Chapter 2893 Someone Must Step Forward

Once everyone had settled down, Paintaker straightened his patched robe. Then, he clasped his hands and stepped forward, saying, "Respected One, I am Paintaker, a disciple of Kurt from Southcloud Temple. I respectfully request entrance into the mountain."
If Matthew had been there, he'd have been taken aback by Paintaker's astonishing transformation. Before, Paintaker avoided violence and wouldn't exploit his sect's reputation like this.
Even Paintaker had yet to notice this change in himself. After Matthew guided him following his failure to protect Lola, Paintaker became better at assessing situations and empathizing with others.
