When the baron finished listening to all of it, he remained silent for a moment.
Theo glanced to the side and froze as he saw something right by the campfire. His eyes widened in shock, and he instinctively moved to approach it.

"Wha…"
Before Theo could ask what he was doing, the baron moved the fist that was already heading toward Theo's face at point-blank range.
In that instant, everything slowed.
Theo felt the fist move toward him. His body reacted instinctively, his head snapping back, his spine arching backward as he leaned away.
