Randy directly heading to the second floor where his 'acquaintance' was waiting for him. Before, the second floor was where Mika's and Uncle Daniel's family lived. But now, they moved to the Evergreen City.
When Randy arrived on the second floor, his 'acquaintance' was sitting at the table, waiting for him. Noticing someone came up, the man turned his head and saw Randy.
The man immediately stood up with an unnatural smile on his face, the man approached Randy and said in a friendly tone, "Brother, I have been waiting for you for a while. How is it? Is your important matter went smoothly?"
"Oh," Randy was surprised by how friendly his acquaintance. It was like they were a childhood friend.
The man in the front of him was Zhang Hao, the smiling man. Randy first time met Zhang Hao at the East Auction House. At that time, Zhang Hao was threatening Zhen Yi with his family, but he made this smiling man shut his mouth with his Agility Burst and Darkness.
In the morning when he saw Zhang Hao was waiting for him in the front of his guild headquarters he surprised. But from how this smiling man acted as humble as possible when met him, Randy decided to act tough.
The waiter of the Happy Restaurant said Zhang Hao had been waiting from the early morning, 6.30 a.m. As Randy still harbored grudge with Zhang Hao despite he already vented it out in the Ascension Tournament, he made this smiling man to keep waiting more and went to the East Blacksmith.
But to his surprise, Zhang Hao didn't lose his temper. The smiling man even sent him off with that awkward smile of his. Now, Zhang Hao even acted friendly which made him uncomfortable.
With the kind attitude of Zhang Hao, Randy could not treat him with a hostile manner. But Randy still put his indifferent expression of his.
"It's all right," Randy nodded his head and took a seat in the opposite where Zhang Hao sat earlier.
Even though Randy didn't offer him to sit, Zhang Hao directly sat in the Randy opposite.
Just as Zhang Hao took a seat, Randy asked with a flat tone, "Have you had breakfast?"
Hearing Randy's words, Zhang Hao looked bright. He indeed had not eaten breakfast yet. He thought Randy would invite him to eat breakfast.
"Not yet," Zhang Hao answered truthfully.
"Oh," Randy let out a light voice before saying, "Then you shall go back early and eat your breakfast as I have my breakfast,"
Zhang Hao, "..."
"So… what you wanted to say with me? It seems important for you to wait from early morning," After teasing Zhang Hao, Randy asked the main topic as he looked Zhang Hao with great interest, curious what this smiling man wanted to say.
He remembered that what Udin said in the morning to him that the man who was looking for him was one of his bullying victims.
Randy could not help but smile remembering what Udin said. One of his bullying victims.
'Indeed, one of my bullying victims,'
But his face was not as bloody as he got beaten by Randy in the Ascension Tournament. Of course, it was normal. With healing potion, his face would back to normal just a matter of time.
Zhang Hao was uncomfortable when Randy smiled. Nevertheless, he reminded himself what his purpose to come here. So, he maintained his unnatural smile.
"My purpose to come here is to apologize to you, brother. I wanted to apologize for my rudeness four months ago. I apologize for threatening you and I hope you will not harbor a deep grudge with me,"
Yes, Zhang Hao finally lowered his pride and apologized to Randy for his family's future. He didn't want for his stupid pride, his family would face a monster like Randy.
Zhang Hao realized the man in the front was a monster after he fought Randy at Ascension Tournament. He aware how strong Randy was. He believed that even a hundred of him could not fight Randy.
At first, he was reluctant to apologize. But later, the Happy Guild killed Territory King after Territory King. This new circulated fast as the Happy Guild let the onlookers watched them killed the Territory King.
Zhang Hao often heard that Randy could face the Territory King alone which scared him to the core. He knew the truth behind the Territory King as he also once tried raiding a Territory King with the Dragon Dynasty's core forces.
The post in the forum was a fake info. It was the Dragon Dynasty's trick. The truth was the beast the Dragon Dynasty raided was King Grade Beast, level 100 King Grade Beast. He knew this as he was one of the Dragon Dynasty's core force at that time.
But King Grade Beast which made the Dragon Dynasty's core forces helpless. Not only that, but the core forces also slaughtered by the Territory King.
Yet the monster in the front of him could kill the Territory King. Moreover, three days ago, Randy became a hot topic in the forum as he soloed King Grade Beast with level 128 which made his body shuddered.
Knowing this, Zhang Hao understood that he must apologize to Randy less the monster would revenge for him for the what happened at the East Auction House as he angered Randy at that time.
Even though Zhang Hao didn't know if Randy would seek a revenge for the slightest grievance. But it was better safe than sorry. He didn't want to risk his family for this hilarious thing. Although he knew it was impossible for Randy to look trouble for now as their territory was far apart, but... what about in the future?
"Oh, so you are here to apologize? If I am not mistaken, you are not only rude to me but also to my wife," Randy was surprised inwardly after hearing Zhang Hao apologized to him. Nevertheless, he still put a nonchalant expression of his.
Without further explanation, Zhang Hao understood the underlying Randy's words. Randy wanted him also apologize to Zhen Yi. Recalling the event four months ago, indeed his target was Zhen Yi, not Randy.
Randy also angry because he was threatening Zhen Yi. But the problem was hard to meet Zhen Yi. Since they Evergreen City built. The core members of Happy Guild rarely back to East City. He noticed this as he asked one of member Dragon Dynasty member to keep eyes at Happy Guild's headquarter.
"But Zhen Yi never come back to East City since your guild built Evergreen City. So, I don't have a chance to…" Zhang Hao said in a low voice as he didn't want to apologize to Zhen Yi. He thought apologizing to Randy was enough.
"Oh, then will you apologize to me if today I don't come to East City?" Even though Randy's voice still the same indifferent, but his tone was more distant than before which made Zhang Hao's heart tightened.
Zhang Hao cursed himself when he came out his lame excuse when Randy asked him to apologize to Zhen Yi.
Looking at the Zhang Hao who was struggling to look for an excuse, Randy didn't know whether to laugh or felt sympathy to this smiling man. Even though Randy angry when he threatened Zhen Yi with him and his family, but he didn't have the plan to revenge for this trifling matter.
He never planned to attack the Dragon Dynasty or wage war as long as the Dragon Dynasty didn't look trouble for him, his family, or his guild. But about asked this smiling man to apologize to Zhen Yi, it was true.
He was serious when he told Zhang Hao to apologize to his wife. Looking at the struggled Zhang Hao, Randy shook his head.
"So, you have apologized to me. Is there anything else you wanted to say to me? If you only wanted to apologize to me, then it's done, I need to go," Randy wanted to end this meaningless talk. Also, he didn't want to force this smiling man to apologize to his wife.
Just as he stood up, Zhang Hao stopped Randy, "Wait, wait. There are more than I wanted to say to you, but…"
'But I don't know if you accept my apology or not, because I can't tell you what I want to say next if you don't accept my apology,' the latter words stuck in his words.
'It looks like I need to apologize to Zhen Yi before he accepts my apology. If he doesn't accept my apology, then it's sure that he will refuse what I want to say next,' Zhang Hao sighed inwardly with these thoughts.
He never gave an apology or admitted mistakes to anyone besides his father and grandfather. But now, he already lowered his pride to apologize to the man in the front, yet this man wanted him to give an apology to his woman too.
But what he could do? He could not afford or anger the man in the front. It was sure it would bring disaster if he had a dispute with the man in the front. Even though he could not befriend, at least he didn't want to become Randy's enemy.
While Zhang Hao was in a deep thought, struggling to tell his main purpose or gave apology first to Zhen Yi, Randy's voice rang in his ears, "But what?"
"Can you please call Zhen Yi to meet me? I want also to apologize to her," Zhang Hao chose the latter option. Apologizing to Zhen Yi first then told Randy his main purpose.
Randy didn't know if Zhang Hao was sincere or not with his words. But somehow, he felt this smiling man was serious this time. Also, after he watched Zhang Hao's expression from the time to time. He felt there was a problem bogging him down.
But Randy didn't care what his problem was. Looking at his expression which was serious and his tone was sincere, Randy promised him, "Alright, tomorrow, you can come here at 8 a.m and I will bring Zhen Yi with me,"
