Silence.
An unnatural, suffocating silence spread across the battlefield the moment Thoren's words left his lips.
Everyone stood frozen, their minds struggling to process what they had just heard.
In the midst of such a deadly confrontation when blood stained the ground and screams still echoed faintly in the air, he had casually called the Ghost Scream Bounty Hunter boss stupid.
No fear.
No hesitation.
No restraint.
"What did you just say?" the boss asked slowly, his voice low and dripping with menace.
His eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging as fury surged uncontrollably through his veins.
The humiliation burned hotter than any wound.
In front of so many witnesses, guild members, bounty hunters, and awakeners alike.
He had been openly mocked.
Rage consumed him.
With a sharp metallic sound, he unsheathed his twin daggers and launched himself forward. Killing intent poured from his body like a raging storm.
