My words of intimidation were met with sneers and laughter, rippling through the city like a wave.
People mocked me openly, their voices dripping with derision, as if I'd just said the most ridiculous thing imaginable. My King's Aura had been canceled out by theirs, and now, emboldened, they reveled in their insults.
Pathetic...
I clenched my fists, a flicker of darkness spreading through my thoughts. This laughter will cost them their lives. I promise. I don't like playing games.
"So, Lee Gaon, huh?" Lee Min-Jae finally broke the mockery with his sharp voice. Adjusting his glasses, which were perpetually slipping down his nose, he continued, "Are you that notorious cheater who shook the entire Korean gaming industry?"
His words hung in the air, their weight undeniable.
There was no point in hiding my name anymore. These people were careful, meticulous, and had clearly scanned me without hesitation.
