As Tom was about to get inside the CS-Armageddon-57 with Duke Hushum, he suddenly stopped.
The Duke turned around and asked: "What's wrong, Tom? Come in."
"Sorry, uncle. But you can go first. I am going to catch up with you on land."
"Why? Wouldn't it be faster if we use this aircraft thing?"
"I just arrived in this continent, uncle. I want to take the longer route to learn some things about this place."
"Hmmm, the road ahead is filled with bandits and criminals. I promised your father that I will protect you."
"Do not worry, uncle. My father's mechanical legion will accompany me along with some golems."
"Are you sure about this?"
"I am sure, uncle."
Duke Hushum thought for a second before he nodded. "You are quite powerful and talented, and the golems will accompany you as well. I think it will be fine."
"Can I ask why are you so worried, uncle? Is there really Diamond Rank bandits out there?"
