Chapter 4: First Citizens
The sole man among the group of new arrivals had a relatively small frame, standing at just five and a half feet tall.
"Where is this place!?" he wondered aloud.
He seemed completely out of place standing alongside the two women.
Both his wife and daughter were bombshell beauties, radiating an allure that made them stand out.
"Dad, is what that woman said true?" the daughter asked hesitantly.
The man flinched slightly at the question, but anger quickly overtook his expression.
"Is it that hard for you to trust your father!?" he shouted. "Do you have any idea how much I've done for you? How much I've toiled to gather the money needed for your Class Bestowal? And now, just one stranger's lies are enough to make you doubt me!?"
The man's wife regarded him with a cold expression, which her daughter did not seem to notice.
"I didn't mean it like that, Dad. I was just confirming," she replied in a meek voice.
"Tch. Like I said, she was just making up some random excuse to pin the blame on me. People these days will believe anything a somewhat pretty woman says," he grumbled.
"Don't worry, Dad, I believe you. We'll start a new life here and leave the past behind us. You too, Mom—cheer up."
