Chapter: 433
The anger had died down a little in Jay’s heart by now, so he couldn’t be bothered to go out and actually seek revenge – but he would probably still take it if given the opportunity; unfortunately, the more he thought about it, the more he wanted it.
The thought of revenge was like a fire being kindled, it would only want more and more fuel as it blazed wildly – eventually consuming its maker..
Jay had a bitter expression as he continued walking, and for quite some time too; it was like the pleasant, sunny day around him no longer existed.
Thankfully it passed, and soon enough he snapped out of it.
“At least I have started to enjoy dungeons… they couldn’t take that from me.” he nodded with a small half-smile.
“And I’m basically the strongest novice adventurer in Losla, maybe I should be thanking the smug prick” he chuckled.
Jay entered the floating mana-stone gate with a gentle smile, satisfied with how far he had come as he looked for Anya.
Of course, other adventurers immediately started chatting as soon as they saw the local celebrity.
“Hey, it’s him. Looks like he slept in?” one adventurer said off to the side.
“Nah, he probably just got back from a dungeon. Most people his level start slaying before the sun even comes up…”
“Yikes… I barely even get up before lunch time, heh” he shrugged.
Jay ignored their chatter as he went past, heading towards the association – though he didn’t walk too far before he noticed Anya, shooting targets at the archery range.
Jay had a sly smile as he tried to sneak up on her. Other adventurers’ eyes bulged as they saw this – who tries to sneak up on the guild master’s daughter?
Many gave disapproving looks as they watched him, shaking their fingers and their heads – but none said anything.
Jay was getting closer and closer, taking a deep breath as he prepared to screech at her – similar to how the dihexapede squealed.
“Closer… closer…” Jay thought, his mischievous smile getting bigger and bigger.
Until finally he was ready to pounce…
“Hi, Jay.” Anya said casually.
She didn’t even turn around as she released another bolt, hitting a moving target like it was nothing.
Jay immediately stopped crouching, and scratched his head with a slight daze of wonder.
“Hi. Ready to go?”
Anya turned to Jay with a knowing smile, and was now reloading her crossbow.
“Aren’t you gonna talk to Viladore?” she put a bolt in before picking up her crossbow.
“Oh yeah… Uh, just give me a sec. He didn’t say it was training so it will probably be quick.” he shrugged.
Jay quickly headed into the association and greeted Margaret with a smile.
