The Bored Immortal

Seeing that Brad was clapping, the people standing around awkwardly glanced at each other. In such a tense situation like this, how was he able to clap in front of the Sage? Was he tired of living?

*Clap! Clap!*

Suddenly another round of claps came from the other side, and the Fujo Clan people were surprised to see that it was from their own fourth chief, Narin Fujo, who was clapping with a smile as she looked at the beautiful couple.

Seeing how one of their chiefs were clapping, the people of the Fujo Clan again glanced at each other and just a few moments after, they also started to clap since they also felt like doing so to congratulate their Young Mistress.

But for Sage Han, each clap felt like a slap on his face. Nyissa had defied his instructions but that he still could endure, but the fact that she also defied her mother's clan's orders in the process as well made him feel like a fool since he was the one who got sent here to make sure Nyissa followed their orders.

Now that she had taken a different step forward, he would only appear as incompetent and possibly face some backlash once the clan with whom they were planning an alliance learned about all this. It would all just be a big headache for his entire clan and he would be the one who has to answer to them. He would definitely lose some of his well earned reputation after all this fiasco.

Viktor looked at Sage Han and smiled as he gave a glance at his beautiful black diamond ring, making Sage Han feel like slapping the smile out of his face.

He never thought someone of his status and power would ever have to feel helpless after stepping foot in a lower-class clan.

"Young Mistress, you have made a great blunder. Now even I cannot predict what kind of consequences you or your clan might face in the future. All I can do is warn you and remember that you brought this upon yourself," Sage Han said with a grim look. He just couldn't help but see if Nyissa at least felt a tinge of regret and guilt in what she did.

"Why are you repeating like a parrot? Just get the hell out of here. We already have enough parrots in this clan," Viktor said in a vexed tone as he waved his hand while others gasped, seeing how he was bold enough to speak so rudely to a Sage!

Even Nyissa was startled, but she didn't feel that surprised anymore after getting to know his nature more and more. However, she couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling it funny and then stifling it out of respect for the Sage.

Viktor wanted to shut this old man up if he had the chance, but now he had to settle with this. He also didn't like how this guy was calling him a 'brat' when he could be well older than him.

Since Viktor woke up in a coffin situated in an underground structure that was supposedly millions of years old, he was not sure what his true age was. Just because the structure was millions of years old didn't necessarily mean he was the same age as well, right?

"Hehe…oops!" Ayana accidentally let out a giggle but covered her mouth before the Sage could hear her.

"You!!" Sage Han wanted to say he was courting death but then remembered about Viktor's obscure background and how he couldn't do anything till he verified things.

He also heard Ayana's short giggle but then had to pretend like he didn't hear it since he now wasn't in the mood to deal with petty things.

If it was any other person, he would have crushed their entire being with just a snap of his finger for being insulted like this. He couldn't even remember the last time someone insulted him, and that was how much prestige he had and how much respect he was shown by the people around him.

And now a halfling with an origin of two different races had insulted him in front of other lower-class people! He had never felt so humiliated and felt that his face was scorching hot from all the subtle gazes around him.

Since he was a Sage, he couldn't simply walk away after Nyissa made a decision. Otherwise, it would make him look like a coward. So he had to say something that expressed the seriousness of what Nyissa did.

But Viktor's brash comment made him feel like wanting to kill him ten times over. Viktor literally made him feel like he got reduced from an exalted Sage to a lowly parrot.

"Sage Han, I am fully confident of the decision I made, and even if things get tough in the future, I will not feel regret but deal with the problems together," Nyissa calmly said as she looked at Sage Han.

Sage Han wanted to say something, but then feeling Viktor's gaze, he swallowed his words but then wondered why did he just got intimidated by a junior?

'Arggh! I am losing my mind…' Sage Han felt that he should not linger around here any longer lest he does something stupid out of anger.

"Then I have nothing more to say. I will be taking my leave, hmph!" Sage Han waved his hand in a huff as he turned around and walked away with a dark expression, feeling that not only he wasted his time by coming here but also got insulted by someone who he only met today.

Voroz quickly sent an elder from his clan to escort Sage Han outside since, as the patriarch, he had to follow basic courtesy, especially to a senior and powerful man like Sage Han and most importantly because he was from his wife's clan.

However, the young men and women of the Fujo Clan were inwardly rejoicing seeing Sage Han leave as if they were taking delight in seeing a bully leave and felt even more impressed by Viktor. They never expected him to be so bold, dashing, and charming at the same time.

Now they perfectly understood why their Young Mistress chose this man, and even Ayana couldn't help but feel the same while also wondering why her cheeks were feeling a bit hot by just looking at him.

However, most of the older generation were angry because of what Viktor did and felt worried if their clan would face backlash because of a foreigner halfling. They knew how small their clan was and knew that they wouldn't last in any kind of argument with the big-sized clans.

Still, thinking about Viktor's claim about his origins, they decided to wait and see since there was no other way.

Viktor looked in the direction where Sage Han had left and inwardly smirked as he thought, 'Now you people will think twice before trying to mess with my women.'

Sage Han had barged in with his chest puffed up, but now he could only leave with a slight hunch on his back while the engagement ceremony he was tasked to stop didn't halt but instead concluded beautifully.
