Chapter 703: Maybe they're just too innocent?



Kyle stepped through the city gate alongside the twins, only to be welcomed by a throng of people and a lively scene unfolding before him. The air was alive with the sounds of soft

chatter, laughter, and the distant clatter of horse-drawn carriages making their way through the streets.

On either side of him, rows of stalls stretched out, each adorned with vibrant fabrics and fresh produce.

Vendors eagerly called out to passersby, enticing them with the delightful aroma of spices and baked goods.

Bia's eyes lit up at the sight of the food, but before the phoenix could dart toward the nearest stall, Kyle quickly grabbed her.

Mason and Logan glanced at Bia, who started biting the human's hands. However, the man didn't let her go and asked them to lead him to a nearby hotel. With nods, the duo quickened

their pace.

On the way, Kyle noticed many demi-humans around him. To his surprise, even though their numbers were fewer, he also spotted some elves and members of the dragon race on the streets.

Bia grumbled in his hands. He sighed as he caught sight of the phoenix eyes locked onto the food stalls around them, studying them with intensity. He caressed her head.

'Stay calm. Can't you tell that, unlike the guards who seem indifferent, everyone around us is secretly checking us out?'

Hearing his words, Bia finally managed to tear her gaze away from the food.

-'Huh? Really? I didn't notice. But I don't think we need to worry. I can clearly sense the crowd around us is quite weak. You just need to lift a finger, and they would fall. So, can't you get me some food?'

Kyle hummed and his gaze met that of a few passersby, all of whom were startled under his stare and quickly looked away.

'I will get you food later. Regardless, I scanned the entire planet with my senses when we arrived here. From what I sensed, there are only two cities, and surprisingly, I can't detect even a hint of darkness.'

After following the twins for a while, he finally arrived in front of a building. Logan glanced at him and cleared his throat.

"This is the best place around. It's a bit pricey, but don't worry, we will cover the expenses... if you want us to."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He glanced at his brother, who swiftly began checking his mind space to see how much money they had. Typically, they didn't carry much since they always spent all their money on precious treasures that appeared in the city to boost their strength. But it's not like they could ask the human to pay, particularly because the little bird with the man could end them in mere seconds!

Kyle glanced at the duo, and before Mason could pull anything from his mind space, he tossed a storage ring to them.

The twins blinked in surprise, but he simply asked them to go get him a nice room. As they entered the hotel to find a room for him, Kyle mumbled under his breath.

"They both lack common sense. I thought once we were inside the city, they would run away because I wouldn't be able to harm them under the gaze of so many."

Bia agreed with his words as they trailed behind the duo who entered the hotel.

Kyle stood up. Now that they weren't attacking him, there was no need for him to resort to violence either. He nodded at the two old demi-humans.

"I didn't mean any harm. I arrived here accidentally after a battle. I plan to stay for a few days until I recover from the injuries I sustained, and then I will leave."

Zhask thought for a moment and communicated with Galdor telepathically to determine if they should allow the human to stay in the city. After their discussion, Zhask turned to the

human.

"If you are merely here as a guest, then you may stay for as long as you wish. However, we would appreciate your assurance that neither you nor your beast will cause any harm to this

city."

Kyle agreed. It's not like he would harm anyone here unless absolutely necessary. He had arrived accidentally and planned to leave after a while.

But he was genuinely curious about the planet, especially since it was safe from the dark side. Observing the lively atmosphere earlier made it clear that the citizens hadn't faced any danger

up to this point either.

He noticed Zhask's gaze on him, and confusion flickered in his eyes. What more could he say? He had already assured them he wouldn't hurt anyone.

"I would appreciate it if you two could send me out of this space. I want to change into fresh clothes and rest, as I am tired from the battle I had recently."

Galdor cleared his throat at his words.

"It's not that we don't want to. We are just waiting for you to introduce yourself."

Kyle let out a sigh. Right, he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"My name is Kyle. This here..."

He pointed at Bia.

"... is my bonded beast."

Zhask and Galdor exchanged glances after hearing his name. Why did it feel like they had heard this name before? Then their eyes widened slightly, and they turned to Kyle, exclaiming

simultaneously.

"Are you the nature's favorite!?"

Kyle raised his brow. They knew about the title he had used in the Gladiator Arena? But he had thought that since there was no dark energy on this planet, it was hidden from the outside world, and he had accidentally entered this place. So how do they know that the title nature's favorite belonged to him just by knowing his name?

"Yes, nature's favorite is a title I used a while back, but how do you both know me?"
