131: Chapter 102, Peach Blossom Luck, Romantic Tribulation_2 131: Chapter 102, Peach Blossom Luck, Romantic Tribulation_2 The old man could only think of the adult Earth Bear when a girl described something as more terrible than anything else.

As for the accompanying Guard Team, they were completely ignored.

Everyone has some followers, right?

Even though he is a mere merchant on the surface, in the dark, he is a notorious “Big Shot” on the Continent.

Regrettably, as a big shot, he is rather unfortunate.

He cannot strut about like other bigwigs, but instead, he spends his days hiding for fear of exposing his true identity.

Not staying in one place for long, apart from facilitating directing his subordinates, is to avoid causing suspicion once the locals get too familiar with him.

It wouldn’t matter much if it was just the old man; even if his identity was exposed, he could escape.

However, with a little granddaughter, it would be much difficult to make a smooth getaway.

“No!

The little bear does have some strange strength, almost catching up to yours, grandpa, but it seems to have just been born.

It seems like it hasn’t even been weaned yet.

When I saw it, the little bear was hugging a milk bottle bigger than its body.

It looked so cute…”

Watching his granddaughter get increasingly sidetracked, the old man couldn’t help but remind her: “Guna, whether the Earth Bear is cute or not is a discussion we can have later.

For now, tell me about what made you feel threatened?”

“It’s not a thing!”

“No, it is a thing!”

“That doesn’t sound right either!”

“Ahh, I’m so annoyed at you, grandpa!”

“It’s all your fault for interrupting me.

Now, I’m all turned around!”

The little girl’s nonsensical explanation left the old man just as confused, his mind in a fog.

“Right, that guy is a person.

He’s the guy called the Mountain Baron, also known as the Divine Archery Knight.

In any case, he is that annoying ghost.

He has a mysterious power about him, and created a very powerful impression, I can’t really explain it!

In any event, be sure to keep your distance, grandpa.”

Upon hearing this explanation, the old man’s heart sank.

His little scheme had been successfully extinguished.

There are many ways to create a diversion to cover their escape.

It’s not necessary to pick the most dangerous option.

Despite potentially useful goods in the caravan, the priority is always survival.

The Skeleton Society doesn’t have much wealth to begin with, so the old man doesn’t want to risk the funds he painstakingly built up.

The great Lord of the Dawn still counts on him to spread glory.

There’s no need to waste precious manpower on trivial people and matters.

…

Hudson, who avoided disaster thanks to a chance encounter, is still gossiping aimlessly with the knights.

As for the eccentric little girl he bumped into earlier, she was just a little episode in his life, and he had no interest in scrutinizing it further.

Rebellious girls like her aren’t common in the Continent of Aslante, but there were plenty of them in his past life.

Getting involved with one means trouble.

Having successfully delivered the goods to Qiaomu County, everyone felt both happy and a little lost.

The lack of trouble ensures their safety, but it also means missing out on a chance for big money.

Unconcerned with the complex feelings of the hired knights, Hudson of Qiaomu County immediately got busy upon arrival.

Transactions between nobility are not like street vendors, equal status is the foundation of cooperation.

Such matters have to be handled personally by Hudson, no one else can take his place.

Settling client after client, securing deal after deal, Hudson was negotiating with both joy and pain.

No matter how busy he was, banquets had to be attended.

Viscount Orlan, the host, held a grand welcome banquet in the city.

Hudson couldn’t refuse.

However, Hudson quickly noticed something off.

The banquet seemed a bit strange that day.

As soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, he was immediately swarmed by a group of noble ladies amid the envious and jealous gazes of others.

There’s a fine line between a “romantic fortune” and a “romantic tribulation”.

Too much romantic fortune becomes a romantic tribulation.

Hudson personally experienced it.

If only one or two noble ladies were infatuated with him, perhaps he could have a wonderful night.

But now, he had to experience the power of romantic chaos.

With no other choice, Hudson had to play the gentleman in front of the noble ladies.

He didn’t dare show any hint of nefarious thoughts.

After a few drinks, and a clear mind, Hudson quickly understood what was going on.

In times of turmoil, the Strongman is favored.

Naturally, the aristocrats of Qiaomu County, who had just experienced a nerve-wracking incident, were influenced.

In the noble world, both men and women have their own survival strategies, the competition is everywhere.

High-quality candidates are rare in any world.

The ideal marriage partners for noble ladies are always the heirs of each family’s title, or those who have already inherited the title.

Marrying those with titles and fiefs means a guarantee for the rest of their lives.

It is only when they are unsuccessful in competing with their peers that they would choose the second sons of noble families.

As the upcoming “Divine Archery Knight”, the young and unmarried Baron Hudson naturally became a magnet for attention.

Any noble lady in Qiaomu County with some ambition was here to try and win Hudson over with her charm, hoping to be the final winner of this competition.

A romantic fortune can turn into a romantic disaster.

Hudson deeply understood this.

Even if he thought a few of them were good-looking, he didn’t have the chance to get to know them further.
