The Inquisitor slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and saluted in front of the Duke.

"Sir, I requested a Mind Read, but instead of complying, this warrior attacked me," the Inquisitor said.

The Duke furrowed his brows and looked at Shang. "A Mind Read is standard procedure for anyone coming from an enemy Kingdom. Why did you refuse?"

Shang only snorted in disrespect.

The Duke narrowed his eyes.

It was like Shang wasn't respecting the Duke at all.

"I killed the strongest Mage present on the enemy encampment, killed three more Early True Mages, destroyed three Mage Towers, donated two of those Towers to the Skythunder Kingdom, answered his questions under a Truth Verification Spell for six hours, but instead of showing me any kind of respect, you treat me like shit and want to dig around in my brain?"

"After ten years, I finally managed to come home, I give the Skythunder Kingdom some presents, but instead of being treated with respect, I get treated like a piece of shit and a traitor."

At that point, the Duke interrupted Shang. "A Mind Read is still standard procedure."

"Fuck your standard procedure!" Shang shouted.

Silence.

The Duke only narrowed his eyes threateningly.

Shang's right eye narrowed as his grin widened maliciously.

Then, he lifted his sword and readied it.

The Mages almost couldn't believe what they were seeing.

This warrior wasn't showing any respect to the Duke at all!

Did he have a death wish?!

"You do know that I have enough justification to kill you on the spot, right?" the Duke asked threateningly.

Shang only smirked, pointed his left arm towards the Duke, and taunted him to come at him.

The atmosphere turned tense, and Shang could feel the insane pressure coming from the Duke.

But on the other side, the Duke also felt a bit nervous.

Something was telling him that attacking Shang was a very bad idea.

Logic told him that he should be able to turn Shang into dust in an instant, but his instincts were telling him that Shang had the power to threaten his life if it came down to it.
