Aldany looked at the departing high priests with a mixture of surprise and frustration.
He couldn't accept that his plan had failed so completely.
He shouted loudly toward the high priests, "The trial isn't over yet! Why are you leaving? Are you just going to let this human spy continue to operate in Serpent's Eye Lake Oasis?"
Not a single high priest turned back.
No matter what Aldany said, the high priests didn't respond.
In this situation, he had no more options.
On his own, he was absolutely incapable of defeating Charles.
With a vicious glare, he turned to face Charles and Zara.
"This isn't over! I will never let you two escape punishment so easily!"
After throwing down his threatening words, Aldany stormed out of the room.
Charles simply gave a cold laugh in response to Aldany's threat.
He didn't take it seriously at all.
If Aldany had the power to kill him, he would have done it by now.
