The strange look in Charlie's eyes disappeared right away. Turning around in pleasant surprise, he looked at the black-haired young man who had somehow appeared out of nowhere and said incoherently. "I-I'm not looking at anything. Boss, you're b-back. A big earthquake has hit the farm this afternoon..."
He suddenly caught sight of the ghost-like paleness of the young man's face and choked on his words. After a long moment of bafflement, he asked anxiously, "W-What's wrong with you, boss?"
"It's nothing Charlie, I merely paid a price to get some strategic power to become the 'overlord' on the chessboard. Haven't you heard of this saying before, 'If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight first'?" An irrepressible joy appeared on the face of the black-haired young man as he said casually.
