章節 1678: Easy

Ryu stood in the skies, his fury still not abating, and yet coming out in a controlled stream. 

The silence was palpable and the trembling waves of qi in the surroundings seemed to suppress everything. It felt like with a thought, Ryu could kill everyone in the surroundings should he have wanted to. 

Ryu landed in front of Elena, his gaze still intense. 

"Do you know why I killed him?" Ryu finally asked. 

Elena's eyes watered, her lips rolling over them. How could she not know? But just how much trouble would doing so bring? 

Elder Vermo wasn't guilty of much more than a minor slight, if it could be called that at all. He let Elena's impudence slide even though it skirted the rules, and the "worst" thing he did was question Ryu based on the young man's accusations… at least from an outsider's perspective.
