“Alright,” the young man replied coldly. He dismounted. The lightning leopard stood obediently, not daring to move an inch.

“If I may, what is your name, benefactor?” The middle aged man smiled in a polite manner.

“Clei,” Claire instantly responded. Indeed, it would be nice if others set up the tent and prepared dinner. Preparing things by herself was usually a hassle.

The middle aged man introduced everyone. “I am Bren. These are my guards. Inside the carriage are my daughters, my oldest daughter, Jessica, and my youngest daughter, Mayla. We were on our way to see relatives, until we ran into this magic beast.”

“Oh,” Claire replied indifferently, not wasting any breath.

Bren did not mind. In his experience, all powerful experts had this kind of personality. However, judging by the sound of his voice and his stature, the young man was very young. Being so powerful at such a young age was very rare. This kind of talent might even surpass that of his gifted son’s.

While some guards started treating their wounds, others started setting up the tents. For a while now, the two girls had been peering out the carriage window. They now walked out to thank Claire. Claire only gave a slight nod. She did not want to become too involved with them. Tomorrow morning, as soon as the sun rose, she was going to leave on her mount. The middle aged man was no ordinary person. He had a faint aura of nobility, not someone she wanted to become involved with.

The two girls kept on staring at Claire, wanting to see her face, but unable to. She emitted a cold aura and never spoke more than she had to, distant and aloof. The two girls were too shy to approach her.

A fire was lit, driving away the cold.

Bren gave Claire roasted meat and sweet wine. Claire accepted, only uttering one word of thanks.

Bren sat down next to Claire. “Benefactor, where are you going?” he asked cautiously.

“The capital of Lagark,” Claire replied simply as she ate.

Delighted, Bren asked hurriedly, “We are heading there too. If possible, can benefactor travel with us?”

Claire frowned slightly. Just when she was about to refuse, Bren added, “Traveling alone is inconvenient. I also know a shortcut to the capital.”

Claire nodded. “Fine.”

Bren let out a sigh of relief in his heart. In the end, he was able to convince the powerful young man to accompany them. What he said had indeed convinced Claire. It was not that Claire did not have tents and the like, but that she did not want to set them up herself. Afterall, she had everything in her storage ring.   

After dinner, the tents were already pitched. Without a word, Claire dove in and slept.

“Father, that person is so impolite. He didn’t even say good night.” The elder daughter, Jessica, frowned with annoyance.

“All powerful people are this way.” Bren patted her head, smiling.

“Is elder brother also that strange?” Mayla asked, also frowning.
