章節 498: Paws Off

Seeing Ryu's reaction, Balaur frowned. To him, Ryu was his torch bearer, the only thing that made him short of being his son was coming from his own loins. But even then, he might as well have. To the current Balaur, Ryu's safety was more important than anything else and might only fall slightly short of his duty to the Zu Clan. 

In an instant, he understood that Ryu was in some sort of danger. 

"What happened? Tell me every detail."

So that was what Ryu did. Though his heart had seized for a moment, he was ultimately Ryu Tatsuya. He understood from the very beginning that he had stepped into a matter far beyond his scope of understanding. The fact that something like this happened was more inevitable than anything else. In fact, if it hadn't happened, Ryu would be even more worried about something even worse coming later.
