Slow... Yet Fast?

The tension in the air rose to new highs. At that moment, Ionel began walking toward the two.

"Alright guys, I think that's enough." He calmly asserted, raising his hand.

However, Levi's green-robed guard--Isekiel--suddenly stepped in Ionel's way.

"Stop." Isekiel exclaimed with a low tone, "Let this happen. Ope won't go overboard, I trust him to know better than that."

Ionel paused for a moment before replying, "That's a cute thought, but I'm not willing to take that risk."

He attempted to step aside and walk past the guard, but Isekiel made his intentions known by blocking Ionel's path with his arm.

"When I said stop, I didn't mean it as a suggestion. It's an order by the guards of Sanction Royalty." Isekiel said with a rough voice, staring at Ionel.
