"LUZ WAS FORCED TO!" he yelled, garnering the attention of some of the patrons who stood by the main entrance of the Inn.
Bertha unsheathed her saber and pointed it straight towards Hao Xuan's heart, "Explain yourself!"
"R-Rufgar! I was just going about my business and he forced me to take this human to get settled! He said he was really useful and you could use his help!" he shouted from behind Hao Xuan.
And only after hearing all that did she even register his presence. The edge of her saber moved upwards, resting at the base of his neck.
"A human?? Rufgar sent me a human? Why? Who is your master, slave?"
Hao Xuan coldly glanced at the saber's tip that was about to pierce his skin, "Lower the weapon and ask that question again with a little more respect," he demanded.
