Chapter 91 Recruitment Day
Miss Flavia looked at him in surprise. She didn’t expect him to have such uncaring attitude despite knowing that he had just offended Young master Dalton.
It should known that this young master Dalton was from the Dalton family of Zexin city. Their authority here was above all if you don’t count the seemingly almighty City Lord in the equation.
‘Maybe this is his first time here and doesn’t know of the matters here. No wonder he doesn’t care about him.’ She guessed and nodded to herself. She didn’t believe if he knew about his background, he would still have such nonchalant attitude.
She also hoped that she could be like that and disregard everything and live her life however she wanted but her family won’t allow her to.
She didn’t want to meet this young master Dalton when she decided to come here to take part in the recruitment tests. However, her family had already informed Dalton family of her arrival so she didn’t have any choice but to entertain him. She could only sigh thinking this.
In everyone’s eyes, she was a goddess who seemed have everything she needed but she didn’t even have any freedom to make any decision for herself. Therefore, she admired him for his freedom and his nonchalance.
Seeing Max initiating bidding contest for the sword with such carefree attitude, his driver was freaking out in his heart.
He knew who this young master Dalton was and that’s why helt antsy. He quickly scurried over to Max’s side and whispered in his ear. “Young master you can’t bid against them.”
Max frowned and asked in slightly displeased tone “Why can’t I?” He didn’t feel good when a mere servant of his family dared to prohibit him from doing what he wanted. However for the past few days, he came to know this driver’s personality and he knew that he wouldn’t say anything without a reason.
The driver gulped nervously and quickly explained “Young master although I don’t know who this young lady is, I know about this Dalton guys’s family. They are said to be the overlords of Zexin city despite not having any governmental position. Almost all of the city’s business are theirs and they control the very economy of this city. Hence, they are thousand times richer than Garfield family. If young master wants to win against them in bidding, even a few tens of thousands gold coins won’t do.” He knew that his young master wouldn’t have such money that’s why he urged him to not compete.𝑂𝒱𝓵xt.𝗇𝓔t
“What?” Max almost shouted aloud. He didn’t expect to encounter a walking ATM and dared to ignorantly think that his wealth of around one thousand gold coins would be enough to win against them.
Max quickly calmed down. He looked at him gratefully. It would have been too embarrassing to take out a handful of gold coins after boldly agreeing to bid.
Max looked at Miss Flavia and said “Beautiful Miss, I think I will pass this opportunity to compete against you because I just remembered a very important task that I’ve to attend to right now. Please you excuse me…”
After saying this, Max didn’t wait for her to respond walked toward the exit as if he really had some important task at hand.
“Thank you sir for letting me have the sword.” Miss Flavia said as Max walked past her. He could feel his face burning however, he just nodded and quickly disappeared in the crowd.
‘Do you think I would let you off just because you have given up on buying it? Dream on. No one can take liberties with the woman I have set my sights on.’ Dalton sneered.
…
Moon was shining with its soothing pale light and starts twinkled in the dark sky. Max was sitting in meditation strengthening his mana core. After leaving the blacksmith’s shop, Max didn’t buy any normal magic weapon. He decided to pass the test relying on his strength only.
In his opinion a weapon can only be helpful to him when he is out of mana and this was very unlikely to happen in the recruitment fights.
There were still two days left until recruitment started so he focused on improving his mana core and getting familiar with his increased physical strength and agility a bit more.
Two days quickly passed and the day of recruitment arrived. Max woke up early in the morning and got ready.
“Young master, breakfast is ready. Please come out.” Little Rou’s enthusiastic voice sounded from outside of his room. She has been happy since Max came to her home to live. He gave them ten gold coins and bought different types of magical beast meat and other precious ingredients for her to cook and he also let them eat the heavenly food that only nobles could eat.
After eating mana rich food for a few times, her sickly pale skin was regaining its healthy hue and her old grandfather’s health also seemed to improve. He could now walk around without his walking stick.
Creak!
Door opened and Max appeared in front of her. She looked up and stared at his smiling face and smiled. Just like Neer, she also felt that Max was an angle. No matter if you see his kind character or angelic visage with exception of Wings, everything seemed to resemble those angles in stories her grandpa told her.
Max rubbed his nose awkwardly and said “Is something on my face little Rou?”
Initially Max felt uncomfortable when people looked at him in awe because of his handsome visage. He used to think that this body wasn’t his but other Max’s.
However after getting his memories back, he felt that they both were one and so stopped minding small things.
Rou shook her head as head ponytails swayed, making Max chuckle. He patted her head and walked towards the room where they usually ate.
As they ate, Max noticed that Little Rou’s mood was down compared to a day before.
Max find it strange and asked “Is something wrong Rou? Did someone bullied you?”
She jolted, her eyes becoming hazy. She shook her head “No one bullied me.” She then asked almost in whisper “You are leaving today right?”
Her grandfather sighed seeing her like this. He knew that his granddaughter started to treat Max as their part of family because Max would treat her well and joke around with her. So now that he was leaving, she was feeling sad.
Max also understood why her mood was down. He didn’t know what to say. He also grew fond of this little girl. He smiled at her “Yes I’ll be leaving today. However, you don’t need to worry, I’ll visit you guys whenever I get free time.”
Little Rou’s mood brightened by a few notches and she nodded “Okay. Young master do your best in the recruitment.”
After finishing their meal, Max and others left their house and headed toward the square where recruitment will be held. However before leaving, Max gave the old a few tens of gold coins so that they would be self sufficient at least for a few years.
