Even though the sun was beaming over Ruby Palace from high up in the sky, Jacob and the others were still sleeping. After all, none of them got a good rest last night.
Rumble…
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard. Soon, the large stone in front of Ruby Palace was shattered into dust. That caused the illusion spell protecting Ruby Palace to vanish instantly.
That noise woke Jacob and the others up. Natalia promptly brought her people to the entrance. Jacob followed too. When they arrived, they saw Matthias standing at the entrance with people from the Reed family while glaring at the Ruby Palace.
Murderous intent exploded from Matthias' body. Everyone shook a little when they sensed that murderous intent. By that point, Natalia's body hadn't fully recovered yet.
When she saw Matthias at her doorstep with his people, her expression darkened.
Upon regaining her composure, she asked, "Why have you come to the Ruby Palace so aggressively, Mr. Reed?"
