âWhat did you just say?â
The astonishment on Baek Wolâs face quickly turned into murderous intent.
Crunch!
His muscles swelled as if tearing through his clothes, and his disheveled hair rose skyward like creeping flames.
Ssssssaaahhh---!!!
The hostility radiating from Baek Wol engulfed the entire alley.
Crack!
The walls fractured, and the surge of his aura seemed ready to push back the darkness ahead, but...
[Not bad for a little display.]
The man didnât seem the least bit bothered.
Despite the overwhelming hostility, which caused even the attendants behind Baek Wol to foam at the mouth and collapse, the man remained utterly composed.
With his hands clasped behind his back, the man simply stared at Baek Wol. It infuriated him.
âWhat is this?â
How could anyone show such composure in front of him?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was deeply unsettling.
Baek Wol clutched his chest.
It wasnât just the atmosphere. There was something else, something gnawing at him.
Thump... thump...
The distinct vibration he felt in his heart made Baek Wolâs expression twist further.
âA noble?â
This sensation was one he had only ever felt from other nobles.
And yet, despite this resonance, the man before him showed no visible signs of such lineage.
Could he be a pureblood of an even higher class?
No, that couldnât be it. Baek Wol was certain.
If the man were truly a noble...
âDo you dare insult my master...?â
There was no way a noble would speak so flippantly about such a revered existence.
In a world where even mentioning the Generalâs name caused hesitation, to refer to someone even more exalted in such a manner...
It was unthinkable.
[Insult?]
The man tilted his head at Baek Wolâs words.
[What insult are you referring to?]
âSilence.â
Crash---!!!
Baek Wolâs foot slammed into the ground, causing a sudden whirlwind to erupt.
