Chapter 289 Sage King vs. the Thunder Shell Lord (1/2)

There was an enormous breach in the ground. The faint odor of rotting sewage wafted through it.

The Thunder Shell Lord emerged slowly from the breach, lightning dancing around it. Maybe it was the sunlight, but the lightning didn't look particularly intimidating. However, it was enough to catch the attention of the surrounding officers.

”Hold it!”

”Who goes there?”

”Have your familiar stand down!”

Several armed officers, along with their familiars, circled the Thunder Shell Lord cautiously.

”Officers, I'm merely a law-abiding citizen of the Alliance. Please, hold your fire.” Gao Peng raised both his arms in what he hoped was a non-threatening manner.

”What is it this time?” Luo Qian could hear the commotion. He already had his hands full with the current situation, and he simply didn't have the time for this. He really wanted to throw the troublemaker into jail for a couple of months, just because he could.

”Sir, someone with a familiar from the Dark Alley wants to see you.”

”Who could this person be?” he mused. ”Send him over.” He had already made up his mind. If this person was here just to waste his time, he would throw the guy in jail for a couple of months.

As soon as Gao Peng made his way over, Luo Qian couldn't keep his eyes off of the Thunder Shell Lord. It felt very familiar, as though they might have met long before this.

”Wait. Isn't this...” His eyes widened. Joy surged through him. He remembered the familiar now.

Talk about a timely entrance.

”And you are...?” Luo Qian rarely watched TV. He had no time to watch competitions and the like, so he had no idea who he was talking to.

”Mr. Gao is fine,” Gao Peng said modestly.

”Oh, I see. Mr. Gao.” He knew it was just an alias, but he didn't care. ”Mr. Gao, please lend us your assistance in subduing this rampaging monster. For the sake of the city and all its people, I implore you.”

”Naturally.” Gao Peng nodded. ”This is my civic duty for the Alliance.”

'Thunder Shell Lord.” Gao Peng turned around to face it.

Hearing that name confirmed what Luo Qian knew, that this familiar did indeed belong to that renowned person. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder just who exactly this ”Mr. Gao” was.

Just because he didn't watch TV didn't mean that his officers didn't. Quite a few of them recognized Gao Peng and quietly told him who he was.

Upon hearing that he was a Lord-tier monster trainer and the grandson of that famous person, Luo Qian's eyes lit up.

He immediately grasped both of Gao Peng's hands. ”Thank you, Gao Peng.”

”Mr. Gao is fine.” Gao Peng waved his hand airily.

Luo Qian was curious. If news of this got out, it would only improve his reputation, and immensely so. Why was he going to such lengths to keep his identity a secret?
