The Guardian's Sword

Just then, a shrill voice rang suddenly.

"Oh, isn't this Ms. Lisha?"

Hearing someone calling her name, Lisha turned around and looked over in
confusion, and so did Sean. Then they saw a young but pot-bellied fat man
walking over smugly.

The fat man had curly brown hair, light green eyes, and a sharp nose.

One could tell he was a pure City-State Union local. However, he wore an
expensive outfit with a gold chain around his neck. He also wore an exquisite
gold bracelet on his arm.

The phrase "a rich aristocrat” came to Sean's mind when he saw the fat man.
Lisha burst into a chuckle and quickly introduced him to Sean, saying, "Mr.
Lennon, this is Mr. Rapido Kaygene. He's a descendant of the Kaygene family
who is close to my father. They're also one of Crosac's influential families."
After a pause, Lisha continued saying, "Although Rapido is a City-State Union
local, he's more obsessed with Dragon Kingdom culture than I am. He is
especially fond of gold and antiques. He frequently visits antique markets to buy
various antiques and gold items. Besides that, he often spends a lot of money on
Dragon Kingdom's porcelain antiques in various auctions.”

Sean was in between laughter and tears.

He didn't expect Rapido, a pure City-State Union local, to go this far in his
obsession with Dragon Kingdom culture. Even Lisha could not compare to him.
However, Sean still felt honored that a City-State Union local liked Dragon
Kingdom's culture.

"Ms. Lisha, why are you here at the antique market? I've never heard of you
being interested in antiques! You can approach me if you like antiques. I know a
lot about Dragon Kingdom antiques! Besides that, I also have a wonderful
collection of antiques, gold items, and porcelain items at home. You can come to
my house and pick anything you like! You can even take all of them!" Rapido said
gallantly to Lisha.

However, Lisha declined after a cough, "Sorry, I'm not particularly interested in
antiques, gold items, and porcelain. I only like Dragon Kingdom's food, people,
and culture. I came to the antique market today to look for something with my
friend."

Lisha would not accept Rapido's offer, of course.

Rapido had always wanted to pursue Lisha.

Rapido's father had visited Lisha's father, Claremento, to arrange a marriage
between the two young people. However, it never worked due to Lisha's outright
rejection.

If she accepted Rapido's offer, the fat man would not leave her alone.

After hearing Lisha's statement, Rapido cast a disdainful look at Sean.

"He's not the friend you mentioned, is he? Lisha, since when do you like
socializing with commoners?"

"Commoners?" Lisha was stunned hearing this.

A blue vein bulged on Sean's forehead.

The fat man used the word "Commoner" in this day and age, and he spoke so
firmly and righteously.

Are we in the Middle Ages?

Is the Kaygene family some noble family?

"His name is Sean Lennon, and he's my friend. I hope you show him respect,”
Aware of Sean's upsetness, Lisha said sternly and grabbed Sean's arm.
Rapido's eyes widened at the sight.
