Since Austin had met the members of the Blood Wolf Team several times before, he could easily
recognize them after seeing the crimson wolf head embroidered on the corner of their clothes.
He quickly hid in the crowd and pretended to be a spectator.
More than ten members of the Blood Wolf Team were here now and they rushed past the crowded
street on horseback without any qualms. Everyone on the street had to run away as soon as possible
when they saw them. If someone was a little slow to move to the side, the men of the Blood Wolf Team
would lash them cruelly with the horsewhip.
Deterred by their cruelty, nobody in the crowd dared to speak up against them even though they were
furious at being treated this way.
Austin knew the Blood Wolf Team well and guessed that they had come here looking for him. Anyway,
he had hidden well enough, so he wasn't worried about being found by them.
After the men from the Blood Wolf Team passed by, Austin began to walk along the street.
Soon, he found a restaurant that he liked and stepped into it without any hesitation.
At that moment, he heard a beautiful voice.
"Wow, elder sister, look! It's him! It's the beggar who we saw on the road today. He is begging for food
here. What a poor man he is! Look, his clothes are worn and his face is black. He must have been
hungry for a very long time."
It was the voice of the girl from the carriage who had thought that Austin was a beggar.
'What?'
Austin raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
He found two beautiful young women sitting in a compartment by the window. One of them was
wearing red and the other was wearing white.
The girl in red looked about 16 or 17 years old, with a round face and arched eyebrows. Her clear eyes
were sparkling with innocence, making her look particularly cute.
Her smooth skin was as white as winter snow. Although her clothes were simple, a string of shining
pearls around her neck brought out her beauty.
Just like the pearls, the beauty that emanated from the girl was natural. From her delicate and pretty
eyebrows and face, Austin could infer that she was a well-read woman with rich knowledge.
As for the young woman in white, Austin could only see her back, not her face.
However, just her back made Austin realize that she wasn't an ordinary woman. Her slim and tall figure
made her look like a beautiful fairy. Her long black hair covered half of her back and was loosely tied
with a silver silk ribbon.
Illuminated by the light gleaming through the window, she seemed to be surrounded by some kind of
magical haze.
'How beautiful the two girls are!'
Austin felt really attracted to them and he was too overwhelmed by their beauty to say a word.
In fact, he quickly realized that all the customers here were barely eating their delicious food because
they had their eyes glued to the two young women.
Since they were such charming women, it was no surprise that everyone was attracted to them.
But now that Austin had seen how beautiful they were, he felt a little sad that he had been mistaken to
be a beggar by them.
Besides, he felt a little wronged by the comment since he was actually a rich man. He was in the
possession of more than thousands of vital energy crystals which would be enough to buy ten of the
restaurants they were in, or even more.
However, he couldn't fault the two young women for it because they weren't acquainted with him.
Besides, there was no malice in their words, so Austin couldn't say anything in his defense. He just
forced a smile.
'Well, even though I can't defend myself and change the impression of these two beautiful girls, I can
go and find another restaurant to eat something delicious in, ' he said to himself.
"Hey, little beggar! Wait! Eat something here!"
The girl in red shouted and rushed to Austin, holding a plate of golden roast chicken in her hands.
"Do I really look like a beggar? I'm not," Austin couldn't help retorting.
Hearing his words, the girl in red was astonished. She took out a small bronze mirror and passed it to
Austin. "Look at yourself! Don't you look like a beggar?"
She rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
Austin was taken aback when he looked at himself in the mirror.
'Is this... Is this really me?'
His hair was as messy as a bird's nest. It was dirty and matted as well. His face was covered with so
much dust that he couldn't see the real color of his skin. On top of this, he was wearing dirty clothes, so
he really did look like a beggar.
"Yeah! I look like a beggar to some degree..."
He admitted after seeing himself in the mirror.
The girl in red took her mirror back and asked, "Hey, little beggar, where are you from? Why did you go
to the wild alone today? Aren't you hungry now? Do you want to eat some roast chicken?"
The girl asked many questions, which indicated that she was very curious about Austin. She seemed
like an innocent child who was full of curiosity about the outside world.
"I have been begging for food all the way. I don't know where I come from," Austin replied roughly.
"Wow, what a poor man you are!"
The girl in red sighed. She had an urge to flick away the dust on him, but she didn't because she didn't
want to dirty her hand. Instead, she frowned.
"Well, here you are! You can eat the roast chicken right here."
Austin frowned. 'She's asking me to eat by the door?
Wow, she's really treating me like a beggar.'
"Sue, don't do that! You should be polite!"
The girl in white had come over to personally see what was happening.
"Sue, even though he's a beggar, you shouldn't treat him like that. It will hurt him! He is confident and
has self-respect, can't you see? He doesn't like to be treated like a beggar," the girl in white hastily
whispered to the girl in red.
"Yes, the little beggar doesn't like to be called a beggar. You're right. I do seem to have hurt him. What
should I do? Elder sister, can you help me?"
"Of course. How about asking him to eat with us at the table instead of by the door?"
The girl in white suggested after some hesitation.
"Okay! I agree!"
The girl in red nodded immediately. It didn't cross her mind that it would be inappropriate to eat at the
same table as a beggar.
