"Who said your wife and child are here?" Before Glades Horne could reply, Marcel Horne, the second young master of the Horne Family, who had a military background and was particularly sensitive to Noah Reyes's origins, stepped forward with a cold and stern face. He stood face to face with Noah Reyes, black eyes meeting black eyes, and the tension thickened palpably.
Of all the young Horne masters, Marcel was the genuinely indifferent one. Apart from the warmth he reserved exclusively for his wife, Ruby Bluen, he was cool towards everyone else.
With his military upbringing, Marcel's demeanor was upright and stern. His robust figure matched Noah Reyes's, and a flash in his deep eyes even suggested he wouldn't mind dispensing immediate justice on Noah Reyes right then and there.
Noah Reyes embodied coldness, prestige, and ruthless cruelty. Standing opposite Marcel, they presented a stark contrast—one of righteousness against one of evil, inherently oppositional.
