Chapter 841 - The Clash Of The Fogies

Chapter 841 - The Clash Of The Fogies

All three fogies quickly aired out their grievances to Landon while constantly reminding him of his ’nosy’ behaviour.

With all their nonsense going on, Landon silently recited some verses in his mind to keep him calm.

Well, what they requested was fairly simple for him to do.

All three came from the empire of Yodan, and they came alongside Mother Winnie, Beri, little Linda, and several others.

They were the first batch of people that stepped their legs into Baymard via Santa.

They had to flee because one of the queens secretly requested a cult of deadly assassins to slaughter everyone.

This way, it wouldn’t be too suspicious if mother Winnie, Beri and Linda died.

But of course, Santa got the message and hurriedly saved some people, sending them to Baymard, while others fled to the neighbouring cities and towns.

And this is where their request comes in.

Even though the old fogies brought along their wives, children and grandchildren... one should know that even they as elderly people had siblings who were still alive.

So they couldn’t help wondering about their sisters or brothers who were also old like them.

.

From what he gathered, Old Willow first sent his sister alongside her husband, children and grandchildren to another city.

Because they didn’t want their movements to be too suspicious, many families didn’t leave all at once, lest the assassins or cult maneuvers suspect their moves.

So he sent out his sister’s family first.

But when he was about to leave, the assassins and cult members were already around the city’s outskirts.

Their only option of escape was by sea.

Lucky, Santa came right on time and fled as fast as they could.

Over the years, during their holidays, they went back in search of their families.

At first, they couldn’t find their families because they moved very far from where they had sent them to.

Luckily for them, they met someone in Baymard who they knew, and that person just happened to know what their family was.

He told them everything they needed to know and also sent their letters to their families in Yodan.

And now, they planned to ask for eight months off to visit their families.

Why?

Because the ship and carriage rides would take up most of their journey time.

Fortunately, the Baymardian Cruise ride to Carona would drastically cut down their travel time.

So they felt a little better about the whole thing.

Nonetheless, they loved their jobs and loved here, so they were also hesitant about taking eight months off work.

And that’s where Landon came in.

.

Landon listened and sighed.

Well, he had lived with these old fogies for years now, alongside Linda, Momo, and the rest that took them as part of the family.

So he didn’t see anything wrong in helping them.

That’s why he decided to send them to their destination alongside the soldiers who had missions in Yodan.

Luckily, they mentioned this issue now.

One should know that both Deiferus and Yodan had the temple of Dragmus in it, and he had already sent the first wave of soldiers and marines to take care of all secret bases within these empires.

And five days from now, the final wave (A.K.A backup ) will be sent again to these locations, just in case.

So within that time, he could ask the soldiers to personally drop them around the outskirts of the city, town or village they intended to visit.

Of course, the soldiers would help them find their families in order to confirm the exact house where they would be staying.

And once it was time to go back, the soldiers would pick them up again.

This was the best he could do for them.

Well, he would also be travelling as well.

Not towards Yodan, but to Deiferus.

He, along with another specific team, would head to the Capital city to put Henry on the throne while taking care of his siblings and all others who wanted his crown.

This September was indeed a busy month.

.

All three men got up and began flexing their muscles while staring into a distance heroically.

They tried their hardest not to show their excitement.

But their joy just kept flowing out nonstop.

"As expected of our youngest member.

You have passed our test and have become our official member."

"Yes!

You’ve passed.

But don’t let it get into your head."

"That’s right!

It’s true that you’ve done some excellent work over the years.

But not enough people like you.

So how can you compare with the boss?"

"_"

Forget it.

Why does he even bother with them?

"Oh!

That reminds me brat.

We have presents for you." Old man Willow said while taking out a wrapped gift from underneath a cushion.

Paitus and Hermon did the same as well.

Landon was taken aback and somewhere touched.

Maybe they weren’t bad after all.

"Well, open it!

Open it!

I’m sure you’ll love it."

Landon smiled warmly and opened Willows’s box first.

It was a very nice-looking belt.

"This is nice.

It looks so rare yet so familiar.

This is mine."

"Yup!

It sure is.

And goes very well with the Blue tie Hermon gave you as a gift."

"But that’s my tie."

"I know.

And it goes well with..."

"My socks," Landon said while unwrapping the last gift.

(=_=)

.

How were these gifts?

They just returned his bordered items to him.

Years back on the Coronation day, old man Willow and the gang were in a mess and forgot to get proper attire for the next before the stores closed for the holidays.

They were in such a pickle that they almost didn’t want to attend the ceremony.

And Landon gave them his belt, socks and tie.

As a ruler, his closet alone was the size of a two-bedroom apartment

So he had a ton of socks, belts and whatnot.

Plus, the items were common everyday items, so he didn’t think much of it when giving it to them.

Who would that years later, they would give it to him as gifts?

Landon’s mouth twitched again.

And just when he was about to round this damn meeting up and get the hell out of here, yet another group of elderly people came in.

Their leader was a hot-headed female, and he nicknamed them the Fantastic 7.

They were also close to him as well.

For some reason, both groups always tried to compete and force him to acknowledge one as his boss.

Instantly, Landon tried to minimize his presence while trying to sneak out of the room before the clash of the fogies began.

And so just like that, 5 grandpas and 2 grandmas stormed in arrogantly.

The women were the ones who made him weep.

.

Old lady Maggie lifted her chin arrogantly while pointing at old Willow.

"I knew you guys were up to no good!

What’s the big idea forcing the imp to take you as his leader?

You’re so old that you don’t even leave footprints in the sand anymore.

So why would he take you as his master?"

"You shut up, you ugly hag.

Who are you calling old?"

"Ugly?

Are you blind?

Tch!

You’re just jealous because I’m young with a great body."

"Please!

What mirror do you use?

If you’re young, then I haven’t even been born yet!"

"Heh!

Look who’s talking.

You didn’t seem to mind when you asked me out on a date last time."

"Boss!

How could you?!

Sister-in-law has been done for 11 years now.

So it’s okay to take in another sister-in-law.

But why her?

Boss, you’ve betrayed the brotherhood!"

"What’s wrong with me?

Are you all saying that I’m not good enough?

Pui!

It’s your stinky leader that asked me out first!"

"You!

So what if I asked you out?

Who asked you to be attractive?

Are you blaming me for your good looks?"

"Old man, you’re just too unreasonable.

Are you blaming me now?

You’re just lucky that you’re also good-looking, or else I would never speak to you again."

"You dare not!"

"And if I dare, what are you going to do about it?"

"I, I, I will marry you and see if you won’t talk to me when we end up living in the same house."

"Not before I marry you first!"

(-_-)
