Chapter 82 Truth

Julie's eyes widened in shock when she read that because she remembered it was said by none other than Lenny, but now he was dead. 'Who is this!?'

However, Julie didn't lose her composure that easily and returned to normal. She calmly said to the guard."Let them in."

'I was right.' The guard sighed in relief. Then he left to bring the two strangers in.

The head elder, Nik IceFire, who was a man, questioned Julie. "Matriarch, is it the right choice to bring a group of strangers here?"

Along with him, many others gave their voices.

"Matriarch, this is a special place; not anyone can come."

"I think you should send them back. They might be dangerous."

However, Julie, for the first time, didn't get swayed by the elders' words. She stated this firmly. "Its okay. There is nothing to be scared of. You guys and I are present here, what could go wrong?"

Nik and the elders were a bit surprised by Julie's response. They didn't expect she would talk back so firmly like that.

While they were thinking about what went wrong, the door opened once again.

This time, the same guard entered again, but with two more people with him. They had an average appearance and were wearing a black, tattered cloaks.

They had nothing significant to make them stand out, which made everyone even more confused as to why Julie would let them in.

The two strangers came before Julie and bowed their heads and gave a martial salute. "Greetings, Matriarch Julie."

Firstly, the boy and then the girl introduced themselves.

"I am Reg."

"And I am Ram."

"We are both brothers and sisters"

"Oh?" Juli jogged up his mind, trying to find out if she knew anyone with that name, but eventually, her search resulted in nothing.

"Tell me, what do you guys want?" Nik impatiently asked them.

"We can't say that to you." The girl answered. "Nor should anyone in this room expect the matriarch."

Then the boy followed along. "So, we would like for everyone to leave this room."

Instantly, the atmosphere became tense right after the boy finished saying that.

"Are you ordering us, boy?" One of the elders, who was a woman, glared at them.

However, they didn't flinch at everyone's pressure; instead, the boy smiled. "Don't be worried, elders; we are weak as chickens compared to you guys."

Spiritual energy burst forth from them, which revealed their cultivation. They were both in the Fifth Stage Foundation Establishment Realm.

The elders were doubtful of their cultivation realm at first, despite knowing what it was. Because they didn't know if they were hiding it or faking it. But after feeling the spiritual energy, they knew they were not faking or hiding.

However, they were still skeptical about whether they should listen to these strangers.

"Everyone leave. I want to talk with them alone." Suddenly, Julie's voice broke their thought process.

"Matri- "Nik was about to warn again but got stopped by Julie.

Julie put raised her hand and said calmly."Do you think they can do anything to me?"

Nik went silent, as he didn't have anything to argue with that statement. He helplessly said to everyone as he stood up."Let's leave."

The elders looked at each other and decided to listen to her words.

After they left, the room only had those two strangers and Julie.

Julie tilted her head and asked calmly. "Are you someone close to Lenny?"

They didn't answer her question but pulled something from their faces, which Julie could only guess was a mask.

Julie became dazed by the boy's new appearance. The boy had short, messy red hair and a well-toned body that had knitted muscles. His skin was smooth and his face was something only Julie describe as an immortal could possess. An aura emitted from him that charmed her and made her want to be in awe of him and get close to him.

Julie got alarmed when she felt that. 'What is happening!?'

Then she looked at the girl, whose beauty was close to hers but who had a different charm than her, which was full of motherly affection. What was weird for her was the pair of wolf ears sticking out on her head. 'She is from a beastman race. Don't they never interact with humans?'

Julie didn't have more time to think as the boy started to introduce himself.

"I am Gale Burnheart. It is nice to meet you, matriarch Julie." Gale just did a small bow and spoke with a smile.

Then Jasmine followed along with the same action as him. "I am Jasmine Burnheart, Gale's first Dao companion."

"Huh?" Julie was getting more confused as time passed. "Are you a spy sent by Burnhearts? I don't think they would send a weak one, and why do you know what Lenny would say?"

"Miss Julie, perhaps you don't know me, but you know the boy that went rogue in Burnheart a few weeks ago?" Gale asked with a small grin.

Julie was still confused, but when she remembered the report, she became a little surprised. "That's why I felt your name sounded familiar, but you do not look like the way they portrayed you. You look so handso- better than your previous self."

"Hehe, people change, Miss Julie." A chuckle came out of Gale seeing her flush like that.

"You might also be wondering who Lenny is. Actually..." Gale put on the mask again and changed into his Lenny appearance. "Lenny was a fake from the start."

Julie was shocked to find such truth and the power of that power. She has never heard of an item like that.

As Gale took off the mask again, she asked. "Why are you telling me such a big secret of yours? Don't you think I will tell this to everyone?"

A wicked smirk appeared on Gale's face as he looked straight into her eyes. "I want to make a deal with you that might benefit your whole clan."
