Chapter 80: Battling With Insectoids (2)
As Kenji watched Yuka leave, he nodded to Morris, agreeing to follow him.
Morris, walking slightly ahead, commented softly, "She’s quite beautiful, isn’t she?" He had seen something in Kenji’s eyes.
Kenji frowned in response.
"You shouldn’t treat a rose so harshly," Morris mused, his smile deepening. "After all, a rose has thorns, and one can easily get hurt. But a beautiful rose deserves someone who can truly appreciate her, like me, don’t you think?"
Kenji scoffed, "That’s debatable."
"Anyway, we’re here," Morris said, ending the potential argument. He didn’t want a physical confrontation, knowing he was no match for Kenji.
After a slight bow to Kenji, Morris put his beak mask back on and left from the doorway on the third floor.
Kenji knocked on the door, saying, "I’m Kuba Kenji from the army, here to inquire about the incident details from the head of the Horn family. Your cooperation would be appreciated."
A few seconds later, Donny’s voice came from behind the door, "Sorry, Admiral Kuba, my father says it’s not a good time for him to meet any visitors now. Please, you’ll need to leave."
Kenji, unfazed by this rejection, didn’t get angry. He was aware that he wouldn’t get any useful information here anyway. The former nobility had long been at odds with the Alliance Army, and getting them to talk was nearly impossible.
He nodded and replied, "Alright. If he wishes to discuss details with us later, you can contact the Alliance Arm. We are always ready to assist. Goodbye."
