Sterling Family, villa.
When Lymco returned here and entered the study, he saw Barry with a calm face but an unpleasant complexion.
Seeing Barry like this, Lymco couldn't help but think in his heart.
(So, you too can have such moments?)
Seeing his father in such a bad mood, Lymco felt not empathy but a sense of satisfaction.
His father had spent his life scheming against others, gaining benefits at their expense, and had hardly ever been at a disadvantage. Although he had not been disadvantaged today, he had been thwarted by a mere Adventurer, and that probably didn't sit well with him.
"Father."
Lymco's thoughts remained unspoken; he still respectfully greeted his father with a bow.
Barry glanced at Lymco, and just like last time, without any pleasantries, he went straight to the point.
"I didn't expect that an Adventurer would have no aspirations to become a Noble; I was careless this time."
Indeed, he had been careless.
