Old Gary assures Administrator I that the undead remnants have been eradicated, easing suspicions as the group enters the vast, empty Shadow Market tailored for giants. Noticing the absence of Half-Titan and Stone Giant hosts, Loris questions the poor treatment of guests, prompting a mocking response. Half-Titan general Bisos and his warriors suddenly descend, deriding the visitors as feeble and launching a brutal assault on Loris, who retaliates but is forced back. An unexpected ally charges forward, clashing with Bisos and sending the giant reeling in shock.

Right across from Bisos stood a towering figure who completely ignored him, heading directly to Reece's position and inquiring with worry, “Are you okay?”

The radiant glow from the enormous magical street lamps illuminated a resolute visage with dark hair and piercing eyes, its contours sharp and defined—without question, it was Leo Ray himself.

“I’m fine, thanks to Your Majesty of the Humans for your help.”

Reece shook his head, expressing his gratitude toward Leo Ray.

The leader from the rainforest was well aware that without Leo Ray's timely intervention, he would have sustained severe injuries this time around, and worse yet, it would have fueled the enemy's overbearing pride.

Witnessing Leo Ray shove back the mountain-like giant leader with sheer force, the powerhouses on their side felt a surge of excitement and motivation, causing their spirits to soar dramatically.

Besides the thrill coursing through them, the experts from the two alliances directed bewildered and perplexed glances toward Leo Ray.

The strength of Your Majesty of the Humans appeared to hover just beyond Tier 6, yet he managed to send the Tier 6 Peak Bisos flying with a single strike. This feat was utterly astonishing!

It was crucial to remember that not even a Tier 6 Peak powerhouse from the same lineage could outmatch a Half-Titan in raw power!

Sensing the confused stares from the group, Leo Ray stayed utterly serene and unflappable.

The secret behind his effortless repulsion of the foe was actually straightforward.

In the instant of clashing with the enemy, Sheila swiftly boosted him to Half-step Tier 7.

Having battled together so frequently, he and Sheila shared flawless coordination, and through their mental link, pulling this off was effortless—even while she remained in her [Divine Stone] state.

As he sent the adversary flying, he signaled Sheila to withdraw the enhancement, keeping the whole process under a second, which made it nearly impossible for bystanders to detect.

Undeniably, armed with Half-step Tier 7 power, he could bridge the tier divide against even a formidable opponent, so being hurled back was entirely expected.

“You are the Emperor of the Human Race?”

Bisos massaged his faintly tingling massive fist, his deep-set eyes filled with doubt and hesitation.

During that brief contact with Leo Ray, he had sensed an overwhelming, unstoppable surge crashing toward him, overwhelming all in its path.

However, right after getting repelled, that immense power vanished instantly, leaving him baffled at how Leo Ray, with his strength barely exceeding Tier 6, had pulled it off.

“Your status is not equal to mine, you do not have the qualification to speak to me.”

In response to the giant leader's show of intimidation, Leo Ray offered no courtesy whatsoever, stating evenly, “Lead the way.”

“A mere Emperor of the Human Race, dare to be so arrogant!”

Hearing Leo Ray dismiss him entirely, Bisos, already humiliated, erupted in fury. He emitted a guttural growl, coiling his robust giant leg as he geared up to charge at Leo Ray once more.

Yet on this occasion, before he could launch himself, a dazzling purple magical glow flickered before him, and suddenly Leo Ray was at his rear, landing a precise kick to the back of his knee.

Bang!

Accompanied by the muffled crack of an Energy Barrier shattering, Bisos' colossal frame buckled to one knee on the ground, unable to rise immediately.

Meanwhile, Leo Ray had already returned to his spot ahead, remarking coolly, “Since you, as a general, don’t understand etiquette, then I might as well educate you well for your master.”

“You guy, too much bullying!”

Observing Leo Ray compel Bisos to kneel by force, be it Bisos himself in a blaze of rage and shame, or the escorting Half-Titan warriors, stunned as they were, all yearned to surge ahead—while our own powerhouses encircled Leo Ray, poised for action.

At that moment, Administrator I could no longer remain idle, summoning a squad of market guards to block the giants.

As he intervened with Bisos, Administrator I couldn't resist shooting a look back at Leo Ray, his gaze brimming with astonishment and frustration.

He had anticipated Leo Ray and his companions facing humiliation, but instead, Leo Ray not only stood fearless but inflicted a major setback on Bisos—something way outside his predictions.

After all, this location served as territory for Half-Titans and Stone Giants, and as the proverb goes, ‘beat the dog and look at the owner.’ Even if Leo Ray managed to dominate Bisos, shouldn't he consider the mightier Half-Titan forces backing him?

Nevertheless, Leo Ray paid them no heed, stripping the Half-Titans of all dignity.

Administrator I fully grasped that Leo Ray's group's power clearly surpassed Bisos and his followers, and with Leo Ray apparently wielding some hidden technique to amplify his abilities, if conflict erupted, Bisos' crew would surely be at a severe disadvantage—making it tough for him to justify things to the Half-Titans afterward.

“No wonder, after all, this Emperor of the Human Race has only just entered the Outer Region, it seems he remains quite inexperienced; after showing off, there will be consequences soon. You have to know, Half-Titans are all notorious for holding grudges.”

Even as he inwardly undervalued Leo Ray slightly, Administrator I, while calming Bisos, managed a smile toward him. “Your Majesty of the Humans, the Shadow Market is not an arena, please restrain your anger.”

“Is that so? Since the Shadow Market isn’t an arena, why didn’t the Administrator stop them when they first attacked?”

Leo Ray spared no mercy for Administrator I either, replying with composure.
