Sparked Conflict

That’s another threat, alright. However, no matter how loud he screamed at me that he almost looked like he was frothing at his mouth, I sensed no activity from behind me.

Those inside the vehicle made no move at all. They remained inside, looking at us from where they were seated.

I don’t know. I’m trying to figure out if they’re really this guy’s hired thugs but with how things are progressing, I am becoming more certain that their role here is just to posture against me or drive Ichihara Jun around..

Were they sent on a precise order not to make a move unless they’ve been instructed anew? Possibly. And most likely the new instruction would not be coming from Ichihara Jun. Otherwise, he would have long ordered them to grab me inside that vehicle.
