"That's truly a pity," Alexander said with a slight smile.
Ares looked at Alexander, his face showing disgust.
He was the Crown Prince of the Nord royal family, a man of such exalted status.
What right did Alexander have to speak to him in such a manner?
Initially, Ares didn't want to stoop to Alexander's level as it would demean his own status.
But the smile on Alexander's face and his fearless demeanor slowly ignited a fire of anger within him.
He knew that Alexander was Jace's friend. But that alone was not enough to justify Alexander's arrogance.
Lake City was just one of many partners of the Nord royal family. Even if Leon himself were present, Ares would not be intimidated.
"Mr. Alexander..." Lucy stood at the forefront of the crowd, her face pale as she saw Alexander and Ares confront each other.
She was well aware of how powerful Ares's background was.
