Chapter 50: 50 : Special Intrest in Joya

Within the sumptuous confines of the Dany sect's lavishly adorned shelter, the young master reclined on the head chair, exuding an air of casual authority. The Elders of the sect stood arrayed before him, a picture of subservience, their heads bowed in deference.

The young master's voice cut through the tense silence. "Tell me about our disciples performance in the Azure Dragon caves. How are they faring?"

The question sent a ripple of nervousness through the Elders. They exchanged uneasy glances, aware of the young master's volatile temperament. Finally, the chief elder stepped forward, his voice laced with a mixture of pride and caution.

"Except for caves 13 and 28, we have secured all top positions, my lord. The top ten caves are under our control."

The young master's expression darkened at the mention of the two exceptions. "Why have 13 and 28 been missed?" he snapped, his anger evident.
