Chapter 820 I Shouldn't Have Been So Honest, I Apologize.
Astaria, Nux, and the others turned to the direction where the voice came from and saw 3 men walking towards them with rough smiles on their faces.
The three men wore the same dress and had a similar insignia on their imprinted on their chest, it was clear that the three of them were from the same clan.
Then, the man standing in the middle glanced at Nux\'s group, a glint showing in his eyes as he commented,
"And what\'s this? Why are a bunch of delicate-looking flowers trying to establish a Clan? Is the Order making things too easy for the Clans nowadays?
Also? Sword girl, are you sure you want to form a clan with them? You know joining our Destiny Clan would be a lot better for your destiny, right?"
The man questioned.
The two men standing behind him were impressed,
"Joining our Destiny Clan is a lot better for your destiny.
What a marvelous wordplay, Lord Graner."
"Indeed, the Clan should use this as their tagline.
I wonder how you came up with something so creative."
Hearing their words, Graner raised his head in pride.
"Graner."
Suddenly, Astaria called out.
Graner turned towards her and with a cold look on her face, Astaria replied,
"I already told you, I will not join your clan.
I am busy, don\'t cause a ruckus here.
Leave."
"Haaah? Who gave you the right to order me around, huh?
You think you can act around like that just because you are a Sword Aura user?
Do you think you actually have what it takes to threaten me?
Let\'s see, then."
Suddenly, the man grabbed a nearby chair and sat down.
"I won\'t leave.
Let\'s see what you can do."
"This bastard… he is started again…"
"He had his eyes on the Sword Girl for a long time now. Her skills are no joke after all.
But now that she is joining a new clan instead of his clan…
He won\'t like that."
"Huh? But does that allow him to act like that?"
"Well, what can you do? He clearly knows the rules laid out by the Order. Even if they have a Great Sage amongst them, he knows that she cannot attack him here, he is also making sure that he doesn\'t cross a line and give them a reason to attack.
Graner has always been like that, harassing his opponent till they lose control and get into trouble. Honestly, the best solution here is to just leave."
"What kind of solution is that? If you just leave, he is going to harass you every time he sees you!"
"Well, that\'s just your luck to get into his eyes.
You can\'t challenge him either,
Destiny is a strong clan with 5 Great Sage Cultivators holding the fort, you think he can go around acting like that without any support?"
The people gathered and started talking with each other.
Graner didn\'t stop them either, he rather enjoyed listening to them. Their helplessness in front of him, he liked it. It gave him a sense of power.
Also, since so many people have gathered, the physiological pressure on Sword Girl and her group would increase as well, if he successfully intimidates them and somehow recruits the Sword Girl into his clan, how amazing would that be?
Of course, those other women around the sword girls are allowed to join as well. Why would Graner deny someone as beautiful as them? Anyone other than that weak ass looking man was allowed to join.
Graner couldn\'t stop smiling as he imagined some juicy scenes in his mind.
"Hahahaha~"
While Graner was lost in his fantasy, and the crowd was talking amongst themselves, Nux suddenly laughed out loud.
"Star, can you believe this?
This is actually happening.
Someone is actually trying to bully me.
How long has it been since someone tried it?"
Nux questioned.
Astaria glanced at Graner and smiled a little as well.
\'Huh?\'
Graner\'s expression changed.
\'What is this?
She… she is smiling…? That sword girl has always been cold to everyone was actually smiling?\'
Graner\'s eyes then fell on the other women of the group and…
They were all smiling…
Shouldn\'t they be confused and intimidated right now?
Why are they smiling like him while looking at him…?
And…
Why do their smiles feel like they are mocking him…?
Graner\'s eyes then fell on the weak-looking man in the group, that man… he was walking towards him and there was a wide smile on his face.
A smile that seemed similar to what Graner had on his face when he had just walked into the building and saw Astaria and her group registering their Clan.
*Step*
\'Huh?\'
Graner was forced out of his reverie when Nux stepped on the chair he was sitting on, Nux brought his face close to Graner\'s and questioned,
"Are you that idiot who was bothering my wife and were continuously begging her to join your pathetic clan? She did say quite a lot about you."
"Nux, stop lying. I never told you about him.
There is no way I would have bothered to waste our time on someone as insignificant as him, after all."
"Star, I can\'t believe you are acting so brash.
What? Was living here for a year too much for you?
Where are your etiquettes?
Don\'t say those words out loud, okay?
So what if he is an insignificant character who people won\'t even remember after some while?
You can\'t just say he is useless right on his face, alright?
Don\'t respect him, but at least act like he exists, okay?"
Nux corrected his wife instantly.
She shouldn\'t disrespect others like that.
"Right, I apologize.
It seems hunting and extensively working on my strength for a year did have some negative impact on me."
Astaria accepted her mistake as well.
"Do not apologize to me.
Apologize to Mr. uhh… I mean, apologize to this guy sitting here."
Nux pointed at Graner.
"Yes." Astaria then glanced at Graner and nodded politely,
"I shouldn\'t have been so honest,
I apologize."
