章 151: Meeting With Ralyks [Pt 2]

"W-what do we want…?"

Conrad found himself stuttering for a moment due to the suddenness of the question, but he quickly corrected himself.

He never expected this man to be so straightforward.

Even for an Adventurer—one whose name wasn't even well-known—he was being quite bold.

"I believe I already told your guard over there the details of my actions. I also informed him that I do not need any reward." Ralyks said very calmly.

His voice wasn't imposing, but it wasn't respectful either.

He was just terribly blunt—saying things without a filter, or regard for who he said them to.

Conrad didn't realize when he started to respect him.

"The reason you two, esteemed members of the Royal Council, would want to meet with me is because you want something." He emphasized his point and drew closer.

"So what do you want?"

Conrad felt pressure unlike anything else he had ever experienced until now.
