The octopus could not hide its shock after hearing Richard's claims and subconsciously said, "Is your background really that impressive?"
"Do you think I'm just some random youth? Why do you think I dare to wander around alone so boldly? At the very least, the entire Land of Humans is a safe place for me," Richard replied.
Although part of what he said was nothing more than bluff, he felt quite comfortable saying it when he saw the octopus's expression visibly soften.
It clearly seemed intimidated by such an overwhelming background.
"Young man, do you know the White Ancestor who serves as the guardian of the Skylight Clan?" it asked afterward.
Instead of calling him brat, it now addressed him as young man.
Richard raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Of course, I know him… Is there something you need?" Richard asked curiously.
