Chapter 109: Beaten Worse than a Dog (2/2)

”Who are you?” asked the middle-aged aka second lord. ”How dare you interfere in the matter of House Wynner?”

”Sorry man, I don't have any intention to interfere in your matter,” Kadyn chuckled, but his face was cold as ice, ”but you see, this guy, whom you have beaten worse than a dog is my friend, so I would suggest you give up on snatching anything from him.”

Ironclad's face twitched as he heard Kadyn's words. Are you trying to rescue me or insult me? He thought, but remained on the ground, feeling grateful in his heart. After all he wasn't close to Kadyn, as for friendship, that was just a load of bulshit, they had just talked once — they could hardly be considered acquaintances. Much less friend.

The second lord's face turned cold as soon as he heard his words and took a step forward. However, from behind Kadyn Barret and Hot Rod walked out and blocked his path. ”I would suggest you to against doing anything stupid, Mr. Llyris,” Barret said as he flicked the Magic Association's badge in his hand.

The middle-aged man stopped. He eyed the badge in his hand and then glared at Barret. ”You know who I am, and still dare to go against me. Do you know the consequences of your stupidity?”

”Well, why don't we find out?” Barret scowled and a rune appeared on his forehead. Hot Rod also did the same and on his forehead also appeared a rune. Llyris Wynner turned somewhat pale. He thought that these two were ordinary Rank 1 magus, but they seemed as strong as him. Someone like Ironclad was far too weak as compared to them.

”I can let the man go, but I'll take the cauldron with me,” Llyris said.

”I don't think you have a clear understanding about your situation — if you want to know, why don't you fight with these two men here? And then, I think, you'll have a more evident view of the situation.” Kadyn stared at the man. ”What do you say?”

Llyris peered at Kadyn and Kadyn returned his gaze with the same intensity, refusing to back down in the face of threat; in the end, Llyris gritted his teeth and eyed the cauldron reluctantly in front of him. Then said, ”I hope you won't regret it in the future.”

”Never heard the word. Do you know what it means?” he asked Barret.

”Maybe some kind of new word.” The man replied.

Llyris' face flushed red and his eyes turned colder and colder. ”Let's go!” and he scrambled away with others.

Ish, who was standing behind the man, was utterly shocked, and couldn't believe that Kadyn, whom he didn't put in his eyes last time, was able to make Llyris, the second lord of House Wynner, retreat. A little fear appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly dashed behind everyone else.

Kadyn remained standing until Llyris' group faded from view. Then he turned towards the man on the ground, twitching from time to time in pain. ”I thought you died when Zephyr destroyed Zhodon. How did you end up here?”

”Help me first. I'm not in the shape of walking by myself.”

Khrom supported the man and helped him to stand. Ironclad gasped for a breath and said. ”Fuck, they had beaten me too much. One day I'm going to crack their skulls, aiiii. Do it gently, man. Or, my body is going to split into hundreds of different parts.”

”Ahh, sorry about that,” Khrom said embarrassedly. He had squeezed his hand rather forcefully, making Ironclad jump in shock. ”I'll be more careful next time.” He put his hand over his shoulder, holding the man.

”Let's go inside the shop,” Kadyn said. ”We'll talk there. I can sense lots of eyes here.”

Everyone nodded in agreement and entered the shop. Though none of them revealed themselves, people were eyeing them like a hungry wolf, or more precisely at the cauldron that was lying on the ground.

”Wait a sec,” Ironclad said and extended his hand towards the cauldron and it again became the size of a thumb and fell into his hand. ”Let's go.” So the group vanished into the shop.
