For most people, yesterday was just another day. Workers still dragged through their schedules, pushing themselves to exhaustion for a paycheck that might never come. Men still chased after unreachable women, left only with screens to type out their frustrations. Readers still checked for updates that never arrived, sharpening their knives secretly…

Yet, for the people in Zovince’s city center, last night felt like the world had turned upside down.

The Tanner Residence going into flames was like a lightning strike on a clear day–sudden, loud, and impossible to ignore.

By morning, it was all anyone could talk about.

For years, Teddy had been untouchable. A force in Chanaea’s power structure that no one dared to challenge.

Yet, overnight, that pillar crumbled.

The news spread fast, reaching the Lannister family within hours.

Wyatt listened as his relatives whispered about what had happened.

He couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“That lunatic Emmanuel actually did it. Is there anything he wouldn’t dare?”

The sheer audacity of it left him stunned.

He contemplated, Emmanuel isn’t just strong–he’s ruthless.

Teddy barely steps down and has already set his house on fire. Not just any house. The Tanner Residence is one of the Big Four powerhouses.

Reckless. Bold. Unforgivable. Yet… these are the traits of a true general.

Even Gwain, with all his skill and influence, would never pull something like this. No matter his bravery–even if he possessed a hundredfold of Emmanuel’s courage–he still wouldn’t have dared to burn the Tanner Residence, as the Tanner family represents much more than just a family.

The forces behind them are far more dangerous than they are.

Nobody knows how far the consequences will reach.

How many influential figures want Emmanuel dead now? Or does he even care? Maybe he’s already made peace with it.

At this point, what’s one more enemy?

Beyond Zovince, on Divine Mountain, life continued as if nothing had changed.
