Soon, the two strange men stopped right in front of Kai, staring at him like they knew him from somewhere beforehand.
"Can I help you?" Kai asked, his voice calm and collected.
Carlotta, on the other hand, didn't waste any time before she grabbed him by the arm, basically pressing his arm on her chest right in front of the two men.
And for some reason, that seemed to anger them even more.
One of them gripped the handle of his knife tightly, fighting the urge to stab Kai where he was standing then and there.
The onlookers who were simply passing ignored them completely, but Kai could still catch them throwing glances his way sometimes.
After what seemed like forever, one of the mercenaries finally spoke.
"Do you have any idea who I am, huh?"
Kai stared at him.
"No. I do not believe we have met before."
His words settled for a while.
