"What did you say? Huh?" Alissa glared at the tall man with vicious eyes. "Who were you threatening before? I dare you to say it out loud!"
"Hey, Alissa," Ryan said. "Don't kill any of them. If you do, things will get too complicated and my hands are already full."
"But they threatened Arthur!" Alissa said.
"No buts," Ryan said. "If you make an enemy out of them, I won't let you get closer to Arthur ever again. I can't let him get close to someone who makes enemies out of everyone this easily."
While Ryan and Alissa were talking, the tall man and his subordinates finally noticed the situation they were in. Without any other choice, they decided to do what they came to do. They equipped their guns and fired some weird darts at Alissa.
"Ah, that weird smell was coming from this," Alissa said after she created a Mana Shield to block the projectiles.
