At Rose's wedding tensions explode when Alvin charges at Grant, declaring he has awakened Dragon's Fury and vowing to kill him despite Grant being a Third-Stage Warrior. Family and guests plead—an uncle urges calm while the Nelson family head frets that he must protect his daughter or lose face. Onlookers mock the Nelsons as third-rate. Simultaneously Quill is scolded over the Yale family's sacrifices and faces divorce threats; his mother is told to stop crying. Alvin then warns, 'If you dare stop me today, I'll kill you too,' leaving the ceremony and everyone's safety unresolved.
