Chapter 167: Hunting Samantha
On the way back to Maplewood Town from the forest, Ansu saw David walking over hurriedly.
"Lord Hermit..." David lowered his voice to report, "I've just received a secret report. Samantha has returned to her seaside manor and has urgently summoned all the elders still in Benalu for a secret meeting."
A flash of understanding crossed Ansu's eyes. Samantha rushing back to reclaim her power and calling an elder meeting was not surprising.
"What did she say at the meeting?"
"The specific details are unclear." David shook his head first, then added, "But I asked some cult colleagues in the manor, and they told me that a heated argument broke out midway. Samantha lost control of her emotions and nearly came to blows with several elders on the spot..."
Ansu let out a mocking laugh. "It seems our acting cult leader's emotions are quite unstable."
David continued, "One colleague also told me that Samantha finally stormed out, muttering, 'If you all don't dare to go, then I'll go myself!'"
"Very good." Ansu nodded with a smile. The news of him giving orders in Maplewood Town was known throughout the cult; Samantha was clearly impatient to send people to surround and suppress him.
But with the situation in the city being so tense, and having heard that the quite powerful Pope's guard, Seance, had also come to take charge, the elders would certainly not agree to Samantha's risky move.
