Carlson and his group stayed silent with sweat trickling down their back when they thought about Zen's threat.
"Hmph, act arrogant when you have something to back it up otherwise I can make sure you all learn the meaning of offending someone you cannot afford to." Zen scoffed as he returned his focus to Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon.
"You didn't have to be that harsh when we're all in the same situation now," Krista Dragoon said softly.
However, Zen quickly shook his head in reply and held her by the waist. It wasn't that he wanted to be arrogant and show off his ability but that he wanted to let them know who is the boss.
If he were to stay silent despite the provocation from Carlson then the situation will continue to escalate where their group believes they can order them around.
