Chapter 439 - Slum (3) (1/2)
Auron looked at this exciting atmosphere. He knew for these people, a chance for education was what they hoped for their next generation. If their children could get an education, they hoped that their children would bring their families out of poverty.
The elder calmed down the mass. Smiling, he began to gather the resident to determine whose child would be sent next.
Meanwhile, Patrick moved closer to Auron with a smile on his face. ”Isn't it exciting to see these people happy?”
Auron didn't answer and just nodded.
”Oh, I am distracted. You haven't answered my first question yet. So, what are you doing here?” Patrick asked the question again.
Auron began to explain how he could come to this slum area. Of course, he would not explain he was on a secret mission.
Auron told Patrick that he was a newcomer in this town today. He had just moved and want to know more about this town, so he scoured the area. He was from the potion shop closed to the alley when he noticed a passage that leads here.
”I see. Are you alone?” Patrick asked Auron once again.
”Nope. I moved here with my wife.”
”Where is your wife?”
Auron answered that his 'wife', Alice, was shopping while looking for a permanent residence. When Patrick heard that, he exclaimed, ”Wow, you must be such a loving husband. You must have a decent job to come here.”
”Not much,” Auron answered.
”Do you want to join my organization in helping these kinds of people?” Patrick asked.
However, Auron immediately shooked his head and refused, ”Sorry, but this is not my call.”
”No problem, everyone had their own circ.u.mstances. But you would accept my invitation to my house tomorrow, right?”
Auron pondered for a second and said, ”It will be my pleasure. Surely, I will come.”
”That's great! Here is my address, bring your wife along. Looks like they had finish deciding! Let me take a look.”
Patrick approached the coming elder and began a serious conversation. Meanwhile, Auron stood still and watched them from far away.
The conversation didn't last long until Patrick went back to Auron and said, ”Well, that's it! I will leave now. Do you have something to do here?”
Auron shooked his head. Of course, he had nothing to do since everything was a coincidence. He also intended to leave the area. With that, Auron and Patrick bade farewell to the slum's residence and took the alley once more.
