The edge cut into the man's neck, tearing the outer skin but not really damaging the throat, but Bain got frozen.
The throat was a human's biggest weak spot, as weak as the heart and the brain. Compared to the heart, which had the ribs and chest, and brain, which had a skull cap, the throat was exceptionally weaker as it was exposed on the outside.
Even though the target was a Herder who had completed all the necessary training and been into countless battles, the throat was still a weakness.
Bain saw Kieran right in front of him and felt killer intents from his eyes, faint but real.
So, without further hesitation, Bain said loudly, "I'm sorry! I apologize for my rash actions! I'll make it up to you!"
Bain was nervous as he tried to save himself from Kieran's blade and he finally heaved a breath of relief when Kieran slightly pulled back the blade.
"30 Crossing Copper Coins," said Kieran.
