Clash of Pride and Power

"What's wrong?" Ignis'Kai's icy voice cut through the air, bringing Valen back to his senses.

"Cousin, do you remember last night, when we were ambushed outside?" Valen's eyes turned redder, filled with venomous hatred as he glared at Rafael and Duan Yao.

Ignis'Kai immediately reacted, his gaze toward the two men turning sharp and unfriendly. "The ones who attacked you—was it them?"

"Yes! They killed Carlos and the others!" Valen's breathing grew heavier.

He hadn't forgotten last night's humiliation for even a second.

Ignis'Kai's expression darkened as he looked at Rafael and Duan Yao, letting out a cold chuckle.

Rafael and Duan Yao hadn't expected this Valen to be the cousin of Prince Ignis'Kai of the Scaldriths Clan.

But even so, their expressions remained indifferent.

They had already anticipated the consequences of last night's actions.

Running into him at the negotiation hall today didn't faze them in the slightest.
