Master Vail gritted his teeth, barely holding back his anger as he faced the kid in front of him.
"You've got some nerve," he growled. "I spared your mutt's life and this is how you repay me? With disrespect?"
Charlie's smirk only fueled Master Vail's fury. The kid was cheap, so cheap it made him want to strangle him. But he knew better than to take things too far. He couldn't risk causing a scene in public, or worse, getting the police involved.
It was a delicate dance, trying to assert his dominance without going too far. Master Vail had a reputation to uphold, after all. But the more he tried to control his temper, the more it slipped through his fingers. Charlie had a way of getting under his skin like no one else.
Despite being an eight-star martial artist, he knew better than to cross the police in a bustling metropolis like Aurous Hill. He could take Charlie out with a single punch, no doubt about it. But the aftermath of such a violent confrontation would be messy, to say the least.
