Chapter 86 'Handsome Wolf'

Alex left Elisa's manor under the company of a maid.

When he got outside, there was already a carriage waiting for him.

It was also something that Elisa ordered, to bring Alex outside the noble district.

Since Elisa's manor is quite deep inside the noble district, going back to the common district would be quite a hassle if Alex walked there.

At least, that's what Elisa thought.

Looking at the carriage in front of him, Alex sighed, "Miss Elisa is quite considerate, huh."

Alex shrugged and stepped into the carriage.

Once Alex settled down inside, the coachman started urging the horses to move.

"Haiyah!"

Tugudug! Tugudug! Tugudug!

The carriage was pulled by the horses and started moving, heading out of the noble district.

Inside the carriage, Alex closed his eyes and 'touched' his connection with Ferri in his heart.

"Hmm, good, he's still at the Trial Tower."

After confirming Ferri's location, Alex opened his eyes and told the coachman to head to the Trial Tower.

"Hello, please drop me near the Trial Tower."

"Understood, sir."

The coachman acknowledged and continued driving steadily.

Alex closed his eyes again and patiently waited inside the carriage.

After a while, the carriage stopped and the coachman said, "Sir, we have arrived at the Trial Tower."

Alex opened his eyes and stepped out of the carriage.

Then he looked at the coachman with a smile and said, "Thank you for bringing me here."

"Please be careful on your way back."

Feeling Alex's politeness, the coachman smiled back.

"Yes, sir, thank you."

The carriage turned around and slowly drove away.

After the carriage left, Alex followed the connection with Ferri.

Not long after, Alex finally found Ferri near the Trial Tower lying down on the ground, looking a little lazy.

However, Alex also saw a lot of people gathering around Ferri for some reason.

Seeing that, Alex raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, what's happening over there?" He curiously muttered.

Alex walked closer and saw that people seemed to find Ferri handsome, that's why they approached him.

And in their hands, they were holding a card that looked like a card.

"Hey, take a photo of me close to him."

"1, 2, 3, say cheese!"

"Me too, me too!"

"I want to get a photo with him too because he looks so cool!"

…

Those people around Ferri vary in age.

There are some who's already adults while there are also a few kids around with their parents.

Alex looked at Ferri who's just lying there but somehow turned into an attraction and found it a little funny.

With a smile on his face, Alex went near Ferri but out of nowhere, he was stopped by a small girl wearing dirty tattered clothes.

"Hey, mister, don't skip in line!"

The little girl said.

Alex turned his eyes to her and tilted his head, asking, "Why?"

The girl showed her palm to him and said, "You have to pay first and line up if you want to go closer to the 'Handsome Wolf'!"

Hearing that stupid sounding name, Alex paused and took a second look at the girl.

She looks to be around 9 to 11 years old.

However, for her age, she looks a bit too small and skinny.

Alex wasn't surprised that she's suffering from malnutrition.

Because just from her clothes, he can already guess the life that this little girl has.

While he was observing the girl, a few more kids approached, asking her, "Sister, sister, is there a problem here?"

3 kids in total approached the first kid, all of them wearing dirty and tattered clothes.

The girl answered the kid's question and said, "No, I'm just asking the mister here to pay us. After I get it, we will go buy some food, okay?"

The three kids nodded, "Okay, sister."

Watching them, Alex can't help but think back to those days where he was alone, trying to look for something to feed himself.

The little girl who seems to be the eldest of the four turned her eyes back to Alex and urge him again.

"Mister, please pay already so that you can line up."

Pointing at those people holding a glass card near Ferri, she said, "Look, if you pay, you can also take a photo with it as well if you have a [Photo Card]."

Alex thought about it for a second before shaking his head.

He said, "No, I won't pay you."

After saying that, he continued walking towards Ferri.

But he paused and said, "Wait for me here."

Before continuing moving forward.

"Wha!? Why won't you just pay?"

Complained the girl but Alex ignored her.

At this time, the people gathering near Ferri also noticed Alex and frowned.

"Hey, you have to-"

They were about to interrupted by Alex.

Looking at Ferri, Alex called, "Ferri, come here."

Raising his head, Ferri looked at Alex and his eyes immediately brightened.

He hurriedly stood up which caused a little panic among the people around and rushed to Alex.

"Woof!"

Ferri's next action surprised the people around.

He stopped in front of Alex and lowered his head.

Then Alex raised his hand and started rubbing Ferri's fur gently.

Like a dog, Ferri wagged his tail left and right, showing the excitement he was feeling.

One of the onlookers can't help but say,

"What? He can actually act cute like that?"

It's because the difference was so big!

Earlier, Ferri was acting so cold, indifferent to their presence and treated them like air.

But now, when an unknown man came, it immediately started acting 'coy', rubbing close to him.

Not far away, the girl along with her smaller siblings watched the interaction between Alex and the 'Handsome Wolf'.

One of the smaller kids said, "Sister, sister, look, handsome wolf and playing with that brother!"

However, the girl didn't respond so he turned to look at her sister, "Sister?"

At this time, the girl's face had already turned pale.

In a small shaky voice, she muttered,

"I-is he the master of that wolf?"
