Reginald Hole fell silent for a moment as his body trembled, fighting back the shame and anger threatening to explode. The oppressive aura of Lucas's killing intent, piled on top of the public humiliation before thousands of elite citizens of Hakward City, had shattered the walls of his patience. The Killer Dean wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then let out a shrill, barbarous laugh—a forced laugh to mask the fear beginning to creep through his nervous system."Hahaha... Incredible! Truly admirable arrogance from a mere bug that has just learned to crawl!" Reginald exclaimed, his eyes narrowing vengefully behind his thick glasses. He puffed out his chest, straightening the collar of his black suit as he stepped forward to face Lucas. "I heard you reached the top fifteen in the Life and Death Arena and hacked some assets in the meantime, and now you think you're a god in this Hakward City, Lucas?!"Reginald raised his hand high, pointing straight at the ceiling of the marble hal

"Hahahahahaha... Hahahahaha!"Lucas's laughter shattered the rigid silence enveloping the Grand Hall of Thousand Dragons University. The laughter didn't sound fierce or hysterical; instead, it rolled out so lightly, so casually, yet carried an echo that made everyone's hair stand on end. The young man leaned his body forward slightly, staring at Reginald Hole as if the dean nicknamed the "Killer Dean" were merely a clown who had just finished the most ridiculous comedy act on a stage."Kneel? Apologize? Hand back the Wine Family's assets?" Lucas repeated, straightening his cuffs. Every single word that slipped past his lips felt like an invisible sword strike slamming into Reginald's chest. "Old man... your much-vaunted academic brain seems to have rotted away from greed."He took a single step forward. The cold aura that had previously been suppressed within his body suddenly surged outward with incredible strength. The air around the marble pillars felt suffocatingly heavy, catching

The expression on Reginald Hole's face grew even smugger and filled with arrogance. In his eyes, the title of city lord and the power of the Hole family were the highest, unshakable laws in Hakward City. The Dean Killer crossed his arms over his chest, staring at Lucas as if the man before him were merely a large bug that happened to be able to bite."You think your ranking in that bloody arena makes you untouchable by the laws of this city, Lucas?" shouted Reginald, his voice filled with feigned anger to show his authority in front of the donors. "Kneel! Apologize to Eren, Via, Clara, and even to all the guests of honor tonight! If you don't, tomorrow morning your name will be blacklisted from every business sector, and the city security forces will hunt you down to the ends of the earth!"Lucas was silent. He slowly shook his head gently, flashing a very cold, faint smile—a smile that abruptly made the aura around him feel suffocating."To be honest, ever since I became a God, I hat

The atmosphere of the Thousand Dragons University Hall was dead silent. The stillness enveloping the place felt suffocating, broken only by the fearful breathing of the elites and nobles who had previously looked at Lucas with petty gazes. Now, not a single one of them dared to make a sound—not even to let out a long sigh.Lucas surveyed his surroundings with a cold and bored expression. The revelation of his identity in the Arena of Life and Death did not make him proud at all; to him, all these terror-stricken gazes in the hall were merely shallow drama from people too weak to realize their own position.He tilted his head slightly, then looked down at Evelyn, who was still cradling warmly in his embrace."This gathering seems to be completely useless now," Lucas whispered calmly, his voice contrasting with the frozen terror in the room."I am already sick of the low-class drama here. What do you think, Evelyn?"Evelyn raised her face. The shock from Lucas's secret identity still li

Behind the silence, the atmosphere shattered with a harsh groan coming from beside the cracked marble. Dio—who had previously lain helpless, his body soaked in blood and his consciousness hanging by a thread—slowly began to move his fingers. His swollen eyelids opened heavily, just as his blurred vision caught a sight that struck his pride far harder than any of Lucas's blows."This humiliation... I cannot simply accept this..."Especially seeing Via—the woman who had always acted as though she were a queen by the side of Dio, the seventeenth-ranked fighter—looking as if she were ready to turn her back on him... Seeing his lover’s eyes filled with utter adoration directed toward Lucas.Dio’s blood boiled. The agony racking every broken bone in his body was instantly eclipsed by the rage and humiliation burning through his chest."V-Via... you... you damn bitch..." Dio groaned in a raspy voice, spitting a splatter of blood onto the floor.Dio narrowed his eyes, glaring at Lucas, who st

"Let me go, you damn bastards?! Don't you know I'm one of the prospective heirs of an influential family in this city of Hakward?!"Edward's hysterical cries, slamming against the asphalt just outside the main gates, left behind an echo of ironic wretchedness. The prospective heir of the Wine family—who only moments ago stood as the embodiment of untouchable power and luxury—had now been swept off the main stage like dust on a glass tabletop. The destruction of the Wine family, an economic pillar controlling one-fifth of the city's capital market, had not come through years of bloody warfare, but in a mere matter of minutes at the fingertips of a young man they had dismissed as a 'discarded outcast.'Inside the hall of the University of a Thousand Dragons, the atmosphere grew increasingly thick and piercing. The cracked marble, carved out by the brutal battle moments before, stood as a silent witness to the terrifying magnitude of Lucas’s figure. The air in the room was saturated with
