"If you dare kill me, the Punishment Squad will surely come after you!"
The faces of the young men and women turned exceedingly ugly.
"Heh heh, even if we kill you, what of it? As long as this young master does a few good deeds afterwards, I can rest easy without worry. Moreover, I never said I would kill you with my own hands!"
The youth laughed heartily, clapped his hands, and a servant led out a gigantic bird from the bushes, its feathers a brilliant red and its eyes ablaze with murderous intent.
"This is my mount. It shall be the one to end your lives."
"You can't do this!"
"If the Great Flame Dynasty finds out, you too will lose your life!"
"Let us go, and you can take the Demonic Beast!"
Their faces changed dramatically, not expecting the youth to have prepared so thoroughly, planning from start to finish not to dirty his own hands.
As they got up to flee, the youth's expression darkened, and he immediately gave the command, "Kill them!"
"Roar!"
