Extortion

While the police always arrived late in movies so the heroes and villains could have epic battles, reality was naturally different. The perfect timing of these Dragon Knights was a symptom of deeper problems.

"Did you bastards have fun watching the show?"

The black-haired Dragon Knight before me was quite young; he appeared to be only 15-16 years old, his face dotted with youthful acne. Judging from his obvious awkwardness—he was blushing shyly—he was no veteran capable of lying with a straight face.

"I actually became a lure! They dared to use me to draw out the big fish!"

That was the first thought I had when I saw how the Dragon Knights "just happened" to arrive right after my battle with the undead.
