Vulpina dumped Kaiser on the bed in one of the specially-prepared guest houses. Feeling uncomfortable, she turned to leave immediately.
However, she found herself unwilling to step out of the door. She remained still for some time, then cautiously turned back to the guy sprawled on the bed.
His expression was serene and peaceful, like a child. It looked nothing like the young man she had seen earlier. That one—
'… is a monster.'
Wasn't he scared that she could decide to kill him at this moment? Just as she was puzzled, she realized something important.
'Kill me? The consequences outweigh the profits—so yes, you wouldn't dare.'
Kaiser's fearless words rang in her ears. That wasn't just a bluff, but deep certainty.
Her adoptive father had repeatedly mentioned the Solace Clan, making her realize its importance.
'Another clan strong enough to compete with us?'
She hadn't even heard of such a clan.
