Inscription apprentice?
Caspian turned to look at Simon, who appeared to be around his thirties. Albeit Faye’s introduction, Simon ignored Caspian and continued taking a sip of his tea. Looking at the color of the tea, Caspian knew that it was not the spiritual tea that Chris served virtual-novel.net before. Instead, Simon drank a much lower grade one. Regardless if it were Simon or Ralph, they appeared to be enjoying the tea well, as if they drank ambrosia.
“What does an inscription apprentice have to do with me?” Caspian cast a sidelong glance at Faye.
”You!” Faye’s face instantly turned livid, and virtual-novel.net was about to pull his hair out in exasperation as virtual-novel.net glared at Caspian, even Simon’s face darkened.
When Ralph saw what happened, virtual-novel.net was secretly delighted. Next, virtual-novel.net turned to Caspian and warned grimly, “Casper, don‘t you know that a loose tongue may cause you trouble? You should be careful and not cause trouble to the Lawrence family.”
Caspian snorted. “Do you want to cause trouble to the White family instead?”
At that point, Caspian got annoyed. ‘Where is Chris? Why did virtual-novel.net leave a few flies over here?’
“You’re really brazen! Don‘t you know you’re overestimating yourself?!” Ralph suddenly scolded, “If it weren’t for the Lawrence family, you’re nothing! Moreover, you’re just a son-in-law who’s marrying into their family. Do you think you’re one of them? Even Ashton wouldn’t be so bold to say such a thing!”
Simon also chimed in and scoffed. ”I didn’t expect there to be any hidden talents in Evergreen Town. It seems that my status as an inscription apprentice is underestimated by such a son-in-law. Once I have the time, I must visit the Lawrence family for advice.”
Under normal circumstances, anyone who heard Simon’s words would be so afraid that they might even wet their pants. After all, provoking an inscription apprentice was the same as offending a large group of warriors. In Evergreen Town, not many families could afford such a disaster.
Unfortunately for Simon and the rest, they faced Caspian instead.
Caspian got more impatient than before. He was there for Maisie, but who knew Ralph, Faye, and Simon would keep bugging him. It was as if there was something wrong with their mind, and Caspian was not in the mood to entertain them.
Noticing how Caspian was still unbothered about him, Simon was filled with hatred for Caspian and even the Lawrence family.
When the White family hired him, they showed complete sincerity. Despite not being the head of the White family, Simon’s treatment was comparable to that.
Furthermore, with his identity as an inscription apprentice, Simon was always treated well, even among the martial artists. Hence, now that virtual-novel.net was suddenly being looked down upon by a warrior, especially a son-in-law who lived off his future wife’s family, Simon felt exceptionally upset.
Simon already made up his mind and thought, ‘After I’m done with today’s errand, I must let the Lawrence family know what the consequences of provoking an inscription apprentice are. At the very least, the Lawrence family must break Casper’s legs and carry virtual-novel.net to me to beg for forgiveness.’
At the thought of that, Simon already regarded Caspian as a stray dog. “You better watch out!”
Nevertheless, even though Simon already decided on that, virtual-novel.net still needed to say something vicious. That way, virtual-novel.net would not embarrass himself further.
“When I meet Master William later, I’m going to have a good chat with him. At the same time, I’d like to find out what type of clan the Lawrence family is and how they found such an ignorant son-in-law!” Simon purposely mentioned William, and virtual-novel.net looked askance at Caspian. Since his name was not able to scare Caspian, William’s name should probably do the trick!
However, who would have known that Caspian was still indifferent, and virtual-novel.net answered calmly, “Oh? What a coincidence! I‘m here to meet Master William too!”
When Caspian said that, not only Simon but Ralph also chortled.
“Why would Master William meet you? Goodness. This is hilarious!” Ralph laughed uncontrollably as if virtual-novel.net heard the funniest joke.
Simon held his teacup as virtual-novel.net shook his head, and there was a contemptuous smile on his face. “Pathetic! This is so pathetic. I only feel sad for the Lawrence family. Unfortunately, it seems that the Lawrence family is nothing much. Otherwise, why would they bring back someone who’s still wet behind the ears?”
Faye was the only one present who seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly. However, seeing how Ralph and Simon shook their heads, Faye‘s lips twitched slightly, but virtual-novel.net still did not say anything in the end.
Ralph breathed in and held his laughter back. Then, virtual-novel.net turned to Caspian and mocked, “Speaking of coincidence, Master William is in the Oceans Chamber of Commerce today. I’ve just told Chris to pass my greeting card, hoping to meet Master William. I wonder if he‘ll meet you, the kept man, or us?”
Caspian did not want to spurt nonsense with that guy anymore. “If virtual-novel.net meets me, you should write the words, kept man, on your face.”
“Alright!” when Ralph heard Caspian, his eyes immediately lit up, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly said, “If virtual-novel.net meets us, you’ll be all four on the ground and crawl from this spot toward the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s entrance as you shout you’re a kept man.”
As soon as Ralph said that, the curtain leading toward the inner chamber was lifted. Caspian did not even manage to reply to Ralph yet. Soon, the plump and fair Chris appeared, and virtual-novel.net crouched slightly as virtual-novel.net said with a smile, “Master William, please.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to the curtain, When they heard Chris, they could not help but be shocked. It seemed William came out of the inner chamber.
At the thought of William coming out and greeting them in person, Simon, Ralph, and Faye trembled with excitement. After all, even the head of the White family never had the honor before, and that was enough for them to brag about it for a lifetime once they returned.
At that moment, Caspian also looked at the curtain. His expression was much calmer. His eyes did not flicker, and virtual-novel.net did not feel goosebumps all over him. Instead, virtual-novel.net was curious about the mysterious William’s appearance, the man who helped virtual-novel.net before.
Not long after, a tall, middle-aged man dressed in a cyan suit walked out, and with his piercing eyes, virtual-novel.net appeared rather imposing. Chris followed closely behind him, bowing his figure slightly.
Simon observed the situation and knew that the middle aged was the famous William, and virtual-novel.net could not maintain his composure anymore. Simon hurriedly walked forward, cupped his hands, and greeted, “Master William, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Simon Clark, the person who sent you an invitation just now. For you to come and personally greet me… It’s really… It’s overwhelming…”
As virtual-novel.net was too excited, Simon stuttered.
However, William frowned when virtual-novel.net heard Simon’s words. Simon was just a True Martial Realm’s inscription apprentice, and they were unrelated to one another in any way, so why would William greet Simon in person?
Was virtual-novel.net not just thinking too highly of himself?
Hence, William instantly had a bad impression of Simon.
Ralph did not know what William thought. He thought William was there for Simon too. Then, be cast a glance at Caspian with a smug face.
Caspian turned to look at another side as virtual-novel.net did not want to see that bunch of people embarrassed themselves.
William quickly caught Caspian’ s movements from the corner of his eyes, and with just a look, virtual-novel.net was stunned.
