Chapter 111:

? ? ? ? ?

Alicia had been hit several times and had hit her head, but her injuries were not serious. She leaned against the wall and slowly walked down the stairs, looking everywhere for Caden.

Finally, she saw him at the party on the lawn.

As he approached, he felt something strange. Caden was standing in the middle of the crowd, exuding an intimidating presence. No one dared to come closer, as if his aura was ordering them to keep their distance.

The entire crowd remained silent, watching him. Mrs. Reyes stood at the front, her eyes filled with concern as she watched Caden.

Alicia noticed an empty chair and sat down, aligning herself with the crowd's gaze.

In front of Caden, a group of children from the previous incident were standing in a straight line, waiting for their orders. They were hanging on his every word.

“Channel all your strength into defeating the others. Whoever loses will be punished. The last one standing will earn a reward from me,” Caden announced.

His voice was a mixture of lightness and authority.

He looked like a general leading his troops into battle.

Alice watched the children who had once strutted around like a gang of bullies. Now, they stood as timid as lambs, completely subjugated by Caden's imposing presence. They didn't obey out of respect, they followed out of fear.

Everyone, even children, knew what it felt like to fear authority.

Caden stepped back slightly, his gaze shifting to Alicia in his peripheral vision. He frowned briefly, but the expression quickly disappeared.

The children erupted into chaos, fighting among themselves.
