When Coleson James first met Carson Flores, it was outdoors, but Vincenzo Reid solemnly led Carson into the Council Hall within the Sect Main Hall, with a warm and respectful attitude!
In the Council Hall, Rhys Fox, the Sect Master of the Hundred Tribulations Gate, was already waiting.
Carson was very clear that they did not respect him, but the Celestial Palace.
Even though the Celestial Palace might be inattentive, and even though Nico Weaver had disappeared, it was still the Celestial Palace, the highest order in the entire Immortal Domains.
As the Immortal Palace Envoy, if they did not give him face, then they were not giving face to the Celestial Palace.
At this critical juncture, as the Celestial Palace was about to reassert its authority, if they did so, they could very well become the chicken killed to warn the monkey.
After some pleasantries, Carson began to listen to the details of the entire incident.
