The vast Japanese-style courtyard was deathly silent. Even the cats, dogs, and birds had fallen quiet, as if stunned by the monstrous rage radiating from Genji Doju!
Kobayashi Haruo and his fellow disciples hung their heads. No one dared to make a sound, terrified that speaking up would bring disaster upon them!
The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive.
"This matter... what do you all think?" Genji Doju asked, his gaze sweeping over his disciples.
Still, no one spoke.
On one hand, they had no idea what to say. On the other, they were afraid of saying the wrong thing and getting caught in the crossfire of Genji Doju's anger.
Seeing them play dead, Genji Doju's fury intensified. He roared, "Are you deaf or mute? I'm asking you a question!"
Under the circumstances, Kobayashi Haruo and the others didn't dare continue their charade.
