"How dare you—HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT ME!" The villain screamed, his voice cracked with fury.
"I was going to teach these beautiful children what it means to be an adult! But no… now I'll have to kill you first."
Ethan didn't speak.
He didn't flinch.

His gaze was void of empathy—just pure resolve. The man before him wasn't a challenge. He was a problem that needed to be erased.
Without fanfare, Ethan whispered a single word under his breath:
"{Flow}."
In that instant, the air changed.
The gauntlet hummed louder. His aura surged outward like a crashing tide.
The execution had begun.
