Kyle was a man from a high lineage within Ivanov's city; his life had been smooth sailing ever since he was born and had been identified as crucial family talent, eventually leading to his successful recruitnt and rise as a Peak Class Three Squad Captain.
For this very sa reason, few would dare to offend him, even more so after learning of his most entertaining hobbies to capture beautiful won, a habit trained only after joining the infamous Rose Picker Battalion.
Marius felt the tension in the air and saw the looks of disgust on so of the won's faces when they stared at Kyle's back. He had already inferred the necessary information needed for the man that arrogantly sat before him and his family. Still, as if he didn't care, he rely smirked and awaited him to speak.
Kyle took note of Marius's indifference, but he didn't take any offense to it as he was a proud man. One of his most fun hobbies was to break down a foe ntally before finishing him by letting him live a life no worse than a living hell. He would then take his wife and children and transform their lives into utter chaos.
When he thought of the following scenes, even more so as he could see the Ria's fine temperant at Marius's side, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of excitent in his heart. Not daring to waste another mont, he cald himself and began to explain the trouble that had befallen Marius.
"While I would like to tell you that everything will be alright, I'm sorry to say that your son has made the biggest mistake of his entire life, pal. Do you see this symbol on my armor, the pattern of the rose? It signifies the connection to a battle of the dynasty's army. While my subordinate might have only been a Class One Squad Captain, he was directly under my charge as I myself am a Class Three Squad Captain. The army has many rules, but the most important ones are never to have anyone offend its dignity, by showing force to those of battalion, even if it were an ordinary soldier, you have done nothing but brought a disaster upon yourself."
Marius made a curious look as he spoke in a calm tone, "Oh, if it's like that, then it would seem my son has brought quite the danger upon us, but it's odd; why are you telling this? Shouldn't your job as an army elite be to enforce punishnt on us infringers?"
The audience shook their heads at Marius's words, wondering if he lost his mind; he should have known what Kyle was trying to lead the conversation towards.
'This handso mister, what's he relying on?' Liola thought as she stared at Marius intently, noticing his composure, even the middle-aged man from the other table had a pensive look.
Kyle didn't seem to mind Marius's directness; he smirked and spoke in reply, "You're quite direct, that's good; I also like wrapping things up quickly. Of course, you are correct in your statent as that's how it should have been, but I'm feeling a tad bit generous today, rather than taking you to an execution platform. I want to offer you and your family a way out. The price will be simple, so long as your wife becos my partner and your and son chop of a single limb, I will be generous enough to no longer press any charges against you in the military na. However, if you refuse to do so, then I'll have to ask you to contact your backer right now, for they are the only way you'll be able to escape with so charges."
When Kyle said those words, his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness despite his calm manner as he thought inwardly, 'Hmph! Since you're so calm, I want to take a look at what choice you'll make; even if you have a hidden backer, there's nothing you can do to get off unscratched completely! Hehe I have plenty of ways to get around most third parties.'
Many others also understood Kyle's aning, and they looked at the scene with cold eyes; they knew that Marius and the family's fate now depended on his following words. The room so silent as many began to sweat down their cheeks, but as for the person in question. He rely remained calm as he smiled and looked at Kyle.
Kyle frowned as he saw his look, but Marius soon after opened his mouth and spoke, "I've heard rumors about toads that lust after swan at, but this is my first ti seeing one up close. Even more so, one with such poor backbone that it can only use silly and indirect ans. Listen closely, although we're not from around these parts, not just anyone can provoke my family and live to see the tale, so heed my words carefully, know when to back down."
Kyle narrowed his eyes at this and spoke, "Hmm, then, should I take this a sign that you're willing to provoke the army?"
Marius chuckled at this, he was about to say sothing, but as if he recalled sothing, a sly smile ca across his face causing Ria to give him a suspicious look.
He then spoke again, "Ah, now that you ntion it, I do recall being escorted here by a mighty family. Our relationship was also quite deep; if you are looking for answers regarding this matter, then you might want to take it up with them, the Wilborn's."
When many heard this, their mouths went wide as a commotion soon after started in the inn.
"What? The Wilborn's, they don't an one of the core rchant families who even got a major hold on a business such as Centuarian Coach Firm?"
"No wonder there so confident, they've got so connections, but they should already know, it wouldn't be enough for soone like Kyle Rayman."
Many began to chatter at the current revelation as no one expected this result, even Kyle himself, who had a pensive look as he thought that the matter had turned a little bit more complex.
