Yet Antigonus had never been to the Wudang Sect and did not have any grievances with Graham, and thus he smiled politely. "How may I help you?"
Graham sneered coldly. "There's nothing I need your help with. I just wanted to let you know that Circe's your Senior Sister, since you seem to have forgotten it. How dare you order her around as you please?"
Oh, so that was why.
Antigonus smiled. "That's between me and Senior Sister Circe, and none of your business."
"What if I make it my business?" Graham stepped forward, radiating a dominant aura.
Antigonus did not respond, smiling wordlessly.
The atmosphere grew heavy all at once.
Circe hurried forward at the sight, tugging at Graham lightly. "Don't stoop to his level, Graham." Beka was a little arrogant for his own good, but had not really done anything that crossed the line.
And Graham was a guest, after all. If conflict were to break out, neither party would benefit from it.
"Circe."
Sensing her distress, Graham turned around to pat Circe on the back of her hand. "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. Just trying to teach this guy a lesson."
As he spoke, he turned to glower at Antigonus.
Just then, many of the Lange pupils had heard the noise and rushed over to take a look at what was going on. Their jaws dropped at the sight before them, their expressions growing unreadable.
"What's going on?"
"It seems like Beka asked Senior Sister Circe to fetch him tea, and Graham couldn't stand it…"
"Ha, this guy's pretty full of himself ever since he became the Master's own pupil. How dare he disrespect Senior Sister Circe like this, I'm going to see how Graham takes care of him."
The pupils had already disliked Antigonus heavily for a long time, and crowded around in anticipation of his downfall.
Seeing the crowd grow only made Graham puff up with gusto as he called out to Antigonus, "You know, I'd be less full of myself if I were you. Why don't we have a little duel?"
Graham was intent on helping Circe teach him a lesson, and spoke in the most provoking tone he could muster.
