The one who spoke was obviously Ryan.
"Uncle Wang," Ryan continued calmly, his voice carrying across the entire square, "they came for me. This is a private matter. Let me handle it myself."
His words echoed through Wushuang Square.
Every candidate on the ring heard him clearly. Even the distant audience seats fell silent before erupting into renewed uproar.
"What? These people are here for Li Wei?"
"A Upper Exalt and a dozen Exalts… for a so-called waste? Are you kidding me?"
"This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. An Upper Exalt for Li Wei? I don't believe it."
"He must be trying to draw attention to himself. Private matter? With a Upper Exalt? Who would believe that?"
"To deal with Li Wei, a single warrior would be enough. Sending a Upper Exalt is absurd."
Disbelief filled the air, drowning out reason.
