The clan members noticed Nicolas's disheveled appearance and were immediately confused. However, none of them dared to question him about what had happened.
Even the clan elders turned their heads in different directions, pretending not to see anything.
They all knew how short-tempered the Clan Head was, and asking him about his condition would be akin to stepping on a tiger's tail.
Once Nicolas was out of sight, the clan members began to whisper among themselves, as they were all very confused by the sight and wanted to know what had happened.
"What was that just now? How did the Clan Head end up in such a bloody state?"
"From the looks of it, he took a heavy beating from someone. But who would be capable of doing that in this clan?"
"Exactly. No one here is strong enough to go against the Clan Head and beat him like that."
