"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in any duels. This city already managed to disappoint me, and I do not wish to remain on its streets for any longer than necessary. With that, we will have to excuse ourselves…"
Grasping Eve's hand even stronger, I barely managed to make a few steps back before the middle-aged man that so-far acted quite polite appeared right in front of me, despite how my new direction was completely opposite to where I was heading before.
"I'm sorry, but I'm worried that I will have to insist."
With a kind smile still plastered on top of his lips, the middle-aged man looked at me before moving his eyes to the girl behind my shoulder. Suddenly licking his lips clean with a lascivious look in his eyes, he added.
"Unless you are willing to leave that girl aside. I can accept her as the price that the surrendering side is ought to offer to the victor."
