Posture straight and eyes focused on the crowd of soldiers before him, the elder man’s aura oozed with confidence as he faced them.

“To think that monsters would become a problem in our society.” He stuffed his hands in his pockets as he paced across the stage with a hint of disappointment.

“Honestly, I am glad that I took over General Kim’s position. He was doing a terrible job.” He paused in his movements and casted a look towards a female soldier or more specifically you, his daughter who stood amongst the rest, your expression revealing not a single emotion.

Taking a hold of the dagger that was secured to his hip, he aimed it with accuracy, piercing the bounty poster of one of the creatures. His eyes narrowed and he bared his teeth as he uttered his next words.
