And this revenge had to be avenged.
Seth Vernal's aura surged like a tidal wave, but River remained calm, folding his hands behind his back as he continued speaking.
"Elder Seth, don't think Ethan is a soft persimmon you can casually pinch. Even without the Blood Tavern behind him, you would not be his match." River's tone was light, yet every word carried weight.
"Nine years ago, when a mysterious female Supreme invaded Skyreach Territory and a devastating war erupted… Ethan, with only the seventh-turn Nirvana realm, killed two Inferior Supremes—one late stage, one early stage."
A slight pause.
"And he wields multiple artifacts. Even an Intermediate Supreme can't claim certainty in front of him."
A sharp breath sucked from the Vernal entourage.
River went on, "But afterward, he vanished. Now nine years have passed. His strength must have grown even further. I dare say—your current forces cannot harm him in the slightest."
"WHAT?!"
