“Marcus Draven, you dared to trick me?”Kael Draven and Marcus Draven merely shook their heads, undisguised contempt written across their faces.Without warning, Gareth Draven attacked again.He struck with lethal force, giving Marcus Draven no chance to evade. If the blow landed, Marcus Draven would be crippled even if he survived.Marcus Draven had never imagined that Gareth Draven would launch such a vicious surprise attack. After all, he was only a Venerable. Even in a fair fight, he could not defeat Gareth Draven, much less withstand an ambush.Yet what happened next stunned everyone.Gareth Draven’s attack came swiftly—but he was hurled back even faster.A miserable scream tore through the courtyard.
