Caught As Collateral

Rex walked along the road with Linthia, his expression seemed to be vacant—in contemplation.

Earlier, the man introduced himself as Blue and he came from the Arcalen House.

Being new around the area, Rex did not know about the Arcalen House.

But from the way Blue gloated about the house as well as how he handled the situation earlier, using nothing but his words—it must certainly be a strong and also reputable faction. Blue confessed that he was a recruiter, poaching strong people for an unspecified task for the house.

Seeing the stunt Rex pulled from earlier, it was natural for Blue to be interested in him.

His offer was quite alluring but other than saying that it involves fighting, Blue said nothing more.
