Chapter 139: Frustration(P3)

From the cold, careful placement of his footfalls, his thin, unassuming smile to the cool, jet black wave of hair on his head. The Mayor is far more of a slithering creature than even my familiar.

His slow clap as he steps out of the tear in space has my blood boiling. This, this wasn't even on the very long list of how he could get a jump on me. Kaylin feels the same, perhaps even worse as she's already flaring with mana.

I, on the other hand, isn't so quick to battle. His slow clap means something, and like the dodgy man he appears to be, I know he is set to gloat.

Or otherwise, set on my target, or targets.
