The sword had pierced right through Samantha's stomach. There was no way she could heal from a wound like that. When he pulled the sword out, her lifeless body fell to the ground.
The others in the Tulip Clan had anger on their faces and wanted to rush forward before one of the Elders stopped them.
"If Samantha couldn't stop him, what do you think the rest of you can do?" the Elder said. "Right now, everyone here is accepting him as the new leader, so for our clan to go against him would mean going up against the entire faction and becoming outcasts."
The clan, which was mostly comprised of women, was upset. It was hard for them to hold back their feelings, and one of them couldn't help but speak up.
"But did he have to kill her? He could have just beaten her. Even when Murkel became the head of the Dark Faction, he didn't get rid of the other clan heads!" the woman cried out.
