Arthur's words made everyone glanced at him, finally, as they were all focused on Rayan. Rayan himself glanced strangely over him, as he was speechless of how daring he was, in front of Tenshi he had to be careful, not aggressive like this.
"I can't move without an order from master Tenshi," the mage threw the ball back to his master's lap, and Tenshi just smiled with interest towards Arthur as he said:
"Really interesting, tell Rodrig, have you ever heard of that clan that's called the golden lion?"
Even when he was looking at him, Tenshi didn't direct his words to Arthur, which made Arthur more determined to break this arrogance here and now. Arthur wasn't stupid, as it was clearly obvious that the state on Tenshi was higher than Rayan, but he was tied to the boat of Rayan for now, and he wouldn't let the boat he was standing upon sink.
Not without fighting back at least!
"I have never heard of such a clan, sprout head."
One of the mages who were present here when Arthur arrived replied, while making his way to stand behind Tenshi. That mage was around twenty five, twenty six in age, with a face deford since birth by the presence of a birthmark, a red broad nevus that took nearly half of his left cheek!
Arthur already saw what was going to happen, and that played exactly as he wanted to.
"Strange, such a nobody dares to raise his voice inside my clan, that's hilarious. Rodrig, I want you to teach that insolent youngster a lesson in manners, and tell him speaking loudly without permission in others houses is a cri here."
Tenshi words just fell, and the whole place was literally ignited, as all the mages standing behind him, all of those who were already here when Arthur arrived, glanced towards Arthur with extre enmity, as they were ready to fight.
"Let teach him this lesson, brother Rodrig!"
"My clan has no right to exist in this world if I didn't teach this arrogant bastard a lesson!"
"Brother Rodrig is such a nice fellow, just let show him how brutal our barbarians behave!"
One after one of the leaders of the many groups of mages here spoke up, expressing their willing to fight Arthur, but Rodrig found this a chance to raise his place in his master's eyes, so he instantly replied:
"I will face him alone, and you should all watch the rcilessness of the Black Lotus clan!"
Arthur, on another hand, wasn't interested in all this psychological war, as he wasn't even affected by a tiny of it. he simply ignored all of them as he turned to Rayan as he asked:
"Won't the great elder be upset if he learnt about my fighting here after giving such a nice treatnt?"
Rayan's eyes were glancing strangely at Arthur, as he felt Arthur's intentional actions and the result he was aiming for.
"Don't worry yourself Rayan, I will send for the whole summit of our clan to be notified of this simple teachings by ," Tenshi replied, directing his words to Rayan this ti, as he replied to Arthur's words.
"But what in this fight is for ?" Arthur wasn't satisfied by that, as he pushed things further, "I have already the special treatnt of the great elder, and I can simply wait for him to finish his important eting before I regain my position fair and square."
He said these words while directly looking Tenshi in the eye. Tenshi knew he was right, just as everyone here knew that, and by these words what Tenshi tried to do earlier, by making the image of Rayan be tarnished by him was for nothing if Arthur didn't join this fight now and retreated!
Rayan thought, for a mont here, that Arthur was aiming towards this solution from the beginning, but when he glanced at his face, he knew he was wrong. Arthur didn't want to retreat, instead he wanted to fight, badly fight that even his face showed his fighting intent very clearly.
"You want a prize for the winner? Do you dream of winning?" Tenshi said, with a smirking expression, "sure, a frog living in a well will know nothing of this world," he then took out a nice looking sword as he waved it towards Rodrig as he added, "you once asked of this sword, but I told you I won't give it easily away without good cause. Now, when you kill this fly you will have it."
The words of Tenshi caused quite a stir inside his own mages, as it seed this sword was sohow special. Arthur tried to sense the sword, but he was t with a wall, like he was hitting his head into a rock!
'It's a nice treasure indeed,' he muttered, as he nodded while saying:
"Let's go outside then."
His words made Tenshi's face change slightly, as this was his clan residence and he should give orders around, not Arthur. "Go and inform all in the closed summit of my clan about this lesson giving under my na to this insolent outsider," Tenshi said, while addressing one of those who ca with him. "Let's all go outside and wait for the clan top to co and witness this amusing fight," he added, while turning to go away with his large entourage.
As they went far ahead, reaching the exit of this hall, Rayan turned to look at Arthur as he said:
"Brother Willy, this is such a dangerous ga you are playing here."
Arthur glanced at him as he replied:
"I'm sorry to act out of my place, but if brother Rayan is feeling awkward, he can separate himself from now."
Arthur wasn't doing this for the sake of Rayan, but for his future. So, if Rayan was going to distance himself from him, not being willingly daring enough to match his own steps, then associating himself with him would be a mistake, and he would rather prefer to be separated from him right now.
"How can I do that? I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about you," Rayan embarrassedly replied, as he was fearing for Arthur, as he added, "this Rodrig is already a very famous mage in our clan, he ca from a branched clan that followed our rule under the surface. He had the blessing of many elders already to be the next clan leader of his clan. He is considered one of the top fighters in Tenshi's faction, a very fierce opponent that can shift into a tiger with a tailed flower lotus."
Rayan started to speak about Rodrig, Arthur's enemy, as he was trying to make him realize how dangerous it was to face him. Arthur just nodded, as he felt so comfort while facing another monster shifter.
"Don't worry, I'm not that easy to die," Arthur just simply replied, before turning to look at his group as he added, "do you want to co and watch?"
