The old man listened to Ethan's demand, though a trace of worry appeared in his eyes—worried that Ethan might go too far and end up killing them.
"Remember! Don't kill them."
Ethan stayed silent, giving no reply, then turned around to see twenty challengers walking into the battle arena.
Some of them trembled in fear, while others still looked confident enough to take him down.
Risa glanced at Leon. Leon smiled and nodded, clearly telling her that Ethan would be fine.
Even if the challengers were many, Ethan's level was far above theirs. That alone was proof enough that Ethan outclassed them.
Ethan narrowed his eyes, still gripping the Tempest Reaver in his hand. He stared straight ahead, watching the twenty men who had yet to make their move.
They were afraid to step forward, afraid to act, afraid to attack. Ethan was terrifying, and they all knew it.
