Lu Heng continued, "So Elder Gru, why did you appear only after the first counterattack on Black Stone City?
"The reason is quite simple. For that half a year, he was but a minion under the skirt of the Bloodline Demoness Salein.
"After Dakville Leader led the first counterattack on Black Stone City, the Bloodline Demon discovered that the strength of the Black Iron Tribe was still formidable.
"So, half a year later, Salein sent Elder Gru back here to monitor the actions of the Black Iron Tribe!"
His statement was delivered with finality, every detail matching exactly what had transpired among the Black Iron Tribe.
This made Dakville III's look towards Elder Gru grow increasingly complex.
Elder Gru bellowed angrily, "Nonsense, Leader! Are you really going to listen to an outsider? He is slandering the elders of the Black Iron Tribe! Do you think my decades of service for the tribe count for less than a few questions from an outsider?"
