At the humans' entrance, the gazes of the Apexes narrowed, and the tension in the hall rose to unimaginable heights.
"Human" was a word that broadly described the current focus in the hall. Aside from the Ravensteins, each of the tier-one family leaders from the human domain had also attended the banquet, along with the leaders of the other races.
They walked side by side into the hall, each one dressed as exquisitely as the last. For their age, their auras were prominent, geniuses in their own right.
If the circumstances had been different, they would have been the focus of this banquet, the ones people would try their best to form a connection with.
Yet, they were unfortunate enough to be born in the same generation as monsters.
To everyone in the hall, in this generation of world-ending geniuses, there was a monster among monsters.
And that monster currently led the group that had just entered.
Atticus Ravenstein.
