Chapter 21: Item box
Everyone's eyes shifted to Liam as he walked in. The baron locked gazes with Liam, wanting to understand what he meant by what he said.
"The young master Riven isn't lying at all. I followed him all day, and what he said is true. He is an adventurer, and he also got into a fight with kidnappers that tried to take his life," Liam said, keeping an emotionless face as he spoke.
'Liam was watching me? I didn't notice at all. Does this mean he knows about my blood magic? I only used it once, he probably didn't see it,' Riven thought.
"Liam, is what you are saying true?" the baron asked.
"On my honor as a knight of the Grave family," Liam said, placing his fist on his chest.
"I see. Thank you, Liam," the baron spoke. His eyes trailed down to Riven, and he didn't know how to go from here. He was conflicted as to how to handle this issue.
"Enough of all this. You all have made the environment tense, and you are punishing my boy," a deep voice came from behind Liam. An old man with fully grey hair stepped out.
Though he was old, he was built like a mountain, and a strong aura radiated around him. He was dressed casually, much like the other old man that was seated there.
"Father," the baron said immediately the man stepped in. His father shot him a cold glance, and the baron took a step back in fright. It was as though there was an inbuilt fear for his father in his body.
