Chapter 168 Investigation

Fury churned in the air like a gathering storm, and despite standing before Edric- the head of one of Regalhold's Five Great Families-the surrounding crowd had little patience left in their tone.

Edric's face was equally grim as he stared at the young man from the Sunset Empire.

His voice dropped cold as steel. "Slipping past multiple layers of security to sneak in? I'll admit that takes some skill. But since you came here uninvited-don't expect to walk out again."

At his words, the heavy tension in the air eased ever so slightly, though the killing intent in everyone's eyes remained sharp and burning.

All eyes locked onto the Sunset Empire youth with open hostility-yet the man himself remained unfazed.

With a slow, condescending sweep of his gaze across the gathered elites, he let out a low, disdainful chuckle.

"Your monarch practically begged for cooperation with Sunset Empire," he said. "And you-just a lowly family head-dare stand against us?"

His words stunned the crowd into brief silence.
