Chapter 337 Arriving at C Vige
Of course, Austin heard everything that the two girls said under their breath.
Austin was amused. The two beautiful women seemed to be very convinced that he was a beggar.
Well, they were the ones who offered to treat him for a meal. This was very nice of them and a
pleasure for Austin, too. He found no reason to refuse.
"Little begga-- I mean, young man," she corrected herself, "we ordered a little too much food and we
can''t seem to finish it. Come and eat with us!"
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
The girl in a red dress said. Her voice was crisp and pleasant like the song of an Oriole. The vibrancy
of her personality reflected in the way she talked so quickly.
"Yes, please join us!"
the girl in a white dress echoed, looking straight at Austin''s eyes.
Everything around her seemed to blur the instant Austin caught sight of her.
He stared, startled.
She was about 17 or 18 years old. Her skin was pale and delicate as snow. Her eyebrows were neatly
plucked, framing her beautiful eyes. Her dress clung lightly to her body, entuating her slender figure.
She radiated an aura of youthful freshness. She reminded him of pear flowers.
The girl in red, on the other hand, reminded him of hibiscus, who was equally beautiful but with fiery
energy that pierced through anyone''s heart, in contrast to the gentle touch of the girl in white.
They were both quite stunning.
"Well then, I would love to help," Austin said as he stepped into the inn, following the two girls as they
walked back to the lounge. On a seat near the window, they all sat down.
Austin''s gritty look somewhat bothered the innkeeper and his employees. Their first instinct was to ask
him to go out. Upon the sight of the two girls he was with, however, they decided to eventually allow
him entry.
The moment they sat down, a middle-aged man approached and whispered to the two girls. "Miss, I
don''t think that what you are doing is a good idea. Please be careful when traveling. You don''t know
who the hobo you are dining with is. He shouldn''t even be in here," he said.
The middle-aged man was clearly something of a caretaker. He seemed to be in charge of keeping the
girls safe.
"Mike, it''s okay. Don''t worry. When he''s done eating, we will ask him to leave and go on his way," the
girl in a white dress reasoned, frowning.
"Yeah, Mike, you don''t have to worry about it," the girl in a red dress confirmed.
Mike, the middle-aged man, knew of the twodies'' privileged upbringing. They had been pampered
their whole lives and were ustomed to having their way. Persuading them to do otherwise was close
to impossible. This said, he realized that it would be a futile attempt to try to convince them not to dine
with the stranger. Out of options, he red at Austin, as if to warn him, and then retreated to a nearby
table.
Austin just smiled. To be honest, he didn''t really care what the man thought.
"Treat yourself, have whatever you want!"
the girl in a red dress said.
"Haha, thank you,dies. I am gonna dig in then," he replied lightheartedly.
Austin could barely remember thest time he had a good meal. Immediately, with all the delicious food
in front of him. Austin munched enthusiastically.
He deliberately made a mess of eating as oily sauces spattered all over the table.
The two girls smiled. They looked amused at the novel sight before them.
Surrounding diners started to give Austin strange looks, partly disturbed and partly envious.
Several men spotted the two beautiful girls but dared not approach as they were apanied by a
No one could have expected that a dirty, penniless beggar would be the one given the privilege of
dining with the two beautiful women.
''What the hell? What did that hobo do to suddenly get close to those prettydies?'' they thought.
They red at Austin. They were so envious that they looked as if they were ready to tear him apart
any minute.
Austin, being fully aware of the situation, could not help but stifle augh.
The old saying that goes ''beautiful women are trouble'' was true, after all. They managed to turn a
rxed cafe into a possible riot zone with all the big men turning towards a poor beggar.
Soon, Austin finished eating all the food on the table. Satisfied, he stood andughed as he wiped his
mouth with his sleeve.
"I had a great time,dies. Thank you so much for your kindness. Goodbye!" he said
and he immediately made his exit.
The two girls were stunned. They looked at the empty tes before them and could not believe their
eyes. There was so much food on the table. It was almost enough to feed both of them for four to five
days. Still, the beggar managed to finish it all in just a few moments!
The girl in a white dress smiled as she watched Austin trot away.
"Wow, he''s really a free-spirited guy," shemented.
Visibly pleased with himself for being lucky enough to be invited to a hearty meal by two beautiful
He walked down the street looking for an inn to spend the night
when overbearing loud noises got his attention.
"Look at those two chicks. Their bodies seem so smooth and delicate. I bet it''ll feel great to screw them
too," one of them said.
With his spiritual sense, Austin saw that the voice came from one of the two standing figures in a
shadowy corner of the inn.
Austin heard everything they said clearly.
"Haha, don''t worry. The fleet that''s in charge of their protection and guardianship will have to rest and
spend the night in C Vige tomorrow night. That is when we will do it," thepanion responded.
"We''ll get those girls, for sure. Don''t you worry. You''ll get yours, you horny fuck!"
"Well, that''s true. We''ve just been so busy trying to find Austin these past few days. It''s been a while
since I slept with a woman.
Oh well, at least there''s a brothel in G Town. I guess I''ll just have to go and enjoy myself there for
tonight. Tomorrow, we''ll have the two chicks.
Plus, the group looks like they have a lot of valuable items. Looks like the Blood Wolf Team''s lucky day.
We''ll have sex and treasures!" the other man concluded.
''The Blood Wolf Team again?'' Austin thought. It was only then that Austin noticed the red wolf logo on
the men''s sleeves: the sigil of the Blood Wolf Team.
It seemed that the Blood Wolf Team was nning to abduct the two girls tomorrow night
but they were sent here primarily to track Austin! It was because of him that the two girls and their
valuables got their attention. Now, they were nning to mug them in C Vige! Austin suddenly felt so
guilty for getting the girls in trouble.
They were nice enough to offer him a meal. To Austin, he owed them a favor.
His integrity obliged him to intervene.
For now, he needed to find an inn to rest. Tomorrow, he was going to follow the girls on their way to C
Vige.
The next day, a troop with more than a dozen carriages left G Town on its way to C Vige.
In a small path along the road, hidden amongst trees, a figure slowly followed them. It was Austin.
Austin''s strong spiritual sense enabled him to be aware of his surroundings of up to a 3, 000-meter
radius. This enabled him to watch the troop''s every move as if it were all happening in front of him.
A few momentster, he felt a few dozen people sneaking their way following the troop.
Austin, of course, knew who these people were. They were the members of the Blood Wolf Team.
"We have to be very, very quiet, so we can carry out our n once they get to C Vige. They will have
no chance to escape by then!"
one of the Blood Wolf Team''s members sneered.
This stunned Austin. It seemed that the few dozen men currently trailing them were not alone. They
had more people waiting to ambush in C Vige!
Still, Austin had improved greatly in terms of strength. This made him more difficult to intimidate.
As long as there were no masters in the Mysterious Realm from the Blood Wolf Team, Austin was quite
certain that he would be able to deal with its members which were predominantly in the Earth Realm.
A part of him also wanted to eliminate thempletely by killing their men.
Their rivalry has grown malevolently. At this point, it was either they died or he did. Because of this,
Austin knew that he had to take extreme measures whenever he encountered them. He had to make
the most of every opportunity to fight them.
He continued to observe both groups the whole day but it turned out to be quite uneventful. Before he
knew it, the sun has fallen and it was nighttime.
The troop finally reached the entrance of a vige. The stone monument that marked it was seasoned
in rust and moss caused by the wind, rain, and snow that it had been exposed to. Grimy and dirty, and
yet, it stood tall. It must have been a while since it was reced.
Two words were written on the stone monument: C Vige.
Further into the entrance, an old tree with skinny and crooked branches looked over the travelers.
Several crows perched at its arms and cawed adding gloom to the already eerie atmosphere.
The vige was enveloped in darkness with nothing but a few shimmering lights from the mountain on
its horizon. There was dead silence. Everything seemed barren and depressing.
Compared to the other prosperous towns, these mountain viges were like deserts.
The sun dictated the vigers'' activities in mountain viges such as these. When it sets, the peopley
down to rest.
"Ladies, it seems that we will have to rest in this vige tonight," Mike, the middle-aged man, went to
the carriage of two girls and said.
"Alright, let''s find an inn where we cany our heads. Mike, remember to pay generously to whomever
is willing to give us shelter," one of the girls responded.
"Okay, I understand," Mike confirmed. Then, he led the troop into the vige.
