"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!

At the time, the elders of the Sword Spirit Sect also changed their sides, as they hoped that Timothy would protect the reputation of the Sword Spirit Sect first.
"Father!" Hannah was hesitant because she knew that the Sword Spirit Sect was in a dilemma. However, she was torn because she didn't want to hand Rocky over.
On the other hand, Timothy couldn't help feeling helpless and morose. He soon noticed that Rocky hadn't shown up yet, so he thought that the young man might have noticed that something was up.
"Well, as much as I want to help you, Basil is no longer in the Sword Spirit Sect. I can't hand him over to you," he said. "What?! That's impossible! I just saw him yesterday!" Miguel disagreed adamantly.
"Hmm... It seems that you still want to defend Basil even if that will put the Sword Spirit Sect in danger. In that case, we have to offend you. I will find that guy today, even if I have to search your whole sect!" Benedict shouted, intending to make the first move and teach the sect a lesson.
