A swing of Sole Wolf’s sword was all it took to send Adrian’s phone clattering across the ground. At the same time, he also ‘accidentally’ drew a cut across Adrian’s wrist.

“Forget about calling the Prime Minister,” Sole Wolf threatened. “Even the Supreme Leader couldn’t save you if he came personally.”

The murderous aura of the four Alphas pressed down on Adrian, suffocating him.

Ares’ expression was thunderously black. The sheer audacity of these four animals was insulting to the extreme. They had already ensured their graves were dug by killing the Department of Law Enforcement’s personnel.

He could not just stand by idly and watch those four kill Adrian. The man was here by his invitation. If he died here, Ares would not be able to escape the responsibility of it.

“Stop what you’re doing now!” Ares bellowed, clearing the meters of distance between Adrian and him with a single leap.

Landing by Adrian’s side, he expelled the gathered energy in his body in a crushing wave called the King’s aura, suffocating everyone in the radius and forcing them down.

Sole Wolf, who was standing the closest to Ares, struggled to breathe. But still, the four Alphas remained standing defiantly, showing no hint of fear on their faces and refusing to back down.

Even as he struggled for air, Sole Wolf nevertheless managed to hurl an insult at Ares. “You think you can protect Adrian, you old sot?”


“Mindless animal,” Ares snapped, “My abilities are King Class, far beyond what you’re allowed to insult. Let this be a warning to you. Adrian Payne is the Director of the Department of Law Enforcement. He is the highest authority on Eurasian law. He represents the iron-clad sanctity of the laws of our country. If you kill him, your crimes will be unpardonable.”

“We were carrying out the Supreme Leader’s orders to protect the Dragon King Sword when he sent assassins after us. If anything, he’s defying the Supreme Leader.” Sole Wolf spat at Ares’ feet. “He should be killed.”

“You’re twisting the facts unreasonably,” Ares said coolly. “Adrian did what he had to do to protect himself.”

“No,” Sole Wolf said loudly. “He was trying to stop us from carrying out our mission. We all saw it, anyway, didn’t we?”

Killer Wolf, Wolf’s Greed, and the others quickly nodded their agreement.

Ares felt a muscle in his cheek twitch worryingly. It was no use trying to reason with these animals. They will never bow to logic or facts.

Ares glared at Zeke. “These brutes are the best soldiers you can train? A gang of mindless animals?”

Zeke looked improbably pleased, perhaps even proud.

Of course, he had trained them. Their bravery in battle far surpassed any living soldier.

Forget about Adrian, even if the gods themselves descended from the heavens to hurt his Alphas, Zeke would kill them all in retribution.

But of course, Zeke would not actually let them kill Adrian for now. For one, Sole Wolf and the others were no match for Ares. Zeke could save them if he tried, but that would mean exposing his identity as a King Class warrior. He would lose more than he gained.

That aside, however much Zeke hated to admit it, Ares did have a good point. From a certain point of view, Adrian did represent the iron-clad sanctity of the Eurasian law. Sentencing him to death so casually would make a mockery of their law system.

Once again, the situation descended into a stalemate.

However, there was a sudden commotion among the ranks of the Elites of Sole. The sea of troops promptly parted neatly to allow passage.
