"Yeah, remember what I told you in the beginning when we first met," Orel waved his hand while maintaining a slight smile.
"Agh...?" Adam was stumped. The first time they met, Orel had just knocked him out in a few punches. Then, he passed out and saw only darkness.
Orel shook his head. "Oh, boy. Risha lost to you, her fate depended solely on you. You chose to kill her and it was going to happen. But, I stepped in and stopped you. At the Lower Ring, that's frowned upon. My payment for that act was that you two are still alive."
Adam and Silvana gulped. During their long conversation, they forgot that they were strangers to the Lower Ring. Orel had the right to kill them at any time, either for attacking his little sister or for trespassing on the Red Bears' territory.
Sure, after everything that happened it was unlikely that Orel would take it upon himself to attack them, but he had the opportunity to do so - that was the most important thing.
