Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 119

As Eisen turned around and looked at the group of Omega Players in front of him, standing in the center of the street.

With a light smile, the old man fixed his tie and stepped forward while scratching his beard. "Hello there, what may be the problem?" He asked, possibly with light provocation in mind. And as such, Merc could barely hold back his anger.

"What's the fucking problem? You not only killed nearly all of my products, but even fucking stole two of them!" The Combat Merchant yelled out as he was glaring at Kiron and Sky, the latter simply hiding behind Eisen to avoid the stares.

But Eisen looked back at him and moved his hand through the Fey-Kin boy's hair before pointing him to stand beside his sister. After all, Sky was only level 15. Eisen then turned to Kiron. "Just curious, but do you know swordsmanship?"

Quickly, the half-dragon nodded, before Eisen quickly handed him the Zweihänder that he had been carrying all day. "Go ahead and use this, then. You should be able to use it better than me, just in case. Keep it wrapped up for now, until they do something." Eisen whispered, and his Knight quickly nodded.

"Yes, M'Lord." He replied, and this small conversation made Merc just angrier.

"God fucking dammit, could you stop ignoring me?! You know who I am, so why are you fucking with-"

But Merc was quickly interrupted by his brother who glared to the side and held his arm in front of him.

"I said to stop swearing. We had a deal. If you don't follow my conditions, I will not help you." Cial told Merc off, who then simply started grinding his teeth as he stepped back a slight bit, before Cial chose to walk up to Eisen.

"Hello Sir, I have heard that you caused a little bit of trouble for my brother. Don't worry, nothing will happen as long as you give Merc his products back and pay for those you destroyed. We can work out a payment plan if you do not have the mon-"

Before Cial even finished that sentence, Eisen sighed loudly as he shook his head. "Listen, those 'products' that you are talking about are living creatures. On top of treating them absolutely horribly, he even had two half-people. Both of them have one parent that is a person, not a monster. I do not regret what I have done, and I would do it again. Now leave us alone. Turn around, take those men with you, and never talk to us again. Don't worry, nothing will happen as long as you just leave." Eisen told him with an obviously fake smile. For a while, Cial stared at him with a face that slowly grew angrier, before he broke out in laughter.

"Well, you are correct that nothing will happen to us, but we will take those two with us. Or rather, how about we take all of them? That girl there seems to be a half-monster just like that boy, is that not right? And the other two there are obviously monsters. The golden wolf may be useful as well. And don't worry, I am sure we will be able to treat them much better than you would ever be able to." Cial exclaimed in a mocking voice. Eisen wasn't sure if he really meant what he just said or if he was just trying to rile Eisen up. If it was the latter, it was definitely working.

Watching the whole thing happen, Bree grabbed Sky's arm and dragged him away while trying to tell Kiron to step back a bit as well. Confused, Sky looked at his sister. "What are you doing? You don't just want to leave, do you?" He protested, but quickly, Bree shook her head. "No, I'm not leaving, just... getting a little bit further away... Because Eisen is getting angry..." She quietly said, while Sky kept looking at her confused.

While Sky was trying to figure out what Bree meant, Eisen apparently chose to demonstrate.

With a soft smile, Eisen got closer to Cial, far closer than anyone would be comfortable with, and looked down at the young man. "Let me rephrase. I'm not asking you to leave, I'm telling you to. Get off your high horse. You may think that you're better than me, for whatever reason, but I can quite easily tell you that you are not. Not in the slightest. So just leave." Eisen said in a commanding voice, before Cial began to shake his head.
