"You… You have nothing to say?!" Jonete's shrill roar reverberated through the arena, forcing Ryu's corpse puppet to stumble backward several steps.
"… I kill those who deserve to be killed. Your brother just happened to be among them."
To say that Ryu's words were brazen was an understatement. This wasn't just any person he was speaking of, this was the Second-in-Line Heir of the Minn Clan! A Sixth Order Clan!
Those of the Core Region wouldn't dare even dream of slighting them. However, what was even more unacceptable to those of the crowd was that Ryu actually dared say such heartless words to a little girl whose cheeks had long since flooded with tears.
To Ryu, however, this so-called "little girl" was already a Connecting Heaven Realm expert and well over three hundred years old. What did it have to do with him whether she cried or not? So, even when the chorus of boos began to rain downward with impunity, it was as though Ryu didn't hear them at all.
