Chapter 164: Would it be worse to be antagonized or being taken advantage of?
Huh?
Huuhh??
What the hell was this situation? I didn’t even know this old demon would come to the site, but even then, why did the one who had been actively ignoring my presence suddenly here?
And not just here; the Elder casually took a seat across from me. I could only watch as he clutched the backrest with one hand and his cane with the other.
[Master, why rude Grandpa here?]
Right? I had no idea too, my child! Could someone please explain this situation to me?!
As he took a seat and looked at me with an impassive but observing gaze, I roused up my vigilance. But I didn’t want to look so obviously guarded, so I still tried to relax my facial muscle as much as I could.
"Good evening," the old demon said after he settled on his seat, cane placed between his legs as he looked at me.
"...Good evening."
I decided to be graceful and returned his greeting, but not more. Perhaps because I was excitedly expecting Natha earlier, having someone who clearly wasn’t friendly in front of me just made me annoyed. So I just drank my herbal drink, zoning out of the stifling silence.
"Thank you for your effort," the Elder suddenly said, almost making me choke on my drink.
