Chapter 53: Viewpoint
They can't be said to have a bad appearance.
It's just that they are too unkempt. Tidying up their hair didn't detract from their gloomy appearance in the slightest.
Jenny who lived an elite life as a famous singer where she always met clean people immediately knitted her brows when she saw them.
Her lips began to move, but she seemed to refrain from showing any particular expression.
Of course, she couldn't afford to show a disgusted expression in front of people.
That would earn her a bad rumor. After all, she had a reputation for being a kind and friendly woman to her fans.
"Well, then we'll just walk. I'll tell you things in the city," she said.
She got off her carriage after saying that.
Then she deposited the carriage into her Storage Artifact while the winged horse was sent to a Seal Card.
"Let's go," she said, asking Aldric to go with her.
Of course, she did not greet the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse. That she looked at them was too much for her.
Aldric finally stood up and followed her into the city, right beside her.
The Dead Fish and the Demon Horse followed behind them.
At first they expected Jenny to say something to them since they had become Aldric's followers whom he treated with special favor.
Unfortunately, she didn't seem to care about them.
Little did they know that she was even bothered by their existence.
At this moment, while glancing at them for a moment, she asked Aldric in a low voice. "Aldric, why do you hang out with people like them?
"Is there something wrong?" Aldric asked back.
Hearing him ask back, Jenny rolled her eyes.
"The point is, I'm not happy that you're friends with people like them," she replied.
She didn't bother to explain her various thoughts, just said the main point even though it was another question as to why she was unhappy.
Of course, Aldric realized that Jenny probably thought of them as purveyors of negativity so she wanted to keep him away from them.
However, he personally never looked at the lives or backgrounds of the people he hung out with.
He thinks he can gain insights from everyone, and the reason they continue to be with him until now is also because of the various things that require it.
"If you're looking for friends, look for people who are really quality. You know, a person is more often what their friends become," the woman added when Aldric paused.
"You don't have to worry about who I hang out with," Aldric replied.
He could manage his own personal life. Of course, he objected to anyone else trying to manage his life even if it was Jenny.
Compared to Jenny, as he continued to speak, Aldric's voice became a little louder so that the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse could hear his words.
What he said certainly made their minds disturbed.
If he said that to Jenny, it meant that Jenny had just said something like he chose the wrong friend.
Did she mean them?
This naturally made them take offense.
On the other hand, Jenny became sullen.
"You're too innocent as a country bumpkin. As your childhood friend, I don't want you to go down the wrong path by choosing bad friends. It's my responsibility to look after you," she said.
Her voice this time could also be heard by the two men behind, making them frown because it was now certain that Jenny did not like seeing Aldric with them.
'This damn woman, I didn't expect her true nature to be so arrogant, looking down on us even though we just met. Hmph, she must have some prejudice against the poor,' the Dead Fish thought irritably.
The Demon Horse had similar thoughts.
He felt very annoyed to be looked at so negatively by the woman he idolized, who he thought was someone with a good heart.
Unfortunately, neither he nor the Dead Fish dared to say anything to protest.
They preferred to pretend that they hadn't heard anything.
As for Aldric, he felt that Jenny was too worried about him, as if she thought he was still a child who needed to be taken care of.
"I'm not stupid, I can take care of myself," he said.
Jenny rolled her eyes again as she insisted on her thoughts.
She finally couldn't say anything else.
After that she stared back.
Since being looked down upon by her, the two men could no longer act happy at being stared at by their idol.
They felt hurt, yet looking at Jenny's beautiful face, it was still difficult for them to control their heartbeats, as if their hearts were about to bloom into a flower garden.
This made them want to smile.
Unfortunately, they suddenly saw Jenny's eyes turn cold while her lips made a sneering motion.
She stared forward again right after that with a soft yet cold snort.
Now they were walking. Getting further away, most of the people around them were NPCs, so she had no more problems blatantly looking down on others.
The important thing was that the public did not know about it. It only became a problem if the public found out.
"Jenny, don't you want to tell me things in this city?" Aldric said, trying to change the topic.
The woman's eyes only relaxed when she looked at him.
"Okay, okay," she said in a tone that sounded like she had a complaint.
After that, she began to tell Aldric various things in this city, from the city lord, businesses, guilds, to other things.
When passing by a certain place, she told him what those places were.
Between White Wind City and Heaven Valley City, the difference is really big.
This is a city with many dominating parties. The ruler is just one of them.
Business groups or guilds, they had great influence that threatened each other.
Invisible conflicts were almost always happening in this city. Those who were weak and invisible were destined not to be able to live in peace.
Of course, there were factions that stood alone without anyone daring to interfere like the Time Space Hall.
They were simply outside factions that came from more influential places.
One thing that surprised Aldric quite a bit was that the West Gate Merchant Alliance was actually considered the strongest business group in this city, which meant they were also the strongest business group in the entire Eldorn Region.
What made him interested in this merchant alliance was because Jenny told him that the Dortmund Family who played this game had a big foothold in that alliance.
The Dortmund Family was led by Ramsey Dortmund. This made Aldric wonder if the woman called Lady Anna was from the Dortmund Family.
