Chapter 96: Noble’s pride (1/2)

Everyone had their mouths almost dropped onto the floor as they stared at the newcomers.

None of them were able to react for a second.

A moment later, ”How did it happen?” Ella subconsciously muttered.

Followed by Hannah, ”Where did that scary high-level skill go?”

”Why did it suddenly disappear like nothing was there in the first place?” Some random people around also muttered in puzzlement.

Most of them had questions, but none had the answer.

Even the Royal Knight-Captain Borge Bergal couldn't understand what just happened. Although what Vince The Menace did was surprising, that young man did something beyond that. Or perhaps the Lightning Emerald Dragon disappeared before it reached that person. The only thing that baffled him was the brief spark of crimson energy in that person's hand. Although the spark of crimson energy happened in a split second, it didn't skip at his perception.

Unaware of the situation, the newly entered Yman narrowed his eyes and muttered, ”What a greeting...”

Never would he imagine that after opening the door he was greeted rudely.

He scanned the room and noticed some unusual people.

Ahead of him, near the counter, he noticed several people staring at him. He was baffled by the bemused expressions on their faces. 'Hmm... what's going on here? It seems there is an argument happening,' he thought when he noticed a young man in an elegant dress wearing an angry expression on his face. As of the moment, that young man was staring at him with knit brows.

It didn't come to his mind that the angry face was for him, because in front of that young man there was a burly person towering over that young man.

The golden energy that enveloped that burly person's hand caught his attention. It was so dense and suffocating.

If Yman compared this person's energy. It was clear that this person was way stronger than the soldiers in the City of Zone 7.

Yman didn't give any regards to it as he was here for his essential matters.

He darted his eyes and it landed on two beautiful young girls, seeing them — he changed his initial thought and believed that the weird scene in the room was involved by those girls.

Well, in such a place like this that could only be described as a wolf den. It was an inappropriate place for them since many men would probably tease them.

He also noticed some warriors wearing heavy silver armors and a knight wearing a distinct heavy golden armor. Yman assumed that these people might be from a distinct high profile family.

However, he didn't know much about the nobles

of this empire. Or the people of the palace. So he only assumed they were not ordinary noble since they brought some knights with them.

From behind him, Sistela peeked and asked,

Yman tilted his head, ”I thought I just saw a stray cat with a body of a snake rapidly running towards me the second I opened the door,” He replied while looking at his hand.

His voice was neither loud nor low, just enough that most of the people inside could hear it.

”.....”

Gilion was speechless after hearing him.

Vince on the other hand broke into a chuckle. But he was curious as to who this person was.

Sistela was confused about what kind of animal he meant. A high breed? In any case, she didn't care for the inevitable things such as a lost pet. she replied to him.

”Yeah. But don't mind it, let's go and order some take out,” Yman beckoned.

Suddenly, Sistela remembered their recent conversation,

Yman's mouth opened to form a voiceless chuckle. He was perplexed. It had already been 2 weeks since they arrived here, and his money was barely enough to pay the rent for an Inn, and also he needed to buy foods to feed himself.

With shoulders dropped, he opened his mouth saying, ”There's nothing we can do about it. Most of the quests in the mission tab were all low tiers and low pays. It seems we need a friendly connection with the guild's clerks to reserve us a high-tier mission.”

Sistela crossed her arms,

His mouth opened broader and let a sigh escaped from it, ”It's not even my fault. They tried to pick a fight on a newbie like me. And I only give them a little beating. Wasn't I generous for showing mercy?”

Sistela landed on his shoulder and gave up the conversation. She mumbled which Yman did not hear.

The two of them were walking towards the counter, disregarding the dumbfounded expressions on the face of the people around them.

Only their voice and steeping sounds were audible at the moment. And the gnashing of teeth coming from Gilion together with the chuckle of Vince.

Everyone was watching the human with a System Deity in tow, talking casually like nothing happened. Wait, is he a human? But they noticed his ears slightly pointed.

Suddenly a murmur broke out.

”Wait, he seemed to be familiar to me for some reason,” someone among the crowd said.

”Hey, hey, isn't he the fierce newbie?” Said the person wearing leather armor and two scabbards was in 'X' shape on his back.

The person beside him slightly frowned but when he took a clear view of that person that his friend was talking about, his eyes slightly widened, ”I-It's him! He's that newbie who defeated 5 silver rank adventurers when he first came to the guildhall!” Exclaimed the person wearing moss-colored leather armor. It was paired with a basil-colored pointed hat and a cape.

The others started whispering to each other.

”A newbie who defeated a 5 silver rank adventurer?”
