Chapter 1053: As if nothing happened


    ?


    After returning to the Harakka Tribe, people naturally questioned why some of us were injured, but we didn''t tell them anything.


    It was Alidus who stopped Olos and Olmir from questioning us even though they had concerned looks on their faces.


    Since it was Alidus that did it, they treated it as if nothing happened.


    But Olos did say to Alidus, "If there''s anything that you need help with, I''m here for you."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    It was the kind of thing that a father would say to a son when they respected their independence, but they still wanted to show that they supported them. They would be there to help if there was anything that they needed.


    Alidus gave a simple nod in response, but he didn''t say anything.


    Since that was the case, both Olos and Olmir left matters as they were.


    But what Alidus didn''t know was that after he left, Olmir turned to his brother and said, "It seems like he really has grown up."


    There was a bittersweet smile that appeared on Olos'' lips as he looked in the direction that Alidus walked off in before slowly giving a nod.


    For now, the only thing that we were waiting for was to see how Dorian and the Korin Tribe would act. For that, we would have to go to the market tomorrow and see what they would do.


    ...


    When morning came, we headed off early even though the giant market wouldn''t start this early.


    We wanted to get there early and see if they were preparing to do anything.


    There were very few giants that were here when we arrived and that didn''t include Dorian or his group from the Korin Tribe.


    It seemed that they hadn''t arrived yet.


    The few giants that did arrive early had their eyes light up when they saw us and most of them approached us as they wanted to take this advantage to talk to us before the market started.


    As for what they were trying to aplish...


    Naturally they wanted to make some behind the door deals.


    They wanted to see if they could get some items for the cheap before everyone else arrived.


    There was nothing to lose from doing something like this.


    But we weren''t in the mood to take care of this.


    I left this matter to the aides while keeping watch to see if Dorian and the Korin Tribe would


    come.


    Only it didn''t seem like they wereing.


    Time passed and the sun moved through the sky, it eventually became time to start the giant market and the Korin Tribe group still hadn''t arrived yet. Though most of the other tribes had already arrived.


    They were all gathered around us as if they were waiting for us to start selling our goods.


    I didn''t care as I left all of this to the aides like before.


    Alidus and I just kept watch to see when the Korin Tribe would appear.


    But before they did, Isra and the Vale Tribe came.


    Unlike the others who just ignored us and went for the stall that the aides set up, she came over to look at us with a strange look before asking, "What''s wrong with the two of you? You''re acting strange today."


    It was a fact that we were acting strange, but we were keeping this matter from Isra and the Vale Tribe.


    So I just said, "Nothing, we just have nothing to do while we wait for them to sell everything."


    Isra raised a brow to look at us, but she didn''t say anything in the end.


    Part of that was because the ones that we had been waiting for had arrived.


    It was Dorian who was leading them and the Korin Tribe walked right into the giant market as


    if nothing was wrong. They didn''t even look in our directions, as if they didn''t notice us.


    Or it was better to say that they werepletely ignoring us.


    It was as if they were pretending that we weren''t there at all.


    This was the opposite of what we had been expecting.


    I had thought that he would try to pin some of the me on us since there were injuries on the giants that we had chased off. With just a few words, it should have been easy for him to spread a rumour that we had attacked them.


    But it seemed like he waspletely ignoring us.


    It really seemed like they were pretending that nothing had happened at all.


    Dorian and the Korin Tribe didn''t even bother looking in our direction as they walked into the giant market. They naturally didn''t stop at our stall since they had never traded with us and walked deeper into the market as if they were looking for something.


    But all they did was walk around and look at the different stalls without buying anything.


    I looked at Alidus and he looked at me.


    We could both see what the other person was thinking, but neither of us said it out loud. Isra looked at us with one brow raised again before saying, "You two really are acting strange. It''s almost as if there''s something going on between the two of you."


    "It''s nothing." I said in a calm voice before turning away from the Korin Tribe group.


    Not everyone had arrived yet, so it wasn''t the time for us to do what we were nning to do.


    Alidus also moved away as if he was going to browse the stalls, but it was clear that he was going to follow the Korin Tribe group. It was as if he wanted to make sure that they didn''t leave the giant market.


    Time passed and more and more giants showed up, but we could see that there were some people that were missing.


    Some of the groups that were close to the Korin Tribe before didn''t seem to show up with all of their members.


    It seemed that some of their members were missing for various reasons.


    It wasn''t hard to guess what those reasons were.
