Chapter 781 – Augustus’s Fear and Disbelief
*****“Sir Augustus,” he began haltingly, “I… I just remembered. The mission you entrusted to me two weeks ago… I haven’t completed it yet. I really must leave to see it done.”The man swallowed hard and tugged his wife up by the arm, signaling for his children sitting further back in the third section to follow.Without hesitating again, they hurried out quickly, almost tripping over themselves in their rush.That was all it took.The rest of the guests, as if fearing they might be caught in some deadly plague by staying a second longer, scrambled to their feet, panic replacing their hesitation.They shuffled, stumbled, and dragged their families out, all of them desperate to escape the hall before the situation exploded further.Not even the slightest trace of their previous loyalty showed again; instead, all of them were after their survival right now, no one wanting to be collateral when the imagined storm broke.One by one, they fled unti
Chapter 780 – Augustus’s Disbelief
*****“Looks like I also hadn’t come to terms with the huge gaps between us.”The words cut through Augustus’s rage like a hot blade cutting through butter, causing his fist to freeze mid-air, his momentum halting, and the killing intent around him faltering like a candle guttering in the wind.The F-rank fighter, who had already squeezed his children’s hands in what he thought might be his final moment, stood frozen, drenched in cold sweat.In the following second, every gaze turned once more… this time, toward the new voice.It belonged to an elderly E-rank fighter in the first section, his expression calm and almost bored, as he gestured casually to his kin.“We’re also leaving this farce before the situation, which was already dangerous, spirals into something none of us can salvage,” he said flatly, making no effort to lower his voice or soften his tone.For a moment after hearing this, Augustus just stood frozen, too staggered to respond.
Chapter 779 – Augustus’s Rage
*****(Bonus Chapter)For a moment that felt like an eternity, Augustus merely stared blankly at the F-rank fighter, disbelief flashing across his face.‘Did this insect just interrupt and defy me… again?’ This thought echoed in his mind.The F-rank fighter’s body was trembling all over under the weight of Augustus’s suffocating aura, and his face was pale, his knees nearly buckling.But even then, his eyes burned with pure defiance, his jaw locked tight.“Suffer your what?!” the man spat again, louder this time, his voice hoarse but firm.His disgust bled into every single word. “We’re all obviously staring down a crisis, something we should be planning together to fix, and yet you…” His eyes narrowed with pure rage. “You still think the world spins around you. You still dare to look down on Miss Ayra, even now? Looks to me like the Scoan family is indeed tired of living!”The man spat with rage, fuming frantically as though he was going to explode.Seeing him like this, nea
Chapter 778 – The Defiant F-rank Fighter II
*****Augustus suddenly froze after hearing the man’s words, his eyes widening in disbelief.For a second, he merely looked at the man as though he had grown another head, his mind struggling to process the insult that was just publicly hurled at him by an F-rank fighter… a mere F-rank fighter.Earlier, Augustus had convinced himself about why mere F-ranks and the unranked had dared to speak so brazenly before him.He had excused their outburst against him and his family as nothing more than the product of adrenaline, chaos, and fear.But now… the dust had settled, the fire had cooled, and order had been restored, yet an ordinary F-rank fighter still dares to defy him and speak so brazenly to him?It was unthinkable to him.He was Augustus Scoan, a new E-rank powerhouse and a being who could now wipe an F-rank from existence with the same ease as an F-rank swatting a fly.His name already commanded respect, and his very presence demanded submission… yet an insect had dared to
Chapter 777 – The Defiant F-rank Fighter
*****“There’s no use dawdling on mistakes. The only path forward is to make amends where they must be made.”Augustus calmly and casually folded his arms against his chest, regaining some of the air of authority he had lost.“I will go personally to the Myron family in the coming days and explain the misunderstanding directly. And besides, if memory serves me well, that lass Lyria is but a third-generation member of the Myrons… a child with no true authority. So who is she to command fear from us?”His arrogance returned in full force, appearing blatant and unrestrained, directly shattering the brief softness he had shown before.Witnessing this, all brows across the hall instantly furrowed, some in confusion, and others in disbelief at the audacity of dismissing what had clearly been a warning far greater than he wanted to admit.And before the crowd could fully process it, Augustus clapped his hands lightly, his expression already settling back into the mask of superiority he
Chapter 776 – Back In The Hall
*****Still inside the banquet hall.It had been over one hour since the Amodu family and Sarah were escorted out in disgrace, yet the silence within the vast room remained unchanged.No one spoke, no one reacted, and no one moved.Instead, the air in the hall remained heavy with the residue of humiliation and shock, the silence so absolute that it pressed down on every chest like a crushing weight.Everyone just remained standing where they had been from the start, staring quietly in a daze, the memory of everything that had happened in the past hour flashing in their brain… things so surreal that if they hadn’t witnessed them with their own eyes, they would have found it too difficult to believe.From the first section, where the lofty upper second-rank families had been seated, to the second section of the third-rank families, all the way down to the descendants and guests filling the third section of the hall, the effect was the same.Every man and woman stood in stunned si
