Everyone Tames Beasts: I End Up Taming Diseases - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: God Will Bless You

Adrian was very tempted to take Charles’s advice.

However, in the end, he still shook his head and said softly, “Forget it. We’ll meet again in the future.”

Charles shrugged and didn’t try to persuade him anymore. Instead, he simply sighed with emotion and said, “I didn’t expect Captain to be the daughter of Duke Masefield! However, she left so suddenly that I wasn’t prepared.”

Adrian touched his lips gently, savoring the kiss he’d shared with Alice not so long ago. “Yeah,” he murmured. “I wasn’t even ready. Why would she just leave?”

Now that he knew Alice’s identity, all his previous doubts had been explained.

For example, he now knew why Alice didn’t have any concept of spending money, and why she often had a noble temperament…

The more Adrian thought about it, the more disappointed he felt. If he had a choice, he really didn’t want Alice to be the Duchess.

“Let’s find an inn to stay in and rest well for two days,” said Adrian softly.

Charles was dumbfounded and suddenly asked, “Brother, do you have any money on you?”

Adrian shook his head and gave Charles a quizzical look. Then, he asked curiously, “Don’t you have any money too?”

“I have no money…” Charles gulped and said in panic.

They were doomed! When they joined the beast-catching team, they had already used all their remaining money to join the team.

Furthermore, the two of them had been in the Spiritual Beast Forest for too long and had almost forgotten that they needed money for everything outside.

Only at that moment did they realize that Alice had been responsible for all the expenses.

However, Alice had gone home! But their pockets were still empty!

Could it be that they were about to be reduced to living on the streets and begging for a living just after leaving the Spiritual Beast Forest?

Adrian’s expression suddenly changed to one of agony. He felt very helpless.

Without money, they could not go anywhere. They might not even be able to eat.

Furthermore, they were not familiar with this place. Thus, it would be difficult for them to find a job. What should they do?

At this moment, Richard, who was about to leave, suddenly noticed the embarrassed look on their faces.

He hesitated for a while before asking, “Why don’t you stay at my place for a few days?”

Charles, who thought that he was going to live on the streets, was stunned for a moment before he almost cried. He quickly grabbed Richard’s hands and said excitedly, “You’re such an angel! God will protect you! I swear!”

Richard couldn’t stand being so close to Charles. He pushed him away with great distaste before whispering, “My house isn’t very big. As long as you don’t mind that, you’re welcome to stay.”

“We don’t mind. We’ll be satisfied as long as we have a place to stay,” said Adrian with a face full of gratitude.

Richard could accept Charles’ gratitude with ease.

However, in the face of Adrian’s gratitude, Richard felt a sense of fear. He didn’t dare to accept the gratitude of the Silver Beast Tamer. Thus, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Adrian, please don’t be so polite. This is what I should do. It’s also my way of repaying you for not killing me.”

Richard had always been puzzled by Adrian’s behavior.

He clearly had the identity of a Silver Beast Tamer, so why was he acting so weak? Furthermore, why was he living such a difficult life?

It should be known that other Silver Beast Tamers were all wealthy people. No matter how bad their situation was, they would not be as miserable as Adrian.

Thus, Richard thought Adrian must have some kind of quirk, such as liking to appear weak and pretending to be poor.

If not, his brain must be damaged.

However, Richard only dared to think about these things in his heart. He could not afford to offend either Alice the Duchess or Adrian the Silver Beast Tamer!

“Mr. Adrian, this way please,” said Richard with a face full of respect.

Adrian was a little embarrassed to hear that. He ate other people’s food and lived in other people’s houses. However, in the end, he was treated with such respect. Just thinking about this made him blush. Thus, he quickly said politely, “Richard, you don’t have to be so reserved. Please treat me like how you treat ordinary people. You don’t have to do this deliberately.”

However, Richard shook his head firmly and said, “No, no, no, Mr. Adrian, please don’t think too much about it. This is the basic etiquette for us locals to treat our guests.”

“Really?” Adrian was a little convinced, but also a little skeptical. Besides, he thought that even if it was basic etiquette, it didn’t require such respect.

Meanwhile, Charles was instantly rendered speechless by Richard’s flattery. He didn’t know why Richard had to be so humble. He couldn’t help but curse, “Why doesn’t this guy show me some manners? His words sound nice, but frankly speaking, he only respects the strong!”

Adrian summoned the Fire Demon Lizard out of the spiritual beast shelter. He gently stroked the orange-red spiritual beast and smiled. “Let’s go. I’ll show you around. Don’t cause any trouble.”

The Fire Demon Lizard growled and responded to Adrian very obediently. It even licked the back of Adrian’s hand with its bright red tongue.

Richard looked at the Fire Demon Lizard from a close distance, feeling both admiration and fear. As expected of a Level-3 spiritual beast, it was much better than his Level-2 spiritual beast!

The group left the backyard and walked deeper into the streets.

When it was almost dark, Adrian and the others arrived at Richard’s house.

Richard was right. His house really wasn’t that big. When they walked in to take a look, it probably wouldn’t be able to fit even a Fire Demon Lizard.

However, it was barely enough for three people to live inside. There were enough daily necessities as well.

“Mr. Adrian, I’m afraid that your spiritual beast won’t be able to enter my home. Aren’t you going to summon it back to the void?” Richard looked at the Fire Demon Lizard with an awkward expression.

Adrian smiled. “I’ll leave it outside to guard the door.”

Richard was slightly surprised to hear this. He knew that summoning spiritual beasts was very taxing on one’s mental strength. Adrian had already walked with this Fire Demon Lizard for almost an entire afternoon, but why was there no sign of mental exhaustion?

However, Richard didn’t dare to ask this question. After all, he was afraid that he might accidentally touch upon Adrian’s secret and bring trouble to himself. Thus, he quickly smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll prepare dinner for you. Please help yourselves.”

With that, Richard made his way into his tiny kitchen and began to work.

Although he looked like a rough man, he was quite good at cooking. It seemed that he had cooked quite a lot himself.
