FVN Chapter 115 Wannabe Spherical Lighthouse
Chapter 115 Wannabe Spherical Lighthouse
Hearing Lucian's words, everyone at the scene was momentarily confused. They looked from Lucian to in front of him, only to be stunned.
... In front of Lucian was Garm!
'No way... right?' They all gulped nervously. 'How big are his balls to dare make fun of a Mana King Realm Mage?'
Even Hervy would not dare say such words out loud... saying them in his head was an entirely different matter.
Meanwhile, Lily bit down on her lip, trying her best not to laugh. Garm was truly a large person, and because they were standing so close to him, his massive body blocked even the sunlight from shining down on them.
He really was like a wall.
Albert's neutral expression changed. He could not believe someone dared insult his Master. He raised his hand, wanting to summon dozens of portals to slice his body in mincemeat, but Garm stopped him.
"You... have some guts brat." The smile on Garm's face was stiff.
Lucian blinked and pricked his ears with his finger, causing Lily to frown and pinch his arm.
However, Lucian ignored the pain and wondered out loud to himself, "Since when can a wall talk? Is this some kind of prank?"
He scratched his head as though he was genuinely curious.
"There must be someone behind the wall thinking they can fool me." Lucian snorted with a face full of realization and used his Mana Sense to investigate.
As his Mana Sense spread outwards, Lucian's expression shifted to astonishment.
But before he could continue, James hurriedly said while signaling Lucian with his narrowed, beady eyes. "Sir Garm, before you continue to speak, take into consideration if you can afford to offend the Orchard Family."
Garm and Albert frowned and turned their heads in James' direction.
"What are you trying to imply? Do you think I don't know the Orchard Family rules?"
Garm pointed at Lucian and questioned, "Why would they protect him?"
James internally smiled cunningly. This was it! He did not expect this was how he would end up recruiting Lucian, but it did not matter to him. The road that led him here was inconsequential. As a Merchant only the desired outcome mattered.
"Lucian is part of the Orchard Family." He announced calmly, shocking everyone present except for Lucian, who had expected James to say those words after he had signaled with his eyes.
[Host, because of your foolishness, you are now tied to the Orchard Family and owe James again.] The System said all of a sudden in an annoyed tone. [As the future Transcendent Chef, how can you be tied down by a Mortal family?]
The System then continued in a mocking tone, [Was this also part of your plan?]
[Since when did you become sassy? Actually don't answer that. Anyway, this is of course part of my grand plan of getting rich.] Lucian said with full confidence. [As a Merchant Family, they'll be loaded. Being part of their family would only benefit me, rather than being a hindrance.]
[They pay me and I'll cook for them. Not only that, I'll have a powerful backer. It's a win-win in my books.] Lucian added.
[Tch.] The System did not believe him one bit. He definitely came up with that on the spot!
[If the Host becomes part of the Orchard Family, you will be duty-bound to cook for free.]
Lucian did not immediately respond, choosing his right to remain silent.
[I'm confident I can make the Orchards pay for my food!] Lucian's tone was still that of confidence, leaving the System speechless.
