The Masquerade Party [2]

In the end, Hanson's dagger was unable to endure, breaking in half. Just when Sia was about to make her final strike, someone stole the sword hanging by a security guard's waist.

Immediately afterwards single streak of light shot through the air and cut in between Hanson and Sia. Adrian had used a security guard's sword to block Sia's Flame Sword.

"Who are you? Back off before I cut you down."

Adrian didn't budge even at Sia's solemn warning.

He wanted to become a Hero to protect people. His firm conviction couldn't be shaken so easily.

"I refuse."

Sia narrowed her eyes at Adrian, surprised by his boldness. She could sense the determination radiating from him, a conviction that matched her own.

"Stand down, this your last warning," Sia commanded, her voice laced with authority.
