Theron's countenance grew solemn. Without a word, he reached back and unsheathed his sword of mahogany to the stunned silence of the crowd.
Nathan actually said that he would give the patriarch of the Zuckerberg family a sound defeatI
What shocked the crowd even further was that Theron did not refute it, but instead had pulled out his weapon in response. His intention of demonstrating his full strength against Nathan made the respect he had for his adversary clear.
In an instant, the members of the four Reclusive Families present realized that the brash young challenger was somebody formidable.
Nathan's reputation as God of War alone is sufficient to deter foreign enemies. Today, we can see that it is rightfully earned!
Svend was just beginning to realize how foolhardy of an endeavor it was to conspire against Nathan with members of the four Reclusive Families by organizing a banquet to assassinate him. If it were not for the timely appearance of his patriarch, Svend shuddered to think how swiftly they would have succumbed to
Nathan's murderous rage.
Theron rumbled, “If you do not display your full strength against me, I will take it as a sign of great disrespect. So please, select your weapon and come at me with everything you got.”
Nathan nodded. A weapon appeared from the depths of his sleeve and landed in his hand.
It was a military dagger of the finest craftsmanship.
The dagger was none other than Snowfall, awarded by the former president of the country when Nathan was promoted to Commander-In-Chief of the North Army and was named the God of War of Eurasia.
Hidden in Nathan's sleeve, the dagger only appeared when Nathan encountered an armed and powerful enemy.
The weapon was named for the description of how it appeared to his enemies. Survivors of the ordeal claimed to witness a flash of white light from his sleeve like a glimpse at their fate. Few were deemed skilled enough by Nathan to have seen its glint while fewer still had seen the actual blade.
The imagery of the horrors that a whip of Nathan's cuff preceded sent a shiver down anybody who dared dwell on the matter.
The appearance of Nathan's dagger, which was not easily revealed, demonstrated the respect he had for the patriarch of the Zuckerberg family as an equal worthy of his full exertion.
Nathan beckoned. “Come!”
Theron stood a little straighter, knowing that this time he had encountered an enemy unlike any other. “Good. Now pay attention,” he said in a gravelly voice before raising his sword above his head.
