"Ah..."

"If you kill us, Lionar kingdom will surely take revenge...let us go."

"Mister Parada, I will vote for whoever you want, just release me, please..."

"Ahh... please forgive us..."

First, a rank two law appeared with dangerous intent after that they discovered that there is a powerful curse on them then many surprises attacked them one after the other, things that already made the guests in a turbulent mental state. Now their lives were put in the hands of one of the most dangerous people on the continent. All of this made the important guests, who never set foot on the battlefield, break completely and start screaming hysterically.

On the other side, Rin didn't care about their screams at all. He just kept holding the Spectrum Wires as he looked at the guests' frightened expressions with an indifferent expression.

"This is dangerous. We have to stop this?" Loe asked while looking at the hundreds of guests who had been trapped by hundreds of transparent wires, trying hard to break free to no avail.

(It seems that this boy is one of the members of that squad that appeared in the city recently. I have heard that they are ruthless. He would surely kill them all without hesitation if Fray ordered him to) Lisa thought with a calm expression as she looked at the indifferent look the boy was carrying. For some reason, that look assured Lisa that this boy is far more dangerous than he seems.

In the past few weeks, many rumors appeared about the Assassination Squad that targets monster communities in Iskar city. Although their activities were very secretive, the Ronal family was able to gather some information about them. According to this information, the members of this organization are young and have integrated assassination skills, making them dangerous and ruthless. And according to what Lisa saw today, this description matches this child. But this information is so confidential that Lisa couldn't divulge it to Luke and the others. She just said, "This boy is too dangerous. We have to free the guests from his hands."

"He has held more than two-thirds of the guests. It will be difficult to free them all by ourselves," Aslan said, then turned her eyes to the angel who was still floating in his place without moving and said, "But why is the angel so quiet?"

"Yes, that's strange. Why hasn't the law stopped this boy yet?" Loe said with a questioning expression. That boy is now holding the majority of the audience hostage, and even if he did not kill them all, he would surely use them to tamper with the vote, which would make the trial unfair. But despite all this, the angel still floated in his place without showing any intention to interfere in the matter.

"Luke, what do you think?... ha! Where did he go?" Lisa asked, realizing that Luke had disappeared.

(As expected, the goal of this angel in this trial is not to find the culprit...) Fray thought. Fray had a certain idea of the real purpose of this angel from this trial, and now he has confirmed his idea. Hence, the moment Fray was about to open his mouth to talk to the guests, suddenly a character emerged from the crowd.

"Boy, please release the hostages," Luke said in a calm voice, standing just a few steps away from Rin.

"Who is this?"

"It looks familiar. Does any of you know who he is?"

"Oh! I knew it was Luke, the vice leader of the Shield Union organization."

"I heard many people call him the greatest genius of the younger generation. From what I heard, he had already reached the Seventh kingdom even though he was still in his twenties."

"If this is true, he will certainly be able to save us, right?"

"Please save us, Mr.

 Luke."

"We'll do our best to get you out of here safely. Just stay calm," Luke yelled loudly after hearing the guests' screams. Then, he turned towards Rin and said, "Let them go, and let's talk peacefully."

"..." Rin, who still had the same indifferent expression, looked at Luke without even bothering to answer. After all, Rin was just executing orders, and there would be no point in answering Luke.

Luke, already in a stormy mood from all these events, became angry when he received no answer. He said impatiently, gritting his teeth, "Then don't blame me for being rude..."

As Luke's anger reached its peak, he vanished from his original spot, a blur of motion as he propelled himself towards Rin with astonishing speed. It was as if he had become a whirlwind of determination, his resolve fueling his movements.

Rin, with his keen instincts and honed martial arts skills, could sense the impending danger. He recognized that Luke's approach was unlike anything he had encountered before. The air crackled with intensity as Luke closed the distance in an instant, his presence imposing and fierce.

In that split second, Rin's mind raced, assessing the situation with lightning speed. He understood the magnitude of Luke's attack and realized that evading it would be a near-impossible feat. The realization washed over him, causing a flicker of doubt to momentarily cloud his indifferent expression.

But just as Luke was about to make contact, a resounding crash reverberated through the area. The guests, startled by the sudden impact, turned their attention towards the source of the noise. Two figures were forcefully propelled away from each other, their bodies colliding with tremendous force.

Luke, pushed back by an unseen force, stumbled several steps backward, his eyes wide with surprise and disbelief. Opposite him stood a tall figure, a towering presence with long, flowing black hair. The newcomer possessed a muscular physique that exuded strength and a countenance that remained cold and composed, despite the chaos unfolding.

"Fray!..." Luke, who was suddenly pushed back, muttered in a low voice as he looked at a tall, muscular figure with long black hair and a cold expression.

As silence descended upon the tense atmosphere, the guests found themselves caught between relief and apprehension. They now stood witness to an unforeseen clash of powers, unsure of what the outcome would bring. The trial, already fraught with danger and intrigue, had taken an unexpected turn, further entwining their fates with these enigmatic individuals.

Luke is, in fact, a smart character and usually depends on careful planning to carry out his objectives, but he has a big weakness that almost caused his death more than once in the novel. He becomes too hasty when he feels angry.
