They’ve been humiliated many times and have been waiting for you to return from your training,\" Emma said with a hopeful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clearly wanted to see just how strong Victor had become.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t particularly interested in any competition—he simply wanted more power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are you all doing?

So what if you’re talented? In this world, you’re still weak. What if you lose it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor turned and saw Ryan Russell, who had appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was only at the Sovereign Realm now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone his age—and as the clan’s young master—that was rather slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Emma, as a maid, had surpassed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victor wasn’t surprised Ryan was the first to oppose him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still resentment—after all, his Merit Law had been forcibly taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even now, there had been no replacement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Ryan, there’s no need for you to comment on my matters,\" Victor said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unless... you’re looking to get beaten.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one expected the first thing he would say to his cousin to be a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he have the strength to back it up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryan himself was the most shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?
