A Day in the Life of the Master (Part Two)

The other party should catch it properly.

However, after hearing his words, Galan just sneered, then moved his hand from the short man's head down to his neck.

"I'm afraid I'll get blood on my clothes if I just smother him to death like this. It's definitely better to just strangle this kind of menace right here."

"You say it's because of your reputation? What does your reputation even mean? If this scoundrel didn't have you backing him up, how dare he act so recklessly?"

His voice grew increasingly cold, showing no intention of letting the man go, a fact confirmed by the increasing pressure he exerted on his hand.

The short man's face flushed red under his touch, like a balloon about to burst.

Under Galan's control, he was now unable to even cry for help and could only be slaughtered at his mercy.

What do you mean by that?

Seeing that Galan completely ignored him and even intensified his actions, he knew this was a threat. Galan was warning him that he didn't care who the dog's owner was and could end the short man's life anytime he wanted.

This is blatant provocation.

Amber, who was watching the three of them from the side, was also amazed by Galan's fearless demeanor and decisive actions, and her admiration for Galan grew even stronger.

The burly man was also furious. He had only made concessions because the other party had some strength, but he didn't expect Galan to be so ungrateful and give him no face at all.

"Isn't it clear what I mean? Either you apologize to me today, or you can take your little brother's account back with you."

"You dare to kill someone here?"

Do you think I wouldn't dare?

Their eyes met directly, neither giving way.

The crowd grew larger and larger, with more people coming to watch the farce, and the discussions about the current situation became increasingly noisy.

The most miserable one was the short man who was pinned to the ground and killed.

Many adventurers who had been bullied by him in the past openly showed their disdain upon seeing him like this.

It seems to be saying, "Finally, you've run into a brick wall, haven't you?"

The short man noticed the gazes directed at him, and was filled with a mixture of grief and indignation, yet he was helpless. He could only secretly vow that once this was over, he would make those who had mocked him pay the price.

However, all he can do now is hope that his older brother can rescue him from Galan's clutches as soon as possible.

"Are you really planning to fight me to the bitter end like this?"

After a long standoff, the burly man broke the silence by speaking first.

In situations like these, whoever speaks first often loses a significant advantage in terms of momentum. So, in a sense, his actions were a form of retreat.

This was not only due to Galan's overly aggressive stance, but also because public opinion among those around him was almost unanimously in support of Galan. With these two factors combined, he knew he couldn't gain the upper hand today.

"I'll show you what happens when you go against me."

"Want to lay a hand on me? I'm waiting for you."

Seeing the other party issue a threat to him, Galan found it utterly ridiculous.

He's a top assassin who came from the Shadow Organization, yet someone dares to challenge him.

You'd better not regret it.

Seeing that Galan remained unmoved by his threats, the burly man was completely at his wit's end. He viciously bit Galan's foot, then turned and roughly pushed through the crowd, disappearing into the distance.

"Big brother! What should I do?"

The short man, who was still waiting for rescue, became anxious when he saw his older brother leave so decisively, without any intention of acknowledging him.

No matter how much he shouted, the other person seemed not to hear him and simply disappeared, leaving only the mocking voices echoing around him.

Feeling the murderous glint in Galan's eyes as he looked at him, he immediately panicked.

"Big... Big brother, let's talk this out. I was wrong just now, I apologize, I apologize!"

Seeing that even the burly man couldn't gain any advantage over Galan, he knew he had provoked a formidable opponent today.

If I don't do something soon, I might really lose my life here today.

After all, the other party didn't seem to care about human life at all. He could clearly feel that the techniques Galan used on him were pure killing moves, which were not something ordinary people could learn or access. This guy was definitely a desperate criminal!

"I will never do such a thing again, I swear! I swear I really will!"

"Really? What if you don't change your ways again? I'd rather just strangle you right here. You're nothing but a menace."

Galan spoke with a half-smile, while slightly increasing the pressure on his hand, making the man feel the breath more clearly.

"Here's what we'll do. Knowing your character, you've probably harmed quite a few people in the past. Just pick a few around here and apologize to them."

"I'll let you go if they forgive you," Galan said, tossing the short man into the crowd as easily as if he were tossing a chick.

The man, feigning pain, shakily got to his feet and found himself surrounded by a large group of people. Among them were many adventurers he had bullied and oppressed. Everyone had clearly heard what Galan had said earlier, and they were currently seething with anger. They were not about to let this rare opportunity for revenge slip by.

"You...

The short man recognized the [C]-rank adventurer in front of him. With his older brother's backing, he had previously snatched the adventurer's commission payment by force.

Because it happened outside the association, no one could stand up for him, so he had no choice but to swallow his grievances.

Many people risk their lives to earn this commission, only to have their hard-earned money taken away unreasonably. The resentment they feel is unimaginable.

Most importantly, this isn't the only target of the short man's abuse. "Give me back my money!"

"You bastard, so this day has finally come!"

"Where's that Magic Item you stole from me? Don't even think about leaving here until you return it!"

More and more people began demanding repayment of their debts from him, and under Galan's previous threats, coupled with his elder brother's complete disregard for his safety and his departure, he continued his relentless pursuit.
