In the silent standoff, Dave Roland suddenly laughed.
He flicked his wheat-like golden hair: "The Roland family is considered to be a top-notch family in Western Europe, but it also has a history of a thousand years. Once upon a time, my ancestors emerged as distinguished talents from the holy wars, gaining some influence in Western Europe. It would be a foolish move for the Slaughter Squad to pick a fight with the Roland family."
His words seemed to come with a sigh of relief, yet carried an imperceptible threat within.
A family with a thousand-year history, who knows if there was an old fellow who had lived for a millennium lurking in the background.
Or perhaps even earlier.
A millennium only represented the time since the establishment of the family.
During a certain era.
There were no inhabitants in Western Europe.
People who came from further places might have lived longer than the recorded history.
