Chrome City (Part III)

"Citylord! May I ask where you are going?" One of the staff members who had overseen us asked why I left so abruptly.

"I want to speak with the winner. Is there something wrong with that?"

"Our contestants had asked us for privacy. We don't want to hinder you, Citylord, but we want to respect the people who work hard coming here." I don't sense any falsehood in what he said.

I could force my way in, but my reputation would plummet. A disappointed expression came from my face, but I didn't get too bothered by it.

That man wasn't something I would prioritize, but his being my first recruit should deem him worthy enough.

"It's a shame. I, too, would like to see the champion." A disappointed expression could be seen on her face. She gave up, knowing that interfering with business wasn't a wise choice.

"Ms. Belmug, why don't you show us a place to forget this disappointment? I'm sure you have other places that you find interesting in this city."
