"Hey, hey, let's not jump straight to killing, alright? Let's sort this out peacefully," Pyro suggested, seeing the situation escalating.
"You should ask him about that," Grey Orion shrugged. "I just want to kill rlin. After that, I'll go my separate way. I don't need to be the enemy of the 'Ten Seats' or the 'whole world,' but if you intend to stop , I'll simply ignore you."
"I just told you that rlin is an asset to our world, and he would prove—" Morkel was interrupted midway by Grey Orion.
"So what?" Grey Orion sneered. "Just because he's an asset doesn't give him the right to do whatever he wants in this world. He tried to kill twice. I'm going to kill him. It's that simple. Don't shower with your la excuse about him being an asset or whatever."
Morkel frowned and sighed in the end. "Then we have no choice but to kill you."
"Kill ?" Grey Orion sneered. "Go ahead. I'm waiting."
Morkel narrowed his eyes at Grey Orion and commanded, "Kitsuri, kill him!"
"No, Morkel, think it over. He's just a kid, and you know rlin's personality. This is all his fault," Rosaline tried to persuade Morkel once again.
"It doesn't matter," Morkel said with a ruthless expression. "All the events that led to this mont happened because of this kid. He's a bane to this world, and I'm certain killing him will benefit us more than letting rlin die. You have to understand what's at stake. We need rlin in the war against the three races, and if anyone wants to kill him, I can only kill that person."
He then looked at Kitsuri again and said, "Kitsuri, do it."
Kitsuri nodded and stepped forward towards Grey Orion.
"I understand that you feel like we're against you," she said, looking at him. "But it is what it is. Sotis you have to look at the bigger picture to understand certain things.
We, the Ten Seats, have sacrificed many things for the betternt of humanity, so we can't let a kid like you, who doesn't understand what's at stake, make the situation worse for humanity when our hopes are already so low."
"So, you want to kill ?" Grey Orion asked, his expression darkening.
"No, we want you to not kill rlin. If you can just step back and not do it, it will be good for both of us," Kitsuri explained patiently, unlike Morkel.
Grey Orion contemplated her words. He really didn't want to beco enemies with the Celestial Court and the Ten Seats. He understood that their influence was vast, and even if he managed to escape their clutches every ti, his family would still be at risk.
And his family mattered most to him, but he also believed in his big sister's words.
Before coming to the banquet, she had said to him, "Don't worry about us. I passed down a treasure to Father, and with that, no power in this world could harm us. So, whatever happens at the banquet or the tournant, just worry about yourself."
At the ti, he didn't fully grasp the value of those words, but now he felt he should believe in them.
"Tell sothing," Grey Orion looked at Morkel and Kitsuri. "What if rlin tries to kill again? What if, after recovering, he sneaks up on ? Would you stop him then? Would you stop again if I wanted to kill him? Just give an honest answer, and I'll give you mine."
Kitsuri frowned, and even Morkel's expression beca troubled.
Grey Orion waited for their answers, but none of the six seats responded.
"Heh," he gave a hollow laugh, realizing he was naive to think their answers might change his decision.
"I understand now. There's no need to say anything else."
He turned to rlin and said, "Do it."
For a mont, everyone was puzzled about who Grey Orion was speaking to, but soon Rosaline realized.
"No! Stop him!" she shouted, but it was too late.
A hand appeared from behind rlin and passed through his heart, but it didn't crush it—at least not until the hand beca tangible.
Soon, Orion fully erged from his dinsion, revealing himself to the six seats.
"Don't move, or my hand might beco tangible out of fear," he whispered into rlin's ear, sending chills down his spine.
Everyone except Kane and Rosaline was shocked. They hadn't sensed any other presence until Orion revealed himself.
And because Grey Orion had been talking to them the whole ti, they assud the original must have been hiding sowhere far away, beyond their senses.
But they had been careless.
"You must be the original," Morkel said, his voice carrying a gloomy tone.
"Let's see how you protect him now. You can fight the clone to stop him, but can you stop ? Can you?" Orion sneered, his expression ruthless.
He had witnessed the entire drama and understood that not killing rlin would be the stupidest decision he could make. There was a burning hatred in his heart that demanded he kill rlin and anyone associated with him.
"Orion, don't do it," Rosaline tried to persuade him. "We might reach a decision that benefits both of us, so please stop."
"You can't change my mind," Orion shook his head. "I know the real faces of the Ten Seats. They're ugly to the extre."
"Think again," Morkel said. "Do you really want to beco enemies with the Celestial Court, with the Ten Seats, with the entire world? You'll be chased and hunted by people from all over the world, and even your family won't be spared. They'll be killed. You'll be declared a traitor to the human race, and anyone related to you will be killed as well."
Morkel's words were a direct threat.
"Why are you including my family?" Orion yelled in frustration.
But then his hand suddenly beca tangible, causing blood to seep from rlin's mouth.
"Agh!"
A muffled scream was heard before rlin's eyes beca lifeless, and he died.
"Oops!" Orion muttered. "You shouldn't have made angry. Because of that, I lost control over my powers, and he died. Now it's all your fault, Morkel."
