Damien turned, fixing his gaze on Dustin. "Young man, what do you think?"

Contrary to the majority, Damien had granted Dustin the position of deputy master, a gesture of significant respect.

Dustin bluntly rejected the offer, stating, "I'm not interested in being a deputy master. I definitely don't want to be involved with the Drakes Dominion Order."

Damien's expression turned cold. "If that's the case, then I have nothing more to say." He felt a bit embarrassed, having extended an olive branch only to be rejected.
