The golden beam of mana exploded in the branch family's housing complex but didn't completely destroy everything.
When Cecil had spread his Mana Sense out into the entire valley, he had found more of the invading Alternians around the Silvaria Branch family's complex and was immediately infuriated.
In his anger, he had struck out with a Flash Cannon. Cecil made sure to control his output and struck only the area that had the invaders present. He wasn't that irrational to think that everyone from the branch family were involved in whatever scheme that was being pulled from behind the main family's back.
As for the Silvaria branch members who were inside the blast zone...well, Cecil didn't care about them. From his Mana Sense, he already knew that the invaders weren't there to take anyone
