"Ignacio Richard?" Vance Johansson's expression darkened instantly.
If Mason Raymond truly became Ignacio Richard's student, touching him would require considerable effort.
"Yes, but apparently Mason Raymond turned him down," the steward continued.
Vance Johansson's brow furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but sneer. "He actually said no? I never thought Ignacio Richard would face rejection, haha!"
The steward wasn't as confident as Vance Johansson. He said fawningly, "Young Master, since Ignacio Richard has taken notice of Mason Raymond, he must think highly of him."
"It's only been six months, and he's already making headlines everywhere. Who knows how much stronger he'll get if we give him another six months..."
Vance Johansson scoffed. "You're giving him too much credit. He's just a grandmaster right now. You think he'll jump several levels in half a year?"
The steward said seriously, "Even so, if Ignacio Richard decides to shield him..."
