Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 58: Give Me That Sword!
Chapter 58: Give Me That Sword!
Two teenagers around fifteen years old were walking in the alleyway.
The boy was holding a sword while the girl was grabbing the hem of the boy’s T-shirt and skimming their surroundings with a worried face.
They almost got kidnapped by an evil organization several minutes ago, so the girl was still terrified, especially when she remembered how they killed the caretakers mercilessly.
"Don’t worry. We are safe now." Ren, who noticed Scarlett’s frightened expression, tried to calm her down.
But even so, his words could not calm her down completely.
She was still a kid, and it was her first time in a dangerous situation, so she could not control her emotions well.
"Ren, where are we going to live now?" Scarlett inquired.
"Let’s find an abandoned house or factory." They had no money, so he could not take her to a hotel or inn.
"Un." She nodded her head without complaining.
The duo then looked for an abandoned house or factory.
However, the goddess of luck was not on their side.
They had been looking for an abandoned house or factory for five hours, yet they still could not find it.
"Ren, I’m hungry." She had not eaten anything since last night because the Dusk organization attacked their orphanage before breakfast time.
"Then let’s go to the market and ask for food there." He took her to the market because there were many shops and people there.
’I hope we will find kind people later.’
He added in his head.
Right after they arrived at the market, they were greeted by the aroma of delicious food and the chatter between the buyers and sellers.
The market was very long, and there were countless shops of different sizes located within.
Ren and Scarlett became even hungrier after arriving at the market because the aroma of delicious food wafted into their noses.
"Let’s try asking for food." Ren uttered.
"Un." Scarlett nodded her head.
The duo headed to the steamed bun shop on the side of the road.
The mature man smiled professionally when Ren and Scarlett stood in front of his shop.
Their attires were not dirty like beggars’ clothes, so the mature man thought they had money to buy his steamed buns.
"I have two variants of steamed buns: one filled with chicken and one filled with green beans. Which one do you want?" the mature man asked, "Don’t worry. My steamed bun is cheap. It’s only six copper coins."
The transaction in the illusion world was the same as in the real world.
Even the value of gold, silver, and copper coins were the same. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Everything was the same because the illusion world was created by someone from the real world.
"Uncle, we don’t have money. Could you be so kind as to give us two steamed buns?" Ren inquired.
"Tch! So, you are a beggar, huh? Leave my shop now! You will only bring bad luck if you stay in my shop. Leave! Leave!" the mature man’s voice was no longer friendly.
He even did not hide his annoyed expression.
He did not care whether Ren and Scarlett were kids or not.
He would not give them his steamed buns because that meant he would lose twelve copper coins.
Ren and Scarlett headed to the next shop.
However, the response was the same.
Not only did they tell them to leave their shops immediately, they even said rude things and wore annoyed faces.
They hated beggars, so they looked at them in disgust when they knew that Ren and Scarlett had no money.
"Ren, I’m hungry." Scarlett felt dizzy because she was starving.
Ren stopped walking and skimmed his surroundings.
’That uncle seems nice. I will try asking for food.’
He saw a bread seller on the edge of the road.
Ren shifted his gaze from the mature man to Scarlett. "Scarlett, that uncle seems nice. Let’s try asking him for food."
"Un." She nodded her head.
After they were in front of the mature man, Ren spoke, "Uncle, can you give us two breads?"
"Sure." Theo thought Ren wanted to buy two loaves of bread at his shop, so he smiled as he responded, "It’s ten copper coins."
"Uncle, we don’t have money. Can you give it to us for free?" Ren inquired.
At this moment, Scarlett hoped the seller would give the loaves of bread for free because she was starving.
However, the world was cruel to people with no money.
Like the previous sellers, Theo’s expression changed completely when he knew they had no money.
Ren and Scarlett were strangers to him, so there was no way he would give them his bread for free.
No way in hell!
"Tch! Say from the start if you don’t have any money. You are only wasting my time. Leave! Leave!" Theo wore an annoyed face because he felt like he was being played by Ren.
"Scarlett, let’s ask for food in another place." Ren was also sad but he needed to stay strong because he needed to protect Scarlett.
"Un." Scarlett nodded her head.
When they were about to leave, Theo caught sight of Ren’s sword.
’A sword? Is that a real sword?’
Ren’s sword was beautiful and looked expensive, so a desire to take it suddenly arose within him.
"Wait!" Theo approached the duo.
Ren and Scarlett stopped their footsteps and turned around, facing Theo.
"Uncle, have you changed your mind and are willing to give us some breads?" Ren could not read Theo’s mind, so he did not know why Theo stopped them.
"Give me the sword in your hand." Theo went straight to the point.
"I’m not selling my sword." Ren needed his sword to protect himself and Scarlett, so he would never sell it, no matter what happened.
"Did I say I intended to buy your sword? I want your sword. Give it to me now!" Theo believed Ren’s word could be sold at a high price, so he wanted to take it from Ren.
"No." Ren refused without thinking twice.
Even though Theo was an adult, he was not afraid of him because he had faced an adult before.
Theo was furious when Ren refused to give his sword to him.
"I said give your sword to me!" Theo grabbed Ren’s sword, trying to snatch it.
"No!" Ren refused again.
At this moment, Scarlett was hiding behind Ren and wearing a terrified face.
She suddenly remembered the time when members of the Dusk organization killed the caretakers mercilessly.
Her body trembled continuously, and her legs turned frail.
Ren, who noticed Scarlett’s expression, gritted his teeth.
’Should I kill this old man?’
A desire to kill Theo arose within him because Theo’s actions scared Scarlett.
Theo, who could not snatch Ren’s sword, was annoyed.
"Kid, give me your sword now or else I will beat you to death!" Theo was not a martial artist like Ren, so his power was weaker than Ren’s.
Ren could not suppress his anger anymore.
He did not want Scarlett to continue feeling afraid, so he kicked Theo’s mid-torse hard.
Boom!
The sound of Theo crashing against his shop reverberated in the entire area.
"Cough...Cough..." Theo was even angrier when he was sent flying by Ren’s kick.
’Damn kid! How dare you attack me!’
He rose to his feet and stared at Ren angrily.
At the same time, everyone in the market looked at them.
The sound of him crashing against his shop reached their ears, so they wanted to know what was going on.
"What’s going on?"
"I don’t know."
"Theo tried to snatch that kid’s sword, but he was sent flying by the kid’s kick. Haha. It’s really funny, you know?"
"What?! Really?"
"So, it’s like that, huh?"
"Well, it’s Theo, so I’m not surprised by it. After all, he always does bad things to beggars."
"You are right. Haha."
"And the funniest thing is that his arrogant and haughty attitude disappears when his opponent is an adult like us. Haha."
"Well, what can you expect from a coward like him. Haha."
"Haha."
They did not help Theo or Ren.
They even did not try to stop them from fighting.
It was none of their business, so they only stared at them without doing anything.
Theo gritted his teeth in annoyance when everyone made fun of him.
"This kid stole my sword! I only want to take back my sword!" Theo lied to them.
"You are still the same, huh?"
"Lying as usual. Haha."
"Theo, do you think we are blind? That sword belongs to that kid, not yours."
"Theo, you need to think and see the situation before lying. Haha."
They knew the sword belonged to Ren because Ren always held his sword when he asked for food.
Theo looked at Ren angrily.
’Damn kid, I will beat you to death for making everyone laugh at me!’
