A simple...discussion
One wave of her hand.
That is all it would take for Telana Corrada, an Aether Grandmaster, to just wipe out this contemptuous youth that just appeared out of nowhere next to her without saying a single word.
However, she did no such thing.
The fact that Zhen Liu appeared out of nowhere without setting off a single alarm, guard and even her own senses until this very moment made it very, very clear that there was more to this boy than meets the eye.
Additionally, it was known fact around town at this point that Zhen Liu's puppets took the form of accessories he wore on his person in obviously showy manners. Right now, he didn't have a single accessory on him.
It uneased her.
"Bribery, violence, or incompetence?"
"Pardon?"
