The group exited the small alleyway and hadn't taken many steps when suddenly a man rushed out, blocking their way. He raised his hands above his head and forcefuly kowtowed on the ground.
"Is he...begging?" Negris was stunned.
This was the first time that Ange and his companions were being begged to for alms, something they had never experienced before. As such, they were taken aback and didn't know how to respond.
Instead, Silver Coin, acting as if he had just found a treasure, urgently pulled the beggar to a corner. The rest of Ange's group quickly followed suit and surrounded them.
The beggar was confused. What was happening? He regarded everyone with caution and slowly raised his hands in defense.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. What's your name?" Silver Coin asked kindly, as he asked Ji Li for some small flatbreads. Among the crowd, only Ji Li needed to eat.
