On the throne to Ayumi\'s left, there was a balding man whose black skin seemed immaculate from how clean it was. Although this man had a white goatee and traces of experience next to his eyes, these seemed well aware of everything around him. This was the Patriarch of the Collalto family.

At his right side, there was a black woman as well. Her brown hair had long curls that seemed to imitate the curl of a calm lake when a stone is thrown.

Mr. Collalto looked at Ayumi, and also looked at Luke, and then immediately greeted them both. "Good morning, how are you?"

"Very well, and you?" The Matriarch answered for him with the proper intonation, because the thrones were relatively far apart from each other.

Luke showed the man respect, even though he had never seen him. The half-wolf looked into his eyes and nodded as he bowed slightly. For both of them, this seemed to be enough.

"We\'re pretty good too." He replied, but his companion stood motionless beside his throne, just staring at Luke.

Then the Matriarch of the Strogueher looked at Nico Sallow, and greeted her with a nod. Mrs. Sallow responded in the same way, but complemented it with a closed smile.

On the other side of the circular hall, Luke recognized two other important figures. Rujierd Daren and Amanda Hangen, respectively the Patriarch of the Daren Family and the Matriarch of the Hangen Family.

Rujierd was an eccentric looking man, as his hair was snow-white, and his skin was between a black and yellow tone. In addition, his teeth were sharp, and if that alone wasn\'t enough to show off his wild nature, he still wore leather monster clothes.

Matriarch Hangen was no ordinary looking person either. Her hair carried a strong shade of rust, although each of her strands had the luster of a well-kept blade.

They both realized they were being stared at by Luke, and precisely because they were not feared by the half-wolf they were even more curious about him.

At that moment they both rose from their seats and walked over to where Ayumi and Luke were standing, closely accompanied by their bodyguards.

Impressively, Amanda was even taller than the red-haired man accompanying her. In fact, she was taller than anyone in that room, easily exceeding six and a half feet.

Her bodyguard was only about two meters tall, although he was her older brother.

Accompanying Rujierd was a strange looking girl similar to his, and well, this resemblance was easily explained by the fact that they were father and daughter respectively.

The half-wolf couldn\'t say why Rujierd brought his own daughter to the lions\' den, but it was understandable due to the fact that she was his firstborn, as well as the person who would inherit the leadership of this family in the future. The fact that Patriarch Daren was so confident to bring his daughter was not because he trusted all the council members, but rather because he was self-confident that nothing in the world would be a threat to his daughter as long as she was present.

"Greetings, everyone!" Rujierd greeted Ayumi and Luke with only one word, but with a smile on his face. "You\'re the boy who won the Tournament of Legends a few months ago, aren\'t you? You disappeared for a while."

"Yes, sir. Actually, working with the Strogueher has many advantages, and one of them is having freedom. I was on a trip to visit some distant relatives." The half-wolf replied.

"And in the middle of the road you stopped to defeat a national myth and save a small town? Your family must be very uninteresting," Rujierd questioned.

At this moment Luke realized that his day would not be easy and that even the man with the nicest manner did not stop acting like a venomous snake. However, Ayumi was there and wouldn\'t let the half-wolf get into trouble on his first day at her workplace.

Before Luke could think of a response for the Patriarch, Ayumi interfered. "Mr. Daren, what are you getting at with these questions? Mr. Lange is a free man, young and very talented, it would be strange if he didn\'t accomplish remarkable feats. Don\'t you think so?"

Rujierd then smiled with just the left corner of his bonk and turned to walk back to his throne:

"Ayumi, all dogs need collars when they leave the yard, and so does a wolf. Think about it."

The Matriarch was just cold and ignored him, focusing on the giant woman in front of her, Amanda.

"Good morning, Mrs. Hangen. How are you?"

"I\'m fine, actually, I was waiting for your arrival."

"Hm? Why? Is there something I can help you with?" Ayumi inquired, surprised. Amanda was a pretty empowered woman, and she was hardly one to ask anyone for help with anything, let alone people from other families.

"Yes, but I just came to let you know that I would like to continue the conversation about rebuilding the library of the Oukiwa Academy of Nobles."

"Oh! Would you like to continue now or later?"

"If possible, after the Council meeting. The person responsible for today\'s agendas is Thomas Landford, so I predict it will be another tiring morning." Amanda rolled her eyes as she finished her sentence.

Ayumi smiled, grateful that she wasn\'t the only one who could hardly stand Thomas and his immature behaviors. "All right, we\'ll talk about it later."

The giant red-haired woman smiled briefly as she nodded and then returned to her throne.

When the half-wolf realized that there was no one else around, he allowed himself to talk with his bride. "Mrs. Strogueher, does Shiro know that another Landford survived the massacre? I remember when he told me about it, he said he believed he was the only one who survived."

"Shiro probably knows that he was not the last survivor, I don\'t know for sure. We both never touched that subject, except when we did his interview. For what it\'s worth Thomas is a man has become such an annoying man that Shiro wouldn\'t put up with him for long." Ayumi explained, without turning her face to look at Luke who was out of her field of vision. "That you will find out in no time."

Five minutes later, the door to the circular hall was opened, and five people entered together.

The first was Shanks Ballard, an elderly man who wore elegant clothes and had a healthy posture, although he used a cane to get around. Next to him was a very strong man whose exposed muscles looked like shining monoliths of basalt.

Behind them was another gray-haired man. He had an oddly shaped beard, because his sideburns were a mixture of white mixed with gray, and his goatee followed the shape of an arch, leaving only his chin bare. This was Thomas Landford, and the half-wolf recognized this thanks to the dozens of Landford insignia on his dark blue military uniform.

Patriarch Landford began to scan the room with his eye, but stopped when he realized that Luke was present and began to stare at him as he walked to his seat.

Luke didn\'t even notice this man, because his attention was taken by the two other people who entered after Thomas.

The first was Erick Smakusa, a man who walked in an elegant yet imposing manner. He had a cape with a black exterior and a wine-red interior, and the rest of his outfit followed basically this same pattern. Still, Luke wondered what kind of fabric that was, because it looked sturdy, but also very comfortable and handsome.

When Luke looked into Erick\'s eyes, he noticed the way the Smakusa Patriarch looked intently at everyone in the hall, as if he was paying attention to any slightest movement.

His large white beard and long grayish strands accentuated the pressure in his black eyes.

The moment Erick realized he was being stared at by Luke, he glanced back for a second and then at Ayumi, and then said to the man accompanying him:

"Come with me more closely, Kyor. Mrs. Yamazaki is planning something."

Then Luke constantly recognized the name said by Erick, although he had forgotten it for some time.

\'Kyor!?\' Luke wondered, turned to look at the man accompanying the Smakusa Patriarch and recognized him on the spot. \'So, I finally found you!

Kyor was the name of the man with supernatural reflexes that the half-wolf had to fight against at the Vasconcelos Anniversary Festival, more precisely at the Luck or Fight Tournament.

Luke Lange never expected to meet him again, although he had the urge. After all, it was Kyor\'s fighting style that inspired him to focus more on slender attacks and dodges.

This man with completely black hair, matte green eyes and a cold stare was wearing the same clothes as when Luke first met him, which made it clear that this was his work uniform. He was wearing the gray vest of a jacket, gray pants, and black gloves, made of a sturdy material, but still kept them in the thin-fingered style.

The half-wolf was staring at him behind Ayumi, and with his watchful eyes Kyor noticed this, stopped and returned the stare.
