The expression on the cold leader's face switched slightly as he spotted the familiar figure.
"You… you're that lunaris beating kid."
"I prefer the title golden child, but lunaris beating kid sounds just right," Marlon responded with a shrug.
"What're you doing?"
Dagon turned to him with a fierce look on his face.
"I'm handling things," Marlon responded quickly. "You said I was here to prevent conflict, so I'm just doing my job."
Dagon frowned, but before he could respond, another voice cut in.
"If it's the kid doing the speaking, then I might listen."
The assailant leader spoke, making the frown on Dagon's face grow even colder, but he did not refute.
"Fine."
He let Marlon take care of things.
And so he did.
Although the boss put up a tough front, he was a secret fan of Marlon, and their conversation flowed smoothly with no malice involved.
