Back at the apartment complex, Joseph parked the cart, and Shadow Two waved him off generously.
"Alright, Joseph, go do whatever you need to do!"
Joseph: …
Although he had joined Apollo's little group, there was a small problem.
When Joseph had "applied" to join, Shadow Two had explicitly stated that they'd cover food but not lodging.
So, even though the apartment they were staying in had three rooms, Joseph wasn't allowed to sleep there.
Joseph, a dignified nine-star Lord of humanity, had been wandering the streets at night with nowhere to stay.
It was humiliating.
To make matters worse, during his nightly strolls, members of the city defense department often approached him, offering to take him to a shelter.
Out of pride, Joseph always declined.
