Chapter 216: The Perfect Shield
"Uhm... Are you okay?"
Jason turned to face Juliet when she suddenly asked this question, and Juliet held her bag in front of her nervously while talking in a more understanding tone.
"I saw the news about your house burning down and everything. It must’ve been hard for you and your girlfriend."
Jason hummed calmly as he turned to the side and saw that Griselda was also looking at him worriedly. He just waved away their concern and told them that he was fine. It was just a house that burned down, so it wasn’t a big deal. Besides, he had already planned on moving to a new place before everything happened, so it wasn’t like he didn’t have anywhere to go.
Jason’s dismissive attitude only made Juliet more worried since she knew that Jason was not the sort of person to talk about his feelings, but she could tell that Jason wasn’t interested in sharing what happened, so she nodded along and excused herself as she began making a call for someone to pick up the crystal and Gold Coin.
"I think it was the work of some rival guild that found out you already promised to join my guild."
Griselda was the one who spoke from her place against the wall. Jason turned to see that she had a sagely look on her face, like some sort of wise man on a mountain giving wisdom to his student. Jason asked her what the hell she was talking about, and Griselda continued.
"Those other guilds are just jealous of us! Don’t worry, Jason. I know things were hard, but you can rest easy now. I’ll make sure they never try something like that again!"
Jason gave Griselda a look of absolute confusion.
’What the hell is this crazy girl talking about?’
