“Don’t you even think to greet us anymore?”
It was obvious they were in a blind spot and couldn’t be seen. However, he had no intention of correcting or challenging their words.
Askan bowed his head in greeting as they had expected, and was just about to turn around and take a few steps away when…
Thud—!
Something heavy hit him in the back of the head.
Turning his head, he saw that the tool one of the slaves had been holding was now lying just behind him.
From the looks of it, the slave had thrown the tool at him.
Feeling something trickling down, he reached back to touch the back of his head and found blood on his hand.
Should he be glad that his body hadn’t reflexively hardened into steel?
“You arrogant bastard!”
“Hey, hey, what if you tell Miss Tanashia?”
“Just try it. Then I’ll really split your skull in two!”
“……”
Askan did not respond.
All he was concerned about was that the clothes Tanashia had bought for him were stained with blood.
He intended to wear the clothes, which he might have to return someday, as carefully as possible. Even if he was asked to pay for them later, there was nothing he could give.
With a blank expression on his face, Askan rubbed the bloodstained shirt and said,
“Next time, please warn me in advance before you start such a mess. Thanks to you, my clothes aren’t dirty, aren’t they?”
“You’re kidding! Do you really think you’re a noble just because you’re wearing such clothes?!”
Askan couldn’t understand at which point the man had become even angrier.
When the man, whose eyes were turning red, was about to rush at Askan again, his colleague quickly stopped him.
“Stop it. He’s always been a weirdo.”
“You halffaced bastard! Do you think your current life will last? You’ll be abandoned by the lady soon!”
He knew this fact well, even without being reminded.
Suddenly, he remembered the researchers in white coats warning him with mechanical voices.
─ You’re a walking time bomb. If your emotions become intense, you could obliterate everything around you in an instant.
In fact, once he began to unleash the power he was suppressing, he could easily take human lives as easily as crushing tofu.
The problem was that he couldn’t control that power at will.
Once he started using his power, he couldn’t stop until he destroyed everything he saw, just like a person intoxicated with drugs.
Therefore, it was taboo to get emotional. He had to avoid causing unnecessary accidents and getting into the ears of pursuers.
He wasn’t even angry about this small incident, but if he started using his power, it wouldn’t end as easily as what they had done.
Askan didn’t want to waste any more time and turned away. If he delayed any longer here, he wouldn’t be able to arrive at the time Tanashia had asked him to come.
Then an unexpected voice came from behind.
“When do you think I’m going to abandon Askan?”
At the familiar voice, Askan involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
When he turned his head, he saw a girl with long black hair flowing down.
Her pale face contrasted with her black hair and red lips. It was Tanashia.
With a puzzled expression, Askan looked at Tanashia and said,
“Why are you here, miss?”
“My schedule suddenly changed, so I came to find you. But I didn’t expect to see such an interesting scene.”
From the outside, Tanashia’s expression seemed no different from usual, but to Askan’s eyes, she seemed strangely annoyed.
The men’s faces turned pale at Tanashia’s unexpected appearance.
It was a given. With just one word from her, their lives were hanging by a thread.
“Ah, Miss, about this…”
The man who had seemed about to rush at Askan was at a loss for words, and his colleague quickly opened his mouth.
“We’re sorry, sorry, Miss. What are you doing not apologizing right away!”
“So, sorry.”
Watching them apologize repeatedly, Tanashia asked with a cold look in her eyes,
“Do you know what you did wrong?”
“Yes, yes. We were jealous because Askan was taken in by you, miss. We’re really sorry.”
The man who had been angry stuttered out his admission of guilt. Whether it was sincere or not, he had no choice but to say it in this situation.
Tanashia pointed at the earring she was wearing, looking at him intently. It was an elegant earring made of blue sapphire.
“How much do you think this is worth?”
Caught off guard by the unexpected question, the man was taken aback, but soon responded in a trembling voice.
“Uh, it must be very expensive, considering that you’re wearing it….”
“Of course. It’s my earring, isn’t it? What would you do if you were to damage it?”
“Oh dear, miss. How could I ever compensate for your earring? Even a lifetime of labor wouldn’t be enough to repay.”
Hearing his response, Tanashia then pointed at Askan.
“What about Askan?”
“Pardon?”
“He’s also my property.”
“Ththat’s….”
The man’s face was filled with shock for a moment. He had understood what Tanashia was implying.
