WHAT! I Have To Kill Heaven's Son To Live!-Chapter 148: Unexpected Helper!

Reon sighed inwardly.

"Tch. Of course. Trouble again. I really am cursed with bad luck..."

The room fell quiet.

One moment it was filled with laughter and the clinking of mugs—and the next, all eyes were locked onto Reon and the broad-shouldered man glaring at him.

They were buzzing with excitement—eager to witness a veteran adventurer put a cocky newcomer in their place.

"Hey, hey, look over there," a man chuckled from behind his drink. "That newbie just picked a fight with Wei Lin—the Fierce Prince."

"No way! Seriously? I’ve gotta see this!" another chimed in, eyes lighting up. "Who is it? Who is it?"

"Whoa, that’s one flashy title," murmured that recently promoted E-Rank adventurer, turning to his older brother with wide eyes. "I don’t think I’ve seen that guy around before, Senior Brother."

"You wouldn’t," the older brother replied, crossing his arms. "He doesn’t hang around this city much. He’s a C-Rank adventurer—famous in other towns. Real hot-blooded too."

"C-Rank?! That’s incredible. Only three adventurers from our city ever reached that rank. You’re one of them, the second is out of city... So he must be the third," the younger said, eyes wide.

"Yup. He’s strong—and worse, known for his temper. That newbie just stepped on a landmine."

All around, the adventurers were getting rowdy.

"Oi! Let’s see some action!"

"Yeah! Teach that newbie a lesson. How dare he bump into a senior and not even grovel!"

Chairs scraped the floor as people gathered closer, eager for a fight.

Reon, however, remained calm. He looked straight into Wei Lin’s furious eyes.

"Look, I already said I’m sorry," he said, voice level. "It was just a bump. Why make a scene?"

Wei Lin sneered and grabbed Reon by the collar, yanking him forward.

"Listen up, you little runt. Around here, they call me Master Fierce Prince. People fear that name—and you should too."

His voice dripping with arrogance.

"Now get on your knees, beg for mercy, and call me by the name everyone here does. Maybe then, as your senior, I’ll let you walk away in one piece."

Reon’s gaze didn’t flinch.

"Master Fierce Prince? Beg for mercy? Are you out of your mind?"

He leaned in slightly, lifting the brim of his straw hat just enough to lock eyes with him, his voice dropping to a cold, razor-sharp whisper.

"Let go of me now—before the price you pay becomes something you’ll never recover from."

The crowd gasped. Wei Lin’s face twitched in disbelief.

No one had ever talked to him like that—at least, not in this city. Here, people bowed their heads, offered gifts for protection, and whispered his name in fear.

But this... this was open defiance.

His rage boiled over.

"You damn bastard...! Where do you get the guts to talk like that?! I’m going to smash your face in!"

He pulled Reon in, muscles tightening, and raised his fist—

"Take this—"

But just as his punch was about to land—

It stopped. Mid-air.

Wei Lin blinked in shock. His fist trembled, frozen a few inches from Reon’s face. Something unseen held it in place.

"W-What the hell?! Why can’t I move my arm?!" he growled.

Reon tilted his head, genuinely puzzled. "Eh? But I didn’t even do anything... yet."

A swirling veil of water had coiled itself around Wei Lin’s wrist, like a soft but unbreakable rope.

No matter how much he struggled, his arm refused to budge.

"What... what is this?! Let go! Damn you—let go of my hand!" he roared, panic flashing in his eyes.

The guild hall fell into stunned silence.

Whispers rippled through the room like a rising tide.

"Did you see that?"

"How did his hand stop midair?"

"You think it was that newbie?"

"I doubt it. Look at the water... Could it be a Water-type talisman?"

"No way. Who would waste something that expensive on a stranger?"

But before anyone could say more—

A voice drifted in, soft as silk and sharp as a blade.

"Picking a fight with someone weaker than you? How shameful."

The crowd turned in unison.

And then froze.

At the entrance stood a girl—no, not just any girl.

An Elf.

She was breathtaking—her skin like porcelain kissed by moonlight, and long, silky forest-green hair cascading gracefully down her back.

Nestled in her hair was a delicate ornament, its silver threads glinting faintly, alongside a single pink flower—rare and vivid, native only to the Enigma Veil Continent.

She wore the Highest-Grade Elven Magical Attire—elegantly designed, subtly revealing, yet enchanted with powerful defensive wards and the ability to channel Mystic Energy.

A flowing black robe draped her back like midnight silk, and her high-heeled boots clicked softly with each graceful step.

Her ears were long and refined—undeniably Elven, with an air of timeless nobility.

But what truly captivated everyone were her eyes: two mismatched irises—one a warm, earthy brown, the other a radiant gold that shimmered faintly with an otherworldly glow.

She stepped forward gracefully, each movement as fluid as a breeze through leaves. It was as if the very air bent itself to carry her forward.

From the sidelines, a man nearly dropped his drink. His voice trembled.

"T-That’s her... The one who saved me in Shanhe Village..."

His companion leaned in.

"That B-Rank Elf adventurer? Damn, now I see why you’re obsessed. She’s... unreal."

"Yeah, right?" the bulky man muttered, eyes wide with awe.

"So that’s what an elf looks like... It’s my first time seeing one in person," another added, voice filled with wonder.

"I swear, she’s the most beautiful woman I’ve laid eyes on since the day I was born."

"Shut up, idiots," another whispered harshly. "This isn’t the time to be simping. You say the wrong thing, and your head might roll."

Reon watched silently, eyes narrowing with interest.

"So she’s the one," he thought.

"The Elf girl who will one day become the youngest SSS-Rank adventurer... and lead her own legendary party. She’s even more stunning in person." freёnovelkiss.com

She walked up to him and Wei Lin. Her eyes flicked over Reon, still being held by the collar, and—briefly—she smiled.

"Did... did she just smile at me?" Reon thought, stunned.

Then, her gaze shifted coldly to Wei Lin.

Wei Lin, still struggling with the water binding his arm, growled.

"Was it you? You’re the one who stopped my hand just now?"
