Not just Tharon, but even the heirs around him were stunned. Obviously, this wasn't because they 'recognized' Ryu, but rather because rather because they were all intelligent people who instantly understood some things based on the half-mask before them. Not long later, they all, aside from Tharon and the silent Croft Clan heir began laughing uproariously, unable to keep it in.
"Hey Tharon, this… Country bumpkin, that's what you called him right? He can't be that necromancer that beat you into the ground with his fists, right?" The Xie family heir wiped tears from his eyes, hardly able to contain himself.
"Haha! I can't take it! If he's a country bumpkin, what are you exactly?" The Vinn family heir could only pile on, clutching his stomach.
Tharon's fists clenched as pulsing veins crawled across his forehead.
