When does a person get angrier?

Is it when they get hit by a strong straight or when they are hit five or six times by annoying jabs?

It is, of course, the latter.

Cale threw five jabs before he was hit. Which means, one jab should be okay.

"Are you heading out?"

"Yes."

There were not many people left in the tea shop.

It was past 9pm. This was the time when there were more people in the bars than tea shops. Since this was the time that the people mining in the pits went to drink, the bar should be full of people.

"I look forward to your next visit, young master."

Cale nodded his head at Billos's statement.

"The tea was great."

Cale shared his observations with Billos.

"And the book was good even though I only got through half of it. I especially liked the main character whose abilities are appreciated and the way he grows."

In that instant, the corner of Billos's eyebrows frowned for a moment before returning to normal. His eyes were cloudy as he observed Cale.

However, Cale did not notice, as he was trying to remember the contents of the book. He was too worried about Choi Han that he did not pay too much attention to it.

However, it was still fun to read while having this sense of urgency in his heart.

It might be an auto-setting from possessing the original Cale's body, but Cale was able to understand the language of this world, and had no issues reading and enjoying the book.

"He likes to read, huh?" Archie scrunches his nose.

"Well, considering he came here after falling asleep reading a novel, I thought that was self-explanatory." Paseton mildly comments.

"Still, I have to wonder about the mechanics involved in this "auto-setting" thing, though." Witira ponders out loud.

-

A smile formed on Cale's face as he continued to speak to Billos, who was standing there with a blank expression on his face.

"Don't let anyone else read that book, so that I can read it whenever I come."

This truly was the immature son of the Count, who was trying to monopolize someone else's property. Billos, the bastard son of a wealthy merchant guild might not like it, but what could he do? Cale was the son of the Count.

"Yes! I will reserve this book only for young master Cale!"

However, Billos's response was different from what Cale expected. Billos smiled brightly as he urged Cale to come back soon.
