“…”

Looking at the portrait held up in front of him, Shane frowned tightly without saying a word.

The man across from him looked coldly at Shane.

“You’ve seen this person, haven’t you?”

The person asked again.

“Who are you?”

Shane ignored the man’s question and instead asked this.

Yet the man paid no attention to Shane’s inquiry.

“You’ve seen this person, haven’t you?”

The man’s voice became even colder than before.

This made Shane’s brow furrow even deeper, and his mood started to sour.

The man’s attitude clearly showed he didn’t care about Shane, or anyone else for that matter, acting stubborn and self-centered.

However, it wasn’t out of arrogance or pride, but simply because he loathed everything here, which was why he adopted such an attitude.

In other words, he ignored Shane not because he thought himself superior, but because he didn’t want his eyes sullied by things he despised.

Nevertheless, this kind of behavior was infuriating.

“What if I say I haven’t seen her, what would you think?”

At that moment, Shane crossed his arms and stared at the man, saying this.

“You’ve seen her.” The man remained unflinching, calmly saying, “There is residual magic power on you from her. Either you’ve been in close contact with her, or you’ve fought her recently.”

Presumably, this was why the man had stopped and engaged in conversation with Shane.

That “Is it you?” opener should have been, “Are you the one she came in contact with here?”

Shane didn’t deliberately hide the truth.

“Indeed, I fought with her.” Shane nodded in acknowledgment while also smiling, “But, so what?”

To this question, the man had only one response.

“Where?”

The man went straight to the point.

“How should I know?”

Shane was even more direct, throwing this answer back.

“Don’t know?” The man looked coldly at Shane, “You can’t possibly not know.”

“Really?” Shane replied sarcastically, “And what makes you think I would know?”

The man suddenly fell silent, but his eyes and expression grew increasingly impatient.

“Where is she?”

The man’s attitude was no longer just one of disdain but now also included a warning and a murderous intent.

With the Skill of “Magic Perception,” Shane could sense that the man was already summoning his magic power.

Which meant he was likely to attack at any moment.

Faced with this situation, Shane wanted to say only one thing,

“She’s at your grandmother’s.”

Shane casually insulted the man’s family.

The man fell silent again.

However, the air around them started becoming heavy.

The man stared intently at Shane, as if considering whether or not to make a move.

Shane, on the other hand, maintained a smile, though his eyes showed no hint of humor, as if he too was considering whether or not to fight.

After all, Shane merely feared trouble, not conflict.

If it came to an argument, Shane would cut him down to the point he wouldn’t recognize his own mother.

If it came to a fight, Shane wouldn’t flinch at all.

Besides, he still wanted to test the effects of the Magical Sword, so if this pretentious guy dared to strike, Shane would definitely show him just how red flowers could be.

Of course, Shane thought, the more likely scenario was that the fight wouldn’t happen.

Not to mention they were in the town, and if they dared to brawl openly, the problems with the Knight Order would arise, especially considering that since the man’s goal was finding someone, he likely wouldn’t want to alert the target.

If things got out of hand and scared the target away, it would be more trouble than it was worth.

Therefore, the fight probably wouldn’t happen.

As expected…

“I won’t forget you.”

The man coldly tossed this sentence, then turned to leave.

But at that moment, Shane moved.

“Boom!”

With a dull thud, Shane suddenly sprang up and delivered a heavy kick to the man’s back just as he turned around.

“Guh…!?”

The man groaned, catching him off guard, and Shane’s kick sent him flying, crashing him to the ground.

Around them, citizens gasped and panicked.

But Shane ignored all of it, paying no attention to the surrounding cries and commotion, as he leaped onto the man before he could react.

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”…

Among the continuous dull thuds, Shane straddled the man, swinging his fists left and right, pummeling the man’s face.

“What’s with the act?”

“What’s with the act?”

“Act more!”

“Fuck!”

Shane seemed possessed by a furious spirit, relentlessly swinging his fists, one punch after another.

“Gaah…! Ah…!”

The man could only muster cries of pain, instinctively raising his hands to block, his mind blank, apparently never expecting things to take such a sudden turn.

But Shane had only one thing to say…

“Acting as if you’re the lord of heaven and earth, like the whole world owes you something, then talking big and trying to run?”

“Go ahead and run!”

“This fight can’t happen? Afraid of alarming the target?”

“Then don’t fight, let me hit you instead, and I’ll help alert the target for you, how do you like that?”

“Don’t want to make a scene? Then I’ll make one!”

“Go on, keep acting for me!”

Shane kept cursing and swinging his fists, mercilessly smashing into the man’s face.

“Sto… stop! You…!?”

Finally, the man reacted, feeling the pain on his face and hearing Shane’s harsh insults, his anger and frustration exploded.

“Boom!”

An astonishing surge of magic power burst from the man’s body.

The magic power swept out like a storm, causing the surrounding pedestrians to panic even more, screaming in fear and fleeing in a rush.

But Shane not only didn’t back away, he raised his fist again.

“Buzz!”

Amidst the buzzing tremor, Shane’s fist shone with magic power manifesting as a red light.

At that moment, Shane used the technique of the Magical Sword, gathering magic power in his fist, forming a glow of magic power.

Then Shane punched down.

“Boom!!!”

The explosive sound of thunder echoed.

The man, whose entire body was erupting with incredible magic power, was slammed into the ground by Shane’s red-glowing fist, shattering the road below, burying him in rubble and dust.

Several meters around him collapsed in a burst, forming a pit, with cracks continuously spreading outward.

Shane leaped out of it.

“Phew, finally relieved.”

Dusting off his clothes, Shane appeared refreshed and satisfied.

And in that pit, the man had fallen unconscious, completely losing consciousness.
