Chapter 1042: Old Scores

"We just came back from the demon hunter headquarters," Hao Ren said. Seeing that everyone was still in a daze and worrying that they may not have understood him, he repeated the sentence. "We know what happened there."

As he spoke, he gently tapped Vivian's toes with his under the table. It was a tacit gesture of cooperation and understanding.

Hao Ren and Vivian had all of this planned out beforehand. Having known the chaos in the otherworldling sanctuary, the reservedness and temper of the old families, the ingrained concept of social hierarchy based on seniority of the otherworldlings, and their attitude towards outsiders, they had decided that Vivian would first use her status to subdue the families and silence them and then Hao Ren would do the explanation. He would tell of what happened inside the demon hunter organization and the truth of the sages from an outsider's perspective.
