"Young Lady, you've gone too far!"
"That’s right. I'm also a fan of Junior Alchemy Master. But his carriage really almost hit someone!"
"That's a human life! How could you not care at all?"
"The people who were in danger weren't her family, of course she wouldn't."
Hearing these doubts, Zoella's beautiful face grew darker and a hint of anger appeared, "Was I wrong? I was just speaking the truth, at first--"
At this moment, Junior Alchemy Master, Mattham reached out his hand and stopped Zoella's words.
Then he walked over to the mother and daughter with a smile on his face and said gently, "I apologize. It's because of my carelessness that I almost hit you both, I should apologize to you."
After that, Mattham bowed to the mother and daughter in front of everyone.
The scene turned into an uproar.
The mother and daughter were obviously shocked as well. They stood there in a daze and did not know how to react.
Mattham took out a yellow card from his pocket and handed it to the mother while saying, "I'm sorry, this card has 100,000 yuan stones inside. You could get it out when you enter Wood Fragrance Trading. Please accept it."
"100,000 yuan stones!"
When the mother heard that number, she was extremely shocked. She quickly waved her hands and said, "That, that's too much. I cannot accept it. Please take it back."
"We're fine, we don't want it."
However, Mattham kept on insisting with a smile, "I was at fault. It's only right for me to compensate for it."
"If you don't accept it, it means that you wouldn't forgive me. I would have to keep on apologizing then."
"Ah, that... I__ I don't mean that..." The mother didn't know how to explain.
At that moment, Mattham smiled and stuffed the card into her mother's hand, saying, "Since you didn't mean that, you should accept it then."
"Ah, I..." Her mother held the card and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Chiang. Thank you very much."
Mattham waved his hand gently and turned around with a smile.
Halfway through, he saw Zoella, who was waiting by the side. He then smiled and said, "Miss Liang, if you don't mind, you can take my carriage and we can enter the city together."
"Really? That's great. I don't mind, of course I wouldn't mind." Zoella got onto the carriage joyfully.
Then, the servant drove the carriage into Wood Fragrance City through the main gates.
Inside the carriage, Zoella looked at Mattham, who was sitting next to her, with a joyous face. Her cheeks were ruddy and she said, "Mr. Chiang, you weren't in the wrong earlier. Why did you have to apologize to those peasants?"
Mattham glanced at Zoella and said with a chuckle, "The people talk. If I didn't do so, I cannot guarantee what would people say about it.
"Hrmph, what a bunch of gossiping fools." Zoella scolded.
Then, she said, "Mr. Chiang, it's fine if you just apologize. Why did you give them 100,000 yuan stones? Isn't it giving them too much?"
"100,000 yuan, is that a lot?" Mattham chuckled.
Zoella explained, "Of course it's a lot. The annual income of normal people in Wood Fragrance City is just around 30,000-40,000 yuan stones. 100,000 yuan stones would be 3 times their nett profit, so of course it's a lot."
Hearing this, Mattham narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's only right if it's a lot."
"Uh, this..." Zoella felt that Mattham's words had a different meaning. But she couldn't figure it out for the moment, so she didn't think about it anymore. Instead, she seized the opportunity to have a chat with the Junior Alchemy Master.
At this moment, at the city gates, the onlookers watched as the carriage of the Junior Alchemy Master left, and they started discussing about it.
"As expected of the Junior Alchemy Master. He's really kind-hearted!"
"The Junior Alchemy Master is indeed the hope of the Alchemist Association."
"The mother and daughter are so lucky. In this way, they not only got to talk to the Junior Alchemy Master, and they also got 100,000 yuan stones for doing nothing at all! That's not a small amount!”
Many people at the scene praised the Junior Alchemy Master for his kindness. Of course, there were also many people who had their focus on the card with 100,000 yuan stones in envy.
In fact, Fade could vaguely see a few people staring at the mother and daughter for a while, and they were quietly approaching them.
This situation caused Fade's expression to sink. He raised his head and glanced in the direction where the Junior Alchemy Master's carriage had left.
After the chaos, everyone began to queue up once again and continued to enter the city through the small gates on both sides.
At this moment, Fade suddenly walked to the mother and daughter and shouted loudly, "If I hadn't blocked the whip for you just now, the both of you would've been dead."
"Er—" The mother was stunned, and her face was full of gratitude. "My lord, thank you for saving my life."
Fade just snorted and said, "What is it? Are you going to just say one sentence as your token of gratitude?"
"Ah, this..The mother paused for a moment, and then she seemed to think of something. She touched the card in her hand and said to Fade, "My lord, when we enter the city later on. I'll retrieve the money and properly show my gratitude."
Fade laughed and said, "You don't have to bother to do so. I'll do it myself."
After that, Fade reached out and grabbed the card over.
"My lord, you, you..." The mother seemed a little anxious.
Fade said coldly, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant to give it up? Remember, if I hadn't helped you, you wouldn't have been able to keep your lives till now. How would you even get the money then?"
