“The second option would remove us from the community. As bad as it sounds, at least we won’t be cheated or made use of. But the flip side is that it won’t be easy for us to expand in the future,” added Sarila.
“I understand,” replied Jiang Fei.
He knew that a self-imposed reclusion would only be harmful in the long run. “What can I do now…” he wondered.
Reading the atmosphere, Sarila left the room, giving Jiang Fei space to think about things on his own. Just when he was on the verge of falling into depression, another uproar was heard coming from outside the palace.
Jiang Fei groaned. “Again…?”
Despite his reaction, he was actually slightly happy for the distraction that would get him out of the house for a bit. Not a minute later, a soldier was knocking frantically on his door.
“Sir! A large group of people have barged into the palace grounds! The Third Squad is currently fighting them!”
“I’ll be right out!” replied Jiang Fei as he hurried out of the palace.
…
“Hold them off! Show them what we do to intruders!”
“Hold your ground! Do not let them in!”
“Third Squad, retreat! Fourth Squad, replace them!”
…
Rather than calling it a fight, it was more like a childish brawl between two groups at school. Many were participating and some were injured, but none were mortally wounded.
“What is going on?!” bellowed Jiang Fei, trying to be heard above the sounds of the fighting.
“We do not know, Sir. We were all roaming about the courtyard when these guys suddenly came barging in. We tried to reason with them but they wouldn’t listen. A fight broke out immediately but there have been no casualties,” said the leader of the Third Squad.
“Thank you, stand back for a bit,” said Jiang Fei, walking slightly closer to the massive brawl. He yelled at the top of his lungs, “13th Division, stand down!”
Everyone responded instantly, “Aye, Sir!”
His voice might not have been able to reach very far but it was still effective. All the soldiers of the 13th Division quickly removed themselves from the brawl and got back into formation behind Jiang Fei.
Once everyone finally quieted down, Jiang Fei walked forward brazenly. “Who is responsible for this mess?!”
Despite speaking at a normal volume, his words carried a deep, reverberating tone that illustrated authority, not audacity. He exuded the kind of aura that only belonged to those who were truly strong.
A Valsalrian revealed himself from the crowd of brutes. “This mess started when you fought Kratos.”
“Who the hell is Kratos?” asked Jiang Fei bluntly, having no idea who the Valsalsian was talking about.
“How conceited you are! No matter! If you are that arrogant, you must also have the capabilities that allow you to be as such!”
That Valsalrian was clearly angered by Jiang Fei’s response. He assumed that Jiang Fei knew who Kratos was and was only pretending to not know.
“Conceited or not, it’s none of your business. As for whether I have the required capabilities…” Jiang Fei paused and gestured provokingly at the Valsalrian, “Why don’t you try me and find out?”
If the Valsalrian had tried to reason with Jiang Fei, he would have gladly listened. But since he wanted to do things the hard way, Jiang Fei would not back down!
“Bah! Looks like the young ones are lacking in manners these days! I, Wayne, shall be kind enough to teach you how to behave!”
The Valsalrian roared and charged towards Jiang Fei. Instead of a cannon ball, Wayne looked more like a train zooming across the track at breakneck speeds!
