However, Lorien didn't immediately attack or show malice toward Geto, rather, he wanted to wait and get more information so he could build a complete picture of the situation.
So, with that in mind, Lorien pretended not to care as he asked with 'clear interest'.
"Ohh, how did you get that, I don't remember that it's for the sale!"
Not realizing the danger he was in or rather not caring much about it, Geto continued speaking as he played with the stone-like bracelet in his hand.
"3 Weeks ago, one of my family members returned to his hometown in Africa, and he happened to pass by Tunisia, there he met some monkeys who wore those bracelets and used some sort of special techniques to fight.
At first, he was mostly interested in those techniques so he stayed around to observe.
However, afterward, his interest was robbed by those bracelets that he thought at first were just part of the uniform."
Saying this, Geto turned his eyes toward the bracelet in his hand as a look of wonder appeared on his countenance.
"I have to admit, the craftsmanship is incredible, even though we tried, we couldn't decipher or use it in any way, it is as if a key is missing, and from what I could tell, the key is actually the technique those monkeys are using! It's a pity that we also cannot get that."
Hearing this, a look of sudden realization appeared on Lorien's face.
'So that's how it is, it's actually Miguel, well, another one to beat up! He better hope he doesn't meet me.'
With a clear view of the whole situation, Lorien couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"HAHAHA, So, from what I understood, you guys killed and robbed one of my subordinates, and now you want me to join your organization and work for you?
HAHAHHA, Truly, This is the first time I've seen such a shameless request!"
Using his thumb the remove a tear that fell from the corner of his eye because of excessive laughter, Lorien then continued.
"Never in my life have I seen someone so brain-dead, It seems that the brain surgery was really needed!"
Now that he knew how everything came to be, Lorien didn't bother to hide anymore, after all, he had never seen someone wanting to die so badly in his life.
It's just that Geto didn't care about Lorien's reaction as he had long expected this anger, moreover, he didn't think that Lorien was a danger to him.
After all, from the information he gathered, it seems that Lorien is someone who was born in a country where the jujutsu culture is dwindling.
The only thing that is special about him is his Cursed Technique which has something to do with creating things.

So, even though he knew that Lorien was a supposed 'special grade' he didn't care much about it.
Moreover, Geto has great confidence in his own strength which makes his attitude toward other sorcerers a bit arrogant.
This is very similar to how Satoru Gojo acts toward his enemies as he doesn't care about what they think because of his own strength, rather, he keeps a playful attitude and toys with them most of the time.
Lorien also noticed this mindset, however, he has to admit that logically speaking, Geto does have a point, after all, if one were to base their actions on available information, that would indeed be the case.
It's just that this time, Geto isn't in luck this time as he met Lorien, the biggest anomaly in this world.
'False information kills people!'
'I have to admit that those guys did a great job when fabricating information about me.'
'Alright! It's decided, I'll give them a raise when I get back!'
However, even at this moment Geto still didn't realize how close to death he was as he still responded.
"I deeply apologize for that, It's just that some sacrifices are required to achieve a greater cause!"
Still looking rather calm, Geto continued his effort in inviting Lorien.
"I don't think that the life of a monkey should affect our relationship and our goal, moreover, we didn't kill your subordinate, we only left him unconscious, so let's put this aside, how about you join us and we'll compensate you later on?"
Hearing this, Lorien's killing intent diminished slightly, however, he wasn't about to let Geto go like that.
'Tsk, Luckily, this guy didn't kill anyone, otherwise, even if this may cause the subsequent plot to collapse and as a consequence my travel to be a bit boring, I'll kill him here and now.'
'Thankfully, it seems that there is no need for that now as no one was killed.'
'It's just that even though this is the case, I still have to punish him for touching my stuff without permission.'
Making up his mind, Lorien gave off a long sigh before standing up.
*Sigh*
"Well, you've prepared a great speech and all, but I refuse your invitation."
Hearing this, Geto's eyes narrowed slightly as he stood up and faced Lorien.
From the looks of it, it appears that he wasn't going to give up so easily.
'This guy's ability is of strategic nature, whatever side he joins will have a great increase in strength and potential, It can not only give those monkeys power but also increase the strength of jujutsu sorcerers.'
Thinking of this, the crazed look in Geto's eyes became more intense.
'If left alone, he may become a bit of a hindrance to our plan, so, it's better to just...'
However, just as Geto was thinking of this, Lorien's voice woke him up from his trance.
"Sighh... You have no idea how close to death you were just now, yet, it appears that you are still so insistent on dying."
Looking a bit speechless, Lorien gave Geto a deep look as if trying to figure something out.
"I really don't know if you are really brave, or really dumb.
You should really be thankful that you haven't killed my subordinate, or else, I would have hunted you guys one by one, after all, I am quite vengeful!"
Saying this, Lorien didn't bother to wait for Geto's response as he instantly released his full power.
This time, Lorien wasn't going to hold back and use only one part of his power or anything like that.
Today, he was going to go all out!
First of all, it was a bit late right now and he wanted to end things quickly, and secondly, he wanted to make a statement to warn others, after all, he didn't want this to keep happening over and over again.
*Swish*
*Buzzz*
The first to bear the brunt of this power was Geto who was right in front of Lorien, as the moment this power was released, Geto lost control of his body feeling as if it got both stuck in quicksand and chained at the same time.
*Crack*
*Crack*
Watching everything shatter right in front of his eyes, Geto felt his blood run cold as his eyes dilated automatically entering into a fight or flight response.
Even someone as powerful and experienced as him couldn't react at this moment as all he could do was open his mouth and speak with a bit of a quiver In his voice.
"Who are...."
"NO!"
"WHAT are you??!!"
