"What do you think you're doing?!" the man roared, veins bulging in his neck.
"We are from the White Snow Sect!"
He pointed a shaking finger at the walls, his pride puffing him up like a rooster.
"I'm Aulus! Sect Leader of the Falmuth Kingdom Branch! You don't want to do this! Show some respect!"
There was a hush.
Then—
"Shut it."
Lily's voice cracked through the air like lightning. Her eyes had turned pale, icy white, glowing with fury.
Aulus visibly gulped.
Even his disciples took a collective step back, not from fear of Sky High Sect…
But from fear of her.
Lily's expression was serene.
Serene in the same way a frozen lake looks peaceful—right before it shatters and drags you under.
"You already have a 100,000 tael bounty on your head," Lily said coldly, not even looking at Aulus. "What gives you so much courage that you think you can threaten our sect?"
She waved lazily at Bryan.
"Back inside."
