Grand Banquet (8)

"We can talk about this, Cecilia," said Kevin, raising his hands in an attempt to surrender. However, the amusement on his face contradicted his actions, causing Cecilia to grow enraged. Was he playing with her?

With a swift motion, Cecilia's foot approached Kevin's abdomen at terrifying speeds.

"Fuck you, woman," said Kevin, narrowing his eyes. "I was trying to be diplomatic, so that we can solve this issue without risking our factions. It was a rational proposition… but I guess you're too stuck up to accept that."

Kevin extended his arm, directing his palm towards Cecilia's approaching foot. Then, a thin layer of mana surrounded the flat of his palm. 

As Cecilia's foot collided with his palm, sparks flew in all directions due to the impact. However, Kevin didn't waste any time. He cupped his fingers, grabbing Cecilia's foot before slamming her body into the ground.

The ground shattered, and debris flew in all directions.
