Chapter 173: What is the proof of your accusations? - 2
To everyone's surprise, they found an old man wearing a white robe floating above the Cutler's residence, gazing at Rias and William with a calm demeanor.

He had long gray hair and a thick beard that reached his chest, while his dark eyes contained an endless amount of wisdom and experience.
A scar ran down the left side of his face, giving him an imposing appearance.
Despite his old appearance, his muscular body was filled with vigor and vitality, and he gave off the image of an immovable mountain that would never succumb to adversity.
The moment he appeared, all of the nearby elders recognized him. That old man was none other than Grand Elder Nathan Cutler, one of the most influential figures within the entire Twilight Mist sect.
"Grand Elder Cutler..."
"Grand Elder Cutler has arrived!"
The crowd whispered amongst each other as they began discussing amongst themselves about this sudden development.
Rias narrowed her eyes when she saw Nathan appear and said, "Grand Elder Cutler, I didn't know that you would stop your close-door cultivation to interfere in this matter."
Nathan let out a chuckle as he responded, "Elder Rias, I know your personality, so I decided to step in to prevent any further clashes between you and my son, William. I'm sure that you would agree with me that it's better for our sect's reputation if this matter doesn't escalate any further than necessary."
Upon hearing this, Rias sneered and replied, "Reputation? Grand Elder Cutler, this is about justice and punishing the culprits. Do you dare to question my sense of justice?"
Although Rias trusted her daughters, it wasn't the same for Asher. After all, she just met him for a brief period, and she wasn't sure if he also had any malicious intentions in his heart.
There are many times when enemies hide behind innocent faces and use tricks to deceive the eyes of others. They disguise themselves as sheep and infiltrate the group to find weaknesses to exploit. It is the oldest trick in the book of deception and treachery, used by wicked people to achieve their selfish goals by manipulating the emotions of others.
Thus, she remained silent when Nathan proposed such an idea and waited for Asher to speak instead.
As for the trio, they were taken aback when they suddenly became the center of attention.
Scarlet and Cecil wanted to speak on his behalf but held themselves back in the end when they saw that Asher still remained indifferent despite the tense atmosphere.
After all, he was the one who asked them not to share his family background before he passed the trial and became the official disciple of the Twilight Mist sect.
He wanted to avoid attracting too much attention and surprise a certain someone who was training in closed-door cultivation on the special grounds of the Twilight Mist Sect that were restricted.
After staring at his son for a few moments longer, Nathan turned his gaze towards Asher and ordered him to speak with a commanding voice. "Boy, approach here now and state your name and circumstances. Tell us everything regarding your identity and the events that transpired."
He also released his aura, causing massive pressure to bear down on Asher, which almost forced him to his knees.
A frown marred Asher's face due to the sudden display of power, and he glared at the old man with disdain in his eyes as he stood tall. "Old man, it seems like your family likes to threaten others into submission, huh? Well, maybe you never learned that there are always bigger predators in the food chain."
Everyone became shocked when they heard his disrespectful words. No one has ever dared to talk to Grand Elder Cutler like that before.
Ava gasped in shock when she heard Asher's insolent speech and was about to scold him, but at that moment, a hypnotic voice rang out.
"Fufu... Darling, you seem to be in a bad mood."
