Cale snorted at the siblings before ignoring their gazes. However, their gazes were not on him, but on the bag that was filled with bread earlier but was now empty. They were probably curious.

But what could they do? They couldn�t do anything.

These children were probably too scared to even go near the man-eating tree. However, it is always good to be on the safe side. It would be bad if they went up to the tree and put their head into the hole and got eaten.

[The children of the slums have no fear. It was because they treasured a single grain of rice more than a blade coming their way. Death is always around them, so they do not fear death. They fear being hungry more than death.]

It was something that was written in [The Birth of a Hero].

That was why Cale decided to speak to the pair of siblings.

�If you want to eat bread again tomorrow, don�t say a thing.�

The two siblings did not say anything. They were immediately following Cale�s order. The young girl, who seemed hesitant earlier, put her hand on her brother�s mouth and pretended to not see Cale. Cale smiled and thought that she was pretty smart, as he quickly left the slums.

The people in the slums who knew Cale had gone to the top of the hill were looking at him wondering what crazy thing he was doing now, but Cale liked that kind of gaze.

The people outside the slums looked at Cale weirdly as well, but Cale didn�t care about these gazes.

�Ah, young master. You are back.�

Once Cale returned to the tea shop, Billos greeted him pretty happily.

�Yes. Bring me a new cup of tea. A refreshing one this time.�

Cale headed back to his seat on the third floor. It should have been pretty busy at this time, but there was nobody else on the third floor. They were all avoiding the trash of the Count�s family. That was why Cale could relax.

�Here is your tea, young master. I also brought up some desserts.�

�Ah, great. Thanks.�

Cale only continued to look toward the city gate as he took a sip of the tea. Billos observed Cale�s face with an odd expression before he quietly left the third floor. It was weird to hear Cale thanking someone.

Cale continued to order tea and desserts as he looked outside the window until the sky slowly turned orange and the sun set. He only got up when night arrived and it was dark outside.

It was now time to go interact with the dangerous dude who will come from outside the wall.

When does a person get more angry?

Is it when they get hit by a strong straight or when they are hit five or six times by annoying jabs?

It is, of course, the latter.

Cale threw five jabs before he was hit. Which means, one jab should be okay.
