Chapter 345: Is It An Enemy…?

....

"???" Clawdia shot her eyes back to Azmond before she heard him continue with, "You're her big sister, and I wouldn't want her to be sad over your pain, so I took it upon myself to 'assist' you for my own benefit."

His words echoed out in an indifferent tone, as he genuinely believed that he was doing it for himself.

"..." She scrutinized the look on his face before she repeated, "For yourself, huh?"

"Yes, for myself."

"..."

Clawdia didn't know what take she had on the existence called Azmond.

Was he kind? Was he a pervert? Was he a good man?

But, in the midst of her thoughts, she blurted out, "You have been good to my sister, haven't you"

Azmond turned his impassive gaze toward the relieved look on her face before he said, "I did it for myself."

Following such a familiar answer, he got up from his position, as Calwdia had already been fully healed by his 'Minor Heal' skill.

"..." Clawdia's relieved expression only became more noticeable after hearing his answer, as she was glad.

She was glad that her baby sister had found a nice man to help her out when she was at her lowest point.

There was nothing that would have pleased her more than viewing such a good piece of news in person.

Calista had explained her time with Azmond earlier; however, it felt better to witness his personality in person.

And she was glad to say that it looked like her sister made the right choice by following this mysterious man around.

Her softened eyes swiveled back towards Azmond's figure, as she figured she would stay around a little longer.

Just to make sure her sister was doing well, of course

Why did he already term it an 'encounter'? Well, it was because he could practically feel the hostility oozing out from hundreds of thousands of miles away.

And all of that hostility seemed to be directed toward him and only him.

-

*Sigh*

Azmond lamented his fate for becoming part of one troublesome event after another.

|You going to meet that energy signature head on?| Boundless asked from on top of Azmond's head.

*Jiggle Jiggle*

Her body ricocheted a little after asking such an obvious question.

And it didn't take long before Boundless got the answer she thought she would, as he said, "Of course."

Azmond's blue eyes flipped through the people around him, as he knew that getting his future guild members involved would not be optimal.

So, after feeling the hostile aura signature get even closer to their location, he simply said, "I have to go and meet a guest. I'll be right back, okay?"

His voice came out in a dry tone, but even if it sounded like he wasn't taking the situation very seriously, everyone else could feel that something was wrong.

"..." "..." "..."

Everybody went silent for a second, seemingly analyzing his words.

Until finally

"Is it an enemy?" Clawdia asked.

Azmond looked toward the busty catkin woman and couldn't help but find it funny that she was the first one to speak up, given that she was his enemy not even a few minutes ago.

But regardless of their past bad blood, he said, "Yes, at least, it's highly likely."

He wasn't going to sugarcoat it for them, as they deserved to know the truth as well. But more than that, he was just too lazy to come up with a plausible excuse
