Chapter 138: The Reigning Champions Have Arrived

"Young man... Do you realize how huge of an opportunity you're passing up on? Even nobles won't come across this opportunity easily." Peter commented after taking a sip of his wine. 

Locke shrugged. "I guess I can see it. After all, His Majesty the Emperor is highly respected, it would definitely be a great honor to serve as his guard."

"However, I like freedom and I hate being bogged down by responsibilities. Moreover, as I'm not really good at serving others, I'm worried that I would bring trouble to you once I take up the offer."

Lawrence and Rossetti covered their faces. They could not believe what they were hearing.

"You two are really similar... Back when Hobrick was young, he also rejected the recruitment officer at that time..." There was not a hint of anger on Peter's face from being rejected. On the contrary, he seemed to have admired Locke's guts.

After that, he then brushed the matter aside and began to drink happily with Locke.
