Chapter 96: Noble’s pride (2/2)

”Yeah, I heard something like that the other day.”

”So it was him...”

”I also heard that in his first mission, he soloed the encampment of the bandit group. Although he didn't kill them, all of the bandits surrendered.”

”What? Did that really happen?”

”Do you think I'm a liar?”

”The heck, then he's an irregular newbie!”

”Cool, he's also a newbie like me!” Exclaimed the innocent-looking guy.

Hearing what the other people whispering around, Vince and his men sneered at this famous newbie, ”Heeeh, so he was that newbie I heard about...”

Vince muttered in exhilaration.

”Kekekeke...” His buddies chuckled weirdly.

Yman was wondering why it suddenly became noisy.

When he passed by the group of the people wearing nice dresses, he heard one of them utter the words, ”C-Cat...with the snake body...?” He gave a quick glance at the person.

He noticed his twisting face and a pulse in cross-shaped appeared on his forehead.

Gilion Gustav couldn't believe it! Never had anyone looked down on this ability of his! He understood that it was slapped by this person in front of him like it was nothing. After all, this person named Vince was an expert. But it doesn't mean he didn't have a way to defeat him.

Nonetheless, this person who just arrived called his high-level technique as a mere 'cat head with the body of a snake!'

Gilion's face turned sour, ”A cat head with snake body.....?!” He repeated.

Yman heard again the mutter from the guy with a handsome face, long milky white hair braided at the back of his head, and pointed ears. And he was wearing a white long dress embroidered with gold.

However, he disregarded it and directly passed at the two beautiful young girls. His eyes met with the eyes of the girl with shoulder-length snow-like hair and beautiful eyes.

Yman couldn't help admiring her beauty. Ella on the other hand was puzzled. The Lighting Emerald Dragon still lingering in her mind. 'What did this person do?' She was in thought. She wanted to ask him but her tongue seemed to retreat when she saw his indifferent gaze.

For her, he gave a feeling that he doesn't care about everything around him. Like a very portrait of a man staring to a faraway horizon.

The meeting of their eyes happened for a moment only.

Yman startled the still in a daze Bunnygirl when he opened his mouth and ordered food, ”Miss, A medium slice of rank B Ram beef with a salty sauce. And please add a soup,” he directly said to the counter.

”E-Eh?!”

Seeing the handsome man in front of her, the Bunnygirl was at a loss for a second.

Then she said, ”O-Okay sir, right away!” She then hastily took what he wanted.

Yman scratched the back of his head but froze when he felt an ill intent coming from his back.

He took a glance and saw the handsome man with his body exuding emerald energy.

But it was spoiled when,

”That's enough, Gilion Gustav. Remember why we came here.”

”The Royal Knight-Captain is right Gilion!” Ella added.

Yman saw the man wearing heavy golden armor placed his hand on the handsome young man's shoulder and said those words. And the beautiful lady agreed to that person she called Knight-Captain.

The ill intent bothered him. There's no way he mistook it. After signing a contract with that demon. His perception of any bad intentions towards him had increased greatly. Right now, that demon's spirit was lurking inside his Hollow Cell.

Yman learned the signing contract technique from the grimoire.

Well, the demon didn't want to disappear. So for now, he had to cooperate with this human, until he retrieved his body.

Yman on the other hand did the contract to help him in his journey of searching the medicine for his sister.

Nevertheless,

Gilion's pride got the better of him. After all, he was from the renowned family of Gustav. If the news that he didn't punish the person who slandered the technique from the Gustav family reached the ears of their family elders. Gilion would certainly lose his face in the family. And he might be branded as a coward to the other family members.

”Hey, you! I Challenge you into a duel!” He roared while pointing his finger to Yman.

Vince on the contrary broke into a smile. ”Hehehe, let me join.”

Ella and the others tried to stop Gilion, but it seemed like, for him, his pride was on the line.

The people around were astonished by this turn of events.

Yman and Sistela on the other hand had indifferent faces. In their minds, 'What the heck is this?! We just came here to buy food, you know!'
