Silence fell for a moment as the knight in the lead — a Boundless at D-rank — stared at the bandit leader: a muscular man radiating an overwhelmingly strong presence.
He furrowed his brow in anger and cursed internally,
'Damn it, he's strong. He's at the same rank as me, but I'm sensing a much greater threat from him.'
His gaze then shifted to the imposing woman beside the bandit leader, and he let out a frustrated sigh.
'That woman's no pushover either. If we fight them, we're not getting out unscathed. Damn it! If only I were allowed to raise the Baron's banner, they wouldn't have dared to attack us in the first place.'
