"You can always come if you change your mind someday," the old man said after hearing Grace's answer.

"Umm, can we go now?" Richard asked.
He just wanted to leave right away.
"Of course, everyone may go and use your Boundless Gems," the old man replied casually.
After hearing that, Richard immediately began walking away, followed by Grace, Gray, and Elise.
Richard glanced at Roland, giving him a provoking look that nearly made the man's eyes pop out of their sockets in anger.
