135 hostage

Fraser was quite certain that Milo could become his shield.

His father told him that most of his kind were quite forgiving and good natured which was a major weakness.

Milo may have been considered as a traitor but he was still family and a part of the main bloodline of the Meridian family.

He believed that the vast majority of the Meridian family would wish to not see any more blood shed within their family and would not wish for one of their main bloodline to be lost.

Everything could be settled at a later date when the young Milo was given a punishment fitting for his involvement.

Some may have held out some hope that he could turn over a new leaf and repent for what he was involved in.

The main bloodline of a family was valuable so it could be used.

Family or tribal relationships were chaotic at times but they were all one united front when it came to many matters.

Many noble families had their own internal strife but there were many times when they put it aside for the sake of the family honour or the preservation of Zou.

Fighting together for the sake of a unified race.

Fighting together for the sake of one's loves ones.

Fighting to protect the honour and name of a family or homeland.

Yet the Glutt family were brought up to think very differently.

Take and take until satisfied.

Only be out for oneself.

The other families are idiots.

Exploit any weakness.

So many negative teachings were taught to raise their family in a way that made them ruthless and only out for themselves.

Fraser was one among the main heirs of the Glutt family that ruthlessly eliminated any who was a threat to his power or had something he wanted without exception.

He looked down with a wide grin on his face towards Pixel and many others who would soon begin to hesitate.

Everything would soon allow him an opportunity then he would dispose of Milo once his usefulness ran out.

He planned on using the Meridian family to cause a disruption after being threatened with a valuable hostage.

Other families would have intended to capture Milo alive too so there would be some time when they would hesitate.

He was hoping to allow for his own escape during that disruption or use Milo enough to let others open a path for him.

It all depended on how much his thoughts were correct and if they had wanted to capture Milo alive more than how much they did not want Fraser to escape.

A cruel grin appeared on his face as his eyes met with Pixel who he saw as the instigator of everything. 'If it was not for her then we would not be in this messy situation.'

He felt that all the misfortunes stemmed from Pixel whether it was during the past in the hunting competition, other failures of families connected to his families schemes or the current situation.

Suddenly his gaze that was filled with cruelty and anger had frozen.

A pair of amber eyes were locked onto his eyes as the eyelashes fluttered cutely as they blinked.

Pixel tilted her head and further displayed her cuteness meeting his gaze as her brother was held hostage.

Her sweet voice that held a certain charm about it suddenly spoke words that he did not expect and did not match her current tone of voice. "Go on then. Kill him."

It was loud enough to be heard among those who had paused at that time or were still busy fighting.

Fraser who met her gaze and heard her voice from further away looked like he had entered a trance for a moment.

Upon heading what Pixel had said, his claw around the throat of Milo began to tighten as if he really was going to kill him.

His eyes remained fixed on Pixel with the same dazed look on his face.

The two continued to lock eyes for a short moment before Pixel let out a soft chuckle. "You-chu~ can stop that. I was just joking. Hmmm~ I know! How about you let me take his place?"

Charm may have helped to sway others but it had its limitations.

A lot of MInks had quite strong willpower making them able to resist Conquerors Haki to a certain degree.

If they were older and stronger then it made it far more difficult but targeting someone like Fraser was still manageable.

Fraser grinned as his grip loosened slightly. "Hehehe fine! Everyone stop!"

Pixel smiled cutely as she stepped forward as the crowd parted before her.

Her steps were light and took her closed towards Fraser. 'Employing this method at a long range is.. troublesome. There is a limit to how much I can sway others with my charms but this should be enough to stop him from thinking clearly.'
