Steven's expression was grim.
Want to make William pay with his life?
He knew Julian, one of the vice-presidents of the Emerald Lion Guild, and an elite mid-level Soulmancer. Indeed, in the current Soulmancer world, Julian was considered top-notch.
But it all depends on who you're up against.
Steven, also a mid-level Soulmancer, revered William after guessing that he had annihilated thousands of "Demi-Gods" overnight.
And now, Julian was demanding William's life as a price?
Wasn't that akin to courting death?
Steven was also frustrated. He had warned Victor not to provoke William for Victor's own good.
Although Victor was somewhat at fault, Steven didn't want him to die over such trivial matters at William's hands.
Having only lost a leg, Victor was already lucky.
Steven couldn't even begin to imagine the consequences if William were truly provoked.
