"The Legendary Rence!"
"Rence!"
"..."
As they walked along, people they encountered greeted the burly man while casting curious glances at Carl.
"Rence!"
A tall woman with a flash of red in front approached with a playful tone:
"Bringing another newcomer?"
"Yes." Rence stopped in his tracks, clearly a bit apprehensive of the newcomer:
"Josie, what are you doing here?"
"Nothing much?" Josie, who had also ascended normally to the Late Stage Legend, glanced at Carl, her lips curling upward:
"I also need newcomers in my place. Why not let me have this one?"
"No way!" Rence's eyes narrowed:
"I have no one on hand, and the Elder's mission is urgent. You can wait for the next batch if you want people."
"Hmm..." Josie thought for a moment:
"I recall you just brought two newcomers from here two weeks ago. Are they used up so quickly?"
"None of your business." Rence's face darkened:
"Conni, let's go!"
Carl glanced at Josie, smiled faintly, and continued to follow Rence.
