Chapter 460: A Usual Problem of Keeping Face

There was of course no dinner date that happened. Laura politely rejected since this was not allowed in her work to begin with.

Thus, this made our bored gamer eat all the food he ordered.

There were countless souls starving in the world and Clark was not about to disrespect the great blessing and sustenance before him. He has a great body to do this after all.

"Thank you for the meal, Laura. I enjoyed your beautiful presence once again." Clark smiled towards the young waitress and left a handsome tip on the table.

"It's my pleasure to serve you, Sir Caden. Thank you for your patronage in The Grove Restaurant!" Laura bowed and her delight could not be contained at all.

She looked at the single note on the table and read the only number that mattered upon its face.

1,000 Empire Crowns!

This was more than what she earned for a whole month inside this eatery.

'Sir Caden is really really rich! And very generous too!' Laura complimented inside as she looked at the fat back of her customer.

She could not believe at all that the young man whom she met just a few days ago would be the source of her biggest income to date.

'I hope that Sir Caden continues to eat here.' With this last wish, Laura then began to clear the tables next.

"RING!"

"RING!"

"RING!"

"Good morning, Nancy. I want to get my sign in rewards please." Clark requested the moment he opened his eyes once more.

It was right on time after he fully refined a piece of dragon meat into his body.

He stopped the annoying noise with but a tap of his fingers. The wristwatch stopped on time.

Our bored gamer may have become an instant multi billionaire but he still kept Caden's watch on his person.

This was the least he could do to commemorate the few simple possessions of the fallen. It was funny to note that his true copy clone body had a more expensive watch than him.

Way way more expensive!

"Affirmative, host."

"DING!"

"Congratulations, host. You have received The Asura Finger Art!" Nancy announced in a happy voice.

"Thank you, Nancy." Our bored gamer said after he learned the skill in no time. He had already lost count on how many legendary techniques he had learned during the past few months.

Alas, what mattered most was his cultivation base which would continue to improve in the next 4 years. For now, all Clark had to do was live through these 4 years in peace.

"Hmmm... But since everyone believes that I'm still that little baldy's apprentice then I could really walk sideways in this world and no one would bother me or say anything at all."

Our good gamer chuckled for a breath or two as he realized that Grand Master Azodus may have not spilled the beans yet.

It would be pretty shameful to know that an old goat like him was mercilessly rejected by a young man like our very own protagonist.

"When I become a level 9 monster, I will gladly return the favor back to you, little baldy." Clark muttered and thought about creative ways of punishing an old man's stubbornness.

Our bored gamer would of course not kill grand master Azodus. But even if death may not be in the list of options, a corresponding penalty still needed to be done someday.

After a few minutes of wishful dreaming, our bored gamer then started his day of tireless cultivation.

"Let's begin. Give me a piece of dragon meat, Nancy." Clark ordered at this time.

"Affirmative, host." The system granted in kind.

"TAP!"

"TAP!"

"TAP!" Our bored gamer graced the presence of everyone with his healthy self but it was strange to find no noise whatsoever to meet him.

Even his 9 disciples in Block C were clearly hesitating to open their mouths. Many looked at Clark in awe while a select group visibly shivered on their seats.

Finding the empty seat of Alex Gordon was not at all unusual for our bored gamer.

Clark would not be surprised to know that Alex may have stopped going to this university completely after what happened to his older brother yesterday.

Alas, this trivial truth was definitely not enough to bother Clark. Not at all in fact. Their teacher came and class started then ended eventually in time.

At lunch break, the same depressing atmosphere shrouded on our bored gamer's group.

The 10 of them went to the university canteen and there they met almost 50 sect members to bolster their number to 59.

Alas, nobody dared to make unnecessary sounds at all. At least this was true for a time.

"Master?" A brave soul broke the ice.

"What is it, disciple Jo?" Clark asked while sipping his hot coffee after lunch.

He would have preferred tea more because of the influence of the cultivation worlds for him but sadly, this school canteen did not serve tea at all.

This was the reason why coffee was a good replacement for this deficiency.

"Were you the one who... fought with some members of the Zeta Alpha Fraternity yesterday, master?" Disciple Jo was brave indeed.

Amidst a number of almost 60 disciples, he was the only one who opened up the most pressing question on the minds of everyone in the scene.

"I have heard about that sad news also. It's a harrowing time for those victims."

"But you of all people should know that I am a master of great benevolence."

"A kind soul like me could never do such a violent thing at all. Not in this lifetime." Clark said and appeared hurt from this accusation.

It did not need telling that even as a noble, one has to do his crimes with extreme subtlety. No mortal should see a noble in the act of doing atrocious activities.

Else that noble would face the same exact judgment from the Lord of Astro.

This was the reason why our bored gamer needed to perform a little illusion when he was busy dismantling teeth, bones, and flesh the day before.

In the end, Clark's disciples looked at one another in consequence. In time, they got the courage to appeal for their misconduct.

"We apologize for doubting you, master!"

"We apologize for doubting you, master!"

"We apologize for doubting you, master!"

.

..

...

A horde of young geeks stood up and bowed in apology towards their master. This was caught plainly in the attention of the other diners in the canteen but no one was laughing right now.

The suspicion of the masses unto our very own protagonist was an open secret at this time already.

"This master accepts your apology." Clark smiled and a group of nerds sported smiles and happy discussions thereafter.

Several minutes later, disciple Nep had something to say about his best friend.

"Master, disciple Ben is not here because he is already busy with his first girlfriend."

"I wonder if master will also find a girlfriend in this university?" Disciple Ben asked. Everyone knew that Caden and Luna had already broken up.

This was of course very obvious since Luna was not even on the face of this world anymore. She had no doubt visited the other realms beyond this one.

"Hmmm..." A long pause occurred while our bored gamer was rubbing his chubby chin in thought.

'FUCK ME! It appears that i have to find myself a girlfriend real soon.'
