"How... how could this be?!"
Above the central area of Cloud Mist Lake, amidst multiple scanning gazes, an elderly man dressed in gray clothes saw the name of Declan Hawkins disappear from the leaderboard. His pupils constricted, and his complexion changed dramatically.
At the same time, a powerful aura involuntarily surged from him, causing a palpitation among some of the weaker individuals around.
"So strong!"
"Who is he? Just his aura is terrifying!"
"You don't recognize him? He is the Grand Elder of the Hawkins Family, a seventh-grade family!"
"Hawkins Family Grand Elder? Why did he come personally? Normally, his status wouldn't bring him to such a gathering, right?"
"It seems Declan Hawkins being killed is hard for the Hawkins Family Grand Elder to accept."
