"Sikokun, don't even think about going in. I can't let you ruin Lord Rijeka's plan."
At the gate of Madam Konia's estate, Gaelic and his men blocked Sikokun, preventing her from entering the grounds.
Sikokun said coldly, "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"If the Emperor is left with only one heir, he will have no choice but to select that person, even if he doesn't like them."
Sikokun said no more. She charged forward in a single step, a great hammer taller than half a person materializing in her hands.
"BAM!"
With a single swing of her hammer, two of the interceptors were instantly smashed into a meat pulp. Hiding behind them, Gaelic's eye twitched as he commanded the remaining dozen or so men, "Stall her!"
The dozen or so men swarmed her. They were all elite Ascenders and possessed a significant numerical advantage, yet they could barely manage to defend themselves.
