The residents fled after seeing Derek Everyone knew Derek, the notorious loan shark who dominated Anail's back alleys
Ian looked around There didn't seem to be any escape path for him to take Derek's
What should he do? Ian's eyes sunk
Derek and his five people Not only that, but Derek was er than the rest of his people It was best not to fight
”Derek, it's best that you don't fight me”
”Why do you think that?”
“Do you have the confidence to stop Hoyt's anger?”
He mentioned Hoyt Derek's failure to harm the Thompson family was entirely due to Hoyt However, unlike his expectations, Derek smiled quietly
Ian became uncomfortable Derek's smile and laid back behaviour was the exact opposite of what he iined Ian expected hier than that His strength was like a warrior, exuding a sharp atmosphere that Ian had never felt before
Ian realized that the situation was going out of control Now he had to gamble
Derek raised his sword
“You won't be going alone, so don't worry”
He laughed and imitated Ian's words
“Young Man, it would be best if you didn't fight back”
Ian could feel Ray's hands treet help from Stella, whom he met in Anail, but she wasn't connected
It was a dile was Ray For his survival, Ian had to retreat
Ian whispered to Ray, “Hold on tightly to my neck”
”Huh…?”
Ian lifted Ray up and placed hirabbed his neck as Ian rushed backwards It was in the opposite direction of Derek The subordinates gathered in the direction of Ian's escape He needed to defeat the one in front of hiathered
However, the underling was different fro his sword and slowed Ian down As Ian stopped, the other underlings caught up Ian was once again surrounded and the siege was narrowed further
Beyond thele, the result is the same”
”……”
Ian decided to buy some time
“No matter how dirty a loan shark is, you shouldn't act unfairly”
”Unfairly…?”
”Yes, Derek Let’s have a fair 1 on 1 fight,” Ian said
Derek burst out laughing
”Puhahaha What are you saying, Orc?”
“Derek is a thoroughly practical person Do you think that I would speak nonsense?”
“Have a 1 on 1 with your friends in heaven Kilkil”
Derek's mouth rose
“…Hrmm”
Ian ignored the underlings and told Derek
“Surely you aren't scared of a 1 on 1 fight?”
”What an interesting friend”
Ian didn't expect hiree to the blatant provocation, but Derek abruptly nodded
”Okay”
His subordinates' eyes widened
“Boss…?”
“Why, do you have no confidence?”
”Me?”
”Yes”
Derek placed a knife at the neck of an underling and said, “Surely Derek's men aren't afraid of an orc…?”
”Ah, no!”
“So fight him Alone”
”Yes, yep!”
Derek's subordinate vigorously nodded his head and pulled out his sword as he stepped forward Ian put Ray dohile ignoring the o in the back of his mind
”Ray, stay back If there is a gap, then run away”
”Mister…”
”Don't worry Don't you believe in an orc warrior?”
Ian laughed Ray's face became tearful It was a familiar scene
'Ray, don't you believe in Father?'
His father Tho the same remark as Ian He still hadn't come back Ray wanted to hold onto Ian, but he was alreadyat Derek's subordinate with his sword
”Mister…”
The battle began Ian came out first He tried to draw the opponent to his side, but the person stepped back because he felt the incredible atth
This was fortunate for Ian Ian just wanted to buy some ti Ian moved forith no substance in his attacks The opponent kept avoiding Derek's expression hardened as he saw both of them
“How boring,” Derek muttered
Then the expression on the face of the underling changed
”Uhh…Uaaaah!”
The opponent rushed at Ian, who stepped back to avoid the incoed, but the battle was a repetition of the previous one
Derek burst out laughing
