"I want to murder Viscount Garcia."
Byrne remained silent for a long while before finally speaking out.
The Fischer family had chosen to keep Chris's newfound strength a secret, telling no outsiders, all to take advantage of the information gap to kill Viscount Garcia.
"I cannot intervene."
In one of the Lion clan's estates, within the drawing-room, Viscount Bast, growing increasingly old, smiled as he savored the rich, intense aroma of the tea. He gazed at Byrne and slowly shook his head.
"In fact, not just me, most members of the Lion and Eagle clans cannot intervene."
He paused, laughing softly as he explained:
"Because we've taken 'The Oath' in the Tempest Church with the vast Tempest Overlord, swearing not to lay hands on each other's family members and allies. And in order for us to give 'The Oath,' the Thunderous Monarch even sacrificed a Class 5 Extraordinary Material."
Of course, Byrne was aware of "The Oath."
