The thick voice, laced with killing intent, rang loud and clear through the hall as all eyes shifted away from the poor human bird that crashed into the table and settled before Zeras and Seena.
Immediately, Seena's heart almost stopped in his chest, looking at the Angelia man walking towards them.
She knew well that the Angelia race valued respect for their rules above all else, and what Zeras had just done was break a rule. The result of that might only be one thing: instant disqualification from the events.
But suddenly, she felt cold hands on her shoulder. She turned to the side and looked at Zeras, who had a confident and reassuring smile on his face.
"He called me a lightning-stricken bird, and when I retaliated, he slapped me. He bullied me, bastard!!!" Turuno roared out, like someone who had suffered unrighteously, as the Angelia man walked towards Zeras.
