An Interesting Discovery

If they weren't up against me, these aristocrats couldn't be underestimated. They would have fought with everything they had, their lives on the line.

I grinned at the sight of his battered face, despite the fact that he was still attempting to stagger for time.

"You provoked this young master, so now he'll show you he's not to be trifled with!" I continued to kick the person who was now screaming, fuming with rage.

His cries for aid, however, will never be heard because I was trampling firmly on his mouth.

They'd be here in about five minutes.
