The thunderous crash drew every eye in the place!
Seeing an unknown face, confusion rippled through the crowd.
"Mason Raymond!"
Klein Johansson's explosive roar rolled toward me, packed with deadly qi!
The sound carried lethal Inner Strength, aimed straight at my core!
I raised my hand, turning his qi wave to dust.
"Vance Johansson, we meet at last," I said, my voice ice-cold.
Vance Johansson's eyes went narrow. Before he could speak, Klein Johansson waved him off. "Easy now. We're aristocrats. We keep our cool."
Vance Johansson gave a sharp nod, shooting me a frozen look but staying quiet.
"That's Mason Raymond?"
"Word is he's been gunning for Mr. Johansson for days. Even took out Jerry Sean."
"Looks like they're settling it today. Mason Raymond's here to wreck the party."
"Guy looks plain enough, but he's taking on both the Sean and Johansson clans."
"All over the Sean girl, they say."
Whispers buzzed through the crowd.
