As Alexander Cheng hastily retreated in embarrassment, a stunned silence fell over the crowd.

Wide-eyed disbelief painted every face in the audience.

“Master, where are you going?” Liam stammered, seeking answers.

“Elder Liam, there’s an urgent matter at home. I’ll return as soon as I can,” came Alexander Cheng’s slightly trembling voice from a distance.
