One moment everyone saw Dorian smiling weirdly. And the next, he was now holding the neck of one of their Navy Lieutenants.

What?!!

They didn't even see how he managed to teleport himself from one point to another so fast.

Still, their weapons were drawn out the moment Dorian held their comrades' necks.

Only 13 out of the many hundreds had guns.

As Navy officers, they weren't police officers.

So they were generally not allowed to carry pistols while on duty unless they were those like Hazen and Gia Ming.

"Drop him!" Hazen exclaimed.

"I said, drop him now! That's an order!"

Order? You dare to order the Grandmaster around?

"Asshole! Put your weapon down, Haz!" Gia Ming roared.

He felt like smacking this idiot to death. Do you know who you're pointing your weapon at? Inwardly, he thought he should prepare a grave for this guy if the Grandmaster got angry and retaliated.

He knew Dorian wasn't an unreasonable Leeson. But still... His power alone was enough to make anyone cautious.

Everything happens in no more than a second.

Eh?

Hazen's eyes fell on Gia Ming, as well as Old Gia, seeing them calm and approving of the strange boy's behavior.

Hold on... Could it be this guy Lieutenant was a traitor working for the evil scientists?

Hazen lowered his weapon, thinning his lips tightly.

Although he knew his thoughts were 80~90% accurate and true, for f*** sake, man... Can't they just confirm it already?

Who was the enemy? Who were they working against?... And more importantly, why was everyone taking this little boy so seriously? Why was he treated as though he was an emperor walking amongst them?

Augh~

He felt the whole thing was a mystery wrapped in a KitKat bar.

Adjusting himself, he looked to Old Gia solemnly. "I apologize for my rash behavior, sir."

Old Gia ignored him.

"_"...

So do you forgive him or not?

In truth, Old Gia wasn't holding anything against him but was too focused on the elephant in the room.

.

"What's going on?"

"Why does that boy have Lieutenant Klin in a chock?"

"Impossible! Could he be a traitor? How could he be working with those evil scientists? This is Lieutenant Klin we're talking about! He has made so many contributions to the country. So how could he be a traitor?"

"A conspiracy?"

(?Q?)

Several people whispered their thoughts, starting at the strange scene before them.

Some believed it was a setup, while others had doubts about Klin.

With Old Gia standing against him, they were more inclined to believe any verdict from Old Gia.

In short, they thought they had figured out the cause and effect of it all.

But the events that happened next were ones that would lead to many curling up in their beds with red sleepless eyes that would show their fears for several days, weeks, and months to come.

A single strand of hair dangled before Dorian's face, as he lifted the broad-shouldered man several inches high with his little hands.

What a King Kong!

(!0π0)

The scene of such a slender boy lifting the muscle-packed Lieutenant Klin so high made many give Dorian a second look.

From now on, this youngster should call himself Popeye the Sailor Man!

"You!..." Lieutenant Klin struggled for freedom to no avail." What do you think you're doing to a dignified Navy officer? Do you know how much I've sacrificed for this country? Do you know what hardships I've gone through to be here today? So are you trying to reveal? Just because you're a wealthy young master, does it give you the right to trample on my dignity as an officer so much? Injustice! I've suffered so many injustices!"

.

Injustice!

Klin's words made many recall their time with him.

It would be a lie to say his resonating and powerful speech didn't touch a barrier in their hearts.

Yes...

Who were they working hard to protect? The everyday citizens.

In the past, several of them have had issues with people sometimes acting too irrational and shameless, blaming them for one issue or another during missions.

In the end, they also felt Dorian's method was too cruel. Old Gia hadn't made a move. Yet, this young boy was so tyrannical about the whole matter.

Okay...

Suppose Lieutenant Klin was indeed guilty. That's fine. But what if he was innocent?

If that's the case, wouldn't the boy's actions be very insulting?

Bottom line, since Old Gia hadn't given any orders or said anything, who was this boy to rush in and execute justice?

Many now had a bad impression of Dorian. But how was that any of his concern?

.

"You should respect the old and--"

Dorian increased his pressure on the guy's neck.

"Shut up... You're too Noisy."

Cough. Cough. Cough. Cough~

Klin vegan coughing vigorously. But Dorian had no sympathy for him.

Dorian slipped out a sly grin, staring at Klin with interest.

"Here's how it how's... I ask, and you answer... Of course, you can choose to remain silent... But I assure you, I have more than a million ways to skin a cat."

No one knew which words made Klin's eyes react so much. But everyone could see he was supposed by Dorian's words.

This was odd. Why would someone get surprised after being threatened?

Shouldn't you show anger, rage, fear, or nothingness?

Now, Klin was not only surprised, but he even began laughing too.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha... To think it would be a little hairy boy who would find me out!"

(0_0_ [Everyone]

… So he was indeed a traitor?

Even though many initially guessed it. Seeing him admit it after such a powerful speech on loyalty only made them feel he deserved the award for the best actor.

Bravo! Bravo!

This guy should've been a member of their Navy troupe.

At this point, they no longer reprimanded Dorian but commenced him in their hearts. It was just that they thought this was the height of the revelation.

But little did they know that this was just an appetizer before the meal.

.

Yes... Yes... Rage, anger... Klin lived the sweet smile in the air, so much that his breathing became heavier with excitement.

What about being choked? Too naive!

He knew why he was weak now. But after the issue was solved, this little imp wouldn't even have the chance to blink before dying.

~Hooohooohooohoo~

Klin licked his lips as saliva oozed from the corners of his mouth.

Yes... The hearts of these lot were stained and painted with a noble aura Yin and Yan akin to those in the Navy, army, or police forces.

But so what?

For him, dealing with such people was triple but not impossible to do. And the rewards would also be bountiful. He willingly came into the Navy because he could handle it!

The hate of many falling on him, the emotions of the lot overriding again and again.

So tasty...

Ahhh!!!~~

He couldn't hold back anymore.

Dorian released him, and everyone watched as Klin's already unnatural smile stretched past his ears, moving to the back of his head.

It... It was as though he was wearing a human suit.

Then if that's the case, what lay underneath it all?

'I must be dreaming. I must be dreaming.'

Hazen took a step back, convincing himself in his heart to believe in science. But the more he watched, the more his mind collapsed.

Hahahahahahaha~

Klin laughed and twitched, growing 5 times his size while ripping apart his human suit.

"You..."

~Crack.

"Don't."

~Crack. Crack.

"Know who you're dealing with."

~Crack!

Klin had now become a mortifying being that led to a massive pukevill competition.

~Blahhh!!!

Hazen puked the breakfast he ate nearly 2 hours ago.

His eyes averted the creature's sight seeing he couldn't stomach its grotesque looks yet.

Ugly!... It was the most hideous-looking thing he had seen in his life. But apart from disgust, fear was the strongest feeling that overwhelmed him and the rest.

They obeyed their quivering fingers while trying to force their fear-stricken legs to make a move.

"M-M-Monster!!!"

How can a mythical being exist?

It was all a lie! And they bloody well deserved an explanation from science!

Where do they go? What do they do? Who to file a report to?

~Whoosh!

Out of nowhere, they saw 5 other lieutenants make their way toward the monster. And right before their very eyes, these 5 also transformed and merged with Klin.

Dorian stared at the now massive being before him with a pair of rotting cat ears above his head.

Cat demon.

And as they say, cats have 9 lives. But seeing as it merged with 5 others and not 8, it appears it lost 3 of its lives.

Dorian tilted his head lazily, staring at the soaring being before him.

"So they sent you to infiltrate the Navy?... How interesting... In that case, how many at the top are still human?"

Old Gia's face grew grim.

Was the enemy among them all this time?

Dorian waved his hand, and his trusty mace appeared.

"I don't have time for any talks or antics from you. I'll once you one last time… where are the rest?"

"You worthless–"

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Several loud sounds echoed across the hall, causing many to feel wobbly.

Bam!

Time seemed frozen in place as many tried to process what just happened.

Bam!

"How dare you–"

Bam!

"You puny human"

Bam!

"Ahhhh!... Wait! Wait!... I'll talk. I'll talk… ill talk my fist to your–"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

"Monster... Monster… you're a–"

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!
