Richard knew this. Of course he knew.

However, even though he knew it was dangerous, his expression remained firm.

Charles felt that Richard had gone completely mad. He didn’t want to go crazy with him, so he pulled Adrian aside and said, “Let’s leave him alone. Let’s go!”

“Okay, I’ll come with you,” said Adrian softly.

“That’s more like it…” Charles’ face was filled with relief. Then, he quickly reacted. He widened his eyes and looked at Adrian in front of him. Then, he said in surprise,” What did you say? Did you say that you wanted to go with him? ”

Adrian nodded gently and said slowly, “That’s right. I want to go with him, because I also need the money.”

Syr Town was thousands of kilometers away from Hilmar City. Thus, the travelling expenses, food, and lodging along the way would cost a huge amount of money. Without sufficient funds, it would be extremely difficult for Adrian to reach his destination.

In order to see Alice as soon as possible, Adrian felt the need to take the risk.

The faster he earned money, the faster he could reach Hilmar City.

Meanwhile, Richard didn’t want to involve anyone else at first. After all, he knew how dangerous it was to escort goods.

However, when he saw Adrian’s determined look, his hesitant expression gradually became firm. He said softly, “If Mr. Adrian is with us, I think it will be much easier. After all, your Level-3 spiritual beast will bring us a lot of convenience.”

“What am I supposed to do if you’re both going?” Charles asked hesitantly and anxiously when he saw that Adrian and Richard had decided to take the risk and earn money.

However, the two of them ignored him and walked straight ahead. Charles watched as they left and could only grit his teeth before following them. He said angrily, “Have you really gone mad? Not only will you encounter spiritual beasts on the way when escorting goods, you might also encounter bandits. In the end, you might not be able to earn anything and even lose your life!”

Charles reminded them as he followed closely behind.

When Charles realised that his words could not influence their will, he could only sigh helplessly and said, “Alright, I’ll accompany you then. Otherwise, I won’t be able to rest peacefully without your protection!”

Seeing that Charles was still nagging at them, Richard said angrily, “There’s no point in you following us. You only have a Level-1 Spiritual Beast and you’re only a Black Iron Beast Tamer. I don’t think anyone will want you.”

This instantly ignited the fury in Charles’ heart. He looked at Richard angrily and said, “I’m a Black Iron Beast Tamer! What’s wrong with being a Black Iron Beast Tamer? Are Black Iron Beast Tamers not human? Does no one want Black Iron Beast Tamers? If you dare to say another word about me, believe it or not, I won’t bother with you anymore!”

“Goodbye then,” said Richard. He couldn’t help but tease Charles when Charles got angry and simply waved his hand.

When Charlie saw this, he was furious. He immediately stopped in his tracks and did not follow them, as if his pride had been hurt.

Adrian could only step out to smooth things over. He looked at Richard and sighed. “Richard, cut it out. Charles is still very reliable.”

“And don’t just stand there like a fool, Charles. Come along.” Adrian turned to Charles, who was sulking, and urged him.

In the end, Charles still refused to leave. Intentionally or unintentionally, Adrian could only say , “When we’re done, we’ll eat barbecued meat…”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Charles’ eyes instantly lit up. Then, he hurriedly followed them and said, “I’ll go too!”

This made Adrian feel both amused and helpless. This guy really wanted to eat everywhere he went.



Since they were quite far from the local escort agency, Richard decided to take the two of them back home to prepare their things.

As soon as they entered the house, Richard realized that Adrian’s Fire Demon Lizard had yet to enter the void.

Since they were rather close to each other now, Richard finally asked, “Mr. Adrian, why don’t you keep your Fire Demon Lizard in the void? Won’t your mental power be exhausted?”

Upon hearing this, Adrian couldn’t help but smile. “That’s because it’s not my spiritual beast. It just likes to follow me. I guess it can be considered my friend.”

“It’s not your contractual spiritual beast?” Richard faltered slightly upon hearing this. He had no idea what was going on and had to carefully consider what Adrian meant. It took him a while to realize the severity of the situation.

Richard suddenly moved away from the Fire Demon Lizard in fear and hurriedly said, “Mr. Adrian, if it’s not your spiritual beast, then who do these contractual halos belong to? Moreover, how do you control it?”

It was not Richard’s fault that he had such a huge reaction. After all, this incident was indeed too terrifying for ordinary people!

One should know that a spiritual beast was not as loyal as a dog. Without the restrictions of a contract, it was an extremely dangerous existence that could devour its owner at any time! Furthermore, this was a Level-3 spiritual beast! If it went crazy, it would be hard to find anyone, even in the whole of Syr Town, who could control it!

“It originally had a master, but was abandoned. Then, it started following me and has lasted until now. It obeyed my orders, so you can be rest assured,” Adrian explained.

At that moment, when Charles saw Richard’s terrified expression, he couldn’t help but want to take revenge on him. He immediately mocked, “Richard, why are you so timid? How can you be so afraid of a mere Level-3 spiritual beast? How are you going to achieve great things in the future?”

Richard’s face was filled with vexation upon hearing this. He ridiculed Charles in return, “Since you’re so brave, then go and touch its scales if you have the ability to do so! If you dare to do this, then I’ll concede to you!”

“Alright! I’ll do it for you to see!” Charles had spent many days with the Fire Demon Lizard and had fed it a lot of food. Hence, he felt confident about this.

However, after taking a few steps, Charles looked at the massive and lazy face of the Fire Demon Lizard. He suddenly felt somewhat afraid. This fellow wouldn’t bite him, right?

However, after hearing Richard urging him, Charles could only brace himself and walk forward. Then, he leaned over and gently touched the Fire Demon Lizard’s sturdy abdomen. Immediately after, he hurriedly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted. He panicked and moved away from this terrifying spiritual beast while flashing a look of fear.

“Aren’t you afraid too?” Richard scoffed.

Charles said stubbornly, “I’m much braver than some people who don’t even dare to touch it!”
