Though Derek's strength was apparent, Arthur Wolf remained confident. As head of the Wolf family, he was one of the most powerful men in the city.
Even this stranger must recognize his status and give him face, for Arthur's father's reputation preceded him.
These thoughts gave Arthur courage as he addressed Derek demandingly. But beneath his bravado, uncertainty nagged at him.
What reason could such a mighty warrior have for smashing into his home like this?
To Arthur's surprise, Derek gave no reply. He simply stared back silently with an unreadable expression.
Arthur grew uneasy under that bone-chilling gaze, which seemed to pierce right through him.
In an instant, Derek's aura exploded forth with crushing force. Pure, overwhelming power assaulted Arthur from all sides with no reprieve.
It was like nothing he had ever felt before - vastly surpassing even the strongest opponents he had faced.
