It was still 8 o''clock in the morning and yet there was already so much activity in the streets.
Same as the recent months, there seemed to be a crusade of sorts unto a particr part of the city.??
At its hearty the city lord''s domain where the masses were lured by the promise of riches and change.
But different from the past, a lone magnificent carriage drove into the midst of this gathering. Everyone in attendance could not help but pause and bowed at where they stood.
With the popr insignia of the Han family on the body of this vehicle, no one dared to throw disrespect at this time.
"A bounty of only 10,000 spirit stones, huh?"
"This might be big to the poor kids in this city."
"But to the experts of this world, this amount is worthless."
"There must be a secret hidden behind this ploy." Our bored gamer mused when he recalled the details of this uing Heavenly Expedition.
Although he had no prior knowledge about the history of this world but he guessed that all the past ones summoned only the elite of the 4 continents.
Just one call would be enough since the strong was never content in their present status. They always needed to have more.
So the inclusion of low leveled cultivators was truly a mystery in the mind of our very own protagonist.
"Ohhh well... at least this would serve my purpose well enough." rk whispered and sported a calm smile thereafter.
With a rxed pace of the horses, the carriage arrived in the city lord''s mansion in approximately 1 hour.
"Good morning, Senior rk!"
"Senior rk, well met!"
"How are you today, master?!" The people outside the gates immediately noticed the familiar guise of our bored gamer.
His robes shone to a brilliant red under the slowly awakening gaze of the sun and his ordinary face remained unremarkable as ever.
s, the people who saw him could not help but shiver under our good gamer''s mighty presence.
Everyone knew that this was a man who had killed an Earth Realm Expert in mere breaths!
"You are all polite." rk replied softly and then walked through the gates without ado. It did not need saying that his arrival has shaken up the top dogs in this house.

"Why is Senior rk here?" City Lord Zhang Yun asked himself after he got the news from Duan Ya.
He did not waste time to linger in nonsense but immediately went out to greet this evil star. Zhang Yun was not alone in his worries.
"FLASH!"
"FLASH!"
"FLASH!"
.
..
...
Several figures materialized suddenly in the distance. They were wise enough to not get closer to our avid gamer in fear that they would lose their head in the aftermath.
Cheng Huan and Li Yang were of course included in this number. Zhang Yun saw the pair and did his customary greetings.
"Good morning, Senior Cheng Huan, Senior Li Yang!"
"..." Unfortunately, the two members of the Dark Dragon Sect ignored the old man. They kept looking at a particr man instead who has already arrived at the end of a long line of people.
Zhang Yun did not take this insult to heart and chose to be proactive in his time.
"Please excuse me, Seniors." Zhang Yun bowed again and slowly walked towards the object of everyone''s curiosity.
When the city lord got nearer into the scene, he witnessed a funny picture.
"Do you also want to register and join the Heavenly Expedition, Senior rk?" One brave man asked at first.
"Yes. I''m quite intrigued about this epic adventure and so... here i am. A few extra 10 thousand spirit stones also would not hurt my pockets at all." rk replied to the brave man.
"Please go in first, Senior!" The brave man did not dare smile at our bored gamer''s obvious joke but instead opened up his spot.
"You can also take my ce, Senior rk!" The man next in line offered also.
.
..
...
No one was stupid in here and so it did not take long for our bored gamer to enter the huge mansion to register his name.
He got epted with the strictest courtesy and came out once more without wasting any of his breath whatsoever. This was true until an old man blocked his path.
"Greetings, Senior!" The old man bowed in ce.
"You have more courage than those two girlsbined, City Lord." rk praised openly.
"Thank you for your kind words, Senior. If you won''t reject, please stay and honor my home for today.
The Zhang n would like to take this chance to sponsor a feast in your name, Senior rk." Zhang Yun invited.
Coming out to meet the most powerful man in the city of Aurora was basic courtesy but to invite him next to build a closer rtionship was absolutely a handiwork of a sage.
Although the Zhang Family has always invited the presence of our bored gamer from before and got rejected every time, one more try could never hurt at all.
This was the persistence of an old warrior indeed.
"Why not? The Heavenly Expedition will start in 2 months so i have ample time to rx." rk answered with a smile which has caught the old city lord off guard for a breath or two.
Zhang Yun could not believe that he would get a positive answer to his impromptu invitation.
"I assure you that you will have a great time, Senior! I will send messengers to send word to the Han Family at once!" Zhang Yun eximed in joy.
Although he knew that the Ladies Cheng Huan and Li Yang would not like this deed at all but Zhang Yun favored the stronger party between them.
He really could not be med to try to hug the thick thigh of our bored gamer.
"Right this way, Senior rk." Zhang Yun led the way. His n grounds were big enough to entertain two tigers.
If he wanted, Senior rk and the delegates of the Dark Dragon Sect would not meet at all in the duration of this feast.
And was exactly what City Lord Zhang Yun had intended from the start. After all, no sensible life wished for trouble in these times of peace.
