Chapter 143: VOL 2 - 88: Are you tired of living?!
When Edward was about to attack Martín, Erik revealed his presence. At the same time, a cold, sharp, and suffocating air filled the hallway—courtesy of Erik's "killing intent", a trick he copied from the young lady of the Yuan family, the same one who started a fight with him over an item at an auction he attended some time ago. It turned out to be surprisingly easy to replicate and quite useful in the few tests he had done.
"It looks like someone thinks the Order's laws are just toys or something."
Erik spoke aloud, drawing the attention of the siblings, who smiled in relief upon seeing him. Meanwhile, a small fan-like grin appeared on Olivia's face as she slowed her actions a bit to call security.
At the same time, Seraphina discreetly placed several photographic orbs at different angles and positions throughout the hallway. These were special versions, not only capable of taking photos and videos of unbeatable quality, but they also had a stealth mode that made them impossible to detect by anyone below Master level.
Something so expensive and rare that it wasn't illegal simply because practically nobody could afford it. And all of this with the sole intention of recording her young master's gallant figure in high definition.
"Look who showed up: the biggest coward of the Arcane Order..."
Upon hearing the voice, Edward turned around to see who was so bold. But when he spotted that striking starry hair, he quickly commented with a disdainful smile. He then clasped his hands behind his back and announced in a tone he believed to be full of "righteousness", making a pose he considered especially elegant: standing perfectly straight, hands behind his back, chin slightly raised.
"I'm giving you five seconds to kneel on the floor and apologize for 'stealing' the first staff in the tournament, or I'll make sure you get to experience what it feels like to have every bone in your body broken."
"Are you all right?" Not bothering to spare a single glance at Edward, Erik asked as he approached the brothers with a calm and steady gait, a reassuring smile on his face.
"Yes, Boss, nothing happened to us." Sofía answered enthusiastically, which made Erik feel at ease. He then added, pleased.
"That's good, and I really liked how you handled the situation, just like I told you."
