The martial artists were mingling, playing drinking games, and recounting the old days, while others drunkenly headed to open spaces to spar.
Many were cheering them on, and while it was a restless sight, there was no sign of quarrel, let alone destruction of property.
If anything, it was within the accepted limit.
However, just as they were busy playing around, the doors to the ballroom were kicked open, and a man in an ink-green military coat strode in.
The commotion left the hall silent, as everyone turned to look at the military man.
However, even before any of the martial artists could ask where he came from, he chuckled coolly and ruthlessly mocked everyone on the spot. "Heh. What a bunch of trash."
Bang!
Kain Loom the Wild Blade slammed his hand on the table, springing to his feet.
He might have conceded to Frank days earlier, but that did not mean that just anyone was allowed to insult him!
Shoving away the people in his way, he strode up to the military man, cracking his neck audibly while brandishing his machete.
"Why don't you take a look at this before you repeat that?" He sneered viciously.
In fact, everyone else in the ballroom was glaring coolly at the military man, but he simply smiled and continued without a care. "You want me to repeat that? Alright, have it your way."
The man placed a cigarette between his lips, and his man quickly brought out a lighter and lit it up.
He took a light puff at Kain's face and sneered. "I said you're all trash."
"Shit, you asked for it!"
Kain certainly could not abide with such an insult, and he raised his machete, swinging it down on the military man's head.
Forget cutting through the man's palm—Kain was using all his strength, but even the shockwave ensuing from his pure vigor did not budge his machete.
And even as Kain put his entire back into it, the military man did not even appear to be exerting himself, even sneering as Kain's face flushed.
"Like I said, you're all trash."
Clang!
The military man snapped Kain's machete in two right then, and while Kain was too stunned to react, he leapt to the air and launched a kick at him.
And the single kick sent Kain screaming as he flew, crashing through several tables as fell unconscious, blood spilling out from his mouth.
"What?!"
It was a sight that left all the other martial artists astonished.
