Chapter 329 Humbling The Fang Clan
The smoldering ruins of the Chengdu compound cast eerie shadows against the night sky as Silas hovered silently above the city.
Below him, the rescued civilians were safely on their way to secured shelters, and the Fang Clan's operations in the region lay in disarray. The arena was reduced to rubble, its screams of cruelty replaced by an unsettling quiet. But Silas's task wasn't over yet—not by a long shot.
In the distance, Silas could see the red glow of approaching fire. It wasn't natural—it was fury. Rai Fang, the patriarch of the Fang Clan, was coming, and he wasn't coming alone.

{Master, incoming forces detected,} Luna's calm voice filled Silas's helmet.
{Approximately fifty Phenomenals, all identified as Fang Clan members. Rai Fang is leading them. His power signature indicates elevated thermal energy far beyond previous readings.}
Silas smiled. He had expected retaliation, but the speed of the response was remarkable. Rai Fang wasn't holding back—he was bringing the full might of his clan to reclaim what Silas had taken.
"How long before they reach the city?" Silas asked, his voice calm despite the rising tension.
{Three minutes,} Luna replied.
{Their advance is creating significant environmental damage. The surrounding area is experiencing rising temperatures, and vegetation is already igniting.}
Silas cursed under his breath. The Fang Clan wasn't just marching—they were scorching everything in their path. Their hatred for normals burned brighter than ever, and they intended to make an example of Chengdu.
"Luna, are the civilians clear?" Silas asked.
{Yes, Master. All transports are outside the danger zone.}
"Good," Silas said, his voice hardening. "I'll handle this."

As the first of the Fang Clan's forces approached the city, Silas descended to the ground, positioning himself in the open streets.
The Diamirite Suit shimmered in the glow of the approaching firestorm, its sleek surface reflecting the flickering flames.
From the haze of heat and ash, Rai Fang emerged. The patriarch was an imposing figure, his towering frame surrounded by a swirling aura of fire.
His crimson robes billowed in the heat, and his eyes burned with a fury that seemed to pierce the darkness.
Behind him, dozens of Phenomenals spread out, their abilities igniting the air with bursts of flame and searing light.
The ground cracked beneath their feet, the heat warping the streets as they advanced.
"You dare to strike at my family," Rai Fang growled, his voice a deep rumble that echoed across the burning city.
"You dare to defy the Fang Clan?"
Silas stepped forward, his voice amplified by the suit.
"Your family has brought nothing but suffering to the innocent. I'll tear down everything you've built if it means ending your tyranny."
Rai Fang laughed, a sound that sent waves of heat rippling through the air.
"You think you're a hero? You're nothing but a fool playing with powers you don't understand. You've made an enemy of the Fang Clan, and now you'll burn."
Rai Fang raised his arms, and the air around him ignited. A swirling tornado of fire erupted from his body, hurtling toward Silas. The heat was so intense that nearby buildings caught fire instantly, their windows shattering from the pressure.
Silas didn't flinch. He raised one hand, and with a thought, the air around him shifted. A powerful gust of wind spiraled outward, clashing with the fiery tornado and dispersing it into harmless embers. The sheer force of the wind knocked several of the advancing Phenomenals off their feet.
"Is that all?" Silas asked, his voice calm and cutting.
The Fang Clan forces roared in unison, their powers flaring as they charged at Silas. Streams of fire, molten projectiles, and waves of heat surged toward him from all sides. Silas deactivated the suit, letting it recede into its nanoparticle form, and stepped forward, his body glowing faintly with energy.
He moved with overwhelming speed and precision. His movements were a blur of motions that the Fang Clan Phenomenals couldn't follow.
He weaved through their attacks effortlessly, his movements fluid and calculated. With each step, he unleashed his superpower, redirecting their attacks back toward them.
One Phenomenal hurled a massive fireball at Silas, only to watch in horror as it stopped mid-air and reversed direction, engulfing him in flames.
Another conjured a stream of molten lava, but Silas froze it in an instant, turning it into solid rock and sending it crashing into its creator.
As the battle raged, Silas began to manipulate the environment itself. He raised his hand, and the air around the battlefield grew dense, suffocating the flames and extinguishing the fire-based attacks.
The Fang Clan's powers, so reliant on heat and combustion, faltered under the weight of Silas's control.
"You think your fire makes you invincible," Silas said, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
"But fire is nothing without air to feed it."
With a flick of his wrist, Silas created a vacuum field around a group of attackers, cutting off their oxygen supply. Their flames sputtered out, and they fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

Rai Fang watched in disbelief as his forces crumbled. His fiery aura flared brighter, and with a roar, he charged at Silas, his fists ablaze. Silas didn't move, standing calmly as Rai Fang closed the distance.
When Rai Fang struck, Silas caught his fist with one hand. The impact sent a shockwave rippling through the air, but Silas remained unmoved. His grip tightened, and Rai Fang's fiery aura flickered under the pressure.
"You've built your empire on fear and cruelty," Silas said, his voice cold. "But they won't save you now."
With a burst of energy, Silas hurled Rai Fang across the battlefield. The patriarch slammed into the ground, creating a crater as the flames around him dimmed. Silas approached slowly, his steps measured and deliberate.
"Is this what you wanted?" Silas asked, his voice cutting through the silence.
"To prove your strength? To show the world how powerful the Fang Clan is?"
Rai Fang struggled to his feet, his body trembling. "You... you're nothing but a freak! You don't understand what it means to lead, to command respect!"
Silas's expression darkened. "Respect isn't commanded through fear. It's earned through integrity and strength. You've earned nothing but hatred and despair."

Silas raised his hand, and the ground beneath Rai Fang began to tremble. The once-proud patriarch fell to his knees, his fiery aura extinguished completely. Around him, the remaining Fang Clan Phenomenals dropped their weapons, their will to fight shattered.
"Spare me," Rai Fang gasped, his voice weak. "Please... I'll... I'll submit."
Silas stared down at him, his eyes cold and unyielding. "You'll submit because you have no choice. But understand this: if you ever raise your hand against normals or anyone else again, I won't stop at humiliating you. I'll erase everything your clan stands for, starting with what you value the most."

Rai Fang lowered his head, his pride broken. Behind him, his remaining forces followed suit, falling to their knees in submission.

As Silas turned to leave, his voice carried one final warning. "Let this be a lesson to anyone who thinks they can abuse their power. The world doesn't belong to you—it belongs to everyone. If you forget that, I'll remind you."
He activated his suit, the nanoparticles forming around him once more. With a burst of energy, he ascended into the sky, leaving the broken remnants of the Fang Clan behind.
Below, Rai Fang and his forces remained kneeling, their fiery pride reduced to ashes.
