"M-Madam Layla, please forgive the young master. He doesn't mean it in that way or anything. He is just confused because of the heartbreak. I hope you understand it and forgive the young master..." Peter suddenly bowed and pleaded with Madam Layla to forgive Henry for his insolence.
Peter thought that if he were to beg Madam Layla to forgive Henry, there is a high chance that she will do so considering the friendship between her husband and Henry's father.
"Forgive him?" Madam Layla shot a stern glare at the servant.
Peter then immediately turned to Henry and said, "Young master, what are you doing there? Please come here and apologize to Madam—"
Before Peter could finish his sentence, Henry roared at him.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP, PETER! I mean what I said. I will kill this bi—"
As Henry was about to call her a 'bitch' again, Yuan didn't remain silent this time and immediately closed the distance between them. How could he tolerate his lover being called a bitch again?
He was only holding back because he was giving some face to Madam Layla due to her husband's friendship with Henry's father. If not, Henry would've died long ago.
Bam!
Suddenly, a powerful punch landed on Henry's face out of nowhere, sending him flying toward the entrance, and the force of the impact opened the door, making a loud noise.
Bang!
Henry's body flew out of the manor and landed on the front yard of the Monroe family, crushing a few flower pots.
Thud!
Yuan looked at Henry lying on the ground, murmuring in pain, and said to him with an angry voice, "How dare a mutt like you speak so ill of my Rose in front of me? Do you think I will sit here and watch you spout nonsense about Rose and do nothing?"
Yuan was really pissed this time hearing Henry call his future wife and lover a bitch. Henry had crossed the line a long time ago, but Yuan was giving the Monroe family some face earlier. Now, Henry stepped on a landmine by calling Rose a bitch again.
Rose felt a warm sensation in her heart after witnessing Yuan punch Henry in the face for speaking ill of her.
Not only Rose, but the others also felt happy after witnessing Yuan send Henry flying with a single punch.
"Young Master! Are you okay? Let me help you get on your feet, young master!" Peter immediately ran toward Henry, who was lying on the ground in pain.
"Aghhh! It hurts so much!... It seems that my jaw is dislocated by the punch... Aghhh!" Henry mumbled in pain as he tried to get up on his feet with the support of Peter.
Peter was shocked! The young master's jaw was dislocated with a single punch. How is that even possible?
'Damn it! How can he be so strong? I didn't even feel a single speck of mana in his body. How is that even possible? He must be playing some trick to impress Rose, I'm sure of it!' Henry thought inwardly.
After all, mana is essential for both mages and knights, and without mana, they were nothing but normal people. So, it was obvious to Henry that Yuan must have used some kind of trick to temporarily increase his physical strength to punch him.
After helping Henry get back on his feet, Peter stared at Yuan with a face of disdain. If a stare could kill people, Yuan would've died a hundred times by now.
"Y-Y-YOU BASTARD!! How dare you hit the young master again?! Don't you know that he is the future Lord of the—" Before Peter could finish his words ridiculing Yuan, suddenly Yuan appeared next to him and delivered a powerful slap to his face.
Slap!
Peter's front row of teeth fell out from his mouth along with blood as Yuan's palm hit his face, and he immediately fell onto the ground alongside Henry.
"Future Lord of the Turner family? Do you think I won't dare to kill the two of you just because of your family background? You've met the wrong person here, pal, because I don't give a shit about Turner or whatever family it is."
"Do you know the reason why I was silent earlier despite all the nonsense you two are uttering about Rose? I didn't interfere earlier precisely because I was giving some face to the Monroe family, but you have crossed the line that you shouldn't have. Now no one can stop me from killing both of you..." Yuan said as he released his killing intent at them.
As soon as Yuan released his killing intent on both of them, the atmosphere around them took a drastic change and became quite grim.
Henry and Peter felt their bodies getting numb, and their legs trembled in fear as an unknown terror aroused in their hearts. They could sense an eminent danger coming from Yuan and felt as if it was getting harder to breathe.
'He isn't joking! He will really kill us... And he didn't even put the Turner family in his eyes. Who is this person anyway? I've never heard of any Yuan before. Young master really did offend someone that he shouldn't have this time...' Peter cried inwardly as he kneeled on the ground alongside Henry.
As for Henry, he couldn't even muster the courage to lift his head to look at Yuan, even just for a second.
Meanwhile, his mother Grace, witnessing her son's oppressive aura, let out a delighted smile on her face.
"This is the Darling I love. He is as protective as always. That's what I love about him the most, always caring about us." Grace said with a dazed voice.
"I can't agree more!" Emma nodded.
"Agreed!" the other girls nodded in unison.
Xi Meili stared at Yuan strangely, a bit confused, to be precise.
'How can hubby emit such a powerful killing intent? In order to emit such a strong killing intent, one needs to kill hundreds of thousands of people, but Hubby is only 19, and he hasn't even killed more than a hundred people. How is it possible for him to have such a strong killing intent at such a young age? It doesn't make any sense to me...' Xi Meili was surprised and wondered inwardly.
It was obvious that Yuan was only 19 years old and hadn't killed that many people, but for him to have such a strong killing intent was quite a mystery for her.
"Cough! Cough!" Not even a minute had passed, and both Henry and Peter coughed up a mouthful of blood from the killing intent, as they were unable to withstand it.
The Monroe family was surprised to see both Henry and Peter spitting up blood for some unknown reason, which they didn't comprehend at all. They couldn't believe what they were seeing right now.
'What the hell did Yuan do to make them cough up blood like this? Why didn't I notice anything? Did he use some kind of forbidden magic and curse them?' Madam Layla cried inwardly.
'What kind of spell did he use to make them like this?' Julie cried inwardly with a shocked expression as she had never seen anything like this before.
'Is his magic so powerful that we didn't even notice him casting any spell? Is he already at the stage where he can execute changeless magic?' Ava wondered, surprised by Yuan's display of power.
'Is this another one of his strange abilities? He really is powerful, and I'm afraid that Henry and Peter's only fate is death, since Yuan looks so pissed right now...' Rose thought inwardly, feeling a bit happy to see her lover care about her so much despite them becoming lovers not long ago.
At this moment, Yuan suddenly lifted his hand, and quickly a massive sword as tall as him, the Empyreal Oblivion, appeared in his grasp out of nowhere. The sword flickered with excitement in his grasp, emitting a tinkering sound of metal, sounding as though something divine and out of this world.
Yuan's wives smiled seeing the Empyreal Oblivion in his grasp. They knew what it meant if he were to take out this sword - Death.
But unlike Yuan's wives, The Monroe family was speechless, witnessing the massive sword appearing out of nowhere in Yuan's grasp. Where did the sword come from? That's what was going on in their minds seeing the massive sword in his grasp.
Not only them, but Henry and Peter were also shocked and felt fearful toward Yuan seeing the massive sword in his hand.
However, unlike her family members, Rose wasn't surprised seeing the massive sword in her lover's hand as she had already seen it the other day.
'Since he took out his sword, does that mean he is going to kill them? But he can't kill them inside our property; it will be a huge problem for us in the future!' Rose thought inwardly.
'I-Is he going to kill us now? That can't be possible! I don't want to die yet!' Peter and Henry cried inwardly with the same thought, as their bodies started trembling in fear again.
Yuan then slowly started approaching Henry and Peter with a dangerous smile on his face, pointing his massive sword towards them.
For his wives, he looked very handsome, but for the two of them, his smile was nothing but a sign of their impending death.
"S-S-Stay away from us... Don't come any closer!" Henry said with a trembling voice and fear visible on his face as he moved backward.
"Y-You can't kill us... The Lord won't let you off if something happens to us here..." Peter said with an awkward smile of fear on his face as he moved backward, trying to distance himself from Yuan as he kept approaching them.
"That's right, Yuan. You can't kill them here, or I'm afraid the Turner family will make things difficult for us, and more importantly, my father will suffer from this..." Rose said, trying to intervene before Yuan killed them.
'That's right! I almost forgot that I can't kill them here, not inside the Monroe family's property... But what if I take them out of here and kill them outside of the village?' A sinister smile appeared on Yuan's face.
He realized that if he couldn't kill them here, he could easily take them out of the village and kill them outside, where no one would notice him.
Yuan turned to Madam Layla and said with a smile, "Since I can't kill them here, I won't make things difficult for you all... But what if I take them outside of the village and kill them? It's doable, right?"
"If you have the power to take them outside without being seen by anyone, then yes, you can kill them outside the village with no problem at all." Madam Layla said with a sly smile on her face.
'I want to see if you're capable enough to bring them outside and kill them without anyone's notice, hehehe!" Madam Layla thought inwardly, challenging Yuan.
Yuan smiled, delighted by Madam Layla's reply. He then approached Henry and Peter and threw his sword into the air.
"What are—" Before Henry could finish his words, Yuan grabbed his neck and Peter's neck, and they were both lifted off the ground as Yuan stepped onto the flying sword.
"Let go of me..." Henry struggled to free himself from Yuan's grasp, but his efforts were useless. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Let the Young Master go..." Peter also struggled to break free from Yuan's grasp.
Yuan ignored their pleas and soared into the sky on his flying sword at a ludicrous speed, as though he was a cannonball shot out from a cannon.
