"Brother, stop."
As Ryan swiveled to identify the speaker, he retorted, "Are you worried that I might kill your prey, Dustin?"
It was Dustin who intervened, preventing Ryan from executing Arlo. Behind Dustin stood Avena, Sophia, Julian, and Inara was conspicuously absent from their mansion.
Dustin implored, " Brother, I want you not to kill Arlo, please..."
Upon hearing Dustin's plea, Ryan nodded in a mocking manner, abruptly flicking his fingers. Leon deciphered the signal.
Leon outstretched his hands and crossed them, while Ryan swiftly assumed a stance as if gripping a bat and promptly altered his sword to the fuller side.
"SWOOSH!"
As Leon tightened his grip, the wall vanished and rapidly disintegrated into a cloud of sand dust.
Arlo began to stagger backward, and Ryan collided with him like a ball meeting a bat. The sheer force propelled Arlo backward to where Remi's body was sprawled, crashing near it.
