Arthur, who had been silent, finally turned his gaze to Jameson, thinking that his words were quite funny.
While it was reasonable enough to make his aunt mad at Amanda, that was unfortunately only true in the past, now it was impossible.
"No need to do that, it's useless," he said and he threw the bone tucked inside the mutton he ate at his face. It landed right on his forehead and stuck like it was rubber.
"You..." The man opened his mouth, then pointed at Arthur with a trembling hand.
"Son, where are your manners?" he asked out loud. "Don't think because of your aunt, I'm afraid to teach you a lesson, she may be influential, but we are not skinny horses either, we are fat camels."
"Just a camel, one punch is enough," Arthur replied. His fist moved swiftly, hitting his cheek, causing him to fall again.
Alan and the two middle-aged men couldn't believe what they were seeing — a young man hitting a billionaire. They quickly searched the Internet for Isabel's name, wanting to know who she was because they were from America, not knowing the names of most European officials.
"Boy, what are you doing, hitting an elder, don't you know the law and manners?" The model accompanying Jameson finally stepped forward. She naturally couldn't continue to watch her boss being harmed. No matter what, it was he who fed her and a life of luxury.
"He said it's a lawless place," Arthur replied without looking at her and then looked at the red-haired woman who had entered the restaurant, Rose.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes as he discovered the woman had actually succeeded.
When everyone noticed his arrival, they stared at her. It seemed they all knew who she was, so no one dared to look at her in a flashy manner.
"Boss, the time is almost here, the others are still training, so I will accompany you," Rose said, looking at Arthur so that people immediately came to the conclusion that Arthur was her boss.
The problem is; how is that possible?
She is a member of the mercenary army who has no affiliation with anyone. They move freely and others have to pay a heavy price for their help. It was of course just cooperation, so they didn't call the person who paid them using the word boss.
Alan exchanged glances with the two middle-aged men, he was thankful that he was still smart not to act rashly.
As for Jameson, he opened and closed his mouth, quietly moving backwards to the side.
Even to him, the mercenaries that Hunter led were a terrifying group as they had actually experienced many wars. If they hadn't opted out of the military, it wouldn't be surprising if by now some of them had at least one star on their shoulders.
Only, he couldn't help but be confused. No matter how he thought, he couldn't make a connection between Isabel who was a congresswomen and the mercenary group.
"Unless she has some very hidden depths," he speculated and it horrified him somewhat.
Although the one called boss by Rose was Arthur, Jameson believed he was just some kind of representative, after all, he was still young, there was no way he could be the mastermind, only Isabel could be.
"Wait for me to finish," Arthur replied before continuing to eat.
Hearing that, Rose looked at the number of plates on the table and showed a strange expression.
She wondered if she would also need to eat that much later because in the note Arthur had written, it was stated that after she became a knight, her food requirements would increase several times.
At the same time, Alan, Jameson and two others choose to leave the restaurant because they are starting to feel insecure.
Now, apart from Arthur and the others, only the chef remained. He stopped his work after receiving payment from Alan and the others, then sat at the side and took out his cell phone.
At first glance, he looks like he's just opening social media, but he's actually sending a message to someone.

About fifteen minutes later, Arthur, Amanda and Rose left the restaurant. The former walked in the middle while each of the two women followed on his left and right, enough to attract the attention of the crowd as it was a rare sight.
They headed towards the building with the big door. When they arrived there, there were already quite a number of people gathered, they entered it one by one after swiping their Credit Cards.
By Arthur's estimation, there were at least a hundred people, belonging to various nationalities. That's a hefty sum considering where this place is and the price of admission. Just by relying on the price of admission, the organizers might earn more than other martial arts events.
When it was finally Arthur's group's turn, and Amanda was about to take out her Credit Card, a man in his early 30s, wearing a black suit and cold face suddenly came up to them.
"Wait, lady, you don't have to pay," he said.
"Oh?" Amanda hesitated a bit while Rose said, "actually, it doesn't matter if you charge her because she's not one of us,—except our boss." She glanced at Arthur, as if to confirm to him that she and her brother were now working for him.
Actually, she knew that the chef was sending messages to those people underground because she knew that he was one of their spies. However, she chose not to stop him because from the start, when she chose to call Arthur boss in public, she already knew that he had no plans to hide this fact. The reason for that was because at that time, Arthur had really not signaled to her.
If it was someone else, she could speculate they had forgotten, but Arthur was a magus. Plus, according to her observations so far, she had come to the conclusion that he was very thorough. One example is that he even brought his harpies from Vera here. While chatting with Amanda, she just found out about it so she realized that he was ready to force Hunter if he didn't agree.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
