Musta had already noticed Saxon looking thoughtful and Brando wearing a strange expression.
Afraid that Huang Ji would sway even more people, he felt an overwhelming urge to kill him.
"Carmen! This man refuses to see reason. Now is your chance to prove yourself. Kill him, and the Sword-Keeper position will still be yours!" Musta said.
In an instant, Carmen spread his hands. Clouds of iron sand and blades danced around him, orbiting like an asteroid belt.
Lorna went pale with panic. In the past, she would never have interfered with her grandfather's decisions.
At home, her grandfather was the absolute ruler. No one could defy him. So when he told her to meet the Sword-Bearer candidates, she obediently complied instead of resisting like Veronica.

After everything that had happened today, Lorna suddenly realized she could no longer bear to let Huang Ji die. Perhaps he was the most extraordinary person in the world.
Clinging to Musta, Lorna shook her head desperately. "Grandpa, please don't! Spare him! He saved my life!"
"Plenty of people have saved your life! Children should stay out of adult conversations!" Musta shoved Lorna away and roared, "Carmen, what are you waiting for?"
Carmen hesitated. After all, Lorna was Musta's favorite granddaughter. He looked at the two of them and held off for the moment.
Lorna pleaded desperately, "Grandpa, I've never begged you like this before. Please let him go. If he dies, I'll die too."
Musta flew into a rage. Huang Ji was the greatest threat right now. He had exposed the very thing Musta felt guilty about. If he kept talking, the situation would turn ugly.
