anwhile, Garm, Albert, and Yax were stunned. They had initially believed Jas and Fenwick would lie to keep Lucian alive.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Yax began laughing in his head 'HAHAHA, Lucian! You really are an idiot. You actually trusted a rchant! Did you really think a rchant of people would keep your secret hidden!?"
'A rchant only cares about themselves and money!'
'What a fool!'
If Yax had been alone, he would be dancing in joy right now. Alas, he had to keep up appearances. Later, he would definitely pop a bottle of alcohol and celebrate.
'This is it.' Yax mused as he waited for Garm to summon his bone and chop off Lucian's head.
But that reality did not happen when he heard Jas' next words.
"However, Lucian isn't a Magical Beast," Jas continued. "As a Mana King Realm Mage, you should be privy to why the Dragon Slayers are so powerful."
Garm and Albert frowned, while the others were pleasantly surprised.
'Damn it. What now!?' Yax, on the other hand, felt the ominous feeling enveloping him again.
"Are you suggesting Lucian is a Dragon Slayer?" Albert asked with a raise of his eyebrows.
Jas shook his head. "I don't have the evidence to back such a claim, but I do know he is a Human…"
He paused and continued via Voice Transmission. [With Magical Beast blood.]
Garm and Albert, who heard his words frowned because it aligned with what they had thought after seeing Lucian.
His body did not emit even a hint of aura unique to Magical Beasts. Instead, he was emitting an aura that they were familiar with — an aura exclusive to Humans.
That was why Garm did not kill Lucian.
For Jas, lying was as easy as breathing. His facial expression did not even change as he continued, [As soone with an illustrious reputation for protecting the weak and innocents. I'm sure you don't want to accidentally kill an innocent person?"
[I'll wait for him to wake up. Speaking of which, has he been poisoned?] Garm asked.
[I'm just as clueless as you are. But he doesn't look poisoned.]
Soon, a silence spread throughout the area as they waited for Lucian to wake up.
—-----------------
As the System Notification appeared in Lucian's mind, he finally opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings in confusion.
"What's going on?" Lucian mumbled but his voice was clearly heard by everyone present.
[While the Host was asleep, the creation of the Grass Plain had finished. Thus, the reward for the Quest — the Spatial Farm Upgrade — comnced imdiately after.]
The System's voice resounded in Lucian's head, answering his doubts.
Imdiately after, a series of mories went sent to his Soul by the System. The mories were of what it saw from the mont Lucian fell asleep until he woke up.
Anything transferred via Soul was instantaneous; therefore, not even a millisecond went by before Lucian understood what occurred while he had been essentially unconscious.
[... Why didn't you wake up before the Spatial Farm upgraded? What if I was killed?]

[The System did not have enough ti to give a reminder. The process was instantaneous.] The System said its tone held a hint of grievance. How was it supposed to know the Spatial Farm would cause its Host to fall unconscious? It was neither omnipotent nor omniscient!
When Lily saw Lucian was finally awake she lunged at him with her arms outstretched. "Big Brother Lucian." She hugged and called out to him through choked sobs. She did not care for the stunned and weird gazes directed at her.
At this point, thanks to Garm, everyone who did not know of Lily's true identity realized the waitress of Transcendence was not an old woman but actually a young lady, which after they thought about it, it made perfect sense because she always addressed Chef Lucian as 'Big Brother Lucian'.
That also made them curious about what her appearance looked like because anyone with eyes or Mana Sense could tell there was a romantic relationship between the two.
With how handso Chef Lucian was, she must be an absolute beauty.
anwhile, Hervy could not help but chuckle.
He placed his arm on Garrett's shoulder and shook it slightly.
[Captain, congratulations… Now, you will have a powerful backer.]
His words were said with deep jealousy as though he was jealous of Garrett having such a powerful future brother-in-law. However, his expression was gloating, which did not go unnoticed by Garrett.
'This bastard!' Garrett did not know how to feel right now. Ever since he saw his little sister with Lucian he found it weird, but never thought anything more than that.
'How did their relationship progress so quickly in just a day?'
If he rembered clearly, it should have been only a day since Lucian left Harmony City and returned to Thunderfall City.
*Cough*
Lucian coughed, feeling two soft dough balls against his chest and another bigger pair of dough balls on his thighs.
'This position.' Lucian could not help but gulp his saliva. 'Since when did Lily beco a cowgirl?'
After a mont, as Little Lucian began rearing its head, Lucian gently reminded Lily with a playful wink, [Many people are watching.]
Due to Lily's innocent nature, she did not understand the sensual position they were in. However, being seen hugging her Big Brother Lucian by many people caused her to blush deeply. Quickly, she scrambled to her feet, [I-I'm sorry, Big Brother Lucian!] She stuttered while looking down at her feet.
Lucian smiled and stood up. With a thought, the chair he previously sat on disappeared into his inventory.
[Thanks Lily for protecting ! Let take care of this.] Lucian said as he removed her bamboo hat, and began running his fingers through her beautiful pink hair.
"Lucian, your relationship with your staff is quite… unique," After a mont of observing them, Garm remarked.
"Huh? Which idiot built a wall in front of my restaurant? Can't they see I'm trying to get a tan?'
