Playing the Bully

Jack showed a wry smile and his eyes were sharp and unhesitant. He looked around at the Lyre Family with a demeaning gaze.

None of the other members of the Lyre Family understood what Jack was doing or why he had suddenly ambushed their young master.

"Sir, what are you trying to do?" asked one of the bodyguards as he stepped closer.

"I wouldn't recommend you come any closer," stated Jack, keeping his cool. "You all are fine with picking on others when they're down, so why can't I do the same?"

"But sir--"

"Hurry up and pass me all your rings!"

The sudden demand caused everyone to freeze. Even the Maronn and the Treall Families put a pause to their battle.

"Are you threatening the Lyre Family?! You're insane!" One of the other young masters shouted back. He looked almost identical to Tarnel, so Jack assumed them to be brothers.
