Chapter 465
At that moment in time, as Derek slowly rose to his feet with both hands locked behind his back, the atmosphere in the hall grew heavier. His voice rang through the hall, not loud, but it struck like a gavel. Every syllable was deliberate, sharp, and commanding. The war kings, great generals, military officers, and elite guards all had their eyes fixed on him, knowing that the next words to leave his mouth could very well determine the course of the entire empire.Derek’s expression was calm, yet filled with subtle disdain. “It appears,” he began, “that the Supreme King has forgotten his place.”A wave of murmurs tried to rise from the crowd, but none dared to speak. Derek raised his hand lightly, and silence fell once more.“He has overstepped,” Derek continued. “He has mocked the throne, the bloodline, and the legacy we swore to protect. But because I, Derek of the Royal House, speak not as a mere nobleman but as the voice of the royal mandate today, I will not order Scorpion to sta
Chapter 464
At that moment, upon seeing what had just unfolded, Scorpion’s mask falling off and a shallow cut gleaming across his chin the atmosphere in the great hall twisted into sharp tension. The silence was no longer ordinary. It carried weight. It hummed with anticipation and danger, both allies and skeptics of the royal family, seated frozen. Their eyes darted from Scorpion to the Supreme King and back again, each person questioning silently how this confrontation had escalated so quickly.The four remaining Shadow Knights, standing like dark sentinels behind Derek, instinctively stepped forward. Their movements were small but synchronized, just a single step, yet it shook the room with silent intent. Their hands hovered dangerously close to their weapons, and their cloaks rustled with the faint whisper of death that always followed them.But then Derek lifted his hand.“Stand down,” he said, calm but commanding. His voice was low, yet it carried the force of someone used to control. His e
Chapter 463
The entire hall gasped.Scorpion, known to all as the fastest among the Shadow Knights trained killers who moved like wind and vanished like shadows had been outpaced. And not by another assassin or warrior. By the Supreme King himself. A man most of them had only ever seen in ceremonial calm or political stillness. But now, they saw the fire behind his crown. The raw, terrifying power he possessed.Even Scorpion’s expression changed. For the first time, the cold, composed killer looked surprised. His dagger trembled slightly in the firm grip of the Supreme King.At that moment Everyone else in the room? Frozen. Wide-eyed. Mouths agape. They had just witnessed what look like impossible.Derek, who had ordered the Shadow Knights into the room with smug confidence, clenched his fists slowly. He didn’t say anything yet, but deep down, something cracked. He knew Scorpion’s speed well had seen him eliminate targets before they even realized they were being attacked. And yet, in this moment
Chapter 462
At that moment, upon hearing what Derek just said, the Brain froze. His sharp eyes twitched, but his mind was already racing. So, he actually decided to disrespect the Supreme King by killing Marcus? The thought thundered in his head.The hall was silent, yet heavy. Everyone sitting there had been eager, desperate, even to hear what Marcus was about to reveal. His words could have unraveled secrets buried deep in the shadows, secrets that might finally help them understand the larger scale of what was happening. But Derek had cut that thread before it even formed.At that moment the Brain took a slow breath and muttered, almost to himself, “So this is how it is… You want us to believe you silenced him for order, when in truth, you’ve just given us all one thing to think about, your hands, or the hands of those close to the throne, are tied directly to the Circle.”Immediately Murmurs spread across the chamber. Some of the elders exchanged nervous glances, while a few soldiers clenched
Chapter 461
At that moment, the heavy silence that had wrapped itself around the hall was abruptly pierced by the scraping of chairs against the polished floor. The sound was subtle at first, barely noticeable but as more officers involuntarily shifted in their seats, it grew louder, sharper, echoing with the weight of guilt and fear. All eyes darted about the room, scanning expressions, judging movements, wondering who among them was about to crack under pressure.It was no longer just General Marcus’s confession that had shaken them, it was the terrifying realization that no one, absolutely no one in that hall, could hide from the Supreme King’s technique. There was no point in denial, no room for deception. His ability wasn’t just talk, it was real, precise, and inescapable. And now that the truth had started flowing from Marcus’s lips, there was no telling where the blade of exposure would stop.Some of the War Kings and Great Generals who had hidden ties to the Circle clenched their fists ti
Chapter 460
At that moment, upon hearing what General Marcus just said, the entire hall went still, dead silent. It was as if the very air had been sucked out of the room. Not a single voice, not a single whisper. Nobody could even blink, let alone speak. They were stunned.Just a minute ago, most of them had been skeptical. They thought the Supreme King’s so-called Technique was nothing more than a bluff, some dramatic show meant to scare General Marcus into confessing. They had quietly whispered among themselves, convinced it wouldn’t work. But now, seeing General Marcus speak freely, unable to hold back the truth no matter how much he struggled, they realized it was no bluff. It was real.And terrifyingly powerful.They couldn't believe they had all underestimated the Supreme King. This wasn't just a ruler of title, he was someone who held abilities beyond imagination, techniques so rare and ancient that not even the War Kings or the Great Generals had ever seen them used before. And he used
