San's yell, infused with Cosmic Energy was so loud that it could be heard miles away from the Mansion and Horst Manor just happened to be in the range.
So were other locations.
San glared at Hal and hastened to stand from the ground that had now made his robes dusty. He turned to face the other Plebeian heads and found that Bale and Tod were trying their best not to laugh.
If there was one thing that could make the situation feel even more annoying to the Fidwud Family head, it was the fact that it was an avenue for his rivals to rejoice.
Even so of the Plebeian n were laughing. The only ones who showcased true indignation were those of the Fidwud family ho. Evian was glaring at Hal so hard, it could burn a hole through him.
San in his anger that seed to be boiling stronger by the minute turned towards the bastard that had caused him to face this embarrassing situation and found that while his expression was the sa, the ladies with him did not hide their sniggers and laughter.
"You son of a bitch!" He snarled in anger and the pressure of his Cultivation blasted out at full force.
Hal just blinked at his display,
"Oh? You can talk to now, can't you? Isn't this nice?" He said as though he and San were just having a nice conversation.
"I'll kill you!" San yelled and took a step in direction of the gate. The guards in front of him parted as soon as he did this and let his path to the Mansion be free.
Even as underlings, they could tell that it could be dangerous for San to engage Hal at the mont, but none of them was ready to risk getting on his bad side to tell him.
The other Plebeian heads knew Bale and Tod were enjoying the situation too much to interfere so they turned to the Runemasters, Baret and Ian but soon realized they were staring at the Mansion with a perplexed expression and occasionally released Runes that swirled the Mansion before fading.
Hal smiled at San's threat,
"That's good. I like that you have zeal but I still find it confusing, so can you tell why are you here with so many n?"
With those words, San suddenly blinked and it seed as though he returned to his senses because he reined in his pressure and stepped back towards the Palanquin which he ascended again.
"Yes. That is right. I am so ashad. How could I have let my personal feelings hinder from ting out justice for our fallen comrades?" He said.
Bale and Tod snorted,
"Bastard" They said in unison.
San continued, this ti his voice was consciously infused with Cosmic Energy and bood loud,
"Hal Payne, you have been found guilty of killing the Holgers and today, we the Plebeian alliance will te out swift justice. Which is for you to suffer the Complete decimation of you and those close to you."
Hal took a deep breath and infused his own voice with Cosmic Energy as well and when it bood, to the surprise of all those present, San included, the voice produced was just as loud as the Fidwud Family head,
"I did no such thing" He said.
San shook his head and regained his composure,
"Well, I- no, WE Say you did" he said with a gesture to the Plebeians with him.
Hal sighed,
"Do you have any proof?" He asked in the sa booming voice that let many in the City have a live feed of the events.
Bale infused his voice and it bood as well,
"We don't need proof. As long as we know it's you, we will have justice" He said with a smirk.
'These guys are Parrots. They are just repeating what soone has already said' Hal thought with a shake of his head, referring to their Master who had said sothing similar,
"Well then. The way I see it, you prefer to go on a hunch and suspicion not because you really want justice for your fellow comrades but because you are threatened by .
This is the perfect situation in which you can be rid of " Hal said.
Bale narrowed his eyes,
"Why would we feel threatened by you?" He said with a dark chuckle and Hal shrugged,
"Who knows? But seeing as no one brings this Many n to a possible negotiation, I can confidently say that none of you can be reasoned with.
So enough with the chitchat. Since you don't need proof to justify your attacks then I also don't need a justification to defend myself, my ho and those closest to " He said.
He and the ladies smiled at the Plebeian n and took just one step further back into the Mansion compound.
linda grinned and spoke with her voice loud and booming as it was infused with Cosmic Energy,
"Feel free to attack. We will entertain you"
San looked at her standing by Hal's side and had to admit that he had not paid her a lot of attention as he had been focused on Hal since.
What was with those Golden eyes?!
She did not always have them, did she?
Marla sneered,
"Step forward and die" as her voice was not infused with Cosmic energy, it was not loud enough to boom like the others but that was just as well,
She was only addressing those Plebeians anyway.
"Hahahaha. That's bold. You've even got the Genius of Salmon City by your side. Good, now I can end the future of the Horsts as well" San said with his voice in its normal volu.
If Ford had no idea that his daughter was here, it was best to keep it that way.
The mont San ntioned Alia and threatened her pointedly, Hal's eyes flashed and he chuckled with Dark humor.
But said nothing.
Alia narrowed her eyes but was silent as well.
In fact, all of them were now silent and unresponsive to the intruders.
It was clear at that mont to the Plebeians that their targets had no interest in conversing anymore so San turned to Bale and Ian who still seed to be observing the Mansion.
"So, should we be worried" He asked.
At that ti, Hal and the ladies had stepped even further back and wait out their assailants.
Baret turned to San,
"The whole place lacks any signature of Astral energy. It is completely clean of it"
San narrowed his eyes,
"Could it be that its rank is so high that you can't sense it?" He asked.
Ian continued to gaze at the Mansion with his Eagle-eyed stare but he answered with a shake of his head,
"The higher its rank, the easier it would be to sense it. This is perplexing, it is as though Rune Mastering has never been practiced in this ho at all"
'That's not perplexing. That's a fucking flag. Sothing is fishy here' San thought and looked at Hal and the ladies as they all stood in place.
Waiting...
Patiently...
With those smug looks...
"Evian, select capable and have them head inside" San ordered.
The other Family heads frowned as the n he was ordering to be sent were not all in the Fidwud family force but as San was the designated Family head, they let it be.
Even after being ordered, there was a lot of caution in the steps of the n as they took careful almost shuffling steps towards the Mansion compound.
As they stepped closer, Hal's grin beca wider and it intimidated them.
And then one of them had the thought that this must all be a bluff. Their targets were only attempting to intimidate them.
There could not be anything about the Mansion that could possibly be hidden from such experienced Rune Masters like Baret and Ian.
The mont this thought ca to the Mind of Mr. Bravado (as we will now call him), he strode confidently into the Compound and grinned as he had done so safely.
The others took courage in Mr. Bravado's actions and followed after him.
They were ecstatic as it had been done so successfully. There were about a hundred n sent ahead of the thousand Man force and the Majority of them were at the peak stage of the Cosmic Pearl realm.
Even though there were Cultivators at the Cosmic Armant Realm prepared for this assault, the Heads were still a little hopeful that they would not have to do anything.
Back to Mr. Bravado and his squad of brave n. The mont they were inside the Mansion compound in full and surveyed Hal and the hot babes by his sides, an Array Do surrounded the Mansion in the entirety.
The Array (while see-through) was composed of swimming Runes of such complexity that Baret and Ian were stunned.
They had expected this to happen but the fact that they had been unable to sense it and even now it seed as though this Do was the only source of Astral energy, was very worrying.
anwhile,
Hal and the Ladies grinned as he snapped his fingers and...
*Boommmm*
Rune circles appeared at the feet of all the n, blasting them away in different directions. Only a few of them had been able to attempt protection with Cosmic Energy.
Those that had survived the blast looked upon their dead comrades and their visage beca filled with anger until Hal, linda and Rita attacked.
At that point, they were only interested in survival as they attempted to block the strikes and life-ending punches to their body but there was nothing they could do.
Against three cultivators at the Cosmic Armant Realm, whether or not they unleashed their Cosmic Armant, there was nothing they could do.
So of them tried to escape the courtyard but the Do blocked both entry and exit.
It was over in a few minutes.
Marla looked sideways at Alia and was surprised to see her smiling.
Once all those in the Bravado squad were dead, Hal and the ladies returned to where they had been before while cleaning their bloodied hands.
As the Array had been see-through, the massacre had been on the display for those on the outside and they clenched their fists in anger but also a little bit of fear.
Then the Array faded and Hal smiled,
Looking very much like a very Handso Devil,
"Who's next?"
