21 It's broken(corrected)

When Mark headed to the room, another group entered the tavern which immediately attracted the attention of the other adventurers.

"Hey, but those aren't..."

"That's the Loki Familia."

"I heard they got to the 50th floor, what a show."

"Look, there is also the sword princess."

The group that entered were none other than the best-known members of the Loki Familia. There was Finn Deimne, lv 6 and captain of the Loki Familia, with blond hair and blue eyes and of short stature, Riveria Ljos Alf lv 6, green-eyed elf, and the oldest member, Gareth Landrock lv6, a dwarf with brown hair and eyes, two level 6 Amazon girls known as Tione Hiryute and Tiona Hiryute, and a red-haired girl with eyes that you couldn't tell if they were open or closed, known as the goddess Loki.

Finally, the girl who attracted the most attention, Aiz Wallenstein the adventurer who became lv 2 in just one year and who with her skills with the sword, she earned the title of sword princess. Plus her looks match the voices perfectly, shiny blonde hair reaching her back, golden eyes, and a flawless face is what can be called a fairy look.

Not only were the adventurers looking at her, but also Bell who had so risen to admire her beauty that he didn't even notice that Syr and Chloe were talking to him.

'I want to reach her.' -This is what he had in mind.

His thoughts were interrupted, however, by a scream that came from a gray-haired boy of the werewolf race known as Bete Loga lv 6 of the Loki Familia.

"It was time for you to arrive 'hic', you know how long I've been waiting for you for 'hic' eh!"

"Haaa... Why do you drink so much even though you know you get drunk easily?" -Finn asked him as he shook his head and sat down at the same table with the others.

"I'm not drunk! 'Hic' "- He shouted as he continued to play with something he had in his hand.

"Hey Bete what are you holding?" - Said Tiona, the most curious of the group.

"This 'hiic'... is a stone that a weakling has dropped when it collided on me 'hic'."-He said annoyed.

"Strange that stone has something that I can not explain" -Said Riveria, the strongest sorceress currently in Orario, with a serious look.

"Heheheh Bete what you have in your hand is something interesting." - Loki said with a mysterious smile.

"' Hic 'why?" -He asked with his usual annoyed expression.

"Secret, but now let's talk about something more serious, Aiz's boobs have grown?" -She said as she brought her hands to Aiz's breast with a perverted face, but before Aiz punched Loki in the face, a scream was heard.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS IT ?!"

--- change perspective ---

When Mark returned to the room he threw the envelope containing the armor aside and took slow breaths to calm himself, then went to look for a piece of cloth to take the fragment that was in his pocket, but a problem arose. When he put his hand in his pocket he did not feel the cube, even worse, he realized that there was a hole.

Touching every part of the body hoping to still have it on him, unfortunately, this was not the case.

"WHERE THE FUCK IS IT ?!" -He cried in despair as he checked everywhere.

'Calm down Mark, think. When you were eating you still had it in your pocket, then when you finished you went straight to the room... wait, right, I bumped into someone.' - The realization struck him.

Quickly he went down again and began to search the ground. As he was checking he heard Ryuu's voice.

"Mr. Mark I thought you went to the room, did something happen?" -Ryuu asked as he looked at him.

"Ryuu by chance you saw a cubic stone of this size." -Mark asked her while making a gesture with his hand to show the size.

"Unfortunately not, but if you want..." -Before Ryuu could finish speaking, Mark passed her and kept searching, but no matter where he looked he couldn't find it.

"Mark, did something happen? You look agitated "-Bell asked him when saw Mark looking for something.

"Bell tell me, have you seen a cubic stone of this size ?!" - He asked him desperately.

"Does it seem to have lights inside?" -Bell asked as he was surprised by Mark's agitation.

"Exactly!"

"I saw that boy had it in his hand." -Following Bell's finger, Mark turned and when he saw the person who had the fragment in which group he was in, he couldn't help but swear.

'Shit, of all the groups, the Loki Familia.'

Mark had done some research and was able to recognize them through the photos. The biggest problem was that Bete Loga had it. If it was anyone else, he wouldn't have had a problem as in the reports he read, most of the members were friendly, but Bete was a whole different story. '

Taking a deep breath, he put his polite smile on his face and walked over to them.

'They are monsters, their aura is even more powerful than Mrs. Mia, luckily they don't show negative feelings except for Bete who looks angry.'

The closer Mark got to them the more the pressure of their auras he felt, but what caught his attention was Loki's aura, emanating all kinds of feelings that Mark had seen and Aiz who felt like her aura was shrouded in a gentle wind.

Arriving in front of the group, he asked a question. - "Good evening Loki Familia, could I disturb you for a moment?"

Hearing the question everyone turned to him.

"No problem, do you need something?" -Replied Finn with a smile.

"I'm actually looking for something, it's a cubic stone that has lights inside it, I dropped it when I bumped into someone, did you happen to see it?"

Upon hearing about the object, everyone understood what it was.

"Ah! The stone Bete was playing with. " -Said Tiona.

Hearing that Bete was playing with the stone by touching it, veins popped up on Mark's head, but he tried to keep himself in control.

"Right Bete had it. Come on Bete, now that the owner is there, give it back to him. " - Finn said looking at Bete.

"No 'hic'" - Bete said with contempt as he put his legs on the table.

'Eh ... I'm wrong or this subspecies of a dog said no' - Mark was finding it increasingly difficult to hold back his anger, especially when he saw him continue to touch the stone with his bare hands.

"Come on Bete don't do that." - Finn told him with a sigh.

"Bete, don't disobey my beautiful captain." -Said Tione as she leaned next to Finn. Instead, the others continued to watch the situation in silence, especially Loki who watched them with interest.

"No means no! 'Hic' "-Bete shouted annoyed.

"I might know the reason?" - Mark asked trying with all his might to keep the smile.

"I don't like you, the whole time you have been here with your smile is getting on my nerves, plus you are weak and the weak have no right to make requests." -He replied with his annoying voice as he slammed his fist containing the fragment on the table.

'This bastard!' - Seeing how he was treating the fragment, Mark was furious.

"Bete it's time to stop it" - Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Riveria also intervened.

"No! 'Hic' as long as he shows that smile I won't stop. " -Being drunk, Bete didn't listen to anyone.

"Do you really want to hear what I think?"

Now Mark can't hold back anymore, his polite smile turned into a look full of disgust and cold. Seeing the change in Mark's expression even the members of the Loki Familia were surprised, with their fame many people looked at them in different ways, from respect to jealousy of their strength, but never before has anyone looked at them like this.

"What I'm thinking is, when is this dog going to stop touching something important to me with his filthy paws." -When he said those words, silence fell inside the pub, even the people who were watching the scene were silent, but everyone had thought.

'This boy is dead.'

Recovering from the shock, Finn looked panicked at Bete.

"Bete don't do it!"

Before Mark knew it he felt something hit his stomach and immediately crashed into the counter.

"Eh, I would be a dog ... I OF THE WEREWOLF BREED HAVE BEEN COMPARED TO A DOG ?!" -Bete was furious. He was about to go and hit Mark again but was stopped by the other members.

"Young Bete, I understand that you are angry, but you started it." -Gareth told him seriously.

"For God's sake Bete, you feel really satisfied to hit a level 1" -Said Riveria looking at him with disappointment, as for the other members.

'Cough, it hurts but at least it worked.'

Spitting blood Mark struggled to his feet. The plan to anger Bete came not only from his hatred but also from reasoning. Knowing the personality of Bete, one who hates weakness, even apologizing would not solve anything, so he came up with a plan.

By infuriating Bete he would surely have been attacked, but the other members would stop him and with his actions, he would be able to get Loki's attention. What he underestimated, however, is that his insult was too much.

"FUCK!" -Throwing a strong punch at the table, Bete realized too late that his fist landed on the fragment.

'CRASH!'

As the dust cleared among the rubble of the table you could see the fragment of Selene broken.

"Shit... I didn't mean to break it." -Said Bete repentant. Mark's pupils dwindled as he looked at the shattered fragment.
