Charles stood behind Colton. They had just arrived but had not yet entered the doors of the Alchemist Guild, so they had overheard Quinn's threat and Seven's arrogance.
Charles immediately wanted to rush into the Alchemist Guild, but Colton grabbed him firmly.
Even now, Colton continued to shield Charles from view, afraid that Charles would act impulsively and agree to the duel between alchemists.
"Quinn, this is a matter between the two of us. No one else should be involved, not my apprentice Charles nor any other Beast Masters from Genosha." Colton said calmly.
His reasoning was simple: he did not want to drag Charles into this.
In Colton's eyes, Charles had a greater talent for alchemy than he did. He was bound to become a master-level alchemist in the future, and perhaps even a legendary one!
