhile, this family could not allow rumors and questioning to spread, so they would naturally not accept the situation because it was the truth.
"Humph!"
"We'll see!" The leader of that group tidied his clothes and said that before angrily leaving that place.
One of Oswald's envoys then said. "Don't stress too much, Harding. That is just a junior disagreement. Don't damage the reputation of an entire family just for that."
But none of those people would heed that good advice, and so they all ran back to their headquarters, angry at Minos and the defeat they had suffered.
As for Minos and that group, they soon left that estate, with Ivy staying behind and Maisie accompanying him and those men to a meeting with Oswald.
...
Meanwhile, the sect master had just arrived at the site of the Terry family in that sect, a little angry about this unnecessary situation.
Due to his bad mood, he could not help but feel part of his innate ability get a little out of control and oppress the people in that area!
"Sect Master..."
