The Rhein Knight was unwilling to act against him to leave evidence, so he entrusted the matter to the sheriff, a muscular man from the reserve. And since Lair had already seen this man's intelligence during the day, he still had a chance to survive!

Before he could say the word "toe," Lair suddenly felt a lightness, as it appeared the muscular man had seized his collar and forcefully lifted him up.
The two men stared at each other, and the man's eyes were full of fierce expression.
