Chapter 133: Gratitude

As the woman glanced over, Hua Mi found her increasingly familiar.

This scene felt like dj vu...

Before any eye contact between them could happen, her attention was drawn back to the provoking words of that burly man.

The heated exchange continued between the two sides.

Security personnel persisted in calming things down, while the onlookers kept enjoying the spectacle.

Seemingly, nothing had changed.

Was this the world of adventurers?

Shaking his head, Hua Mi returned to the resting area, engrossed in a book.

At that moment, the owner of the Shadow Veil Beast also followed him there.

"I'm Ryan Darren. You can call me Ryan. Thank you so much for your help," he sat beside Hua Mi, expressing, "The Shadow Veil Beast is excellent at hiding. If it weren't for your timely help, I might have lost this lovely little creature today."

Lovely?

Are you sure?

Hua Mi eyed his bloodstained fingers, reserving judgment on that term.

If anything was cute, it was the little bees, not something so bloody; at most, they'd make you feel excruciating pain.

"But I'm curious, how did you find it? Did you use some special ability?"

"I have some experience in raising small animals."

Originally intending to brush him off, Hua Mi didn't expect the guy's eyes to light up instantly, "Ohso, you're a beast tamer too? This is truly surprising! It's rare to meet a fellow colleague here. I think we can exchange experiences!"

As he spoke, he leaned in, appearing quite excited.

Hua Mi shifted away slightly, "No, I'm just interested in raising small animals, not a professional."

"Ah, I see!" Ryan's enthusiasm didn't diminish upon hearing this. On the contrary, he seemed even happier and suddenly snapped his fingers, "Ah-ha! In that case, I know what to give you as a token of appreciation!"

Saying so, he lowered his head, rummaging through a side pouch.

After a moment, he pulled out a handbell.

Seemingly crafted from some black metal, it had intricate raised patterns on its surface.

Ding-a-ling

Ryan shook it, and the bell emitted a clear sound.

"This is my spare Soul Calming Bell. Have you heard of this item?" Without waiting for Hua Mi's reply, Ryan continued rapidly, "The sound from this bell has a soothing effect. When used in taming, it can double the effectivenessof course, limited to beasts with lower intelligence. For those as intelligent as humans or even surpassing humans, ringing this bell would only anger them... Haha!"This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Finishing, Ryan burst into laughter, seemingly remembering something amusing.

With a wave to the two members behind him, they immediately went and helped the burly man up and dragged him towards the door.

Relying on brute force and resisting the two, he refused to leave, shouting, "Hey! She hit me! Aren't you going to do anything? This Sulcian harlot hit me!"

"Stay calm, okay?" The captain stepped forward, hand resting on the man's shoulder. Despite wearing a gentle smile, a sudden surge of dominating golden light seemed to envelop his body, like he was covered in a layer of golden armor.

Seeing this, the man's eyes cleared instantly, becoming civil. "Okay, okay... Let's all calm down."

Glancing at the woman and then obediently leaving.

"As far as I know, that captain is also from Sulcia," Ryan whispered to Hua Mi, "But you can't detect any accent, can you?"

That's how it is.

The big oaf has dug his own grave this time.

However, the overwhelming strength displayed by the captain piqued Hua Mi's interest.

I wonder what path he follows?

After the captain persuaded the burly man away, things returned to normal. The woman watched the captain depart, glanced around, and finally settled her gaze on the rest area. She adjusted her hair and walked over, looking solemn.

"Thank you for intervening. Otherwise, I might not have been able to get away so easily," she bowed deeply to Hua Mi, "Please accept my sincere gratitude."

Before Hua Mi could speak, Ryan stood up first.

Also pressing his hand to his chest, he bowed, "To be honest, this whole thing was because I didn't keep an eye on my pet properly, causing trouble for you."

"It's not your fault; it's that big guy who's unreasonable."

"But I'm involved too."

"Please don't say that."

"But it's the truth."

"No, no, no..."

...

These two are excessively polite.

After observing her for a while, a memory fragment suddenly clicked in Hua Mi's mind, enlightening him.

He knew where

this familiar feeling came from.

It's impressive he could recall.

This woman...

Could she have some connection with him?
