Nearly twenty people were inside the room, but only one person reacted to Ning Cheng's intent to strike, and that was the man at the third level of Condensed Reality standing on the other side of the young girl. However, although he was the first to react to Ning Cheng's intention to slap the fierce woman, he did not stand up to stop it.
As Ning Cheng slapped the fierce woman, he was already prepared for the Condensed Reality man to stand up and intervene, ready to strike with a punch like a splitting axe the moment he rose, insisting on delivering the slap regardless. To his surprise, the Condensed Reality man did not interfere, which left Ning Cheng somewhat astonished. He then realized that this man must have had a grievance with the fierce woman.
Seeing a passerby daring to strike someone in front of their king, and to hit the king's most favored guard at that, everyone in the room was stunned.
