#143. Amon Family (3)
Hit— Hit—
The two men entered in silence and sat down on the sofa with natural movements.
A picture of three people, including Ray, facing each other around a round table.
Woorur─
The rest of the men followed and lined up behind the two men.
Ray looked at the men on both sides.
“fire.”
“Yes, here it is.”
Chick!
The one on the left appeared to be a high-ranking member of the Amon family, judging by the tattoo on his neck.
“Yeah, what about the kids?”
“They say he’s being brought in on a stretcher right now.”
The person on the right appeared to be a teacher.
Dark blue mana filled with rings.
One person immediately came to mind.
‘The wizard of the one-eyed glasses.’
The person who controlled the golem in sector 50.
Destroying the streets.
Niles’ organization was destroyed.
The one who killed Guldari’s younger brothers.
so.
The one who ultimately made me leave sector 50 in search of the rainbow.
An immense surge of murderous intent and anger rose within me, but it was fleeting.
‘… … .’
This was because he immediately recognized that his opponent was not a one-eyed wizard.
Not only was his appearance and first impression clearly different, but above all, he only had two rings.
‘… But still, the dark blue mana is a type that I have never seen in any other wizard’s rings, except for that of the one-eyed man.’
He may be a figure related to the wizard of the one-eyed glasses.
While Ray thought like that and sent a look of exploration.
Squeak─ Rattling!
The door closed and silence fell.
Phew─
The Amon Family’s superior looked at Ray and his master while smoking a cigarette.
It seemed as if they were waiting for two people to start a conversation first.
And the first one to open his mouth was.
“Let me introduce myself first.”
He was a person who was presumed to be a master.
He looked at Ray and spoke in a calm voice.
“I am a magician named Binjin. I devote myself to studying the science of magic and training my disciples. However, I heard that my disciples were very rude to you today.”
It was the most respectful title.
Even though the age difference is clearly at least 30 years.
“I apologize on behalf of my disciples. I think I made an arbitrary decision to attack you, the wizard, because I thought you were an enemy of the Amon family.”
You can’t help but be cautious.
You must have heard reports that ten disciples were rendered helpless.
“I told them to report anything unusual as soon as they found it, but since they are young and full of energy, it’s not easy to completely control their actions.”
Binjin bows his head politely.
Even if anyone could see it, the lines and actions conveyed a sincere feeling of apology─
‘lie.’
─The opponent was Ray.
There was not a shred of regret or guilt in the other person’s bowl.
Also, other types of emotions also showed very little tremor.
This meant that Binjin was a man who was very good at lying.
“It is my fault for not managing my disciples well. I would appreciate it if you could be lenient.”
Ray was quick to read the types of emotions contained in his opponent’s vessel.
Curiosity. Interest. Anticipation.
Alert. Suspicious. A little nervous.
… and malice.
As I glanced to the side, I could see that the higher-ups of the Amon family also harbored ill intentions towards me.
but.
It’s not blatant yet.
The boy’s eyes quickly scanned his son-in-law.
Behind the superior, the hands of six members of the organization are ready to reach into their arms and take out guns at any moment.
Behind Binjin, the rings of three 1st circle magicians are furiously spinning mana.
If the numbers are wrong, an attack will start at any time with a signal.
“… … .”

I also feel the gaze.
It’s not just this side that’s observing.
A superior in a smoking organization.
Binjin, who hasn’t raised his head yet.
The two men appear to be focused on their own actions at first glance, but their eyes are constantly shining in this direction.
…a familiar look.
To measure, to judge, to dissect.
Thoughts are readable.
You don’t have to tell me.
How strong is it?
Where did it come from?
What is the purpose?
How many circles of wizards are there?
Where does this boy belong?
Is it a size that can be swallowed in one go?
Is this someone you can eat without getting sick?
I know.
The moment they judge you to be even slightly lower on the food chain, they will not hesitate to barge in and attack you, fangs exposed.
Ray felt the need to start by organizing the order of things─
“It’s not the disciples’ fault, it’s yours.”
─He spat it out without hesitation.
For a moment the air stirred.
No one opened their mouths, but they exchanged bewildered glances, and the superior of the Amon family looked this way with great interest.
Binjin’s head slowly rose.
“Yes, that’s right. The disciples’ mistakes are my mistakes.”
“Are you deaf? Or are you just stupid? You know that’s not what I meant.”
The corners of Binjin’s mouth twitched.
It was the moment when his true emotions were revealed on his face, which had been covered in pretense.
Ray, who didn’t miss the signal, continued to attack.
“You were the one who ordered the raid in the first place.”
“I thought this little brat was going to treat me a little better…!”
“stop.”
Binjin, who raised his hand to stop the attendant, stared at Ray with sharp eyes.
“It is a clear fact that my disciples were the first to make a mistake, so I treated them with courtesy, but I am also very perplexed when you speak with such conviction based on your wicked delusions.”
Anger, irritation, discomfort.
Malice that slowly blossoms.
Emotions that have expanded greatly in Binjin’s bowl.
However, the calmness at the center kept them all under steady control.
‘A mentally mature person.’
Good at self-control.
In addition, the colorful colors of old emotions engraved throughout the bowl proved that he had a wealth of life experience.
A difficult type of person to deal with.
A snake-like being that will try to swallow you whole whenever it sees an opening.
‘Negotiation, bargaining, those methods are not efficient.’
There is only one way to deal with this.
To destroy malice by causing ripples in the emotional line through overwhelming force.
But ordinary force may not be enough to cause much disturbance.
A wide range of life experiences.
A person who possesses a considerable level of magical knowledge and erudition.
The type of violence that can cause fear in such a person is… .
“By the way.”
Then Binjin continued speaking.
“We came here to talk. To resolve any misunderstandings and to apologize for any mistakes we made. But… if you come out with such an impertinent attitude─”
A moment of choosing your breath.
“─I would like to inform you that we have no choice but to use our strength. There are other disciples waiting outside right now. They are far more experienced and skilled in battle than the ten who have disrespected the wizard. Let’s see, let’s count their numbers…”
Binjin folded his fingers one by one in a gesture that seemed very intentional.
“Including myself and my three disciples in this room, there are a total of 16 wizards in this building. Can you handle it?”
“That’s right, Master. I’ll make sure to explain the hierarchy to that ignorant guy─!”
At that moment.
Hoooow──!
Without warning, a strong wind blew behind the performer’s back.
It was the result of Ray magically manifesting the mana in the room at that location.
Because of this, no one in the room noticed the process of fusion of elements.
“Huh, huh?”
There was no time to respond.
The performer, whose back was blown by the wind, collapsed next to Ray’s sofa.
In the process.
widely!
Ray grabbed one of his arms and forced him to kneel.
“What, what! You won’t let go of this─ Aaaah!”
The practitioner, who was about to swear at Ray, suddenly began to writhe with a painful scream.
The element of destruction injected into the forearm passed through the shoulder and chest and arrived at the ring.
“AAAAAH──! AAAAAH──!”
Element of destruction.
A black orb containing complete darkness, seemingly a hole in the air due to the absence of light and dark.
The tiny sphere the size of a fingernail moved leisurely within the ring.
Every time.
──────.
The ring disintegrated into black particles and disappeared, and the fuse grew shorter and shorter as it burned out.
“Ah …
The performer struggled, but Ray’s hand holding his arm was as solid as iron and did not budge.
Cold sweat covered my whole body.
In order to survive, I instinctively tried to use any magic I could.
However, mana was pouring out of the destroyed ring and was out of control.
Every time, the fear and terror inside the bowl grew louder and louder.
“Ah …
Destruction of the ring.
It was, arguably, the most brutal and overwhelming form of violence a wizard could ever encounter.
────────!
The ring activated with all its might, like a last spark before it goes out.
Because of this, all the wizards in the room could sense the ring’s disappearance process in detail, even if they did not want to.
“S, Master, Khan’s ring…!”
“Oh, my God, what the heck is that…!”
Binjin’s disciples, the three remaining disciples, looked at their colleagues with trembling eyes.
Their emotions, entangled in the bowl, were so complex that it was difficult to describe.
The relief that it wasn’t me who was in that place.
The fear of unknown violence encountered for the first time in one’s life.
The fear that if you try to help a colleague, you might end up in the same situation.
Such a multitude of emotions, although their volume may be somewhat small.
‘… … !’
These were the kinds of things that their teacher, Bin Jin, felt the same way.
dump!
“Ugh… haeuugh… .”
The disciple, released from Ray’s hands, fell to the floor, groaning heavily.
I concentrated as usual, but I couldn’t gather even a handful of mana.
It was a natural thing.
Because without the ring on his chest, he was no longer a wizard.
“Ah …
He screamed for a long time, unable to believe the reality that had befallen him.
thud!
He rolled his eyes and fainted.
… … .
… … .
A cold silence flowed.
No one opened their mouths, no one dared move a body.
step.
“The question from earlier.”
Except for one person.
“I think it’s probably me who should do it.”
The boy’s flat voice mingled with the ticking of the clock.
A terrible sense of unreality filled the room.
Tick-tick-
At that moment, everyone in the room felt as if their bodies and heads were going to explode.
“Really! Really! Amazing! Even a fellow wizard can render an opponent helpless like this!”
The Amon family’s superior clapped his hands and stood up from his seat.
“Honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone with such an intense aura.”
He was an ordinary person.
Because of this, it was not known exactly what level of impact the destruction of the ring had.
but.
It was clear that Bin Jin and his disciples had been defeated without even being able to raise a hand.
I was feeling the intense murderous intent that the boy was emitting just as clearly as everyone else.
He took out his business card and handed it over.
“It’s late, but let me introduce myself formally. I am a businessman who runs a small organization called the Amon Family in the eastern part of Sector 37.”
Ray glanced down.
I looked at the name Amon written on the business card.
