Chapter 56: Trial By Combat 1

"You!" Kyros barked. "You have no right to speak to me like that! I'm an Enforcer of the Hightower," he shouted at Daniel. The only thing that would make Kyros angry like this was if someone doubted his ability.

Daniel just smiled and didn't try to retort or defend himself. Instead, he turned to Maria.

"Maria, what is the highest punishment for infringing on a Mage ID?" Daniel asked.

"Mr. Montgomery," Daniel called out to the nervous man attempting to make himself invisible.

"Ye... Yes, Mr. Magitek?" Montgomery stammered, surprised by the sudden attention.

"Please use my auction money to settle the fine for me, Mr. Kyros," Daniel instructed, turning towards Kyros.

"I accept your accusation, and Mr. Montgomery will arrange payment. Additionally, please give me a copy of the recipe. I need to go back now; I still have three custom orders to fulfill," Daniel stated calmly.
