Reon sighed inwardly.
"Tch. Of course. Trouble again. I really am cursed with bad luck…"
The room fell quiet.
One moment it was filled with laughter and the clinking of mugs—and the next, all eyes were locked onto Reon and the broad-shouldered man glaring at him.
They were buzzing with excitement—eager to witness a veteran adventurer put a cocky newcomer in their place.
"Hey, hey, look over there," a man chuckled from behind his drink. "That newbie just picked a fight with Wei Lin—the Fierce Prince."
"No way! Seriously? I've gotta see this!" another chimed in, eyes lighting up. "Who is it? Who is it?"
"Whoa, that's one flashy title," murmured that recently promoted E-Rank adventurer, turning to his older brother with wide eyes. "I don't think I've seen that guy around before, Senior Brother."
"You wouldn't," the older brother replied, crossing his arms. "He doesn't hang around this city much. He's a C-Rank adventurer—famous in other towns. Real hot-blooded too."
