82: Rudeness will not be tolerated - Part 2

Liam took a deep breath, his hands tightening around the papers in his grasp. He had spent so long controlling himself, keeping his emotions in check, and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. 

But for the first time in what felt like forever, he let his anger slip.

He didn't lash out physically, nor did he raise his voice. 

Instead, he let his aura leak just a little—just enough for the receptionist to feel the weight of his presence.

Immediately, the air in the office changed.

The woman's breath hitched, and her body stiffened as an invisible pressure pressed down on her. 

Her face, which had been filled with arrogance just moments ago, drained of all color as she struggled to breathe.

Her hands clutched at her throat, her eyes wide with terror. 

She instinctively tried to summon magic, a defensive spell, anything—but nothing came. Her mind, usually sharp and composed, was blank with fear.
