[Charles POV]
A week has passed since my date with Rose. Constance, Courtney, and Reina were the only three I needed to speak with. I had tried to speak with the three of them, but they all wanted to lock themselves off.
Currently, I'm on Earth checking Clyde's progress. He was one of the defensive chanisms that I had in mind.
His talent was surprising. He had reached the top and was on the fourth rank, surpassing Gram.
A month ago, Constance had surpassed Gram in ranking. I wonder how confident he is now that Clyde has also done so. I wouldn't be surprised if it shattered.
"Charles..."
Clyde had a wary expression after seeing . Our first two etings weren't on friendly terms, and all of them resulted in Clyde being hard.
"What do you want?"
"I was interested to see how far you have progressed."
Clyde wasn't hard to find when you had him marked. He had an irritated face when he heard what I said. He knew I wasn't here just to talk.
"You have grown strong, but I would like for you to grow further."
"Why?"
"Didn't I tell you? I found you interesting. Besides, it would be a waste to not train you when you have talent."
I didn't tell him I would leave this world for a long ti. That was none of his business. I'm only using him to do the job for .
"You seem like you're in deep thought. Do you need power at the mont?"
Hearing my earlier words, Clyde's focus had disappeared. I didn't know about his situation, but he seed in a hurry.
"One of my friends has been kidnapped. Please help her!"
"..."
So that was why he was in a rush. He said, "why" because the timing of my being here made it worse for him.
"What does she look like? I could help with this compass of mine."
The shady shop had co in clutch when I wanted to find Constance. I could use this compass of mine to find Clyde's friend.
Clyde's eyes were on my compass. If I was an asshole, I could ss with him now. But I needed him for his power, nothing else.
"I will give you anything! Please let borrow it."
"Very well. Break this promise of yours, and sothing terrible will happen."
Instead of signing a geass, my curse could be done the sa way. It was helpful since verbal promises would work if anyone put enough emotion into them.
"Here, I will lend it to you. Fix the ss yourself."
Clyde could beat up anyone in this world without any problem. Throwing the compass, Clyde caught it without much trouble. He was nervous to see the compass fall.
"Thanks, I owe you."
He ran to where the compass was pointing without paying attention to . I had stealthily followed him since he wasn't moving that fast.
We moved to the island port with Clyde's friend here. I had sensed so suspicious people within the warehouse, and his friends should be there. It didn't take long before Clyde broke into the warehouse.
A large kicking sound could be heard with Clyde's kick. He had forced his way into breaking anything that ca his way.
I wonder if he had the money to cover all the costs. Even though I was rich, I wouldn't cover for him.
"ALYA!!!" Clyde scread his friend's na once he found her.
It was the pink-haired girl who was captured. I had noticed that she had feelings for this man, and now that he would save her, I wondered if their relationship would bloom.
"Clyde!!!" Like a maiden in love, the pink-haired girl cried for her crush.
"Who are you?" Ruining their reunion, one of the kidnappers spoke in a harsh tone. I was surprised that Clyde wasn't known because of his rank. I bet the kidnappers would regret picking a fight with the fourth rank.
While Clyde's ranking was disclosed, he should be known to the world. An upcoming talent sowhere near my talent would be known to the public.
Clyde glared at the kidnapper and didn't speak. He didn't need to say anything to the kidnappers.
Without waiting, Clyde used his sword and slashed it at the kidnapper. There were about six of them, and I doubt any of them were stronger than Clyde.
"!!!"
Clyde's slash wasn't lethal. He had intended to keep the kidnappers alive, only intending to cause pain. Blood splattered, and an arm was cut off.
"Gahh!!!" With an arm cut off, one of the n moaned in pain. The other five were scared shitless to see a friend lose a limb.
"Wait!!!" That girl owes us! We just want our money!" Wanting a ti-out, one of the n shouted his thoughts.
Was that pink-haired girl in debt? She didn't seem like a person to do sothing like this. You can't judge a person by their looks.
"Alya, is it true?" If that was true, Clyde felt terrible for cutting a man's arm. I would have done the sa when the six n here looked like criminals.
"They tricked my family into debt!" The pink-haired girl cried out in anger. Clyde's sympathy toward the man's arm had disappeared upon hearing those words.
Tricking a family into debt wasn't uncommon when you could easily profit from doing this. There were risks involved, but I can see this happening.
"Shit..." The one who spoke earlier didn't have any words to follow up. At least they prolonged their lives for a few seconds.
"Then you can die." This made Clyde even angrier for wasting his ti. Without letting these people speak anymore, their heads roll to the floor.
"Clyde! Thank you! I was so scared!"
"..."
I didn't bother listening to their conversation. I would only feel sick listening to it. When the ti was right, I would see Clyde again and beat him up. I left the port and checked on Nene and Claire.
