He let out a derisive laugh. "Well, well… Archbishop Daniel. Emperor Denken. You finally lost your patience, huh? You've decided to interfere in the matter between Lioncrest and Sirius Academy?"
He narrowed his eyes, voice laced with venom.
"Let me make this clear—Alan must die today. Even if the two of you stand in my way, you won't save him!"
Daniel's brow furrowed deeply. He glanced coldly at Stephen, then turned to Alan and said in a calm but urgent voice,
"Alan, leave this man to us. You and your companions must find a way to escape."
He spoke faster now, more serious than ever.
"Our Church's informants have confirmed that many magi arrived in Plantagenet Kingdom today with one mission—to kill you. Among them, six have already reached the Legendary tier."
