Chapitre 339: Bidding

Guiot felt as though he was being suffocated by the display alone. Something deep within his soul roared as what was left of Pascal's subordinates died one after another without even the ability to fight back.

For a moment, Guiot felt frozen in time. Those strikes, though it was subtle… They were nearly identical to his own.

After some silence, Guiot suddenly understood. Without words, Ryu was telling him that he would shoulder the burden of Pascal's death himself.

Karma and Faith. These were two concepts that held a strangle hold on the martial world and its inhabitants. There were none who understood this more than Ryu himself who could peer into their secrets as he pleased.

He hadn't done this to make Guiot owe him, but had rather done so to protect himself. Guiot may have killed Pascal, but he was only forced to do so due to Ryu's actions. If Ryu had never acted, Guiot would have never become a target to begin with.
