Lord Langdon looked at Aldred with an expressionless face at first, but when he saw the smile on Aldred's face, Langdon smiled as well. In his line of work, expression was important to send out a message about how you wanted to be treated. If you wanted a pure business relationship and respect, then stone-cold expression was a great choice. It made the opponents wonder what you were thinking, and less prone to trick you.
When dealing with merchants, this was the best expression to use. But Aldred's stance was still unknown to Langdon. Did he come here for trades? Alliance? He didn't know yet.
Though he couldn't predict Aldred's intention, he could peer through his power. Activating his ultra instinct, Langdon was shocked to realize that Aldred was a young boy in an adult's body. He was 11 years old and already at Elite Gold Rank.
"I heard about you, Lord Aldred," Langdon greeted.
"Please, no need to call me lord."
