"Prostrate before her and beg for her forgiveness until she forgives you, and I will retrieve my red notice to the public."
". . ." Ren thought that he had misheard him, but the seriousness on Serius's face told him otherwise.
He really thought that Serius was a man with a heart of steel and ruled his kingdom with an iron fist. But just with a word from his daughter, he would retrieve what he had already said to the public. Him? A man whose words were law?
This ironed Ren's belief that Serius didn't take his group, World Conqueror, seriously. He didn't take him seriously.
Ren would have preferred to be blackmailed into joining Black Lion, or challenged to defeat a world boss and bring back rare items. At least then, Serius would be acknowledging his strength in the game.
But no—Serius was treating him like a joke, a boy whose fate was decided by a sixteen-year-old. In his eyes, Ren was nothing but his daughter's plaything.
