When Negotiation Fails, Resort to Threats@@novelbin@@

If negotiations fail, then threats.

And if threats don’t work, throwing a tantrum like that becomes the best option.

In that regard, the old man had something far more overwhelming than I did.

Which meant…

"He’s completely immature."

Even at his age, he hadn’t grown up at all—

Bang!

"Argh!"

Clutching the back of my head, I winced in pain.

"Why did you hit me all of a sudden?!"

"Your eyes were full of insults."

"When did I—!"

Damn it.

Should I start wearing a mask? How on earth did he know?

"Hmph."

Shin Noya dusted off the hand he had used to hit me and turned back to the turtle.

"So, hurry up and do it already."

"Your shamelessness knows no bounds…."

The turtle sighed deeply and pointed his staff in our direction.

"The duration will be three days by the Mangye standard."

"Excuse me?"

"If you move too vigorously, it may break, so be cautious."

"What are you talking about—?"

Before I could finish expressing my confusion,

Fwoooosh---!!!

The staff’s tip radiated a blinding light. Unlike before, when the light had been directed at the air, this time it was aimed straight at us.

"Ugh!?"

I instinctively shut my eyes against the dazzling brightness.

Was this an attack? Should I counter it? As I debated, the light began to fade.

When the brightness receded enough, I cautiously opened my eyes.

"It’s done."
