The atmosphere had sunk to suffocating levels inside the Throne City's city hall. Nearly all of the Ludendorff family's top leadership had arrived.
Alonzo sat in the main seat, his hands gripping the armrests so tightly that veins bulged and trembled. The others remained silent, staring at the figure in the center of the hall.
It was Ramon. Half of his arm was gone, but the wound had been treated and bandaged.
Nonetheless, he had returned to the Ludendorff family headquarters alone and empty-handed. For the Ludendorff family, this was nothing short of a catastrophe.
"So you're saying Aurora City and its surrounding satellite cities are lost too?" Alonzo's voice was hoarse. He had lost count of how many times he had asked this question.
Ramon's expression was grim as his remaining arm reached across to touch where the other should have been. He growled, "Uncle Alonzo, are you interrogating me?"
With a loud crash, Alonzo tore the dragon head ornament right off the armrest. His fury blazed as he glared at Ramon hatefully.
He roared, "You bastard! You've failed so spectacularly. Shouldn't I hold you accountable? Ramon, do you realize that you've destroyed half of the Ludendorff family's territory?"
His furious roar shook the entire hall, causing the beams overhead to tremble.
Cyril, Garal, and the others were terrified, their heads bowing even lower.
So what if they were martial god level experts? At this moment, they were all jittery and panicked.
