Chapter 431: Provocation [2]

Chapter 430: Provocation [2]

Shin found himself ensnared in a web of humiliation, his words twisted and manipulated to amplify his frustration. He became acutely aware of being a hapless victim, fueling the fire of his anger even more.

True to his nature, Shin held a profound aversion to such treatment. The act of being manipulated, condescended to, or belittled served as a catalyst for his simmering anger, threatening to ignite a formidable blaze within him.

"Haha, how pathetic. Did you genuinely believe that you would receive any special recommendation?" the elder jeered, his mocking tone dripping with disdain and a cruel delight in diminishing Shin's expectations.

"Why? Are you someone special?"

"Hahaha," Krone's laughter continued, each chuckle fueling Shin's growing rage until it consumed his rationality entirely.

'That's enough.'

Shin mustered his resolve to retaliate, his pupils visibly tinged with green, while the whites of his eyes betrayed a network of enlarged blood vessels, pulsating with fiery intensity.

Yet, before Shin had the opportunity to voice his thoughts, another voice resonated through the air, cutting through the tension and directed not towards Shin, but against the very elders themselves.

"That's enough!"

In a sudden shift, Shin's anger dissipated, replaced by an expression that seemed to question the very fabric of existence itself, as if pondering the profound mysteries of the world.

To everyone's surprise, it was Mike who broke the silence and raised his voice, causing the dramatic shift in Shin's demeanor.

"What you are doing isn't right," Mike spoke up, defending Shin with unwavering conviction in his voice.

The perplexed elders stood in a state of confusion, grappling to comprehend the situation at hand. 

While Mike might have erred by failing to inform Shin about the intricacies of their realm, it was widely known that he was not one to show disrespect towards the elders.

In fact, Mike's unwavering loyalty and unparalleled dedication surpassed that of many others. His readiness to venture into enemy territory for the sake of their kingdom was a testament to his unwavering commitment. 

However, there was another reason behind the prevailing surprise among the elders.

As mentioned earlier, Mike was renowned as the most astute wolf within the heavenly wolf family, second only to the Head himself. His exceptional intellect and strategic prowess set him apart from the rest, further intensifying the astonishment among the elders.

Hence, the audacity of Mike speaking out against the elder sparked curiosity among the onlookers. Given his reputation for intelligence, they wondered what cunning plan or hidden motive might be behind his unexpected challenge.

Nonetheless, Mike, being a close friend of Shin and having a deep understanding of his circumstances, made his decision after careful contemplation. 

'Master Shin has come to ask for help.'

'If Shin causes any trouble due to the elders' behavior towards him, it could lead to a worse outcome for him...'

'Me on the other hand, if I were to…'

As Mike observed Shin growing increasingly impatient and on the verge of erupting in anger, a cascade of thoughts rushed through his mind. 

'If I don't intervene now,' he pondered, 'the consequences could be far more severe.' The weight of the decision pressed upon him, intensifying his resolve to take action and defuse the volatile situation.

"Seriously, Mike? Is this how you choose to treat your elders?" Krone's voice dripped with a mix of anger and disbelief as he confronted Mike. 

His face revealed a hint of frustration, unaware of the profound effect his words had on Shin. The ignorance of Shin's reaction further fueled Krone's growing irritation, escalating the tension in the room.

Mike's intervention abruptly shattered the barrage of words directed at Shin, rendering them meaningless in an instant. The flow of the conversation came to an abrupt halt, creating a jarring silence that allowed Shin to snap out of his anger-induced haze. 

The weight of the room shifted, as all eyes turned to Mike, who had effectively disrupted the confrontational atmosphere and given Shin a much-needed moment of respite.

Elder Krone seethed with anger as his plans were thwarted by Mike's intervention. He refused to let go of his grudge against Mike, determined to confront him directly.

"Mike, for daring to raise your voice in defense of an outsider, you shall be sentenced to three years of exile," declared Elder Krone, but his proclamation was immediately challenged by Mike's master, Elder Lei.

"Shut your mouth Krone," a commanding voice echoed through the chamber as an elder from the High Order rose to his feet, exerting a powerful presence that compelled Krone to bow his head, overwhelmed by the pressure.

Unyielding, Krone summoned his own aura, fortifying his stance against the immense pressure, refusing to bow under the weight of authority.

"M-Master Lei, please accept my sincerest apologies for my insolence. I was unaware of your presence! Please forgive me," Krone uttered with utmost humility, lowering his head to a nearly ninety-degree angle.

Lei, upon hearing this, found himself at a loss for words. He understood the potential consequences of continuing the confrontation, as it would only serve to solidify his reputation as a senior figure who bullies his juniors. 

The weight of public perception hung heavily in the air, and Lei knew that preserving his reputation was crucial for maintaining his authority within the High Order. Lei, known for prioritizing his own reputation above all else, was willing to abandon his disciple if it meant preserving his pristine image. 

He would not allow even a hint of tarnish to besmirch his standing within the order. 

Casting aside his disciple in this critical moment was a decision he made without hesitation, fully aware of the consequences it would have on their relationship.

But there was one thing Lei couldn't bear to witness - the mocking of Mike. For Mike was not just his disciple; he was his cherished son, someone he had mentored and cared for deeply. 

"I-it's fine."

"No, Master Lei, it is far from fine," Krone retorted, his voice dripping with both arrogance and malice. His smirk gave way to a sinister smile as he locked eyes with Lei, reveling in the discomfort he was causing.
