1450 True Or False?
-Silence-
The room regained its former quiet.
But underneath it, all was a raging storm.
With black veils and straight backs, the women narrowed their eyes at Jimila.
'Whatever excuse you have, better be good!'
Their anger was enough to make them launch their daggers at her.
"Ladies... Let's act civilized and not like some shrews in a marketplace."
Jamila's veins were popping.
What she hated the most was people undermining her authority.
From past Head Witches to now, she didn't think there was any who had faced such blatant disrespect as her.
When did she permit them to talk?
Was her authority no longer important?
"Moving forward, this should be the last time we speak out of turn! There's a reason you all have the speaking boards. If you want to say something, RAISE THEM HIGH UP!"
The speaking boards were similar to those used in auction sites.
No one spoke again but still had no respect for her underneath their veils.
But Jimila was satisfied with this much.
"Now then... Let's get down to it."
In no time, she spoke about the matter.
The traitor's daughter killed her fellow sisters, her traitor's promise to extinguish and kill them all (all made up), her intelligence and betrayal while working for a man, her Witch powers of super-strength, how the surviving spy fled, and so on.
And the more they listened, the colder everyone got.
Even Elder Yanji and the genius Edna were furious.
Indeed.
The reasons for failure were all there. And the anger they had towards Lucy magnified.
And sure enough, another elder quickly burst into flames of rage.
"How bold! The traitor's daughter dares to kill our members? She dares to kill her own sisters? Sacrilege!!!"
"Exactly!" Another exclaimed.
The news was just too intoxicating and murderous.
"She dares to swear to extinguish us all? How naive! Does she think she will have a chance like that bastard mother of hers? I say we go to Pyno, bury her so-called new family before her eyes before dragging her back!"
"Weakling! Has she no shame in licking a man's foot? What a waste of intelligence!"
Many felt personally threatened.
Things have changed since her mother's incident. And then have grown stronger and even more ruthless over the tears.
So if she thinks she'll be able to take them down, then the little bastard should think again!
Who were they? Witches!
Everyone grumbled to one another, talking about what they should do to counterattack her threats.
If their leader doesn't deal with this matter to their satisfaction, a riot could happen here and now.
.
Raising her board, Yanji stared at Jimila with a wicked smile plastered on her face.
Oops…
Her expression was hidden underneath her veil.
Motherf**ker!
Jimila already rolled her eyes underneath her veil.
She hadn't even pointed at Yanji, giving her permission. Yet the woman had already begun opening her mouth.
"Head Witch Jimila. I think I speak for everyone when I say that the traitor's daughter is truly a despicable little worm."
Yes. Yes, a despicable little worm.
Many bobbed their heads in agreement as though she was truly their spokeswoman.
(-_-)
Some elders and others knew that Yanji was secretly looking for fault.
But what about it?
They had long been tired of Jimila and wanted a change.
To them, this was their worst leader in Witch history!
So turning the cheek and acting blind to it all was easy.
With everyone listening, Yanji worked her magic, stirring everyone's emotions.
And as she spoke, the atmosphere turned even colder, with burdening tension in the air.
"Head Witch Jimila. Though I do agree that such reasons can excuse you for your failure to present the Traitor's daughter, there are still some disturbing factors with your story. FIRST!: Even if our sisters were headed to a scum place, why did you underestimate an enemy whose mother had almost eliminated our entire society? Even if told she was a weakling, it's best to give it your all and overkill the b**ch. So... Why go so cheap and send so little?"
Yeah. She's right!
Yanji's words sparked even more questions than before.
Why did the leader have to act so secretive?
It can be said that the leader had only been working with her people here in the main fortress. But what about them in their fortresses?
A darl glint flashed in their eyes.
Even if she sent her goons out, she could still have prepared for backup by sending orders to them to head out quickly.
In that way, they would be coming for the traitor's daughter in batches!
But no, she acted so secretively as though wanting to hug all the glory for herself while guarding against them.
Earlier, they felt that their leader's excuse was reasonable.
But after Yanji's words, their thoughts had done another 180 in the opposite direction again.
Oh... But Yanji wasn't through.
.
"Head Witch Jimila! As per my first point, if you had worked with us, success would've been inevitable. I don't mean any disrespect. But with sister Edna's brilliant mind, we might've gone far."
Jimila felt all her veins exploding.
'If you don't mean any disrespect, then why don't you just shut up? And don't think I don't see you pushing Edna for my position, you old hag!'
In just a second, Jimila had developed the superpower to unleash a thousand curses on Yanji.
She would like to kill and over Yanji as a sacrifice!
And hearing Yanji's voice again, she just wanted to kill the b**ch!
Too bad that was against the Sisterhood.
If she made a move on a sister and anyone found out, she would not only step down from her position but get put to death too.
"Head Witch Jimila. My second point is probably my most important." Yanji spoke in a soft tone, different from her earlier one.
"Head Witch Jimila... I agree that all actions the traitor's daughter exuded were evil and treacherous. But there's just one thing that disturbs my beautiful mind... How true is all you've said?"
