The old man could only think of the adult Earth Bear when a girl described something as more terrible than anything else. As for the accompanying Guard Team, they were completely ignored.
Everyone has some followers, right? Even though he is a mere merchant on the surface, in the dark, he is a notorious "Big Shot" on the Continent.
Regrettably, as a big shot, he is rather unfortunate. He cannot strut about like other bigwigs, but instead, he spends his days hiding for fear of exposing his true identity.
Not staying in one place for long, apart from facilitating directing his subordinates, is to avoid causing suspicion once the locals get too familiar with him.
It wouldn't matter much if it was just the old man; even if his identity was exposed, he could escape. However, with a little granddaughter, it would be much difficult to make a smooth getaway.
