When one of the bodyguards came into the living room to report, he subtly gestured to me. He whispered that Caleb was hurt, prompting me to make an excuse to leave Debra behind and pursue him myself.
At the moment, I found myself observing the pitiful state of Caleb.
His once-white shirt was now soaked in red with blood. I gave a cold sneer and said to the bodyguards, Kill him!
But their response was not as immediate as before. They hesitated, sharing looks of uncertainty, some even showing fear.
My frustration grew deeper. At that moment, the captain of the bodyguards approached and whispered, This man is the Alpha from the Thorn Edge Pack. If we kill him, I fear the Thorn Edge Pack will seek revenge against our clan.
My expression chilled, and I remained silent.
The captain asked carefully, The Thorn Edge Pack is very powerful. The situation is already complicated. Do we really want to provoke them?

As the captain continued to resist, openly questioning my commands, I stared at him sternly, my voice as cold as ice. What is this? Have you stopped following my lead?
Sorry, I did not mean to defy! the captain quickly apologized.
I scoffed, saying nothing more. It was clear, however, that he knew exactly what I expected of him.
Then, the captain commanded his men, Execute this scoundrel who has been harassing our maids!
Upon hearing this, Caleb glared at me furiously.
I was satisfied with how things were unfolding. Today would be the end of Calebs life.
Andrews POV:
After I gave the order, my bodyguards charged towards Caleb.
But Calebs ability was something I hadnt bargained for. Despite his injuries, he dispatched each bodyguard with a lethal grace, as if they were paper tigers.
Body after body fell at his feet, each defeated in mere seconds.
Calebs scornful eyebrow raise seemed to punctuate his effortless dominance.
He looked weakened, but his tone dripped with arrogance. Andrew, is that all youve got? Youre weaker than I imagined!
Seeing my men sprawled at his feet and his arrogant smirk ignited a burning rage within me.
