The sudden interruption by the soldiers broke the fervent scene, drawing everyone's attention to the intruder as the bustling atmosphere quieted down.
Today's banquet had already been ordered that unless it was a matter of great importance, no one was to disturb the proceedings.
The Kai Family Master coldly stared at the soldier before him, his voice cutting through the air like the chill of winter: "What is it? Speak!"
Though he only uttered those four words, his expression and eyes harbored a deeper meaning, simply translating to: If the situation isn't as severe as imagined, you'll die today!
The soldier knelt on the ground, cold sweat forming on his forehead under the deathly gaze of the Family Head, the pressure truly enormous.
Yet this news came too suddenly, too explosively; he had no choice but to interrupt the banquet, delaying further meant certain death for him too.
"Fa...Family Head, Four Waters Pass has fallen!"
"Huh?!"
