"Yes, and I want to start now," Richard replied directly.
He was only provoking him on purpose so that what he was about to do—robbing him—would appear fair.
If there was an agreement beforehand, he could justify his actions.
Unless the Red Star Empress was petty enough to ignore her reputation, she wouldn't retaliate over her brother.
And it seemed that Bear, too, wanted to use this chance to rob him.
"Hahahaha..." Bear laughed even louder.
"Then let's begin!" he shouted.
The moment he said that, Richard saw the man's hands suddenly expand, becoming as thick as tree trunks, covered in coarse fur that made them look like those of an actual bear.
His title as Bear clearly had a reason.
Rumble!
Both massive hands came crashing down toward Richard, and at that instant, he realized what kind of power even a lower-tier World Realm Magus possessed.
The pressure radiating from those enormous hands was enough to make it difficult for him to breathe or even move.
BANG!
