“You think you’re impressive just because people call you Consul?”Milan pulled out a thin and long cigarette from her Hermes bag, then took a huff before looking curiously at Harvey.“The Smalt Sect has a high reputation, and so does its young master.“That doesn’t mean that a mere subordinate has the same reputation.“Does your master know you’re being this high and mighty right now?“Let me tell you something! Naruse is my man! If you go against him, you go against me!“And if you don’t kneel in front of him, then I’ll kill you myself! Don’t believe me?!”Milan blew a puff of smoke at Stefan’s face with an arrogant yet fearless expression.Naturally, she had already cultivated her personality after studying abroad for many years.To her, having someone like Naruse as a boyfriend was definitely worth showing off.Whoever challenged her boyfriend’s authority would be the same as challenging hers.Stefan froze after hearing Milan’s words; he didn’t know how to reply at all.

“You don’t have a say in that matter! If you don’t give an explanation for this, then we’ll just have to fight it out right now!” Stefan yelled.“Is that so?”Naruse chuckled.“You want to fight me?“With what?“The few experts behind you?“The luck that got you to survive by the skin of your teeth?”Naruse let out a sigh and stood up, tapping Stefan on his face.“You think I don’t know?“You managed to survive only because Harvey got himself involved and saved you.“Do you think you can get your explanation with just a group of people?“How naive!“Even if I kill you right here, nothing can happen to me!“I belong to the Toyotomi family! I’m the spokesperson of the Shinto Way in Country H!“In any case, your laws won’t hold me even if I take you out. At most, I’d be exiled!”Stefan showed a gloomy expression. “You might be shooting yourself in the foot here, Naruse.”“I know that.”Naruse sighed.“But you don’t even have the right for me to do that!”Naruse made a g

Bam!The door was kicked open.Dozens of monks rushed in, with Aryan leading the group.A terrifying aura seeped out of him as he said fiercely, “Which one of your bastards hit the consul? Do you want to die?”The monks were holding repeating crossbows, their expressions cold; they instantly pointed the crossbows at the killers on the second floor, ready to take action at any moment.At the same time, eight monks next to Aryan quickly went to stand in front of Stefan.Their expressions turned horrible when they saw their consul with a swollen face.“Consul! Are you alright?!“Great Wall Vaati already gave the order!“All of the Aenar Temple’s forces can be mobilized!“We’ll be able to take action against anyone who goes against you!”Aryan looked respectfully at Stefan.Naturally, it was already a huge problem that even Vaati was showing his support.No matter the case, Aryan was still a loyal subordinate of the Aenar Temple; he’d naturally take the chance to perform in fr

“What? “You won’t do anything now? Is it because of my pure strength?”Naruse tapped Stefan’s face.“You really embarrassed your entire country, didn’t you?”Aryan gritted his teeth.“You bastard! You think you can just scare us off like that?!“You’re just a God of War! The Aenar Temple has that, too!“We’ll make sure we get the explanation we want!”“Explanation?”Naruse sighed, showing a playful gaze.“In the martial arts world, power means everything!”Naruse took another step forward.Bam!A more horrifying aura seeped out, charging at its targets.Stefan, Aryan, and the people behind them all stumbled around before coughing out blood.Nobody could defend themselves against this level of martial arts. Law, background, authority, and reason held no meaning at this very moment.“Since I already did my part, you should just carry out the rest, Young Master.”Naruse tilted his head, glancing at Amos.“This guy has no right to challenge you!“How about this? As long

“Harvey!”Naruse gritted his teeth with a fierce expression.“No member of the Toyotomi family would ever kneel! You want me to? Over my dead body!”“You want to die so badly?” Harvey nodded. “I’ll help you with that, then.”Harvey casually grabbed a firearm from one of the security guards and took off the safety, then threw it in front of Naruse.“Now, you have three choices.“Either you shoot yourself and show me just how proud you are… Or you kneel and apologize.“Of course, you can try shooting me as well. I suggest you don’t try that, though. You’ll end up horribly if you do.”Harvey smiled faintly as Naruse kept getting agitated by his words.Naruse was already at his wit’s end after his aura was completely sealed… His eyes kept twitching, not knowing what to do at that very moment.After taking a deep breath, he mustered the last bit of his courage to point the firearm at Harvey’s head. Despite that, he didn’t pull the trigger at all.“You chose the worst one after al
