Chapter 40 In The City Lord Mansion (1/2)

”How the hell did he suddenly disappear? Did he went into [Stealth] and just left them hanging!?”

”Idiot! You can't use your abilities inside the city!”

Actually, Michael took the chance to leave when all of them were distracted by the arrival of Falling Moon and the others, that's why no one noticed that he had already slipped away from the scene earlier.

[Hey! How did you manage to leave this crowded place!? No, that's not the point here, why did you leave? Aren't you interested in joining one of the powerful guilds?], a call came from Storm Breaker.

”For now? Nah!” Michael said as he ended the call, as he then rejected all of the following calls.

Meanwhile.

”What an asshole” Falling Moon said when her call was rejected the third time before giving up in contacting Michael.

”Hmmp!” the representative from Aqua Royals snorted coldly before leaving with his team.

Judgement Fall also left with his group, feeling a bit relieved that Michael doesn't seem interested in joining any of their guild.

After that small episode, the other players also started leaving one by one as they headed to deal their own business.

”Joining a guild is good and all, but I'm not someone who take orders from someone less skilled and weaker than me” Michael muttered, while walking to a less busier road as he wanted to avoid moving through the busy streets from now on to avoid attention...until he gets something to hide his name or information.

”My time is almost over...need to move fast” Michael increased his pace as he headed towards the City Lord's mansion.

A few minutes later.

Michael was once again in front of the walled, City Lord's Mansion.

”Sergeant Marcus!” Michael called out when he saw Marcus standing beside the small guard house at the other side of the bridge.

”Hmm..?” Marcus heard someone yelling his name, so he turned his head around towards where the direction of the voice is coming from and saw Michael at the other side of the bridge, waving towards him.

”Shadow! Young lad!” Marcus waved back as he left his post and started making his way towards Michael.

”What are you doing here lad? Have you come to visit this old man?” Marcus chuckled as he looked at Michael from head to toe, and he was a bit shocked inside at the changes of the young man in front of him.

'It was only a few days, but it seems this lad had become stronger' Marcus thought, not knowing that it was Michael's change in equipment and his bonus attributes.

”Yes...but at the same time, my purpose for coming here is if it's possible to get an audience from the City Lord?” Michael just smiled and went directly on point, as he doesn't like beating around the bush.

”An audience? Why?” Marcus raised an eyebrow, as he looked suspiciously at him.
