Chapter 135: 15-year-old Inglis and Hyrule Menaces’ Escorting Directive (43)
「Lord Abel! I am glad you are okay!」
Inglis’ face lit up as she congratulated the fact that Abel was safe.
「What a brazen lie to tell on my face! Who do you think kicked me!?」 「It wasn’t a lie. I am really happy to see that you are safe.」
It really wasn’t a lie. She wanted to fight strong opponents time and time again. If Abel was safe, that meant she could fight him again.
Moreover, he had a strong vanity in his martial abilities and was belligerent himself. There was a very likely chance that he would polish his skills and challenge Inglis for a rematch.
There was also a lot more to see in his Mana Refinement skill, and Inglis could feel its expandability too. He still could get stronger.
By all means, he should get stronger and use his power against Inglis. Therefore, his wellbeing was something Inglis truly congratulated.
「Archlord! A Highland’s High General, is it? And if you are here……that means you are in charge of the negotiation, correct?」 「Hmph. So what if I am. You must be the head of the Ironblood Chain Brigade. I’ve heard that it’s a man wearing all black, but really, what a bad-taste costume. I’m sure your face is so unsightly that you have no confidence showing it?」 「Fuh… Indeed, I would be anxious if I weren’t dressed like this. Now then, our goal is to kill the Highland’s envoy… It’s distasteful to fight against a child, but I’ll have you let me accomplish our goal.」
Inglis quickly stepped in between the growing tension between Black Mask and Abel.
