This elder, Gru, tore Dakville Leader's trust in Lu Heng to shreds with just a few words.
Lu Heng witnessed the entire process, and he admired Elder Gru's ability to control the situation.
In a few statements, Elder Gru managed to sow doubts about Lu Heng in the Dakville Leader's mind. While others might not have perceived it clearly, Lu Heng distinctly felt hostility from Elder Gru.
It only took a few minutes.
Lu Heng had gone from a trusted ally of the tribal leader to a suspicious outsider.
If he couldn't feel the hostility now, there must be something wrong with his brain.
Because of this hostility, Lu Heng reevaluated Elder Gru.
Elder Gru looked up, observed Lu Heng for a moment, and then said to the Dakville Leader, "Leader, why don't we ask him how he managed to retrieve the previous leader's ashes from Black Stone City."
