Chapter 1308: Reverberating Through Flame City

“Who’s this kid? How can he wear such luxurious clothes at such a young age? They seem to be made from gold. I wonder which large clan he comes from…”

“Gold is extremely heavy, but the boy’s clothes look soft, just like cloth. However, it shines even brighter than gold. You can tell that it’s made from something extremely valuable with just a glance…”

“This body is really cute. He’s white and chubby and his large eyes are filled with brightness. He really does make people want to spoil him. I want to have a child as cute as him in the future…”

The people on the street became fixated on him and their discussions shifted to him as the topic. The boy in golden clothes was as attention-catching as fireworks. That was how unique and dazzling he seemed.

There were even quite a few people who went up to the boy to ask him about things. They asked for his name while some people directly asked him about his background. There were even some people had started fawning over him, asking about his well-being. They all believed that the boy belonged to an important clan, so once they got on good terms with him, they could even gain success and rise through the ranks.

There were various people among them. Not only were there members of the Flame Mercenaries, there were mercenaries from other groups as well. There were also those who had come to join the Flame Mercenaries, those looking for work, as well as merchants, and so on.

Very soon, a great group of people had gathered around the boy and endlessly spoke to him. There were quite a few people who had come to watch as well.

The boy was like a child who had never seen the world before. He became stunned when he was surrounded by such a large crow, staring at them blankly. His eyes were filled with curiosity as well as some timidness.

“Kid, what’s your name…”

“Are you lost? Tell me where your home is. I’ll take you back…”

However, the boy said nothing no matter what the surrounding people asked. He just stood there in a daze as he blankly stared back at everyone. His face was filled with confusion.

A few sharper people immediately caught an inkling from the boy’s behaviour. They immediately guessed that the boy’s background was nowhere near as complicated as they had imagined, because all descendents of large clans would undergo extremely strict education from a young age or be spoiled by their seniors’ parents. They would possess a natural type of pride or supremacy and not behave in such a confused manner.

“Is there something wrong with this child? Has he been abandoned by his parents?” A person inquired. At that moment, the people around him became much quieter. Many people’s opinions of the boy underwent some minute changes.

At this moment, a fat, wealthy-looking, middle-aged man dressed as a merchant approached the boy with small, white clothes. He crouched down and said with a wide smile, “Child, I’ve been a merchant for several dozen years and my foresight is extremely great. I can tell with a single glance that the clothes on you are just far too ugly. They don’t suit you. Look, I just happen to have these beautiful clothes on me. I’ll give them to you. Come, let me take off your clothes and then you can wear this.”

The fat man quickly moved as he said that, taking the boy’s golden clothing off as quickly as he could. He then changed the boy into the white clothes that were also rather valuable.

The boy acted like he understood nothing. He did not resist, allowing the man to take off his clothes and change him into the white clothes that seemed even better. This was because he could sense that the fat man would not harm him, nor did he hold any hostile intent.

“You filthy merchant. You’re tricking a kid for his stuff…” Many people in the surroundings began to curse when they saw this. There were also a few people who sighed inside. They felt regretful over the fact that they did not act earlier. The boy’s clothes were clearly something extraordinary, but unfortunately, the merchant had taken them away first.

After getting the gold clothes, the fat man twisted them forcefully. As expected, they were as soft as embroidered cloth. They could not fade since they obviously had not been dyed. They were made from a material he had never seen before, and with his knowledge, he could immediately tell how extraordinary the material was. He immediately smiled complacently, disappearing into the crowd with the clothes.

A few burly men in the crowd looked at each other before leaving the crowd as well, tailing the fat man.
