inents, I will be able to easily expand my business.’

The East Continent people didn’t believe in intercontinental movement.
It was believed that Muto was pulled to the east from the west due to an accident.

“Ugh, how frustrating.”

In the past, Muto was someone who mainly focused on exchanges Earl Butin of the Saharan Empire.
Earl Butin’s territory was considered a resort for nobles and Muto often sold valuables there.

But one day, his relationship with Earl Butin was ruined.
It was when the sands of Reidan started to be sold as a longevity remedy.

As the ridiculous formula of ‘Earl Butin=luxury longevity remedy’ started to be established, the interest of the nobles in Muto’s valuables decreased.
After that, Muto became insignificant.

Muto needed the East Continent to recover.
If he didn’t increase the account here, he could no longer be able to cope with his company’s trading volume decreasing.

‘Looking at the trends these days, I might end up falling to the 7th rank.’

If he lost his rank, he was likely to lose sponsors.
His pride as a merchant was smashed.

‘Once I arrive in Kars, I must see the Cho King.
If I show the king the culture of the West Continent…
Eh?’

Muto moved across the East Continent with the mercenaries he employed, only to stop in place.

A spectacular sight was unfolding in the mountain valley in the distance.

“This is the secret technique that has been passed down in my family for generations! Filleting! My skills have been trained in order to prepare today’s lunch!”

“N-No, this isn’t a carp but a mermaid…”

“It is still half fish.
What is wrong?”

“…?”

It was a rare sight.

The level 300 mermaid monster in the valley trembled as a kitchen knife held by a middle-aged man neared them.

The most impressive thing was the black-haired man trying to hold the middle-aged man back from from the mermaid.

‘Grid…?’

The first legendary class and first king.

The most famous man in the world who achieved countless feats.

‘Why is he here?’

Was this a coincidence?

A smile appeared on the face of the bewildered Muto.

‘This might be a fated relationship.’

In fact, Muto was a person who hated Grid.

It was because Grid was the one who started to sell the remedy from Reidan.

Strictly speaking, Muto’s fall was due to Grid.
It was natural to feel resentment.

But at this moment, Muto’s feelings for Grid were washed away.

It was because he thought that he was bound to Grid by strings of fate.

“I was going to rest in that valley but a guest has arrived there first.”

“Do you mind?”

A mercenary asked.

Muto shook his head.

“All your heads will be cut off if you ask him to leave.”

“…?”

The mercenaries frowned.

They were the strongest warriors of Zentu.
Muto hired them because he acknowledged this fact.

Yet that black-haired man would kill all of them?

“I can’t accept it.”

Zentu.

It was a village near the queen rat community that had been destroyed by someone a few months ago.

In order to survive the rats, the inhabitants of Zentu endlessly trained and gained the title of warrior.
They had great pride in their skills.

“Shall we see if he is really stronger than us?”

The mercenaries were unable to hide their uncomfortable feelings.

“Oh, don’t eat mermaids.
It is like human flesh.”

Peeng!

Pepepepeok!

“…?”

An explosion took place in the valley.

It was a phenomenon that occurred when the black-haired man used swordsmanship and magic.

“T-This is impossible.”

The mercenaries were at a loss for words.

They could barely repel the mermaids of Jam Valley one-on-one.
The mermaids were strong enough to be compared to the poisonous rats.

But the black-haired man took out dozens of mermaids in the blink of an eye.
The dimension was different.

“How about it? Isn’t he on a different class? I heard that the warriors of Zentu admire strong people.
Isn’t he strong?”

“Gulp.”

The mercenaries didn’t respond to Muto.
They could only gulp.
They got goosebumps.

‘If we had come across him unaware…’ 

‘By now we would be like the mermaids.’

They got goosebumps just imagining it.

‘Huh?’

All of the mercenaries shook their head.

Suddenly, the black-haired man took out a needle and thread and started sewing.

“W-What?”

The mercenaries were surprised.

Muto was more surprised than them.

‘Sewing cloth? How can Grid, a blacksmith, deal with cloth?’

He really wasn’t just a celebrity.

They kept meeting by chance and Grid was a constant source of interest.

Muto was convinced.

‘This is my chance.’

Today’s accidental encounter would be the opportunity of a lifetime.

“Okay…
Let's go.
First of all, let’s greet him.”

Muto took a deep breath to get rid of his tension and excitement before walking up to Grid with his mercenaries.

He could smell food waste as he neared but he didn’t care.
