I remained calm because I knew I could hahese guys easily. They were, at most, Level Two. My stats are incredibly high.

  "I'm the main member of the Hestia Familia. Or maybe I'm the captain? I'm not really sure what I am exactly."

  "And what's your retionship with Liliruca?"

  "She's my lover."

  "Huh?" Zanis couldn't believe what he'd just heard. "Your lover? Are you messing with me?"

  "Of course not. Liliruca is my woman, and I want to remove her from the Soma Familia t her into the Hestia Familia. Isn't it simple? I'm not looking for trouble—just making a request."

  Zanis stared at me for a few seds. "Pfft!" Thearted ughing. "Hahahahaha. Did you hear that? This guy said that filthy thing is his woman. He really thinks he take her out of this Familia."

  Watg Zanis' face twist as he ughed and hearing his words made me want to punch him. But I held myself back.

  "If you say something like that about Liliruca again, I'll kill you," I said calmly, smiling at Zanis. He realized I wasn't joking, stopped ughing, and took a few steps back.

  I guess my killing i was to.

  The two guards standing by his side stepped forward, drawing their swords.

  "I already said I don't want to cause trouble. I just want to talk to God Soma. I'm sure he'll accept my request."

  "Kill him!" Zanis wasn't willing to listen anymore.

  He ordered his men to attack me, and they charged simultaneously. But their movements were too slow. I easily dodged their swords, grabbed their heads, and smmed them into the ground.

  I hit hard enough to knock them unscious but not to kill them.

  As the two men passed out, I looked back at Zanis, who gritted his teeth nervously.

  "Help! We've got an intruder!" he yelled as he ehe house.

  "Damn it, you idiot. You've made this more annoying than it o be."

  I chased after Zanis and caught up to him in an instant. I kicked his legs, breaking one of them, and he colpsed to the floor.

  "Arghhh!!!" Zanis screamed in pain. "You bastard, I'll kill you! Someone, help!"

  "You're annoying. When you wake up, you won't have any trol over this Familia anymet ready to spend the rest of your life behind bars."

  "YOU SON OF A—!"

  I punched Zanis.

  His gsses shattered, and his teeth flew out of his mouth. His head hit the floor, leaving a gash that started to bleed.

  "Oops, did I kill him?" I mocked. Then I heard slow footsteps approag. The presence was faint, but I could tell it beloo someone powerful.

  "God Soma, it's a pleasure to meet you," I said, raising my head to look him in the eye.

  But our eyes didn't meet; his bck hair covered them.

  "Who are you?" Soma asked in a calm voice.

  "My name is Luan. I'm a member of the Hestia Familia. Sorry for the mess—I didn't mean to cause all this trouble."

  "..."

  "I came here to talk about Liliruot to fight. But that idiot made a big se for no reason."

  "..." Soma g Zanis, bleeding and toothless. "You nearly killed him."

  "My apologies for that."

  "Follow me."

  "What?"

  "You wao talk, didn't you? Then follow me."

  ####

  I followed God Soma without w that he might try something suspicious. We entered a dimly lit room with curtains c the windows. It was a meeting room with a rge table and a bookshelf.

  On the shelf, I noticed several bottles of alcohol.

  "You said your name is Luan, correct?"

  "That's right. I'm a member of the Hestia Familia."

  "And you're here to talk about Liliruca..."

  "Exactly. I'll be direct—I want Liliruca to leave the Soma Familia and join the Hestia Familia."

  "..." Soma stared at me silently for a few seds, then walked over to the shelf of bottles. He grabbed one and two gsses, pg them oable before filling them.

  It was wine.

  "Drink," Soma said.

  I took one of the gsses and, without hesitation, drank it all in one go. Unlike what Soma might have expected, I felt nothing. I was familiar with this wine, but it wouldn't affect me.

  I have the system, after all.

  Plus, I have the Abnormal Resistance skill. I'm not sure if it applies here, but I felt nothing.

  When I drank the wine like it was water, Soma seemed surprised. Then he poured me anss. I drank it, and he poured another. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

  "This wine is delicious, but I'm not going to get addicted to it," I said mogly. "So, we talk about Liliruow? I also tell you what Zanis has been up to—you should keep an eye on him."

  "You're the first person I've met who drink my wine so casually, as if it's nothing. You really don't feel anything?"

  "It's good wine, but nothiraordinary."

  "..." Soma's lips curled into a smile. "Very well. You wao talk about Liliruca, right? It's been a while since I've seen her… How is she?"

  "Lili's doing great. Happier than ever. I want you to release her from your Familia so she join the Hestia Familia. I want to take care of her."

  "I see… You care about her deeply."

  "Of course I do. So, what do you say?"

  "..."
