Matt swore to the heavens that he had never tasted such a delicious breakfast since he was born

Although it was just ordinary white bread, beef, and vegetable soup placed on an old wooden table But coo, the ht noas almost comparable to the sureat Holy Spirit, thank the Holy Spirit for giving us food…”

This was maybe one of the most earnest prayers before ratitude, suddenly a voice called out to him

“I did not expect that you were a believer”

Matt quickly opened his eyes He saw Rhode and Lize walking down the stairs and sat in front of him His face was still as indifferent as before He not could tell if Rhode was being sarcastic or not Thus, the fat merchant could only show an eratitude towards food There is no relation between being a believer or not…”

His voice slowly drifted off It was obvious that the fattopic, so he quickly changed the topic

“What are you guys planning to do after this?”

However, Rhode did not answer immediately He ordered two breakfast and asked a question out of nowhere, “How about you, Mr Matt?”

“Me?”

Matt was caught slightly off guard, and he glooo to the Deep Stone City to apologize to the recipient Then I h, what lousy luck! Not only did I lose all the goods, but I also need to pay a large suood…”

“So sorry…”

Lize revealed an apologetic face After all, herthe oods But now the products had been lost It could be said that they did not do a good job Although to many people, these matters would be labeled as ‘just an accident’ But as a responsible person, Lize did not want to accept it like that

“No no no! It’s not your fault, Ms Lize I am also at fault”

Perhaps it was because he had returned to the safety of civilization, Matt subconsciously revealed hiswould happen, I would never have done it Sigh, but now it’s already too late It was thanks to both of you that I can sit here and not become the dinner of those terrible beasts in the forest”

He stopped talking and showed a rare sincere smile He reached out his hand and took out two purses

“This is the reward for both of you Ms Lize, thank you for saving my life for several times If it was not because of you, I a in front of you now”

“No no no This is what I am supposed to do After all, we have taken yourat the purse, Lize hurriedly stood up and shook her head vigorously But Matt was an old slippery fellow He did not wait for Lize to finish her sentence Then, he turned around and look at Rhode

“Mr Rhode, especially you… Frankly, if not because of you, the both of us would not be able to escape froh noble like you, this aht not ratitude”

“You don’t have to be so polite, Mr Matt”

Rhode looked at the purse but did not reach out and take it

“You have also saved my life If you did not order to stop the boat, I a inside a beast stomach So about the money… I think you can take it back”

“This…”

Matt felt a bit aard It was alright if it was just Lize But against Rhode, he could not merely wave it away In fact, this ratitude Instead, he wanted to increase their relationshi+p with each other Even though Matt wanted Rhode to accept, but he did not dare to force hiht cause Rhode to be dissatisfied with him As a merchant, he had dealt with a lot of nobles before, so he knew that nobles truly regarded their reputation, dignity, and position – especially the very talented young ones Their self-esteeh and some of them were even eccentric Thus, he did not dare to force him like what he did to Lize He revealed an ee

“Since Mr Rhode said so, then I will no longer force you But I hope you accept this badge This is a keepsake frouild is not powerful in the Dragon Soul Continent But it can be considered quite prominent If you need my help in the future, please do tell me and I will do ood intention In fact, he had been waiting for it

Rhode understood how these merchants usually think In their opinion,their own life The reason he took out the race But he knew that after he took the rounds

This was not what Rhode wanted to achieve He had his own goal, and to accooal, he would need soe organization But since it was a uild, it had important information between the trade network that Rhode could not acquire by hi for a moment, it wasto hiht now

Matt, of course, did not think that Rhode would think like this His mind was filled with the preconceived notion that Rhode was a high noble with a strong fa For people like Rhode, ould he even try to curry favor with a small fry like him? It was Matt that should try to curry favor with Rhode instead

This was a beautiful

Of course, Rhode did notcontinue
