<span style="font-weight:400">“What do you mean?” The boy was wearing a cloth over his head. However, Keith held his hand tight, “How about you hand over the coins you’ve stolen?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">The person was wearing a cloth over her head. She tried to wave her hand out, but the man held her wrist tightly, not letting it go.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How about you hand over the pouch you took from my maid.” He saw it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umm.” May touched her pockets and then realized her pouch was missing.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You know stealing is wrong, right?” Keith stared at the person.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">Keith didn’t say anything before he heard something.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<b><i>Grrrr.</i></b>
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” There was now a silence between the group. It was obvious that the girl was embarrassed by the silence.
<span style="font-weight:400">That was when Keith started tough, “If you’re hungry, then you should have said so.” An apple appeared in his hand as he handed it to the person, “Don’t try to steal coins next time.” Finishing his words, he walked away.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Here’s your pouch back.” Keith handed the pouch to the woman.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Young master is generous.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s not generous. It’s just selfish that I do.” Keith had always wanted to help people. The others might not have the same thought of him.
<span style="font-weight:400">“But that selfishness is something that everyone doesn’t mind.” May and the others didn’t mind it. His selfishness had helped increase the city''s betterment and poption.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Haha,” Keith could onlyugh as they headed off.
<span style="font-weight:400">The next day, it was time for them to return home. Krystal questioned, “Is it alright for us to leave so soon?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s fine. And besides, they have enough support here.” This ce also had guards protecting it. There was no point staying here any longer. Before he had left, he nced at the bakery; T and the other workers were going strong.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Also, I got a lot of things as well.” As he walked around yesterday, he found more fruits he could use. That excited him.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? Why did we stop?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“There’s a group of people in front of us?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?” Keith then looked out of the carriage and said, “Hey, aren’t you the kid who tried to steal from May?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Northern Saint! Please give us jobs!” Without any hesitation, the people bowed their heads down to him. Keith tilted his head, “Huh? You want me to give you jobs?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm! We’ve heard that you can create jobs out of thin air! Not only that, you have saved millions by yourself.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” What kind of rumors are going on in the region? Keith couldn’t believe it. How could there be rumors about him like that? But Carolyn and May nodded their heads.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm, you guys are beastmen, correct?” They were hiding their ears and tails; however, the man knew what kind of people they were.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yes! We’re beastmen, but please hand us some jobs!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmmm?” What kind of jobs can they do? Beastmen were naturally more robust than humans. They could do guard work. But a thought urred for the man.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wait a moment. You guys have a good sense of smell, right?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Mmhmm,” The beastmen nodded. Their sense of smell was quite sharp and sensitive.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">His words only caused Keith to grin even more, “Then let me test you on that.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Carolyn and Krystal tilted their heads. What are you nning right now?
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Right here, I have five fruits. I want you guys to tell me which one is the ripest.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“The sweetnessing from the fruit will tell you so.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umm, then this one is the ripest, then to do this, this one, and this. Thest one is this.” One beastman stated. He added, “But there’s one that started to smell bitter?” There was only one who had a different smell to it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” Keithughed, “Haha, you passed.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“You guys passed the first test.” Keith nodded, “But I will sharpen your sense once we return. Is that fine with you all?” He needed those noses to be much sharper.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Understood!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Michael, go get another carriage. We’re going to need it.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Sure,” Keith entered the carriage to find them all staring at them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“What are you nning to do with these beastmen?” Krystal tilted her head. They were pretty curious about the boy’s ns with them.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m considering using some of them for the chocte factory.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“For the chocte factory?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see,” May immediately understood what he had nned.
<span style="font-weight:400">“For the chocte factory to work, I will need workers with a keen sense of smell. That way, they could smell if something is burnt with the chocte. They could also add things to it.” Someone with a strong sense of smell was needed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I see.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“But having them isn’t going to be enough; I’m thinking about incorporating some other workers to help out as well.” The problem with them is that they’re inexperienced with chocte making. That was the same with the others as well. He would need to teach them how to do it before he could do so.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Young Master had everything nned out.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Now, let’s go grab those wolves and head home!” Keith cheered. He couldn’t forget about those wolves.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah!” Leon and Laura did the same thing.
