The room fell silent as soon as Brand arrived.
However, Brand didn't pay it any attention. He walked into the shed and sat on the only empty straw mat. Everyone's gaze followed him, focusing on him—especially the young boy named Maher, who was almost frowning while staring at him without moving.
Brand couldn't help but shake his head secretly, thinking to himself, was he really that intimidating? Though he didn't show it, the power of the Golden Domain allowed him to be acutely aware of everyone's every move around him. The other party's tense muscles and heavy heartbeats confirmed that they were extremely nervous.
But he didn't dispel this tension, thinking it was better this way. Although these guys wouldn't expose his matter for the time being, who could say for sure? It's better to monitor their every move here.
Because of his presence, the strange and tense atmosphere in the room persisted until after dusk, specifically after dinner.
