31 Yes, Boss! (1/2)

Nicholas stood outside the Dungeon Core Main Hall in a black Tuxedo. If his protruding fangs and sharp sprite ears were not taken into consideration, according to human standards, he would be quite a handsome guy.

Nicholas' behavior attracted the attention of the gamers as they followed behind him. Sherlock understood their behavior as they did not want to miss the ”Plot Animation”. He had previously been surrounded by them in a similar manner.

However, Nicholas was puzzled when he saw the Goblins gathering and following him. Though they were Goblins, he felt pressured by their incessant talking.

”Lassie, where are you going?”

”Who triggered the Plot Animation?”

”I don't know. Perhaps there are new activities?”

”Just follow Lassie.”

”Take a look at my newly exchanged Small Cloth Bag.”

”We shall form a new expedition later and continue fighting the Spiders.”

”Let's form up first. Once the Plot Animation is over, we'll set out.”

”I saw Arthur swinging his weapon as he went out. Is he challenging the Spiders alone?”

”Even if he has the most combat training sessions, isn't it too far-fetched for him to go alone?”

”D*mn, I should have stockpiled the materials. The prices have increased today.”

”Those who rushed to improve their equipment are now dying of regret.”

Nicholas was unable to understand the Goblins. Tens of them followed behind him and chattered non-stop. Why were these Goblins so fond of chatting? Nicholas felt his ears almost bursting.

Nicholas had seen numerous Goblins but not the talkative ones. When a few normal Goblins were put together, they would not even make a sound. Nicholas could not understand why these Goblins had that much to say!

Nicholas arrived at the Dungeon Core entrance with his ears filled with buzzing chatter. It did not last long as Sherlock walked out.

When the Devil Lord appeared, the chatter gradually stopped and there were ”shhh” sounds. Some whispered to remind the chattering Goblins, ”Stop talking. The Plot Animation is starting!”

Putting the Goblins' matters aside, Nicholas was looking for Sherlock about another matter.

”Lord Sherlock, pardon my sudden visit.” He bowed towards Sherlock and said, ”Since arriving at your Dungeon, I have been grateful for your great hospitality. To express my gratitude, please allow me to present you a gift.”

Sherlock looked at Nicholas and frowned.

Was the great hospitality referring to the empty space without stone slabs and proper beds? Was his gratitude sarcastic?

Sherlock was unhappy. A lowly vampire was giving sarcastic hints to the Devil Lord?

Nicholas was not making sarcastic comments. He was making use of the opportunity to foster their long-term business relationship. However, the Goblins' abnormal behavior had shocked Nicholas to the core.

Nicholas had never encountered Goblins who would chat casually in front of a superior Vampire. Even after Nicholas exerted his dominance, there was no reaction from the Goblins.

Nicholas was feeling mentally exhausted by the Goblins' chattering and harassment. Nicholas also realized that these Goblins… were terrifying!

These Goblins were not afraid of a Vampire! Just based on the power of a Goblin? Of course not! They must be dependent on Lord Sherlock's power!
