Chapter 244: True power
Sebastian stared at Olivion and could see the determination in the eyes of the Collapsing Lightning Pillar. Although killing Cain would solve many future problems for the Martel Family, he was not willing to bet his life on it.
"Hmph." The old man only sneered toward Olivion before turning toward Cain.
"Brat, let go of Dominic, now!" He did not use his willpower to force Cain since that would be useless, so he just shouted those orders. The killing intent in his eyes made it clear what would happen if Cain refused.
Cain stared at Sebastian with rage before turning toward Zarak.
"He killed one of my friends inside the dimension."
Zarak’s eyes grew cold, and killing intent appeared in them, but as he stared at Sabastian, Alexander, and the rest of the powerhouses that came from Noble Families, he could not help but sight.
"There are a unique set of rules implemented by the empire when it comes to inheritances, so we can not use his actions to charge him with a crime. I understand the desire in your heart, but it is impossible to bring him with us without triggering a battle in which we could not keep you safe."
Cain’s heart was full of killing intent, and the red light in his eyes grew stronger, but he understood the harsh truth. He was too weak to fulfill the desire in his heart and had to let Dominic go.
In the end, it was all about power. It did not matter whether Dominic broke or not the rules of the empire. What mattered was that Cain lacked the strength to face the powerhouses of the Martel Family.
"Ahhh."
Cain sighed, and the red light weakened as he was about to let go of Dominic’s neck when he his eyes widened. Shock appeared on his face as he looked from one direction to the other.
Sebastian, Olivion, Alexander, and Zarak were confused by Cain’s behavior. It seemed he was looking for someone, but no one was around him.
