"Now that I have to wait because of you,
don't you think you should compensate sohow?"
The man spoke as he glanced at Riona, and in an instant, Nux's expression changed.
However, before he could act out, Riona suddenly smiled,
"Well, well, don't you look like a strong one."
Hearing her words, the man's smile widened,
"I see you have a good eye. How did you end up with a man like him in the first place?"
"Hmmm."
Riona started thinking.
"He killed the father of my daughter, then he seduced my daughter, and then finally he extended his clutches towards ."
The woman replied, and as she finished, everyone in the hall was staring at them.
Even the man standing in front of them was taken aback.
He ca in here as a bad guy, but hearing what Nux did, he wasn't sure who was worse.
Of course, the man also realized that it was his chance to get his hands on this beautiful woman; therefore,
"What a barbaric man."
"Indeed.
He is quite barbaric."
Riona nodded as she glanced at Nux with a playful look on her face.
Nux's mouth twitched continuously.
"You don't have to be scared. He cannot do anything to you here; I will protect you."
The man spoke.
"You will?" Riona questioned, her eyes filled with hope.
"Of course! My blood boils when I see such a barbaric man having his way with you."
Then suddenly, the man threw a piece of cloth at Nux, which he obviously avoided since it looked like it was drenched in sweat.
"You!
I challenge you to a duel in the Arena!
If you lose, you are to leave her in an instant!"
The man declared loudly, gathering the attention of everyone around.
Even the ones who were completely uninterested in the conversation a while ago.
After all, who would miss a free action-packed drama?
"Too botherso." Nux, however, was a buzzkill.
"Are you scar-"
Before the man could provoke him into fighting,
"Arena requires you to register, give details of both warriors, set a date, and all that."
Nux then glanced at the man and,
"Why go so far when we can skip all the formalities and settle it outside?"
"Huh…?" the man frowned.
"He wants you to follow him and fight it out outside."
Riona explained with a light, playful smile.
"…" The man narrowed his eyes.
He looked around before his eyes fell on 3 people sitting at a certain table.
The man montarily paused; Nux guessed that he was communicating with soone using so thod.
"Let's go."
Suddenly, the man spoke up.
"Wow, you are so brave~
I knew you were a great warrior the mont I saw you."
Riona praised, both her hands clenched together.
Nux, on the other hand, just walked out, and the man followed. As the two of them left, three more n walked out.
Riona, who saw them, couldn't help but shake her head.
How could she not see what they were trying to do?
Not that it mattered; all of them were Divines.
Honestly, with Nux's current level, you could bring thousands of Divines in front of him, and it wouldn't take more than a few seconds.
Of course, unlike her, others weren't too sure.
"You! What are you doing!?"
Arshia, who had rushed towards her the instant those 3 n left, shouted.
"You were just talking about how he was yours and whatnot! If you wanted to leave him, then you should have! Why are you making a scene!?"
"…"
Riona didn't know how to react.
"What are you silent for?
Do you even know who that man was!? And those 3 who left after them, all of them know each other! They are going to attack Nux together!
I swear to god, if sothing happens to him, I won't let you have an easy life!"
"You seem quite worried about him."
Riona chuckled.
"Of course I am! He is…"
"He is…?"
"He is my custor!"
"Ah right." Riona nodded.
"Then why don't you go and help him?"
"W-What…?"
Arshia stuttered.
"If you are so worried about your custor to go as far as threatening your other custor, shouldn't you go and help him before sothing happens to him?"
"How am I supposed to help him…?"
Riona chuckled at the response.
It was funny how soone who couldn't even step up was threatening a woman who spent more than 100 years unconscious because she protected the man they were talking about.
"You!"
Seeing Riona laugh, Arshia was enraged.
"It must have been your plan from the beginning!" she shouted.
"Yes, yes, now don't bother . You still have work to do. Go find the missions."
"You think I would do that for yo-"
"Arshia? Did you already bring the missions? That was much faster than I expected."
Suddenly, Arshia heard a voice; she turned around and noticed Nux walking in with a smile on his face.
"N-Nux! You are okay!"
Arshia spoke as she rushed towards him.
However, before she could get to him and hug him, she suddenly saw Riona standing next to him, once again, with her arms wrapped around his arm.
"H-Huh?"
Arshia stuttered.
She looked back to where the woman was standing.
"H-How did you…"
However, before she could continue,
"Hmm? Why do you look so surprised?" Nux tilted his head in confusion.
"She thought that those fou-"
"Nothing! Nothing!
I just ca here to tell you to wait a little longer, I will finish it as soon as I can! Please be patient!"
Arshia interrupted Riona.
"Sure, we will wait." Nux smiled.
Arshia then walked away, and once she did, Riona laughed out loud.
"You sure are enjoying yourself."
"Now I get why you like to play around so much." Riona chuckled.
"Don't pin this on . You started it.
I still can't forget how awfully you were acting; to think he fell for sothing like that.
Not to ntion you ruined my image before I could even build it.
I couldn't believe they called a sex fiend when the four of them surrounded because they were eyeing my wife."
