76 Just Who Did I Offend? (2/2)

”No nothing. I was just wondering how could you know such a perverted person?” Linri initially did not plan on asking anything and asked about Richard to change the subject. Then he remembered that Richard was mentioned in his story so could he get the answers he was seeking for in here? The answer was no. Talking about Richard meant talking about magic and talking about magic was a no go.

”Perverted? You mean Richard? Tell me did he do something to you!” Lyra became visibly agitated. She was furious but why though? As long as Linri remembered Richard was only interested in beautiful women. It's not like he was one... WAIT!! Don't tell me there was a phase he was interested in boys as well!!!! At the thought of this Linri shivered intensely and worried about his chastity.

”If he did something I will rip his bloody head off!” Arkady also joined in the rage as well. Really people what the hell Richard did to you? Thinking about their weird out of nowhere rage Linri gulped unconsciously and offered a prayer for the poor guy. To be honest, Linri would not be as relaxed as this if he knew what Richard did but as they always say 'Sometimes ignorance is bliss'.

”Woah there! He did nothing.... to me at least but he was asking for her photo... in a bikini... for his private collection.” Linri was talking while pointing at Jaime and he could see that with his every word his parents' rage was growing even more.

At the other side of the world, Richard started sweating coldly out of nowhere. As a magician that lived for centuries his sixth sense was highly sensitive and he knew that someone was thinking about killing him, someone very strong and dangerous. The problem was he did not know who it was that he offended. He decided that it was time to call it a day and excused himself to his bedroom and locked the door. That night he had countless nightmares.

Back at the breakfast table the Jaime was eating her food quietly and looking at the Harclaw family antics. Life was really not boring around them. Thinking about that she could not help but miss her own family and a nostalgic look appeared on her face. Lyra and Arkady took this as a sign that she was feeling sad over what happened with Richard and this strengthened their drive to teach that idiot old man a lesson.

”Don't worry sweetheart he can't do anything. Don't believe that pervert's threats he can't do anything to you. We will teach him a lesson and he will never mess around with you. If he does just give us a call and we will teach him again one more time.” Lyra was trying to comfort Jaime and Arkady was cracking his knuckles. Linri did not remember his parents this much agitated since like.... forever. He could not help but think just what the hell Richard do in the past. How could someone generate this much hatred? In gaming terms, Richard just taunted his whole family and he was not even here. His name was enough to taunt all the monsters nearby.

”Thank you Ms Harclaw. I will be sure to give you a call.” Jaime said while smiling. It was as if flowers bloomed on her fair face. She was not even faking it this was a genuine smile because the situation was too funny. She could not help but give Linri a look since she knew that he was the whole reason this mess started in the first place and she founded it funny how easily he diverted this storm away from himself to some poor soul at the other end of the earth.

After breakfast Linri trained with Arkady as usual. However today he kept making mistakes as he was worried about what he wrote while also being tired so he kept getting beaten up by Arkady's branch. At this point, Linri was not even bothered by the pain as he had it much worse at the temple and these were like mosquito bites at best. Still, he acted like it hurt because you know who would want to up the bar if he could have it easy?

When the training was over Linri was so tired that he could barely stand. He made up his mind to sleep after taking a shower. That was when he saw Jaime training with her wooden sword. She was graceful and beautiful. He watched her for a while when an idea suddenly came to his mind. Maybe she could help him with his problem.
