There is one thing to assure Elaine her parents are safe and another to turn to her master and accuse him of taking her parents hostage.
These two things are not easy to say boldly.
On one side, Elaine was just exposed as someone being held against her wishes.
Then, her master was exposed as the one doing the holding. He was the one who was making sure the lady didn't have any say in how her life progressed.
These two discoveries were all made by a mere brat who was smiling like he hadn't just accused a Pill Saint of doing evil deeds to his disciple.
"Pill Master Elaine, is it true your parents are being held hostage?" someone asked from the audience.
Elaine turned and looked at the VIP box where her master was and then back at Kent.
"You can answer. Your parents are no longer in harm's way, so speaking the truth wouldn't harm them," Kent said.
The moment those words brought Elaine's confidence, Kent waved his hand.
