The occupants of the house immediately lunged towards him. Shields sprang out around him from all sides, closing in with practiced coordination.

"On the left corner! Left!" he heard, and soon he was herded by the shields in a direction. He was taken aback by the unexpected force and was temporarily pushed back.

Someone even had the audacity to jab a spear through the narrow gaps between shields, prodding at his wounds!

Then another, and another.

He screamed.

"GRRR!!! YOU BASTARDS!"

He immediately used his skill, not really caring that he was already about to run out after so long.

[Repulse Wave]

The air around him shook for a second, and the people trying to box him were also shocked.

Fortunately, they were all weaklings, and a few punches and kicks after that sent all of them smack into the walls and struggling to stand up again.

He tutted, spitting on them. Now that he saw them, he felt even more indignant that they caused him trouble in the first place!

However, these weaklings ended up standing again. Obviously, they all had decent equipment. It should be broken after a hit from him, but the fact that they could still stand irked him to no end!

"CORNER HIM! CORNER HIM!"

"CONTAIN HIM UNTIL THE GUARDS ARRIVE!"

Inside the house was Tim, along with a few of his roommates, some strangers, and finally his ex-girlfriend Hana and his estranged sister Tilda.

Tilda was accidentally hit by the force by accident, while Hana was unscathed but otherwise okay.

In fact, the two women had been kicked out months ago, but they begged to hide there when the war started. Tim hated both of them, but they were still family at some point, and he couldn't let them die helplessly in the end.

Speaking of Hana and Tilda, they caused quite a scandal a while back. It was so big that everyone in the territory was informed, making them the topic of aghast and mockery for weeks after that.

The issue was so big primarily because it was related to one of the beloved Elders, Ansel.

A few months ago, the two women hatched a plan to seduce Ansel, in an attempt to get better lives in Alterra. Even if he didn't leave his wife, Hana could be his mistress whom he also took care of.

Hana would never have thought she would become a person like this, but she liked Ansel too much. The more she remembered his interaction with the woman, the heavier her body felt, as if she were surrounded by acid.

Tilda said that men were most likely to cheat when their wives were pregnant. So, while his wife was very pregnant, the two of them tried to get him aphrodisiac (sold by some merchants who rented stores in the marketplace).

Hana invited him for her birthday and she promised there'd be others with them, old friends, and it so happened that there were indeed two classmates who had found Alterra, so she named them.

For a while, it seemed to go well: He accepted the invitation and really appeared at the party, and even drank the laced juice.

Sad for them, Ansel was a loyal man, and he left her alone after exposing her to the classmates, who spread out the scandal.

The two women both got a short prison sentence (in the manual prison) with a case of attempted violation of Marital Sanctity.

(These were new laws and part of the New Family Law, in addition to actual adultery cases, which were also strong cases and had even harsher punishments.)

In any case, during her time in prison, Hana had clearly seen how Tilda simply wanted to use her for her own gain. Inside, she would slap her and pull her hair, calling her useless for being unable to seduce a man.

The amount of abuse she received inside, especially from Tilda, caused most of her emotional scars.
