The unexpected attack caught everyone present completely off guard.
Jason's Ice Bullet struck none other than the commerce guild member who had just spoken.
The two of them were practically strangers, leaving almost no one able to react in time. That person hadn't anticipated being attacked suddenly and stood frozen as the Ice Bullet flew towards him.
However, Balazs's strength was evident; even with Jason's sudden assault, he managed to react at the last moment. A Shield of burning fire ignited in mid-air, blocking the Ice Bullet.
"What are you doing?" Balazs questioned Jason, glaring at him. The flames in his hand transformed into a long, thin blade, which he raised and pointed directly at Jason.
The commerce guild members behind Balazs instantly drew their weapons and gathered. Then, seeing Alka frowning, Balazs began to slowly retreat, guarding his own guild members. They remained wary of a sudden attack from Alka and his group.
