Punish the Wicked, Reclaim My Throne - Episode 5

In a crowded courtyard the Host tests a new Bone-Piercing Art and kills an Acquired Realm master, sending Toby flying with a single punch. The kill immediately registers: the Host gains two levels, plus Attack and Defense boosts, and the Phantom Steps ability. Witnesses cry murder and demand on-the-spot execution, and guards move in. General Yeats arrives for reinforcements and abruptly halts the sentence, declaring, "This man... belongs to me now." His claim stops the execution and leaves the killer's fate—and Yeats' purpose—unresolved.
