Chapter 221 - Good Stuff
“Mr. Shaun, I’m sorry.” When he said that, Milo really hoped to find a hole to hide in from all the embarrassment. He had never done such a humiliating thing in his whole life. To apologize to a low-level adventurer in front of everybody who had a certain level of influence was deeply shameful. If this incident were to be known by the people in Thunder City, Milo would not know how he could still lift his head in the future.
Shaun always heard people call him “fatty”. Hence, he did not expect it when he heard the words “Mr. Shaun”. Since Milo was very soft when he addressed Shaun, he could not believe his ears. Shaun blinked in a daze and asked cautiously, “W-what… did you say…?”
“…” Milo nearly coughed blood. He thought that the fatso was trying to make things difficult by asking him such an embarrassing question.
At that moment, Milo even felt like dying.
He was only here to accompany his mentor and meet some people. Yet, he even needed to apologize to a fat man repeatedly, not to mention that he was humiliated in front of everybody. How did he end up in this state?
If this incident were to be known to people in Thunder City, he would be shamed for life.
Milo was really regretful. If he’d known it’d happen, he would have stayed in Thunder City. Why did he go to Alanna? Why couldn’t he just keep his mouth shut?
When Andoine introduced Lin Li, a smile could be seen on Balbo’s face. He asked, “So, you must be Felic?”
“Yes, President Balbo.” Lin Li nodded his head politely. Yet, he could not help but suspect that Balbo had heard about him before.
“Hehe, I heard Burnside talk about you before,” Balbo spoke as though he knew what Lin Li was thinking about.
“I see…” The mention of Old Grimm embarrassed Lin Li. When he was at Jarrosus, he promised Old Grimm that if he were to come to Alanna, he would find time to visit him. Yet, being always caught up in matters, he did not have chance to visit Old Grimm at all.
“How’s Mage Grimm?”
“He is very well.” Balbo smiled. Then, he continued, “He even told me about you this morning, saying that you would surely come with Andoine today. I didn’t expect it to be so…”
“What is he doing now?”
“He had some important things to attend to, and might only come back after the gathering…” After he finished his speech, Balbo joked with him again. “Andoine, weren’t you envious of my talented student in the past? Why not be swap our students?”
“Dream on!” Andoine replied without hesitating. Someone like the freakish Felic might not even appear in a hundred years. Even if there were 10 geniuses, he would not agree to swap Felic for them all.
“Hehe, I was just joking. You don’t need to be so nervous. Look, since the discussion has not started, why not Iet me bring you to see something good?”
“What’s good?”
