Chapter 122: Changed Bella and Questioning

"Excuse me… but who are you?" I asked, and I saw her lips purse and her eyes slightly water. 

After a few seconds of awkward and a touch of tense silence, Bella just looked at the floor after handing me my tea and said, 

"Bella. My name is Bella Wony. Nice to meet you," She said before sitting down on a chair that was next to the head's desk. 

She just sat there, feeling a mix of emotions: anger, sadness, confusion.

She went through a lot in just a few mere seconds, and I could also tell the head of the family already didn't like me. 

"So, why did you call us here? You could easily overwhelm and kill us if you wanted to, but you haven't done that already, so you must have a reason," I spoke up first while leaning forward in my chair. 

"That is correct. I called you here because I wanted to hire you all as a type of mercenaries?" The head replied as his gentle aura from before slowly shifted into a more serious one.
