"If he helps you, he will also be arrested!" Willard bellowed. "You and this guy have been caught lying, and you come from dubious backgrounds. You are obviously spies. We have no choice but to investigate the two of you."
As it turned out, Willard and Tam were also among the disciples charged with enforcing the laws of the sect.
To Mina's consternation, Kamden suddenly became very calm, and made no move to defend her.
"You two are so smart," he said to the two senior disciples. "Yes, that guy must be a spy. I advise you to detain him as soon as possible."
"You!" Mina spluttered. "I can't believe it! You are really a bad guy, after all!" She was extremely agitated, believing that Kamden had just betrayed her.
Kamden was sorry to see her so upset, but he didn't dare hint that he had a plan.

They were already thinking of ways to flatter the legendary chief disciple and insinuate themselves in his favor.
"Well, you'd better fall in line," said Jarvis with a sigh. "Many elders are very eager to meet him. I myself would like the chance to congratulate him in person."
Then he touched his beard, shaking his head. "Well, I have other business at the moment, so let's stop talking about it.
