"Kill you?" Helian Zheng repeated, suddenly stopping short. "Why would I dirty my hands?"
"Gentlemen." Helian Zheng turned from the old man. "As the Shunyi King appointed by the Son of Heaven, I depose Kulcha Patriarch of Golden Lion and strip him of his Irgi name. On the pain of death, he will never set foot again in King's Court. Let those willing to take in homeless strays… feel free."
The silence that followed was soon broken by Kulcha's miserable howl: "No! No! You can't! You cannot! I am Patriarch Irgi, you have no right to take my title…"
"Now I am Patriarch!" Helian Zheng turned and roared, his purple eye deep and deathly cold. "There is no kindness for traitors! From today onwards, the Irgi Family will never have two masters!"
Kulcha screamed with fury and pain, unseating his blade and rushing forward only to be intercepted by Hotega's powerful kick. The old man flew several meters, collapsing in an unstaring pile.
