Chapter 305: Objective

A small pressure was slowly being built inside Charlotte's tavern, only being prevented from growing by the sound of Lorei's voice stuttering in the air. The tone of her voice, growing louder and louder so as to not allow a fight to happen.

"I'll return, okay? I'll return. Lower your weapons!"

No, she did not want to return. But what else could she do? She knew how stubborn frost giants could be. Add that to his father's natural-born stubbornness, it was a recipe for disaster. And as soon as her words of surrender reached her father's ears, he quickly sheathed his weapon back, also signaling his men to do the same.

"...Are you sure?"

"I am sure, please don't kill them!" Lorei said as she completely blocked her father from Van's view.

"..." Van, who heard Lorei's words, could not help but blink a couple of times in disbelief. Why did she think he was going to kill them? He wasn't some heartless murderer that just killed people.
