...

"Hmm, this outfit looks good."

Jace Reiser stood in his bedroom, admiring himself in the mirror.

He was wearing a pristine white suit with a bright red bow tie.

A maid was helping him adjust his attire.

After changing, he picked up a comb from the dresser and neatly combed his hair.

Taking a deep breath, he appeared quite spirited.

Today, he had to attend negotiations involving over a dozen family businesses.

As the heir to the Reiser family, many important family matters had already been entrusted to Jace to handle.

He walked out of the room, and several beautiful maids with an air of nobility bowed to him.

"Young Master Jace, the carriage is ready."

"Young Master Jace, here is today's schedule."

"Young Master Jace..."

Jace responded to each of them, taking the schedule and reading it as he walked.

Just as he stepped out of the main door, suddenly, a violent tremor shook the ground.

Jace froze in place and asked the servants around him, "What... what's happening? An earthquake?"

The servants were even more confused, and even the knight guards donned their equipment and came to Jace's side, becoming alert.

At that moment, they witnessed an incredibly bizarre and shocking sight.

A giant bear-man, as large as a titan, was walking towards the Reiser family mansion, holding several knights in full armor as if they were toys.

Compared to the bear-man, those knights seemed like mere playthings.

Anyone who tried to block his path was casually tossed aside.

No one could stop his advance as he barged straight into the courtyard.

The knights trembled as they looked at the giant before them.

But he simply walked into the estate and threw the knights he was holding onto the ground.

Those knights lay on the ground, already unconscious.

Then, his gaze fixed firmly on Jace Reiser.

Being stared at by this gaze was like being marked as prey by some terrifying beast.

Jace stood dumbfounded, his mind racing frantically.

He tried to recall when he might have offended such a creature.

Soon, the giant bear-man put one hand behind his back.

From behind, he picked up a human who seemed many times smaller than him.

This human's body also looked quite robust.

But compared to the giant bear-man, he seemed as tiny as a chick.

The man was dangling in the air, also unconscious.

The bear-man swung him violently, and the man was thrown into the air, flying over many knights and servants, landing right in front of Jace.

Even the ground cracked in several places where he landed.

Jace stepped back in fright, then lowered his head to see the man's face clearly.

In an instant, a wave of dizziness washed over him, making Jace feel incredulous.

"Sin... Sindy!?"

As one of his family's enforcers, Jace of course knew who Sindy was.

Or rather, there were few nobles who didn't know this person.

The Reiser family had extremely deep pockets, naturally employing many strong individuals.

And Sindy was one of them.

As an adventurer, Sindy already had some fame.

When Sindy joined the Reiser family, he became a newly promoted fourth-tier warrior.

At that time, the Reiser family had heavily promoted his news.

After all, it was rare for a fourth-tier to actively align with a family, so naturally, they wanted to publicize a fourth-tier warrior like Sindy to show off the Reiser family's prestige.

And now, their family's fourth-tier warrior had been beaten to such a state?

Thinking of this, Jace's whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Because the capital was very safe, the Reiser main family hadn't assigned too many strong individuals to protect Jace.

However, even if they had, they probably wouldn't be a match for the terrifying bear-man standing before them.

That's right, Jace quickly recognized it.

Because his family was involved in the Demi-human slave trade.

And the muscular giant before him was clearly a bear-man, a race extremely rare even among Demi-humans.

Bear-men had extremely long lifespans and were born with powerful physiques, making their bodies impervious to blades and incredibly strong.

The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Moreover, bear-men were extremely ferocious.

Even the teams sent out to capture Demi-humans would try to avoid confronting a bear-man in the wild if possible.

If they encountered a bear-man, even a dozen warriors of the same level working together would struggle to subdue it.

To deal with the bear-man before them, it might even require dispatching an imperial army!

Although bear-men were priceless, the fact that Jace could become the heir of the Reiser family meant he couldn't be as brainless as his already deceased younger brother.

This single bear-man could bury everyone present here.

At this moment, Jace was very puzzled.

How could a bear-man appear in the capital?

But the current situation left no time for him to think further.

Because at this moment, the bear-man before him seemed to fly into a rage.

He roared, dragging his tank-like body, and began to rampage through the mansion.

Some knights had no time to react and dodge, and would be sent flying more than ten meters by the extremely high-speed impact, falling to the ground and immediately losing consciousness.

Wherever he went, even the surrounding buildings would collapse like dominoes.

This terrifying bear-man rampaged through the Reiser family mansion, yet no one could step forward to stop him.

The maids all huddled together, hiding in a corner of the garden.

In this huge luxurious mansion, it was filled with frightened screams and painful wails.

As if he had played enough, the bear-man stood still.

Suddenly, a dangerous aura, like a fierce winter wind, continuously surged towards Jace.

Jace looked at the bear-man, and the terrifying bear-man also looked at him.

The moment their eyes met, Jace felt a murderous intent pressing down on him.

A cold feeling slowly crept up from his spine to his brain.

He looked at the giant bear-man, his face pale, unable to take his gaze off him.

The bear-man began to walk towards him step by step.

One step, two steps.

Watching the bear-man slowly approach him, Jace's legs froze in place, his limbs unable to move.

No, he needed to save himself, he needed to save himself!

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Jace hurriedly shouted:

"Stop him! Quickly stop him!"

Following Jace's order, there were always some knights who didn't fear death appearing in front of Jace, trying to block the bear-man's steps.

But their effect was merely to slow the bear-man's pace a little.

He didn't even bother with the weapon-wielding knights around him, allowing sword blades and spears to stab at his body.

The sword blades were chipped, the spear tips bent.

His body was like an iron wall of steel, incredibly hard.

It made countless knights feel despair.

But, in this brief moment, Jace suddenly ran back into the house.

Soon, he burst through the mansion doors again, holding an extremely large weapon in his hands.

It looked like a huge cannon, with a deep, dark muzzle.

The silver-white barrel flashed with strange red patterns, converging on the gems embedded within it.

The muzzle was carved with extremely complex runes, just a glance would make one feel its extraordinary power.

Jace struggled to lift the giant cannon, aiming it at the bear-man before him.

As if confidence had regained its peak in his mind, his smile became very arrogant.

"Haha, aren't you very aggressive? Come on then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the muzzle began to flash with light, gathering extremely dense magical power.

Violent winds began to flow, rotating into the muzzle.

That incomparable suction seemed to even distort the surrounding air.

A stream of azure magical power gathered in the barrel, gradually brightening.

While the magic cannon was still charging, the bear-man suddenly stood still.

As if regaining his senses, he stood motionless, his expression unchanged, allowing Jace to continue charging.

Seeing the bear-man so steady, Jace felt something was amiss.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be released.

He let out a loud roar, as if to boost his own courage.

"You damned bear-man!"

"Go to hell!!!"

As his words fell, an extremely intense light burst forth from the muzzle.

Dense magical power continuously poured out, transforming into a beam of magical energy, as if to completely engulf the bear-man before him.

But Helnersen only moved his body, taking up a stance.

He stepped back with one foot, forming a bow stance.

He placed both hands at his waist and took a deep breath.

His chest gradually swelled, as if an energy was bursting forth from his chest.

[Martial Arts Stance - Defense]

He placed one hand at the forefront, and the surrounding natural energy seemed to follow his breath, slowly gathering.

In an instant, a green barrier slowly rose from the ground, enveloping Helnersen's huge body.

Finally, the violent blue light shot from the magic cannon, along with that incredibly thick barrier, completely engulfed Helnersen.

Only a faint green could be seen between that blue light, like a lonely boat in a vast ocean, resisting that terrifying impact.

The ground kicked up high dust, swirling in the sky.

That beam of magical energy, dispersed by the barrier, spread out in all directions.

Finally, as if the energy had been completely detonated, a white light suddenly burst forth, engulfing everything.

The surrounding buildings turned to dust in an instant.

The knights lying on the ground could only watch as that huge energy explosion spread out, helplessly watching as their bodies were gradually engulfed.

Until their consciousness faded away.

As the magical power slowly dissipated, the magic cannon gradually entered a cooling state, with white smoke rising from its muzzle.

Jace weakly lowered it, letting it crash to the ground.

He looked at the wisps of smoke before him, his expression incredibly excited.

"Is this... the new weapon developed by the family?"

The magic cannon in his hand was a new energy weapon developed by the family.

Using elven nature magic as power, it gathered strong energy in the muzzle to burst out in an instant.

It was also his first time using it, and he didn't expect its power to be so terrifying.

Although the consequences were very serious.

Those dead knights, and the mansion turned to dust, all of these would require him to find a way to explain.

But life is about living in the moment!

He looked at this weapon with satisfaction, a sense of exhilaration rising in his heart.

Money, status, and women...

This, this is what's truly romantic for a man!

"Hmm, indeed not bad."

"Much better than that little handgun from before."

Suddenly, a calm voice sounded by Jace's ear.

Jace's body suddenly trembled, a sense of crisis immediately rushing to his brain.

Before Jace could turn his head, a hand patted his shoulder.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his body, and Jace twisted his stiff neck, turning his head in fear.

His gaze met the eyes of that familiar person.

Those eyes seemed like millennia-old cold ice from the extreme north, set in the eyes, making Jace feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The powerful chill made Jace's heart freeze, and even the muscles all over his body began to twitch.

"Capturing elves, and sending your family's enforcer to my territory, attempting to kill my people."

"Jace, didn't I tell you before."

"Stay away from my people?"
