The furniture in the hall was completely destroyed, and a cloud of smoke and dust billowed through the spacious area, creating a hazy atmosphere.
The house was already dilapidated, with several cracked planks teetering on the edge, the fireplace smashed and scattered all over the floor, and the charcoal inside was blown apart and scattered everywhere.
Victor straightened his trench coat, and in front of him stood Angus, who had already removed his armor.
His eyes were lifeless as he knelt on the ground, his gaze murky and vacant, as if he had witnessed something utterly terrifying, leaving him completely dazed.
As if deprived of all senses, his eyes sank into darkness, and he could not even perceive the howling wind and snow behind his ears.
The snow kept swirling over him, and even though his body was frozen stiff by the cold, he couldn't feel any warmth at that moment.
Viktor stood quietly beside him, while the raven perched on his shoulder, as if nothing had happened.
Hearing the loud explosion, everyone rushed over. Victor turned his head and saw Kefla staggering towards him.
Following behind her was a thin young man.
Then, a group of knights arrived, dragging their heavy armor.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the ruins before them and Angus kneeling on the ground with lifeless eyes.
What's going on here?
Angus's body was covered in wounds, and the bright red blood had not yet congealed in the cold. Accompanied by the cold water from the melting snow, the blood slowly flowed from the wounds.
This clearly indicates that they have just been in a battle.
Kefla looked bewildered, slowly raising her head to look at the expressionless Victor.
"This is what you mean by...a proper talk?"
Now, she can hardly imagine what Victor and her father went through, or why they fought.
What she found even harder to accept was...
Viktor actually became the one who stood unharmed until the very end?
Is he so powerful that he can even face a Grand Knight of the Empire?
At this moment, Kevlar's feelings were extremely complicated.
No matter how much Angus's actions displeased her, he was still her father.
Jia Xiu saw his father kneeling on the ground, lost in thought, but he didn't seem surprised at all.
He simply raised his head again and looked coldly at Viktor.
“Victor Clavner is suspected of assaulting the head of the Delin family, Earl Angus.”
"In the name of Jash Delin, son of Earl Angus, I request that all Northern Knights be mobilized to capture Victor Clavner."
"This matter should be reported to the capital immediately."
Upon hearing this, Kefla looked at Jashy in disbelief.
"Jia Xiu, what are you doing...?"
"The facts are right in front of you. Regardless of your father's current state, Viktor attacked your father."
There were countless knights present who could testify to this, Kefla knew it very well.
Jaxiu's gaze never left Viktor; he simply stated indifferently:
"I know you are powerful, you can kill any of us."
"You have already defeated the strongest person here. Now, no one can stop you."
“But even if you kill us all, you can’t stop this news from reaching the capital.”
As Jassi's words reached Kefla's ears, a chilling coldness suddenly swept over her body.
At this moment, Kefla felt that her family members were so unfamiliar.
They were scheming from the very beginning when they invited Viktor.
Angus will definitely take action against Viktor, and at that time, it will be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
The battle between Victor and Angus will surely reach the capital and the emperor's ears.
But the most important thing is...
It was passed on to Gwen.
Has Gwen lost her sense of justice?
Okay.
When Victor, who had killed her family, stood before her.
What will Gwen choose?
The answer is self-evident.
Stubborn as she was, she could only see Viktor as a sinner.
Even though Viktor didn't do that.
Unable to defend oneself—
Unless Gwen's sense of justice is restored, and her ability to distinguish between good and evil, truth and falsehood returns.
But in this way...
Gwen will return to being that stubborn and righteous knight.
This coincided with Angus's plan.
In an instant, Kefla understood everything.
Jash didn't make Viktor make the choice; he only made Gwen make the choice.
Either Viktor is guilty.
Either Gwen's abilities are restored.
You can only choose one of the two.
Kevlar's voice trembled violently:
“Jia Xiu…”
You make me feel like a stranger.
Hearing Kefla's question, Jashu ignored her and continued to look at Victor.
He wasn't even on guard; he just stood there.
Even in the next second, Viktor could easily kill him with just a wave of his hand.
He was not afraid of death at all; perhaps he believed that his sacrifice could make the plan even more perfect.
And so, Victor made his move.
"A clever little trick."
He looked directly at Jia Xiu, his eyes filled with his own unique arrogance.
"Perhaps I have to admit that your threat was indeed something I hadn't considered."
"But aren't you underestimating me?"
A ball of flame suddenly ignited in front of Jia Xiu, and the next second, Victor transformed into a ball of elemental flame, with only his head showing in the air as he looked at the thin man.
