At the same time, inside the main hall, there was a ruckus going on between two sides.
A bulky middle-aged man in his late 40s snorted. "Hmmph! You don't know what's good for you. I've said it clearly that the marriage between Ash and the young miss is going to be annulled now. You've got the compensation, so we'll leave now."
"Hey, hey, hey… What's the hurry to leave so early when the main character hasn't even arrived yet?" Ash chuckled from outside the main hall, then stepped inside casually.
Inside the main hall, there were a few people present. A few elders from the Vohn family gathered around the head of the family, who was injured near the main seat while three people were standing in the middle of the hall.
These three people were Ash's fiancée, her dad, and a diamond-rank awakener that Ash had never seen before. When Ash's fiancée saw Ash step inside the main hall with another young man with weird clothes, she widened her eyes in surprise.
"What? Are you surprised that I'm still alive?" Ash sneered, looking at the girl with a mocking smile as he continued. "Do you really think the poison on the pill will work on me?"
When Ash said that, the girl immediately stunned and frowned. But without waiting for the girl to respond, Ash shook his head as he chuckled, "Heartshade Dust, such a high-level odorless poison, shouldn't have existed on this continent in the first place. Let alone using it on a golden rank breakthrough pill."
"Say, who's the one that—"
"Shut up!" A bulky middle-aged man at the Diamond Rank shouted and charged at Ash in anger as if he wanted to rip him apart.
"You dare!" The Vohn's family head shouted, trying to save Ash when he saw the bulky man make a move.
However, Ash didn't care about them at all as he continued his walk toward the main seat while he was actually sweating inside, feeling nervous in case Aeth couldn't respond in time and he might even be dead if he were to be hit by the Diamond Rank Awakener.
When the bulky man suddenly appeared in front of him, Ash's heart stopped beating for a second, and he unconsciously cursed Aeth in his heart since he didn't stop the middle-aged man from charging at him.
Just as the bulky man's palm was about to reach his face, Ash noticed that the man seemed to be standing still as if space imprisoned him completely.
Ash's instinct kicked in, telling him the reason why the man stopped was because the space power had imprisoned him.
Ash slapped the man's hand casually as he continued his walk.
"What are you afraid of, Uncle Liam? He's a mere Diamond Rank." Ash chuckled, waving his hand nonchalantly, and ignored his fiancée and her dads, who opened their eyes widely in shock.
'Aeth? Do you have a medicine pill, liquid, or something that could heal my uncle?' Ash asked Aetherion through their connection as he patted the family head, who stopped mid-way and looked at him with a confused expression.
'There's no need for such things if it's just this simple.' Aeth replied and snapped his fingers.
The family head was surprised when he felt that his internal injury and the palm mark on his chest had disappeared in an instant.
"It's okay, Uncle, you can rest assured, I'll take care of everything from now on." Ash smiled calmly, then spoke with a serious expression. "Aeth, don't let anyone leave this building without my permission."
He then continued as he walked toward the main seat, "Now, let's have a talk with a clear mind, shall we?"
After sitting on the main seat, Ash looked at his fiancée and her father calmly. "Why do you both look so speechless right now?"
"What about you, third uncle? Where did you get the breakthrough pill that you gave me before I went to seclusion before?" Ash tilted his head to the left, looking at a middle-aged man with short bread who showed a terrified expression at the moment.
"I—Ugh…" The third uncle stuttered nervously, but before he could finish his sentence, Ash waved his hand casually as he gave an order to Aeth. "Kill him."
The third uncle's body froze the moment Ash gave the order, and not even a second later, his head was severed by something invisible and fell with a thud.

The others were shocked by Ash's ruthlessness as he instantly killed someone without even waiting for his explanation at all.
"This kind of person is not worth listening to." Ash chuckled lightly, then looked at the duo, father and daughter, with a mocking smile as if looking at idiots.
"Y-You! Do you even know who you're dealing with?" Ash's fiancée pointed her finger at him in anger.
"You're the one who doesn't know that ants are not supposed to meddle in the other's business." Ash sneered and shook his head in a mocking manner.
Ash then continued without waiting for his fiancée to respond. "You know what? Just tell me which one gave you the pill because I couldn't be asked anymore with the bullshit that I would hear from your filthy mouth."
"Y-You… You… You!" Ash's fiancée was speechless, pointing her finger as veins could be seen on her face.
"Yu Yu Yu, is that the only thing you could say?" Ash laughed lightly, remembering something funny related to Yu.
"Anyway, let's end it quickly since I don't like to prolong things for something I bet they don't even know." Ash shook his head helplessly, as he was sure that these people wouldn't even know if they're just mere pawns.
He had also become impatient to open his other rewards after realizing that, from Aetherion alone as an example, he knew that his other rewards were going to be good, at least for the lottery chance where he would be guaranteed the best reward from it.
"Kill these two men and let her live for now." Ash ordered, waving his hand nonchalantly.
The Diamond Rank Awakener could only grumble as he couldn't even move his mouth while the girl's father screamed in anger. "YOU FUCKING—"
Before he could finish his sentence, he was imprisoned by Aeth's spatial power, then his head was immediately severed cleanly together with the Diamond Rank's head, and blood sprayed everywhere like a fountain as their heads fell with a thud.

"I know that you're probably going to say you don't know anything or whatever that is, but keep it to yourself because I don't want to hear such bullshit from you right now." Ash tapped his fingers on the armrest in rhythm before giving another order. "Cut off one of her arms as a lesson and hang it with the other heads on the gate as a warning to the others."
Ash thought that if he were to spare his ex-fiancée in this way, he would definitely get benefits later on since he knew that she would take revenge while trying to save her arm to be reattached as he intentionally hung her hand as bait.
"Ash, don't go too far!" Ash's fiancée shouted with a furious, mixed pity expression.
"Go too far? Bitch, you're the one who started this, yet you dare to say that? How stupid can you be?" Ash sneered and waved his hand, signaling Aeth to execute his order.
Aeth only waved his palm lightly, and not even a second later, her right arm was severed from her shoulder cleanly.
"Remember, this is only a small warning and the last warning for you and the one behind you." Ash tapped his feet on the floor as he spoke with a serious expression.
He then snorted and waved his hand, "Get the fuck out of here! Don't ever let me see you again."
