Chapter 29: Back in Stonehold City
On this day, a carriage drawn by two magical beasts was seen leaving Gellock City.
This was Adrian and the kids, along with another young man.
The young man whose name was John was a slave that Adrian had bought in Gellock City.
He was around 18 years old and was an ordinary mortal whom Adrian had hired. He was an orphan that Adrian found on one of his tours of the city with the children.
Initially, Adrian was against hiring a mortal, but he could only relent in front of Olivia's pleading. He reluctantly approached him and offered him a job. The only reason he hired him was so they could have a coachman for their wagon.
Even though he could do it, he felt like it would be a waste of his time. The young man was naturally elated and immediately agreed without hesitation.
To Adrian, it was a spontaneous decision, but for John, it was a chance of a lifetime. As a resident of the city, he knew that the major powers had people with Golden Core realm strength.
To be able to work for someone whose strength was directly below that was a heaven-sent opportunity. If not for Adrian stopping him, he would have prostrated himself and started kissing his feet then and there.
The four returned to the courtyard, and with a warning from Adrian, the magical beasts calmed down and didn't make any trouble for John.
