The half-dragon was not even shocked when she saw the third man summon a Panspermia knife. A crooked smile quickly grew on Jonathan's face, and he thought:

'It doesn't matter who you are, I just know that you are going to die now.'

The man jabbed the knife toward the redheaded woman. Furiously she punched the tip of the blade and the knife, instead of cutting her hand in half, the knife broke like a clay jug. Traack!

Everyone who saw that was ecstatic, even Luke. Panspermia weapons are known worldwide to be considerably stronger than weapons made by ordinary smiths because the resistance and the secret effects applied to them are unnatural.

But for Alexis, the knife didn't even scratch her skin, and that made Luke intrigued from that moment on because no skill he knew of could make his skin that resistant.

"Ahhh! What the fuck are you? A monster!?" The third man asked, desperate. When the Panspermia's knife broke, his fighting spirit broke in half as well.

Dizzy the other two goons who hit their heads couldn't see the scene properly, so they didn't give up the fight.

"Look, you should get your boys under control before I have to take them to the council for public disturbance," Alexis said, dodging the simultaneous attacks of the two remaining bodyguards.

Jonathan smiled weakly, at the same time as a lot of sweat trickled down his forehead. He felt that the half-beast in front of him was not just anyone, but his pride was too great to admit failure.

"Guys, finish this soon!" He shouted and stopped them from passing through the door so that the third one wouldn't dare to run away.

All three men wore ordinary leather clothes, but they were still so new that they retained the smell of the animal. The belts on the side of their waists, which generally should carry objects, bags, and the scabbard of a sword, were empty. This indicated that, besides being uncoordinated and weak, they were unprepared.

"Ahhh! Bitch, you're going to pay for this!" One of them shouted with a bleeding nose.

The other kept on the defensive and thought about using his ally's dinghy to get a chance to attack. "It's okay if you don't want to pay us, just let me use your body tonight. That's enough."

Unwittingly, Alexis was mistaken as some employee of the establishment of a relative of Dwarven. For a few seconds, the half-dragon dodged all of one of the men's punch attempts with extreme ease.

"Is it okay to let the woman take care of the problem?" Dwarven asked the half-wolf, turning away from the mess.

The half-wolf was sitting on one of the stools at the counter and answered his old acquaintance, "Are you really asking me that? She's just playing with him, that's what's going on."

"Playing?"

Luke had already noticed one thing about the S-Class: she always contains herself as much as she can. That could only happen for two different reasons in the half-wolf's mind.

The first would be the same reason he contained himself when he was in the Dungeon, that is, to not get in the way of other people's evolution, but that didn't make much sense to Alexis. The second plausible reason would be not to kill someone unintentionally, which would not fit with the situation with the demon, which she held back as well.

In the end, Luke could not say the exact reason and concluded that the half-dragon must just have her own personal reasons for this.

Alexis dodged the man's punches with such skill that just punching the man in the air made him tired in moments.

"You... should improve your... physical conditioning." She sneered at him as she dodged a right punch and a left punch.

"Use your legs, you idiot!" Luke shouted, giving the man a hint. The figure was using a lot of punches and no kicks.

"Tsk!" Jonathan clicked his tongue as he saw that his henchman was being humiliated and turned to leave. 'I'm going to avoid this place for a while...'

However, just as he turned and put his foot out of the Tavern, a black ax with a bright gray blade struck the door. The weapon didn't even make a sound as it flew, only when it wedged into the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Luke asked, still sitting near the counter. He was internally surprised at how accurately he managed to throw the ax. "Give back all the money you've already taken from my friend here."

Jonathan looked at the ax and saw that it was no ordinary ax. 'Shit... first the half-beast and now this hooded guy... I thought this fucking Dwarven only knew students.' The fat man thought, gritting his teeth with his mouth closed.

"Stop that shit right there, you idiot. Don't you realize you won't be able to beat her?" He said to the henchman who was still trying to land punches on the half-dragon. Then Jonathan pulled a bag of coins from the side of his belt and tossed it to the tavern owner. "There you have that more than you gave me... Come on, guys. There's nothing more to do here."

Once all four men had left, humiliated, Dwarven laughed loudly and slapped Luke's left shoulder twice hard. "You've changed a lot, Luke. In the past, if this happened, you would never interfere, you would disappear in the blink of an eye, but look at you now... You've helped me."

Luke smiled wryly because he didn't do anything much; the one who really took care of the problem was Alexis.

"Here, this here is yours," Dwarven spoke as he pulled a bag of coins and a letter from inside his apron. "They arrived earlier in the week, and I kept waiting for one of you to show up to deliver them."

When the half-wolf opened the bag of coins, he counted, and there were the exact 810 silver coins he sent to his friends. This meant that the letter he wrote was not read by anyone. Upset, Luke said goodbye to the old acquaintance and left the Tavern.

On the way to the Dwarven acquaintance who could help Luke, he tore up the letter that Nathalia helped him write and threw it into a sewer canal.

"Sorry for taking up so much time with that today... I never like to finish fights quickly, I always learn something new." The half-dragon thought Luke's silence was because he was angry with her.

"Don't bother about that... I'm just worried... You know, I feel that if something has happened to my friends, it will be all my fault."

"What are you talking about? it's not your fault."

"Yes it is...after all, I was the one who kept getting into trouble that wasn't mine in Vasconcelos and the whole situation that unfolded with the demons happened because I got shafted."

"Luke, human beings are curious, and you had your reasons for continuing to get involved in all this. Don't think too much about it...we'll find them, even if we have to turn this town upside down."
