Chương 188: Building army

Mr Collins was first to enter and there was some discussion going on inside that suddenly stopped on hearing the door open without a knock. The elders were all alerted, and the tension inside the room was undoubtedly heavy. 

Madilyn Hooper, the eldest of them, all glared at Mr Collins before speaking in her shrill and shaky voice, "Henry, you should warn us before you bring them in." 

Mr Collins shrugged, "We called for them in the first place."

The heavily bearded elder spoke, "We might be discussing something important. The kids are not to get involved in it." 

Channing's father dismissed it with a wave of his hand, "They are here now."

There were hard glares passed to Mr Collins, and I now understood why he did not get along with the rest of them. There was a certain amount of annoyance that passed through the rest of the elders. I decided not to pay heed to the heat and rather focus on what we had come here for.
