Bab 348: The Crimson Mage [Pt 2]

"What did you just say?" Serah said in a murderous tone, moving her attention from Puck.

As relieved as I had expected the man to be, thanks to the fact that his superior wasn't going to punish him, he contradicted it.

His eyes contained extreme dissatisfaction, and I could tell that he wanted me to stop.

'Is he worried about me?'

"Jared, what are you doing?" My father whispered, looking at me with wary eyes.

Even my mom was mouthing the word "No" to me.

It would appear that my actions had more consequences than I had initially thought.

"This guy… just because Neron thinks highly of you doesn't give you the right to run your mouth!" Her glare was on me now.

'Did I make a mistake?'

Perhaps I should have just kept quiet. However, I had come this far already.

Fortunately, many eyes were back on me. The goal was to divert the attention to my person. Serah was disrupting that, which made her a nuisance…

… An extremely powerful one at that.
