6: Passion Bar

At this moment, Ron had to lower his head.

But it wasn't out of respect; it was to prevent the other party from noticing the killing intent in his eyes.

At present, he was still a helpless youth.

Even if he could suddenly kill someone, he wouldn't escape the pursuit of the town's guards.

Therefore, Ron could only endure for now, waiting until he obtained that Breathing Technique and gained strength before dealing with this filthy wretch.

Mrs. Mirar, naturally unaware of Ron's inner thoughts, continued to speak with a smile.

“Ron, your sister asked me for a favor before.”

“She asked me to introduce her to work at Mr. Saar’s home in Kura City, you should know about this, right?”

Ron's eye twitched, and a vein bulged.

His hand, clutching the rabbit, slowly clenched into a fist.

This bitch, did she really have the nerve to bring it up?

Did she truly believe he didn't know she had sold his sister into slavery?

“I know.”

Ron took a deep breath, his voice devoid of any emotion.

“That’s good, your sister is doing very well at the Saar Family now.”

“Although she has to work hard every day, she never has to worry about food or drink; yesterday when I went to the Saar Family, I even saw that she had gained weight.”

Mrs. Mirar, with her silver tongue, spoke with great emotion, as if everything was as wonderful as she described.

Immediately after, she sighed again.

“However, you are now all alone, and Alice is very worried.”

“Therefore, she asked me to find a job for you too; well, you know, I’m always a kind person.”

“So, I made some inquiries and found that Mr. Kreji’s home in Kura City also needed a male servant.”

Mrs. Mirar looked at Ron with a beaming smile, her face, covered in white powder, showed no hint of deceit.

“So, do you want to give it a try?”

Male servant?

Ron sneered inwardly; this wretch made it sound so good.

If it weren't for the system's intelligence, he might have actually believed her lies.

“Mrs. Mirar, thank you for your kindness, but I don’t want to work right now.”

Ron said indifferently, and Mirar’s expression immediately stiffened.

But in an instant, her face returned to normal, and she asked with some curiosity.

“Why is that? As far as I know, the wages your sister gave you should be almost used up, right?”

“If you don’t find a job, do you intend for your sister to keep supporting you? That won’t do!”

Ron shook his head, pretending to be naive as he said, “I want to go to the Knight Academy first.”

“Knight Academy?”

Mrs. Mirar was startled, then burst into laughter.

The Knight Academy Ron mentioned was the only public academy in Hibo Town.

As long as one paid enough tuition and was of suitable age, they would have a chance to enroll.

Inside the academy, not only were literacy and skills taught,

but suitable talents would even be selected to be taught Breathing Techniques and trained to become Knights.

Since its establishment, the academy had been operating for over twenty years and had trained a total of ten Knights.

This meant that, on average, one Knight could be trained every two years.

Therefore, the children of Hibo Town all wanted to enter this academy and become one of those lucky ones.

But in reality, Mirar knew the truth.

All ten Knights trained by the academy did not come from commoner families.

Those children's families were either wealthy merchants, powerful law enforcement officers, or even descendants of nobles from Kura City.

The so-called lucky ones were just a scam.

So, Mirar's lips curled into a slight, mocking smile as she said, “Ron, I advise you to be a bit more down-to-earth; you can’t possibly become a Knight.”

Ron, however, seemed a bit unconvinced and mumbled, “How would I know if I don’t try?”

Seeing Ron’s stubborn expression, Mirar felt disdain inwardly, but on her face, she gave a perfunctory smile and said,

“Alright, since you want to do that, then try it first.”

“If you don’t succeed by then, just come back to me; I’ll keep that job open for you.”

Mirar brushed past Ron, twisting her waist and laughing as she left.

She knew that Ron could never become a Knight, and he couldn't even afford the tuition fees.

So, she wasn't in a hurry at all, knowing that Ron would definitely come looking for her in a few days, walking right into her trap.

And after Mirar had walked far away, the innocent look on Ron's face instantly vanished.

“Laugh now; in a little while, I’ll make sure you never laugh again.”

Ron sneered; his earlier words were, of course, to deceive Mirar.

At present, he still needed time to improve his strength and could only bide his time for now.

“However, Mirar wasn't wrong about one thing: I do need a legitimate job.”

After calming down, Ron thought to himself.

He had taken Barto’s wallet earlier, so he wasn't short on money.

However, he was now an orphan with no family property.

To spend this money reasonably and without arousing suspicion,

the simplest method was to find a suitable job.

“I’ll go back first.”

Ron continued forward, returning to the stone house an hour later.

He felt the rabbit’s abdomen but didn’t detect anything unusual.

So, he took out the small iron pot and placed it on the ground.

Then, using a short knife for cutting vegetables, he carefully slit the rabbit’s belly.

Splash!

The rabbit’s internal organs and blood all fell into the small iron pot.

Ron endured thefishy smell and rummaged carefully through the entrails for a while.

Suddenly, his movements stopped.

“Is this the essence fruit?”

Ron’s blood-covered hand, using his index finger and thumb, was pinching an egg-sized bead.

Although the bead was covered in bloodstains, under the sunlight, it still emitted faint emerald green glimmers.

Ron quickly washed it with water, revealing a crystal-clear green bead, like jade, pulsating with vibrant life as if it were a living thing.

“Once I get the Breathing Technique, combined with this essence fruit, I might really have a chance to become a Knight!”

Ron’s heart was filled with excitement, and after playing with the essence fruit for a while, he carefully wrapped it in cloth and put it away.

“This rabbit shouldn’t go to waste; it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten meat.”

Ron swallowed, then quickly took the rabbit, cleaned it, added firewood, and started a fire.

Although the only seasoning was a bit of salt, Ron, who hadn't seen meat or fish for a long time, ate with great relish.

He even licked the bones clean, leaving nothing behind.

In the afternoon, Ron set off again, heading to Hibo Town.

By evening, he changed direction and arrived at the boundary between the Commoner District and the Wealthy District.

In Hibo Town, there were two places where people could gather to drink.

One was the Pirate Tavern in the Commoner District, where drinks were cheap, but the environment was noisy and chaotic.

The other was the Enthusiastic Bar in the Wealthy District, where drinks were expensive, but the decor was exquisite and the style elegant.

And most importantly, there were bards and sexy ladies performing, making it very popular among the wealthy.

“He’s here.”
