A display of power and severity without a doubt!
The arbiters before Kieran had shown their hostility. Whether they were incited by someone or they did it by their own will, judging from the situation where the arbiters were clamped down, for now, the former would be more likely.
Who incited them though?
The answer was obvious.
Someone within the association who was once a hostile against the Griffin Church and didn't want to see one of the Griffins again.
Kieran didn't know much regarding the fight between the Griffin Church and the others within the association in the past and if it was possible, he wouldn't want to be involved. But it didn't mean he would hold back against hostile enemies.
Regardless of what the arbiter's goal was, hostility was hostility.
Huuu!
The wicked aura was blowing towards Kieran like a gale but when it was a few steps away from reaching Kieran, the aura stopped as if it hit an invisible wall.
