Chapter 103: Challenge Accepted
The situation suddenly became tense. Cerdic’s words were practically a declaration of war.
Bob and I were ready to summon our weapons at any moment. Linus was already in a stance.
The other group had entered battle mode too, their eyes sharp and focused.
Both sides were bracing to strike, just waiting for a signal.
But then...
Cerdic sighed. "Even though I truly mean it, I still have a conscience." He lowered his weapon to his side.
"There would be serious consequences if guild members fought each other outside of the tournament. I won’t allow my name to be stained. Let’s go, everyone." He gave his horse a slight pull, turning it around to leave the area. The others glared at us for a few more moments before following.
But just before his horse fully turned...
Bob leaned forward and said, "I didn’t know the S-rank of Goldfang were cowards." He smirked.
"What are you doing? Why are you antagonizing him?" I whispered harshly to Bob.
I didn’t know why, but I had the distinct feeling that we were becoming the villains in someone else’s story. And usually, those are the ones who end up getting hurt.
