Bluecrystal City, Eastern Free Federation
In the Lord's Mansion of Bluecrystal City, tension filled the room as the lord of the city, a stern middle-aged man, glared at his son, Tony, his voice booming with rage.
"So, this is your decision?" the lord demanded.
Tony, the younger man standing before him, was unfazed by his father's fury.
Years ago, he had left Bluecrystal City to explore the world, a decision his father had supported in the hopes that Tony would gain valuable experience.
But now, Tony had returned—not as the carefree son who had left but as a high-ranking member of the Death Legion.
His purpose was to negotiate Bluecrystal City's integration into the Death Legion's growing dominion.
"Father, why are you so stubborn—"
Slap!
The sound of the lord's hand striking Tony's face echoed through the chamber, leaving a red mark on the younger man's cheek.
