The rest of the Zhao family stared in stunned silence, only now realizing the true meaning of the saying that a Grandmaster must not be insulted. Even a single disparaging remark made in a crowd could be easily detected. One didn't need to be close; even from dozens of meters away, one could lose their life. With hundreds of people present, his ability to pinpoint exactly who had cursed him was more terrifying than any machine. Before, at the dinner table, they had felt Zhao Tiezhu was nothing special, much like everyone else. Now, they understood that being a Grandmaster was not just an empty title. He could stand his ground and speak his mind even in the presence of Great Grandmasters. That was the power of authority!
Compared to the astonishment of the Zhao family, the others were gripped by terror and fury. The Grandmasters from the other families, in particular, looked at Zhao Tiezhu as if they wanted to kill him. Having been blocked from their initial assault, they could no longer restrain themselves and surged toward him. He was too arrogant; they had to make a stand.
"You brat, you are far too arrogant. You’re just a Grandmaster—there are plenty of us here!"
