Chapter 19: Silver Bind (3)

“James, he’s not a bad person. You’re mistaken! Come on!”

Mino began to explain frantically.

“This person saved me! You know the Red Fox Clan, right? He killed them all single-handedly!”

“Killed the Red Fox Clan alone?”

“Yeah! He’s not suspicious!”

James looked at Jaehwan again. He seemed to have a good sword, but other than that, he looked like a beggar.

“…It makes him more suspicious, you know.”

“N-no, I mean… Hey! You should say something!”

Jaehwan narrowed his eyes at that. It seemed that he was also enjoying the moment. Mino sent a [Whisper].

[Come on! I was just joking around!]

Mino begged and Jaehwan answered, “She speaks the truth.”

Mino frowned.

“Please, explain in detail! Tell him how you killed them and where!”

Jaehwan did not answer and James scoffed. Another [Whisper] was sent to Jaehwan.

[Come on! Please! I’m sorry! I’m sorry, okay?]

Mino then saw Jaehwan focus on someone approaching. A powerful Spirit energy was approaching. It was the person that made her efforts useless.

It was a tall, fair-skinned, handsome man. Other than a silvery wing on his back, he looked just like a human.

The most stubborn one within the Gorgon Fortress.

Mino became grim as James brightened up.

“…What is going on here?”

It was Captain Karlton the Stubborn.

After hearing what happened, Karlton scratched his clean chin. It was his habit when he was thinking. He was famous not only for being stubborn but also for his handsomeness.

It was beautiful to see how he gently touched his chin with his blonde hair tied behind him. Some sculptors even sculpted Karlton touching his chin and sold them to the women in the fortress.

The most famous of all was [Karlton in deep thought].

But to Mino, he was just a stubborn, annoying gate Captain.

“So, Captain, he killed the Red Fox Clan…”

“Everything’s fine about the Red Fox Clan now. Thank you.”

Mino closed her mouth. The situation had gotten worse. Karlton asked Jaehwan, “So, you want to enter our fortress?”

“Yeah.”

“But you don’t have a Certificate.”

“Right.”

“Then you can’t enter.”

“Why?”

Karlton closed his mouth. Why was he asking the obvious? He couldn’t understand it. He had been doing this for over 55 years, and no one asked such an obvious question. It was just not possible. There was no reason for it. However, Karlton seemed happy to hear that question.

Mino slapped her forehead. It was time for ‘that’.

Karlton opened his mouth,

“If you cannot prove yourself with a Certificate, a Captain has the right to turn a visitor away. It is written in Chapter 27, the 4th Line of Gorgon- Entrance Code of Law. And according to Chapter 34…”
