Tears began to welled up in his eyes as he trembled, when suddenly, Sylas's hand, which was still firmly holding his, tightened slightly.
Rocco glanced at him, and when he timidly looked up, he saw Sylas's face, slightly turned downward, a look of anger on his features.
Rocco's eyes grew even more teary as he thought, Oh no!
However, Sylas, unaware of Rocco's distress as clenched his teeth and muttered softly under his breath.
"That bastard Laxus… he said this old bastard would come late…"
The voice was so soft that Rocco was sure only he could hear it.
He noticed Sylas's subtle murderous intent directed at Laxus, and for the first time, he understood just a little of what Sylas meant.
It seemed that Sylas and Laxus had been planning something together, possibly working in secret.
From the words Sylas had just spoken, it seemed like he was wary of the Head of the Del Fiore family.
