Chapter 182 - The Ark Of A Choice (2/2)

”I'll have to agree with you on that one.”

”So, we'll count him out?”

The Marquess nodded.

”The Human Hawkeye is out to get her? I'm quite impressed,” said Baldwin, downing the last mouthful.

He too ordered a second round. Meanwhile, Mavislin had been happily stuffing her face with meat and ordered the third round.

”Why would you be?” asked Yan.

”Do you think to target the last child of Valkoia to be an easy task?” laughed Baldwin, while swaying his head.

”Is she that powerful?” asked Yan, looking at Mavislin.

The little Valkyrie looked at him with a mouth full of stew.

”I'm quite impressed that mere human could ever think of assassinating little Mavislin. If she can kill Mages, then rest assured that humans are nothing to her,” explained Gillian, smiling proudly.

”Ah, but the thing I'm interested to know is your mission. Who were you supposed to kill?” asked Minwoo.

Yan looked guilty as he put out a bony finger towards Minwoo. The Marquess looked shocked.

”Me? What have I done to you?!” asked Minwoo.

”No, no... It's just a mission from Ashley. He'd said that if I could pull it off, I could be the mafia head within the Teuton domain,” elaborated Yan.

”The poor lad hasn't got much of choice, does he?” asked Gillian.

”Well, I'm going to give him one. Since this involves my little brother, Ash, then I'm taking matters to my hands. I don't want Mavislin to get involved with my sibling rivalry. Or any outsiders to mess with my family affairs.”

”I find that troublesome,” finished Minwoo as his expression darkened.

Yan's ears perked up as Minwoo looked at him. By now, Mavislin had her fill with beef goulash and hopped out from her seat. With a small plea, the Old Chapel gave Mavislin her little toy bunny. She plopped down right in the middle of her play area.

”If Ashley gave you the chance to be mafia head of Teuton for killing me, then I want to give you something even better. Join us in the new system we are planning out with the Mages. Where we work with each other to restore order in the domains,” said Minwoo.
