Kaizen glanced at Cephal, realizing the intensity of his anger. The man's presence felt like a storm about to explode, and Kaizen knew he would need all of his diplomatic skills to deal with the situation.
"Cephal," Kaizen began, trying to keep his voice calm, "I understand that you're angry, and you're right to feel that way. But we have to work together if we want to save this world."
Cephal narrowed his eyes, anger still burning in his eyes. "Work together? After what I've been through? Do you really think it's that easy?"
Odin, watching the exchange, remained calm, but his imposing presence dominated the hall. He intervened, his deep voice cutting through the tension in the air. "Cephal, what happened was necessary for you to understand the gravity of the situation. Now, more than ever, we need your strength and intelligence."
