The more Rudy thought about it, the angrier he became, believing his assumption to be true after all.
He could not help but raise his voice as his hands trembled, "I'm telling you two: No matter who attracted the assassins, you'd better suffer the consequences! Don't pull me into your mess!
"I've always been very careful with what I do, never misstepping." Rudy's breathing started to quicken as he spoke. "I've never provoked any powerful figures before, so I don't want any of you to drag me down with you!"
Grayson's face reddened in fury upon hearing Rudy's words. If the situation had allowed it, he would have rushed over to Rudy and screamed.
"Stop assuming things so rashly about us! You've never offended anyone, so does that mean we have? Don't talk about yourself as if you're some saint, alright?
"With how your character is, could you have not offended anyone? Who knows; you might be the culprit here. Why are you so insistent that these enemies are targeting one person?"
Rudy's nostrils flared as he pointed a finger at Grayson. "What do you mean by that?! Quit insulting me-I've never offended anyone important in my life!
"I know how you normally act. You keep wagging your tail. If you haven't offended anyone, I'll take up your name in the future.
"Perhaps your usual abrasiveness actually ended up offending someone? Maybe it ended up causing a whole lot of trouble, and now, someone is trying to kill us.
"Back then, you were in Rosefinch Pavilion, and it wasn't easy to make any moves on you. Now that you're out, they found the perfect opportunity to attack!"
