As the heavy footsteps drew closer, everyone in the tavern became tense. The pounding of the footsteps reverberated through the silent night, as if foretelling an ominous sign. Hearts raced in anticipation, even the once boisterous crowd fell silent. The air seemed to congeal, creating an atmosphere of unease that hung over everyone like a thick fog, making it hard to breathe.
Finally, the heavy footsteps halted at the tavern's entrance. Breaths seemed to stop, leaving only the sound of racing heartbeats in everyone's ears. Then, the door creaked open, allowing a gust of cold wind and rain to invade the warmth of the tavern, shattering its previous coziness. The drizzling rain outside seemed to foreshadow the impending drama, its icy droplets causing a shiver to run down the skin.
A tremendously powerful giant appeared at the doorway, his massive figure almost filling the entire frame, completely blocking the rain curtain behind him with his enormous shadow. He was draped in a crude raincoat woven from straw, and rainwater dripped along the raincoat, making a crisp sound as it hit the floor. In the shadow of the night and the glow of the lights, the crude straw raincoat looked like rough and intimidating armor. His face bore a stern expression, his eyes filled with murderous intent, giving the impression that he was not a kind-hearted individual.
The moment he stepped into the tavern, everyone could feel a strong and overwhelming force emanating from him, as if even the air itself had frozen. Each of his steps seemed to declare his invincibility, making the floor creak with each footfall, as if proclaiming his dominance and power to everyone.
His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Edric, his eyes filled with a thirst for battle and wildness. He didn't say a word, but his domineering aura and indifferent eyes had already said it all.
giant lowered his head and stepped steadily into the entrance of the tavern. Then he slowly untied the crude straw raincoat from his body and casually threw it on the ground. The sound of the raincoat hitting the ground was particularly harsh in the quiet tavern. His actions attracted everyone's attention, but no one dared to approach. All eyes were focused on the confrontation between him and Edric.
His deep voice slowly spread throughout the entire tavern, "Edric, noble dog." His voice was deep and powerful, as if carrying unquestionable authority, making the air in the entire tavern heavy. As he threatened in a low voice, he slowly approached Edric. Every step he took seemed steady and powerful, exuding dominance and an undeniable presence.
The crowd involuntarily parted, creating a path to Edric. The once lively and cheerful tavern now felt incredibly heavy. This was clearly not the joyful evening they had expected, but rather a confrontation with an uncertain outcome. Many people sensed the seriousness of the situation and began quietly leaving the tavern, unwilling to continue participating in the impending conflict.
Edric felt the pressure, but he remained calm on the surface. He knew that facing such a formidable opponent, any fear or retreat was not allowed. He tightly clenched his fists, ready to confront the impending storm.
The giant walked up to Edric and stopped in front of him. His height was almost twice that of Edric, standing before him like an insurmountable Da Shan. He looked at Edric with a desire for battle, as well as disdain and mockery towards the nobleman. His gaze was sharp, as if trying to pierce through Edric. In the face of his oppression, even the bravest person would feel a hint of fear.
The man who had summoned the strong man hurried to his side and pointed to the two groaning farmers on the ground, saying to the strong man, " Da Shan, it was this Edric who beat them like this." His tone was full of anger and accusation, as if he were telling Da Shan about the nobleman's crime.
Da Shan, the name of the strong man, looked down at the two farmers on the ground, a flash of anger in his eyes. He slowly raised his head, glaring at Edric, his gaze seeming to cut Edric into countless pieces. His voice was low and thunderous, each word seeming to be spat out from between his teeth, full of anger and contempt.
" You, as a noble, are truly useless! The entire Abalar City has been dirtied by you, this garbage noble." Da Shan sneered, his voice echoing in the tavern, each word striking heavily in the hearts of everyone. His words were undoubtedly a contempt and insult to Edric and his family.
As his words fell, Da Shan began to slowly walk towards Edric. His steps were firm, each one causing the floor to vibrate. As he threatened Edric and approached, the overwhelming momentum made the people around involuntarily step back, clearing a path to Edric.
On the way, some obstructing chairs and tables were forcefully pushed aside by Da Shan, causing the wooden furniture to fly through the air and crash into the wall with a loud noise. His intention was clear: to teach Edric a lesson in front of everyone and make him understand the consequences of challenging them.
Edric felt some nervousness as well, but he knew that at this moment, he couldn't back down. He took a deep breath, gazing at the approaching Da Shan, preparing to face the impending storm.
