Nick took a single step forward, planting himself firmly between Marco and the iron faced woman who had just stolen all of the attention away from the two of them.
His eyes never left her, drawn in by her unique looks, but Nick didn't recognise her.
Unlike Dido and Beast Slayer, even though her strength was only just below them, she wasn't a major player in the War Beast Sanctuary. If she wasn't so passive, there would be three main forces in the Sanctuary!
She was directly employed by the Federation, and probably enjoyed more benefits than even Dido and Beast Slayer did!
Nick's voice rang out with the clarity of someone who knew he had every single upper hand in this situation.
"I'll explain it." He said.
"Since Marco's just about to run out of lies and falsities."
The air of the room tightened at his words, but nobody around them refuted what Nick had said.
