Victor took a threatening step closer. "What did it mean by retribution? What haven't you told me?"
Rhozan opened his mouth, closed it again, then attempted to muster a reassuring smile. "The corrupted entity is deceptive. It manipulates minds, twists words to prey on your emotions. You mustn't—"
Victor let out his aura, causing the surroundings to tremble as his qi swept out like a wave.
A thin, sharp distortion of space cracked the ice beneath Rhozan's feet.
"Don't try to BS me."
Rhozan swallowed hard.
Victor stared him down coldly. "If you don't tell me the full truth, I'm leaving. Right now. Your whole civilization's fate can go to hell for all I care."
The Kahr'uun warriors stiffened in shock.
Rhozan's composure shattered instantly. "N-no! Wait—please!"
Victor folded his arms.
