Chapter 48: Monster Attack on the Town!

"Hey, what's gotten into Bors?"

"What do you mean?"

"Being so generous, offering drinks to the boy. Usually, he'd con people into buying him a drink. What's the deal today?"

"Do you know the guy he's treating?"

"You're talking about the boy? What's his background?"

Looking over at Ethan, who was drinking with Bors, they remained full of questions.

But it seemed like the other party had seen through Bors's intentions.

"That guy is not just any ordinary adventurer."

"Then who is he?"

"You know about the buzz recently, about the pretty boy kept by the goddess of beauty?"

"Yeah, wait, you mean..."

The guy's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked over at Ethan once again.

Being kept by goddess Freya was something beyond the dreams of all male adventurers in Orario.

After all, she's the goddess of beauty, and she is in charge of Orario's strongest familia.

What does a man live for if not for 'money', 'beauty', and 'power'?

Becoming raised by such an awesome goddess, would he ever lack money?

Moreover, relying on Freya familia's influence, even if his strength was lacking, everyone would be hesitant to offend him unnecessarily.

All the goals people strive for in life, this guy just got them like that.

Now, who could they complain to? Life, more often than not, is simply unfair.

"So you're saying, Bors is trying to get on his good side?"

"After all, people from Freya Familia are all tough and crazy, and they look down on others. Bors couldn't even get close to them, but this guy is much more approachable compared to those psychopaths."

"Now that I'm thinking about it, that's right~"

Watching the two getting along well, the others nodded.

If Bors could establish a connection with the Freya Familia, the potential gains would far outweigh the cost of a few cheap drinks.

And the name of Freya Familia itself is a deterrent in Orario.

On this side, Ethan, seeing how Bors was 'introducing' Rivira to him, also had some guesses.

In this way, after three rounds of drinking, Bors was starting to feel dizzy, but Ethan remained unfazed.

To the current Ethan, as long as he didn't want to get drunk, any alcohol was like spring water to him. After all, being drunk was also considered a 'negative effect'.

"Brother, I'm really happy to meet you today."

Bors, his face red and speech slurred, was clearly drunk.

"I'm also happy that someone treated me to a drink just after arriving in this town," Ethan expressed his opinion.

"A drink's nothing! From now on in Rivira, brother, consider me your friend. Any expenses, they're on me," Bors winked, subtly reinforcing his goal of befriending Ethan.

"Thank you, but I can't accept that. I wouldn't feel right taking rewards I haven't earned. Even if you're the boss, it wouldn't be fair to your men," Ethan said firmly.
