Chapter 555 - 549. Dream Team
When the Iron Mountain arrived at the main base, everyone--espers and guides alike--couldn’t help but look at him with awe and nervousness.
People in Trinity had, to some extent, used to the presence of a Saint class because of Bassena. But Bassena was young, and even though he was scary at first, he was rather friendly when they became familiar with him. Furthermore, he had become even softer after Zein’s arrival in his life.
The Iron Mountain, on the other side, had a different aura that not only came from age, but also experience. He was around the same age as the old patriarch of House Horin, but they had completely different gazes and physiques. As someone who was always in the field before, and kept his exercise on the mountain, Tian Yu did not look as if he had taken almost four decades off the field.
Naturally, the ones who were most excited--but turned to be staying still, stunned, and star-struck--were the Iron Shield and the defenders. Even Banner, who was usually reserved, came forward to have a better view.
For the Iron Shield, especially, it was even more special because the Iron Mountain was Alteroan’s teacher, so they couldn’t help but look at him with reverence.
"You did a good job," the old man commented as he took a look around.
"We tried our best," Zein smiled, unknowingly feeling proud.
"You surely aren’t shy about using your money."
Zein smirked and said quietly. "It’s not my money."
"Right, it’s the money of this rascal’s husband," the old man laughed while pointing at Han Joon who was escorting him, startling the people in the main base who were pretending like they weren’t gawking but the stare could easily be felt even without the mighty detection skill. "And what about yours?"
Zein wouldn’t react usually, but for some reason, he felt rather bashful. Perhaps because Tian Yu for him kind of felt like a grandfather, as someone who knew Alteroan--even more than the Iron Shield, if Zein could be honest.
