Master Kael switched sides
Kael turned to Derek slowly.
His face was cold. Stone still.
“You idiot,” he said. “Your father’s clever, but you? You’re the opposite–an arrogant little brat. You set me up against him? You trying to die today?”
Derek barked back, “What’s wrong with you, Master Kael? He’s just a nobody, Did you drink poison or-
SLAP!
Derek’s body lifted off the ground, spun midair, and hit the floor with a thud. Blood spilled from his lip. He didn’t move.
Gasps exploded around the chamber.
“Did Kael just hit Derek?!”
“Has he gone insane?!”
“Did that stranger curse him or something?!”
Kael didn’t blink.
He walked over to Derek’s crumpled body, stared down at him.
“You ungrateful worm,” he spat. “You thought you’d use me to humiliate him? Make me your puppet? You think this is a joke? how dare you drag me into your mess?”
Derek groaned, barely conscious.
Then-
SLAP!
She staggered, grabbing her cheek. Her eyes burned with rage.
Kael turned on her coldly. “Arrogance I can handle. But stupidity? I don’t work with people who are both. And you,
Master Koel switched sides Emilia White—you’re a special kind of dumb.”
“You dare-?!” she shrieked. “You dare work with this stranger and turn against this family! I will have your head once my brother in-”
BOOM!
Kael lifted her by the collar and slammed her down with both hands.
Her back hit the marble like a sack of bricks.
She tried to scream, but before she could, Kael pressed his boot down hard on her face, pinning her head to the floor.
