Only then did the crowd react. Puzzlement, shock, and surprise were written on their faces. It seemed that this man was truly a Woods.
"Ah, he's the heir of the family head?"
Moon gasped as she said, her eyes were widened as large as saucers and her lips parted widely. After a few seconds, when realization dawned upon her, she kneeled down before Fane and said, "Thank you for saving our lives, Young Master Fane! If it weren't for you, my Mama and I would be..."
"Yes! Thank you so much, Young Master Fane!"
The middle-aged woman plopped onto the ground on her knees. Her eyes swam with tears and her voice trembled. "We’ve not
met the Young Master from the main Woods family, so we thought that you're not from the Woods family. We've misconceived your identity, Sir! Please forgive us!”
"Please get up. How can I blame you when I know it's all a misunderstanding? Surely I'll forgive you!"
Fane approached the duo, flipped his palm, and two healing pills appeared in his hand. He handed the pills to the duo and said," Both of you, take one of these each. Hurry u p and swallow it. It's for your injuries."
"This...L.how can we accept such a treasure from you, Young Master Fane!"
Moon lowered her head, somewhat embarrassed at her behavior toward Fane a moment ago. She thought that Fane was no different from the group earlier, that he was here to take advantage of them. What made her more embarrassed was that Fane did not only forgive them but also offered them healing pills for their injuries.
"She's right, Young Master Fane. We don't deserve it. You saved our lives; we don't even know how to repay you for your great kindness!"
The middle-aged woman panicked and quickly rejected Fane's kindness toward them. She was somewhat flattered at his kind gesture.
Fane was slightly puzzled at their behaviors. In the past, when the Third Elder and his men came over to collect martial resources and offerings from the branch families, they must have shown themselves in a high and almighty position. Even worse, they could bully these people from the branch families.
Due to that, the people of the branch families, each of them was obsequious when they met the people of the main family.
