Sudden Duel

At once, the atmosphere turned awkward and silent. Things had taken a drastic turn so suddenly that Count Hannes didn't even have time to interfere.

He knew that Emory was not in a good state of mind ever since his son disappeared, but he didn't expect the man to display such behavior towards children.

Not to mention, these kids represented the Clover Academy. Wasn't disrespecting them the same as disrespecting the academy?

The Count looked at Adam who was coldly staring at Emory. Then, he looked at Lisa, who had an indifferent expression on her face. It seemed that she didn't intend to interfere. And finally, the Count's gaze landed on Edward who was showing clear hostility.

Damn it! Did things really have to turn out like this?! He screamed inwardly. When he was about to step forward to diffuse the situation, he saw Emory walk toward Adam.
