The Author's POV

Chapter 301

"Wait, isn't that..."

The moment the black hooded figure removed his hood, I was left sitting in shock.

The drink in my hand dropped on the counter, and my mouth hung wide up.

'How?'

I wondered to myself as I sat there in a daze.

"Hiiik."

In the meantime, the dwarf that was picking a fight with the hooded figure quickly sobered up and dragged his friends out of the tavern.

He realized that he had messed with the wrong person.

Staring at the dwarf that had just left, I turned my attention back to the hooded figure who once again covered his features with the hood.

Standing up, I walked in his direction.

"May I sit?"

I asked whilst looking at him from above.

Lifting his head, the hooded figure's cold voice rang through my ear.

"Didn't I say that I wanted to drink in peac—"

Mid-sentence, the hooded figure paused. His eyes widened a little bit.

"hmm, you're also a human?...so young as well."

"Yeah."

I casually put my drink on the table.

"So, can I sit?"

"No, I still want to be left in peace."

The black-hooded figure still shook his head.

Ignoring him, I still sat down and took a sip of the ale.

"Ugh, bitter."

The result was me putting on a bitter face.

Seriously, the ale was just too bitter.

"You have a lot of balls."

"...not really"

I murmured thoughtlessly.

For the most part, I was a coward.

Unless forced to, I would never do something that would end up putting my life at risk.

If not for the fact that I was sure that the hooded figure before me would not hurt me, I would've never have approached him.

"Knowing the extent of my abilities, you still approaching me. Don't think that just because you're human, I won't touch you."

He warmed.

In response to his threat, I shrugged my shoulders.

"Mhm, I'm not that stupid."

"Since you know, I'll give you ten seconds; if you don't leave in that amount of time, I'll forcefully remove you."

Putting his cup down, the hooded figure started counting.

"1...2..."

Eying the hooded figure from the side of my eyes, I lazily stood up.

Pretending to be downcast, I muttered out loud.

"Well, I just wanted to say that I used to be good friends with your daughter, Emma. But it seems like I'm unwanted."

"...3—huh?"

The man abruptly stopped counting.

Then, standing up and grabbing me by the collar, his voice raised.

"What did you just say?"

His cold voice sent shivers down my spine.

Still retaining my composure, raising both hands in the air I replied with a slight smile.

"Emma Roshfield, your daughter. I know her."

That's right.

The hooded figure before me was Emma's father, Waylen Roshfield, mayor of Ashton city and Vice-director of the Union.

'...Union.'
