''Which one of you bullied my little sister?''
As soon as Rocky spoke up, a group of people turned their attention to him, yet they only chuckled afterward.
Meanwhile, Nicole's face turned nervous. She swiftly grabbed Rocky's hand in panic.
''P-Please, brother. Don't provoke them… I wasn't bullied or anything.''
Rocky rubbed her head again and said,
''I told you. Your big brother's here… There's no need to worry… Or don't you believe your big brother?''
Nicole hesitated for a while before tightening his hand.
She relaxed and nodded obediently.
''Good.''
Rocky observed the group. He could see two individuals possessing strong beasts.
(Apex and Calamity?)
A black-haired boy with a cold face was practicing with his beast, completely ignoring Rocky. That face gave Rocky a familiar feeling — the King of Hayden Kingdom.
(He's probably his son… So he's my cousin? If so, he's not the type who'd bully my sister.)
