Killing intent spilled openly from Nick Crane's gaze."Insolent!" Ezra Kingsley roared, his voice shaking the room. "You're staring death in the face and you still refuse to repent!"Ashlyn Winters tugged urgently at Nick's sleeve, her expression stricken with panic. "Nick! Stop talking!"Aldric Stormwell's eyes darkened to something cold and venomous. "What a reckless mongrel. You dare disrespect the Walton f

Every guest in the hall stood with their mouths hanging open, unable to believe what they were witnessing.The Sunblade Warlord had knelt of his own accord and begged Nick Crane's forgiveness.What kind of honor was this? What kind of absurdity?The Stormwell family's people were trembling from head to toe, not daring to utter a single word. Ezra Kingsley rose from his seat, wanting to greet the Sunblade Warlord properly, but his legs refused to move. Today, they had offended Nick beyond measure. If Nick decided to hold them accountable, what could they possibly do?Damien Ravencroft was drenched in cold fear. He thanked every star in the sky that he hadn't continued fighting Nick. Otherwise, he would have ended up exactly like his brother-in-law.The other guests at the gala were caught between shock and terror. They had assumed that when the Sunblade Warlord arrived, he would personally take Nick down. The Stormwell family was on good terms with the Warlor

Aurelius Cain clenched his fists, staring at Warren Gallagher with undisguised confusion."Is this man one of yours?"Warren shook his head slowly."Someone like him? My squad wouldn't dare take him in."Aurelius let out a short laugh, convinced the other man was playing games. "Enough. Stop stringing me along.""I'll tell you straight: I'm taking this man today. That's final."Every soldier under Aurelius's command raised their weapons, barrels and blades trained squarely on Nick Crane."As long as I'm standing here, you won't touch a hair on his head." Warren's voice dropped to a cold edge. His own men moved in unison, drawing their weapons and leveling them at Aurelius's forces. If they dared make a move, they would learn exactly how unforgiving the Tempest Warlord could be.Nick watched Warren arrive and gave a slight nod of acknowledgment. Warren understood that Nick never voluntarily revealed his identity, so he would maintain the cover

Ashlyn Winters was pacing in frantic circles, her anxiety mounting with every passing second. She looked at Nick Crane sitting there with that impossibly calm expression, and it made her feel even more helpless. She had no idea what to do.Graham Preston was coughing violently, blood still flecking his lips, but he had already sent word to the Sunblade Warlord. He refused to believe the Sunblade Warlord couldn't handle this man. Nick's background was far too strange. The martial techniques he wielded were mysterious and devastatingly powerful, nothing like an ordinary person's. Perhaps only the Sunblade Warlord himself could deal with someone like that.Everything that had happened tonight left everyone in the hall still reeling. Even Ezra Kingsley sat trembling with his wine glass in hand, not daring to move a muscle. This was Graham, a man whose name alone commanded fear, and even he hadn't been able to kill or capture Nick. What chance did ordinary people stand? If Nick

Nick Crane had no intention of listening to him.He drove his fist downward with full force.Graham Preston's fury reached its peak. He drew a golden rod from his waist and lashed it outward with everything he had. The rod shattered into two pieces on impact, absorbing just enough of the blow's momentum to keep Aldric Stormwell from being killed outright. Even so, Aldric crumpled where he stood, blood spilling from his lips as he slipped into unconsciousness.Not a single member of the Stormwell family dared step forward. They could only watch with desperate, pleading eyes, hoping that Mr. Preston might somehow save Aldric's life."You've got some nerve," Graham snarled, his voice cutting through the stunned silence, "killing someone on my ground."He let out a contemptuous laugh. "What exactly do you think you are?"Ashlyn Winters rushed over in a panic. "That's Graham," she whispered urgently, gripping Nick's arm. "He's the principal of the special di

Stop talking!"Aldric Stormwell's eyes darkened to something cold and venomous. "What a reckless mongrel. You dare disrespect the Walton family. You dare profane their name." His voice rose to a commanding bark. "Stormwell guards, hear my order! Take this animal's life!"Squads of well-trained bodyguards materialized from every doorway, filing into formation with practiced efficiency. Ashlyn's face drained of color. She hadn't expected the Stormwell guards to arrive so quickly.Every member of that guard force was a Martial Warrior cultivated at enormous expense by the Stormwell family. They were called bodyguards in nam

"Ahhh!"The female guests who had come to the banquet turned pale and screamed in terror.Some in the crowd fainted outright.The entire reception erupted into chaos."Murder! Someone's been killed!""Help! Somebody help!"Ashlyn Winters trembled violently with fear, and several of her friends turned their faces away, unable to watch any longer.Nick was too bold, too arrogant!"Nick, you've lost your mind!" Ashlyn's lips quivered as she stared at him in disbelief. "You actually dared to kill Cassius Stormwell!"No one from the Stormwell family had expected Nick to kill Cassius right under their noses. Their fury knew no bounds."You beast!""Today you'll pay with your life!""I'll tear him to pieces!"Damien Ravencroft's mind reeled in shock. He was both stunned and terrified. Nick had actually dared to kill his brother-in-law in front of everyone.Ezra Kingsley was consumed with rage. Just moments ago, he'd trie
