As soon as everyone finished eating, the room fell into silence.
All eyes turned to Logan.
The conversation with Yui had already taken place earlier — quietly and privately. She had agreed to be tamed, not out of affection, but for her own reasons.
She wanted power.
Specifically, enough strength to one day surpass her brother, Ren, with whom she'd always competed.
The moment the drops of Logan's blood touched her pinky finger, her entire body tensed.
A searing pain spread through her like fire.
It was a sensation she had only felt once before — the moment she changed class at level 40.
Yui clenched her jaw, covering her mouth with one hand to muffle any sound. She knew her brother was probably nearby, watching.
She wasn't wrong.
Ren burst into the room moments later, sword drawn, fury in his eyes.
"What did you do to her?!" he shouted, charging toward Logan without hesitation.
Before he could strike, a calm but firm voice echoed across the hall.
"Stop."
