Michael, of course, is happy that he would get an Epic Ranked Item, but at the same time, he was reluctant to receive it. After all, even though this is just a game, the people inside this game world act no differently like real people, and people...are a mixture of good and bad.

So Michael doesn’t know what would happen if he receives a valuable item like this. After all, the people in front of him are still nobles who would certainly ask him for something.

Duke Cympyr, on the other hand, already knows what Micheal is thinking, so he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Don’t worry, we’re not asking for a lot by giving you something valuable like that, Mr. Shadow. All I ask is that if the Duchy is ever in dire straits, then I hope you wouldn’t hesitate to lend us a helping hand"

"No problem! I would certainly fly here the second I hear that you guys are in trouble!"

Michael righteously said while hitting his chest, like he was some kind of a hero who delivers justice to evildoers!

"Right, before I forget. Do make sure to send some people at that Dungeon. After all, the portal was just temporarily destroyed, and while I’m talking about it, it’s probably already undergoing its self-repairing process, so I would be really grateful if you could send a group of knights from time to time to prevent it from fully repairing itself"

"Don’t worry, I will personally handle this task," Beatrice said with absolute confidence in herself.

After some small talk, Michael left the state and sent a message to Viper to meet up at the city square.

Meanwhile, just a few minutes after Michael left.

"Father, was it really okay to give him that sword? That was our family heirloom, what if he goes back on his word?" Beatrice turned towards her father, as the family of three stood in front of their front door.

"If he does, then Sage Laura had certainly mistaken about the young man," Duke Cympyr said, his face only a little bit worried at best, probably because he felt that the impression he got from Michael is that he’s a reliable person.

At the same time, the duke is praying to the gods that this place wouldn’t be embroiled in the chaos that would happen in the near future.

Arnold suddenly remembered something and turned to his daughter with a huge grin on his face, and said: "It looks like you like him, isn’t that right, my dear daughter?"

Beatrice’s face quickly turned red when she heard what her father said, while Helen laughed heartily as she looked at her daughter with encouraging eyes.

"Then you really need to work hard, that man might be weaker than you right now, but in the future, he would surely stand at the peak of this world like his teacher"

Beatrice didn’t say anything, and she just stared at Michael’s slowly disappearing figure in the distance along with a thoughtful look on her face.

On the other hand.

Viper quickly made his way over towards the direction of the city square while talking to someone through private messaging.

[I’m still stuck at Cympyr Duchy, so we won’t be able to play together for the time being. Don’t worry, I’m meeting up with Michael right now, it seems he found a way to quickly travel to Sharval Kingdom] Viper said.

[Okay, I’ll be home tomorrow night around 8 pm, as I still need to deal with something with my client, don’t forget to drive the kids to school tomorrow, okay?]

A player called Valla replied to his message.

[Alright, you don’t need to remind me. I’ll pick you up at the airport tomorrow night then] Viper said.

[Okay, also don’t forget to pick them up after school, alright?] Valla said.

Viper said, [Sure will don’t worry about it. I’m not like that guy, I won’t forget.]

[I know, it’s just...anyway, I’m logging off now, I love you, babe!] Valla said.

[Hey, it’s fine. I love you too, okay? Bye, Tigress!] Viper laughed.

[Shut up!] Valla angrily replied.

[Call me if you get yourself into a pinch, okay?]

[I will don’t worry]

After that, Viper quickly picked up his pace while he skillfully evaded the crowd of people around him.

"The heck took you so long?" Michael snorted with crossed arms, and behind him is a magnificent fountain with couples standing or sitting around it.

"Shut up brat. I was talking to my woman, unlike someone" Viper snorted.

The city square is actually in a round shape with a pavement road, in the middle of it is a huge and magnificent fountain with shops of a different variety surrounding it.

"It seems news hadn’t reached you yet, but I’m going with Amanda tomorrow" Michael arrogantly brushed his hair aside.

"Like a date?" Viper asked.

"Maybe...?" Michael shrugged his shoulders, as he really doesn’t know anything about it when Amanda called him earlier.

"Then it’s not a date, don’t try to one-up me if you can’t brat" Viper coldly laughed.

"You are an annoying old man who acts like you’re a teenager," Michael said with disdain as he started walking away.

"Says an annoying brat who does nothing all day but fantasize the woman of his dreams"

"F*ck you, old man!"

*****

Two players are currently traveling on a dirt road heading towards the direction of Orvon Kingdom, and around them is a wide plain that stretches far towards the horizons, with small monsters like slimes, horned rabbits, lone goblins and many more that roams the plain, with a lot of low leveled players hunting them for the experience points.

While there’s even some of them looking at the white Sabertooth in envy as it passed by them.

"So we’re headed to Orvon Kingdom?" Viper asked while riding on the back of his Sabertooth Tiger.

"Yep, the Duke told me that there’s a teleportation platform in their capital. Well, it’s the Church of Freya who has it, I just hope that we’ll be able to use it thought when we arrive there" Michael replied, still riding on his horse that he had bought back when he was still at Haven City.

Viper didn’t say anything but just looked at Michael’s mount, and finally opened his mouth and said, "You really need to change your mount as we’re going too slow!"

"F*ck off, mind your business old man!"

"There’s like tens of beast mounts posted at the auction site, you really should get something better for yourself" Viper sneered.

"I don’t need them, they are only uncommon grade mounts, besides I don’t a new mount because I’m going to get a dragon mount for myself in the future!" Michael said, his expression is already saying that it would certainly turn out to be true in the future!

"Yeah right, where the heck would you even get a dragon?" Viper sneered, but at the same time, he also started having some ambitious thoughts of also getting a flying dragon mount for himself!

"We’ll see"

Michael just smiled, as they continued on the road till dusk before they eventually returned to reality.
