90 Silas

Ryu didn't respond. He continued to adjust his mental state to the highest level. Even he wasn't foolish to take Third Order beasts lightly. While he was able to use 5% of his strength to defeat a Lower Third Order dire wolf, that was obviously impossible for higher order beasts. He needed to be prepared to go all out.

"No fun at all." Silas chuckled, not minding at all. "I wonder, though. How would the crowd react if they saw you at your lowest point like I have? Could the prestige of the Tor Clan withstand such a blow? What would the public think if they knew the reason why Fourth Prince Tor is such an unknown variable?"

Silas' words caught the attention of the crowd mostly because they were absolutely correct. While Ryu's attack on Amory's psyche had been mostly speculation, everyone here could attest to the fact that Ryu's name didn't resound like those of his elder brothers. But, clearly, he was an extremely talented individual.
