Kelsy was given two choices. One was to leave and not deal with this atmosphere. The other was to stay and feel out of place.
"Master, I was tasked to watch over you." Choosing her job, Kelsy decided to stay. She made the right choice. If she left now and then, her job would be put into question, and she would be replaced, and I wouldn't even make this decision. The two of us could sense Kelsy's discomfort, but neither of us would try to chase her away.
Since Kelsy decided to stay, Cecilia brought us to the main room. This public building was reserved only for nobles, and many were there.
Were nobles common in this city? Maybe I need to shave so of them off. So of them looked like total idiots, while others looked competent.
"Cecilia. Who's the new guy?" Unlike Sheldon, this person was friendlier. It was a man who looked like he liked to do bodybuilding.
"This is Charles. Soone who moved into this city as for the big guy, this is Sean, a good friend of mine."
I don't know what Cecilia's ga was by not introducing our title, but since Sean himself looked like soone anyone would get along with, I put my hand out, asking Sean for a handshake.
Knowing what I wanted, he shook my hand with power. If I were "Nice to et you too..." Even in pain, Sean didn't seem to hold a grudge.
normal, my hand would have been crushed or hurt. Since he had done that, it's only natural that I should return the favor.
His face had distorted, and he felt the power coming from my grip. I had limited myself to only warning him about trying to test .
"Sean, it's nice to et you."
"Nice to et you too..." Even in pain, Sean didn't seem to hold a grudge.
From his tone of voice, anyone could tell sothing was wrong with our interaction, but only a few guessed what had happened. His hands weren't red or abnormal since I had limited myself to giving him enough pain.
"You're strong. What training do you do?" Sean shrugged off the pain and asked.
"Training?" The only ti I had trained was with Nene, and that stopped after a week. Does killing soone counts as training? I had gained my powers through the deaths of people.
"I beat people up." I toned down the graphic setting and made my words nicer. Telling people that I was a mass murderer was sothing no sane person would do.
"You can beco stronger by beating people up? Can you teach ?" Instead of Sean, Cecilia broke the silence.
"It's pretty easy. Just beat up the bad guys and take their stuff. Surprisingly, there are a lot of rich bad guys." I wasn't lying. All of the enemies I had were from the IUC.
And most of the IUC's enemies were either big shots from their respective worlds, or I had a group of enemies I needed to wipe out.
"Bad guys?" The three people were skeptical of my words. It was obvious that it sounded ridiculous to nobles like these.
"Let give you an example. The guy who is called Sheldon Is his family wealthy?"
"Why is he the example? And yes, his family has the highest position out of all of us."
"It's just an example. If, by chance, his family rebels. It's fair ga to call him a bad guy, right? All I need to do is beat them and take everything they have. Easy money, right?"
They were silent at my explanation. What I said may be accurate, but it was sothing extre for them.
"Citylord!"
Before anyone here could speak, I saw Eliz running to us and latching onto my arms. Everyone in the room was confused by the sight, not knowing what had happened.
"Eliz!" Sheldon shouted angrily after running and chasing Eliz.
"I'm sorry, but I can't be with you. I found soone else that I'm interested in." She said as she kept my arm held. Sheldon was perplexed by this situation and glared at , trying not to show it.
Eliz, you sly woman. I now know why she brought here. She had probably predicted that Sheldon would be an annoyance, and with my status, she could use it to keep him away.
Fine woman. I will play your ga. His rudeness has also pissed off. Once I get him to kneel, I will make you submit to .
A sadistic tendency within had been sparked. Even after living a year in peace, the cruel nature within couldn't be suppressed. I no longer needed to suppress it now that I wasn't on Earth.
Anyway, Eliz's arrangent made the room silent. Different reactions could be seen in everyone. The only odd reaction ca from Cecilia. Instead, she was chuckling at the choice Eliz made.
"Eliz, I hope you're not playing around."
"Playing? I can show you my proof of love if you want." Sheldon's eyes twitched angrily, and he tried his best to remain calm.
"Want a drink?" I handed him a drink, but he remained silent due to his accumulated anger.
"Sheldon. Why don't you leave? Too much stress wouldn't do you any good."
Sean and so others who were spectating decided to ask Sheldon to leave. So people were concerned about him, but others blatantly disliked him.
"Very good. Eliz, this won't be the last ti it goes like this." Like a villain from a story, he said those last words and left in anger.
Maybe the example I gave earlier wasn't too far off. Sheldon's likeability toward was already far below the point of repair, and if he started to go against , no one could bla if his head got put on the chopping block.
"You will take responsibility for that, right?" I looked at Eliz right after Sheldon left.
Eliz didn't expect to say those words. Even so, after what she had done, Eliz should take accountability for what she had done.
