"Alright! Let's go men! A shame that she is unconscious! Otherwise, I would've hit her even more!" The boss thug said as he told Marco to pick up Sylvie.

Marco obeyed his orders as he picked up the 'unconscious' Sylvie who was pretending to be unconscious. He then walked out of the cafe along with the other thugs.

"Stop right there! You will let us leave peacefully! Or this little girl here will die!" The boss thug said the moment he took a foot outside the cafe.

After saying that, he took Sylvie from Marco's hand and placed a dagger on her throat.

"How can we tell if she isn't affiliated with you?" A guard said as he looked at him.

"Who knows. Maybe you'll know her as a civilian? Maybe a traveler? Let's find out." The boss thug said as he pulled back Sylvie's hood revealing her white hair.

"!!!" The guards immediately paled in fright when they realized who it was.

"Bullseye looks like I was correct. You all do know this person. I reckon this is someone who is famous huh? Seems like we can fetch a hefty sum too…" The boss thug said as he left.

"Men fall back." A muscular man donned in silver armor said as he walked to the front.

"That's right! Move back! Or she'll lose her head!" The boss thug started to laugh maniacally as he watched the guards move back slowly.

"You should let her go. You don't know who you're messing with." The muscular man said as he looked at the boss thug.

"Who cares who I am messing with? If they try me, I'll merely cut off her head." The boss thug threatened.

"That's not the issue. The issue is, you don't know who she is." The muscular man said in a cold tone as he looked at the thugs like they weren't even human.

"Why should I care who she is? Is she the princess or something?" The boss thug asked him.

"No." The muscular man replied.

"Then she isn't anyone to worry about!" The boss thug said.

"She is ranked higher than the princess." The muscular man said.

"What do you mean? Is she the queen then?" The boss thug asked her.

"No." The muscular man said.

"Then how is she ranked higher than the princess! Stop messing around with me!" The boss thug shouted at him.

"I am not messing around with you. She could merely be called a noble's daughter. As her lowest rank of course. And the highest rank of hers would be called… Harbinger of Destruction. If she is caught in a bad mood." The muscular man said as he looked at her.

'What? I am being called the Harbinger of Destruction? What did I even do!?' Sylvie thought inside her head.

"What do you mean? She's merely a little girl." The boss thug asked him.

"Anyone that crosses her… Usually gets destroyed. Do you know the Ragestride family?" The muscular man asked him.

"Of course, they were the family that were brought down by the Baroque family nearly 4 years ago." The boss thug said.

"She was the one responsible for cutting off all of the Ragestride's connections." The muscular man said.

"And what does that have to do with her? If I kill her, I will be merely hunted down. Heh. Now I can extort a higher sum of money!" The boss thug said.

"You don't get it." The muscular man said as he shook his head.

"Don't get what?" The boss thug asked him.

"Everything." The muscular man merely said.
