His tone was brusque.
He was prepared to fight the moment this conversation took a negative turn.
Captain Himmel was sure that the young man in front of him was a spy sent by robbers, which was why he was so unfriendly.
David, who was standing in the middle of the route, began complaining in his mind.
If it was not for him, their Madam and Young Master would have gone to Hades. How dare they shout so rudely at him.
However, David was not a petty man.
He had decided to hide his identity, and it was unfair to blame the other party for acting rude toward him.
âHey, good sir! Iâm just looking for a ride. It would be nice if I could have some help,â David replied politely.
âHo! You really donât know when to give up, do you? Are you trying to get something out of us now that weâve just experienced a big battle and are all wounded? Do you think Iâm stupid? How about if I send you off your way with one swing of my blade?â Captain Himmel sneered as he said.
He took out his huge saber and pointed it at David.
âWhy donât you believe me, Sir?! I donât mean any harm.â
David shook his head with a bitter smile.
âYouâre a loner on this barren land who moves faster than we do right now. How am I supposed to believe you? Would you believe it if it was you?â
That does it!
There was nothing else that David could do.
If he wanted to stay with them, he would have to show them some of his abilities.
He would just need to prove that he was stronger than Captain Himmel was.
No one would chase him away then.
David was just about to speak up.
That was when a voice suddenly rang out.
âWhatâs going on, Captain Himmel?â
The voice came from within the carriage. It belonged to the Madam, Leticia Chandler.
âMadam, itâs that young man who had stood in our way before. Iâll chase him off right now. It wonât take much time,â Captain Himmel replied respectfully.
He was about to move forward and take care of that ignorant rascal physically.
If that rascal insists on staying where he was, Captain Himmel would slash him with his saber.
This was all for the sake of escorting the Madam and the Young Master safely to the Imperial Capital.
It was safer to kill this young man than let him off.
However, Captain Himmel did not manage to do so.
It was because Leticia spoke up once more.
âLet him stay, Captain Himmel!â
âHuh???â
Captain Himmel was confused.
There might be some problem with his hearing.
Is the Madam allowing a stranger to stay with them?
Captain Himmel asked, âWhat did you just say, Madam? I didnât hear you.â
âI said to let that young man stay! Weâll take him with us,â Leticia repeated herself.
âBut, Madam, we know nothing about that young man. He doesnât look like a good person. Keeping him with us would compromise your safety!â Captain Himmel tried to talk her out of it. 1 David nearly turned away when he heard this.
What did that man mean by him not looking like a good person?
That man looked like a bad person too!
His entire family must be bad people too.
If David had not arrived in time. Captain Himmel would not even have a place and time to cry out of misery.
âSir! That doesnât sound nice at all. I think Iâm still considered a good-looking guy even though a personâs looks donât determine whether they are good or bad. But I donât think I look like a bad person!â
David could not help retorting.
âHow dare you!!! Iâm speaking to the Madam. There is no place for a rascal like you to interrupt!â
Captain Himmel looked at David furiously.
