Chapter 244: Does He Think I'm Impotent??

...

The City Lord went on a long rant about how Azmond could make it through his 'predicament' and 'persevere', all while emphasizing the underlying point about being extra cautious when he encounters Clawdia Moonweaver.

"..." 'Does this old dude think I'm impotent or something? Why does he keep talking about my 'youth' and my 'blood heating up one of these days'?'

Azmond was beginning to feel like the Old City Lord could use a good smack on the head!

However, he had to calm himself.

The old dude had just become so old over the years that he had acquired dementia and Alzheimer's, not to mention how senile he was!

'I truly pity the old dude... It must be tough on his brittle bones to go through so much involving his wife only to wind up losing all of his cognitive abilities... Hopefully bringing that 'Miracle Drug' or whatever back to him will help reverse most of the stupidity that ails him.'

Both Azmond and the Old City Lord looked at each other with empathetic gazes, as they both thought the other to be an extremely unfortunate soul.

"Don't worry, old dude, I will be back in no time flat. But for now, I think you should really take care of those citizens down there," Azmond said with a finger pointed to the millions of citizens gathered below.

Their audience had already accumulated to such a high number without either of them knowing the better. And every single one of them was looking up at the two of them with varying expressions.

"Who is the City Lord talking to?"

"I heard it was a strong adventurer or something like that! But I also heard that the adventurer in question is only C-Rank."

"Such a thing makes one wonder how someone a few major realms weaker managed to make acquaintances with someone of such a high status?"

"Well, who knows these days? The City Lord has even made 'deals' with the Monsters, so it wouldn't surprise me that he'd lower himself to make friends with a mere C-Rank," scoffed a large man.

His chuckle faded out as he turned away from the City Lord, soon disappearing from view.

It was a feat that not a single person within the crowd seemed to be able to track. However, there was one particular figure within the millions of people down below that was able to catch a glimpse of his movementsmovements that not even the City Lord himself would find a trace of.

This figure was fully cloaked, with his face unable to be discerned from the front. However, even though indiscernible, there appeared to be a change in that emotionless figure's countenance.

'An anomaly in the City of RiverBloom. I must report this back to my Queen Her daughter has been looking for any traces of a man who seems to match this man's mannerisms. And if this man truly is the same person Princess Aqua is always yammering about, then this is big newsbig news indeed.'

The cloaked figure's thoughts seemed to become static toward the end; at least until a person suddenly walked by

and then he was no longer there

....

|Hey, Azmond!?|

A bubbly voice sounded out as two milky white melons plopped over the top of Azmond's head.

They had been traveling for around a day now, killing many monsters on their way to the 'heart of the Great Wildlands Forest'.

The amount of experience Azmond acquired had been quite lucrative as well.

However, that was just a bonus; his one and only objective for the moment was to find the perfect 'Monster King' to take a disguise as.

"Yes?" Azmond responded to Boundless, followed by a heavy sigh escaping his lips.

|Are We Almost There Ye-|
