Hearing Lucian's words, everyone at the scene was montarily confused. They looked from Lucian to in front of him, only to be stunned.
… In front of Lucian was Garm!
'No way… right?' They all gulped nervously. 'How big are his balls to dare make fun of a Mana King Realm Mage?'
Even Hervy would not dare say such words out loud… saying them in his head was an entirely different matter.
anwhile, Lily bit down on her lip, trying her best not to laugh. Garm was truly a large person, and because they were standing so close to him, his massive body blocked even the sunlight from shining down on them.
He really was like a wall.
Albert's neutral expression changed. He could not believe soone dared insult his Master. He raised his hand, wanting to summon dozens of portals to slice his body in minceat, but Garm stopped him.
"You… have so guts brat." The smile on Garm's face was stiff.
Lucian blinked and pricked his ears with his finger, causing Lily to frown and pinch his arm.
However, Lucian ignored the pain and wondered out loud to himself, "Since when can a wall talk? Is this so kind of prank?"
He scratched his head as though he was genuinely curious.
"There must be soone behind the wall thinking they can fool ." Lucian snorted with a face full of realization and used his Mana Sense to investigate.
As his Mana Sense spread outwards, Lucian's expression shifted to astonishnt.
In front of him, was not a wall, but a large, obese man. Garm stood eight feet tall, with dark brown eyes and a furious look on his face. He was dressed in an expensive white Martial Arts robe that was strained at the seams and looked like it could tear at any mont. In fact, there were already a few small tears, from which Lucian could see his white flesh bulging out.
His arms were like two pillars, his legs elephant-sized, and his neck was as thick as his bald head. Coupled with his massive waist, his appearance was like a sphere with limbs and a bald head.
Jumping back, Lucian hastily bowed to the red-faced, fuming Garm, "Dear custor, please forgive this Lucian. It seems I mistook your wannabe spherical lighthouse form for a wall. That was my mistake! Once again, I deeply apologize."
His tone of voice and facial expression were truly apologetic that even the most skeptical of spectators found his words sincere and honest.
… If not for the fact his words did not match his tone and expression, they might have been fooled.
Subconsciously, their eyes trailed up Garm's massive form before landing on his scalp.
The evening sun illuminated the sky and world. Its beautiful, warm rays shined down and reflected off his massive bald head.
Their expressions instantly beca weird as they could not help but agree with Lucian's description of Garm. With his massive form and the evening sun reflecting off his head, he really was like a wannabe spherical lighthouse.
Lucian was a vengeful person. For making his Lily cry, he would definitely avenge her tears! If not for the fact that he was actually weak, he would have outright sent Garm to et the First Layer Ruler in the Mortal Hell.
Although, he could summon the Titan Drunken Blood Monkey out of the Spatial Farm. The pros did not outweigh the cons. Killing Garm would be a piece of cake for the monkey. Even the Arcadia World Spirit would most likely be killed; however, what ca after that was certain death.
Lucian was vengeful but not an idiot. He could always have his revenge at a later ti. That would be enough for now, he concluded.
However, Garm did not think the sa as Lucian. How could he let such insults slide so easily? Even the brat's apology had been a backhanded insult.

"Lucian do you-"
But before he could continue, Jas hurriedly said while signaling Lucian with his narrowed, beady eyes. "Sir Garm, before you continue to speak, take into consideration if you can afford to offend the Orchard Family."
Garm and Albert frowned and turned their heads in Jas' direction.
"What are you trying to imply? Do you think I don't know the Orchard Family rules?"
Garm pointed at Lucian and questioned, "Why would they protect him?"
Jas internally smiled cunningly. This was it! He did not expect this was how he would end up recruiting Lucian, but it did not matter to him. The road that led him here was inconsequential. As a rchant only the desired outco mattered.
"Lucian is part of the Orchard Family." He announced calmly, shocking everyone present except for Lucian, who had expected Jas to say those words after he had signaled with his eyes.
[Host, because of your foolishness, you are now tied to the Orchard Family and owe Jas again.] The System said all of a sudden in an annoyed tone. [As the future Transcendent Chef, how can you be tied down by a Mortal family?]
The System then continued in a mocking tone, [Was this also part of your plan?]
[Since when did you beco sassy? Actually don't answer that. Anyway, this is of course part of my grand plan of getting rich.] Lucian said with full confidence. [As a rchant Family, they'll be loaded. Being part of their family would only benefit , rather than being a hindrance.]
[They pay and I'll cook for them. Not only that, I'll have a powerful backer. It's a win-win in my books.] Lucian added.
[Tch.] The System did not believe him one bit. He definitely ca up with that on the spot!
[If the Host becos part of the Orchard Family, you will be duty-bound to cook for free.]
Lucian did not imdiately respond, choosing his right to remain silent.
[I'm confident I can make the Orchards pay for my food!] Lucian's tone was still that of confidence, leaving the System speechless.
