Chapter 438 - Slum (2)

Auron was standing still for a few seconds. He didn't want to move rashly when everyone was looking at him with suspicious eyes.

He was afraid that the slum's residents would attack him. Of course, he was not scared to be killed. These slum's residents would not have that power to kill him. Moreover, he could simply kill them and avoid getting punished.

Yes, although the slum's residents resided inside the town, they were discriminated from the other residents. Nobody would mind for a slum's residents to be killed.

However, that was not the case for Auron. He didn't want to kill someone easily. Moreover, if they were on the same side and he still didn't know whether they were good or bad people. 

The eyes' of the residents were still focusing on Auron. When Auron was about to explain his presence, he sensed a movement behind him.

Auron glanced behind him. From the dark and narrow alley, Auron could see a silhouette coming in his direction.

It was a man silhouette. The silhouette was slowly approaching Auron, who was still at the entrance of the slums.

When the silhouette was closer to him, Auron could begin to see the outline. It was a man with the same height as Auron. The man was slim, and he wore a long black robe.

Auron could see the man was bringing something in his hands. On both of his hands, the man got a bag.

As the man coming closer to Auron, he also could see Auron. The man took the initiative to greet Auron, "Oh, hello! Are you lost here?"

The man could see that Auron was a newcomer in this town. Moreover, from Auron's expression, the man could deduce that Auron was not intending to come to this place. That was why the man asked whether Auron was lost or not.

The man released a kind vibe. Auron, who kept his alert on when the man was approaching him, began to loosen his guard. He could see that the man didn't have any bad intentions.

When the man was beside Auron, the slum's residents also loosened their tense atmosphere. Then, not long after, two kids from one of the slum's residents cheered and approached the man happily.

"What do you bring? Do you bring more food?" The kids happily asked the man as she seemed to know the man in front of her.

The kids began to touch the bag that the man had brought. The man giggled, "Hey, slow down. It will not run away."

The parents of the kids also approached the man and tried to apologize to the man because of his kids. However, they still glanced at Auron warily. They still didn't know about Auron's intention coming here.

The man raised his hand to calm the parents. Then, he looked at Auron and smiled before he looked back at the parents and said, "Here, take this! Distribute it properly. It should have enough for everyone!"

The parents' mood became brightened. Then, just as what the man had said, he walked away, calling everyone in the slum, and started to distribute the bread from the bag.

Meanwhile, Auron saw this occasion nodded his head. He was so touched that there was still a kind man like the man in front of him.

"Please forgive for their rudeness! They were very cautious against new faces." The man explained.

"I bet you have lost your way to come here. My name is Patrick. What is your name?" Patrick introduced himself.

Auron said his name. Then, he followed with a question, "Do you often doing this?"

What Auron means was clear. It was the act of giving food for the slum's residents.

Patrick nodded, "Once a day at this time of hours for the last two months."

"Ah, it has been two months. It was quite hard for the first time. The people here didn't believe me and even thought that I brought expired food." Patrick began reminiscent the first time he did this thing.

"Come. Let's talk while walking." Patrick asked Auron to follow him inside the slum. Auron could see people gathered to receive the food here. There were around 50 a.d.u.l.ts and about 25 kids here.

When Patrick and Auron arrived at the bread's distribution's place, the people gathered there immediately stopped what they were doing and smiled at Patrick. They also thanked Patrick wholeheartedly.

Seeing this scene, Auron began to see Patrick in a different light. Patrick brought Auron to one of the elders on the slum. Patrick bowed his body to the elder.

"Aiyoo... You don't have to bow. Quickly, stand up!" Seeing the bowing Patrick, the elder hurriedly told Patrick to stand up.

"Good day, elder. I have come here to tell a piece of good news."

"We've got some more slot for the kids. And, this time, it is two slots." Patrick said with an enthusiastic tone.

"Re... Really? Are you serious?" The elder smiled happily.

"Yes, I am serious! The organization that supported me is delighted with the two previous kids' performance. That was why they decided to give two more opportunities. One for a kid below 10 years old and the other one for a teenager. Please choose the appropriate people."

Meanwhile, the other residents who heard the news also cheered excitedly. The slot that Patrick had said was the education slots.

During these two months, Patrick had offered the slum's resident education opportunity twice. And, this was the third time.

At first, the parents were worried about the kids' safety. However, after Patrick listed the benefit they would get and how bright the future of the kid, they relented. Moreover, with Patrick's kindness, they had trusted him with their sons.

Two weeks after the first kid was sent, another opportunity came. Patrick brought back the first kid. The first kid excitedly testified that it was a fun process, and he learned a lot. The first kid showed off everything that he learned that even his parent didn't know.
