His fingers pressed into the armrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what if I want to?\" he asked coldly. \"That child ran away and turned the great Draconia Clan into a joke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice grew harsher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A genius abandoning her clan.

You think I forgot that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien’s expression didn’t change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you dare,\" he said evenly, \"then I will stand with God Gym.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darius’s eyes widened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will work with them,\" Sorien continued, \"to destroy you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words landed cleanly. No threat. Just a statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Draconia Clan already has bad rumors,\" Sorien added. \"Internal cruelty. Talent wasted. Bloodline pride over reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darius clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think you can threaten me in my own hall?\" he growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sorien met his gaze without flinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not threatening you,\" he said. \"I’m warning you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God Gym is not a faction you can bully. Their leader is not someone you can scheme against.
