Grand Ancestral Bloodlines-Novel

Chapter 694 Mentally Deranged

Ryu almost choked on air. Was this what it felt like to be sexually harassed?

It wasn't just Ryu who was speechless, Ramir and those who recognized the title of Void Fairy were most definitely stunned as well. The only one who seemed to have expected this and was having the time of her life was Ailsa, if it wasn't for her cultivation she would have fallen off of Ryu's shoulder several times already. She was practically wheezing in her air at this point.

By this point, Ryu realized that there was only one explanation for all of these reactions. Logically, it was impossible that Yaana could carry such weight all on her own. The only way this would be possible was if there was someone of great standing who could affirm her status. In that case, it was highly likely that Yaana had a powerful master she hadn't told Ryu about.

Of course, that opened up another can of worms. For example, if Yaana's master was so fearsome, how is it that those members of the Necromancy Guild had dared to treat her the way the had? Clearly, everyone was aware of this truth except Ryu, it seemed.

Toward that, Ryu could only conclude that they thought they wouldn't be caught. In addition, with Sarriel's involvement, there was potential that they thought that even if they did get caught, they would have adequate backing.

Ryu still didn't know the story surrounding Sarriel. But, one potential answer is that she too was part of the Necromancer Guild. In that case, whatever powerful master Yaana could get, Sarriel could receive the better of.

Yaana was extremely talented, however objectively, she was a step below that of Ryu and Sarriel. If one took into account her reincarnation and the swift improvement of her Inheritances as a result, then she could just barely close the gap a bit, but it wouldn't' be enough to catch up.

This was all to say that whatever Yaana could do, Sarriel could definitely one up. That was just the harsh reality.

In that case, there may very well be people willing to offend Yaana's master for the sake of Sarriel. This wouldn't' be surprising or difficult to accept.

Yaana blushed profusely toward her own outburst, but her gaze remained firm and resolute. She had resolved herself a long while ago to corner Ryu if she had to. She refused to allow him to treat her like a little sister. The moment things went too far down that path, it would be impossible for her to turn back. So, she could only hold Ryu's feet to the fire.

Honestly, she had wanted to say husband. However, out of respect for Ailsa and Elena, she couldn't bring herself to go so far. That said, she also didn't want to take too far of a step back either. In the end, she settled on boyfriend.

As though to prove her point, she grabbed Ryu's hands and forced them to wrap around her. In the end, Ryu's own arms became his own shackles.

Ramir's expression darkened when he heard Yaana's words.

The good news was that the title of 'boyfriend' held functionally no weight in the martial world. It was essentially a position not recognized by either one of their families. In fact, it was a rare title to use in the martial world for exactly that reason.

The chastity of a woman was seen as too important to be wasted on a mere 'girlfriend' title. But, this was exactly where the bad news stemmed from.

The Void Fairy was willingly sullying herself with such a title all so that she could attach herself to this man. Not only did this stir the masculine ire of Ramir and many others, it filled them with indignance.

At that moment, a sweeping pressure descended from the skies.

The chatter of the crowd froze. There wasn't a single soul who didn't recognize the pressure of a World Sea Realm expert's aura.

Aberardus' gaze narrowed and he was about to step forward, but he suddenly stopped, a smile spreading across his face.

'This brat. I've wanted him to beg to join my Armament Guild for a long time but he dared to ignore this old man's face. Let's see how long you'll last without my help, then. That'll teach you.'

It was then that a voice boomed from the skies. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

"I will only ask this question once. Are you here representing Her Ladyship, Demuire? Or are you here representing yourself?"

The World Sea Realm expert didn't show himself. He found it to be beneath his dignity to appear just for a few juniors. But, it was obvious that nothing about this day was going to plan and these youths below were far too incompetent. If he didn't make a move himself, this would never end.

Ryu frowned.

His Frost Thunder Giant was almost immediately forced to its knees and Nemesis began to neigh uncomfortably. Yaana's delicate brow furrowed and she too felt greatly uncomfortable at that moment. It was clear that this person had only partially come here to reason, the larger part of their goal was to remind Ryu that this wasn't his territory.

However, Ryu didn't respond kindly to threats, even if they were well veiled beneath the guise of diplomacy.

"Why is it that everyone is so insistent on asking stupid questions? Has the Armament Guild really fallen so far?"

Aberardus choked on air, coughing violently to regain his bearings. He could only give a thumbs up in Ryu's direction. He could never imagine being so brazen in the face of a World Sea Realm expert when he was that young.

"I came here today to broaden my horizons and challenge the geniuses of the Armament Guild. I had originally wanted to tour the cities one by one and learn what I could from them all, but who could have expected that I would have hardly finished a trip through a single city when I would be met with a barricade.

"Now I'm being questioned left and right by one mentally deranged individual after another.

"You tell me, is the Armament Guild just afraid of fair challenges now?"
