11.Father

Geren pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling, "This is the cutlery of our hometown, I'll demonstrate it to you."

With that, he skillfully picked up a piece of fried meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth to chew.

Leila and Bonnie exchanged glances, both of them had a strong color of novelty in their eyes.

They followed Glenn's gestures and tried clumsily, perhaps finding the knack, the two were actually able to clip the dish very quickly, which made Glenn very surprised.

Originally, he had already prepared to get forks and spoons.

Letting them try the chopsticks first was just a matter of interest, but now it seemed unnecessary.

When the first bite of the dish entered her mouth, Leila couldn't help but squint her eyes, the flavor was intoxicating, not to the point of losing her mind, but enough for her to enjoy.

Bonnie didn't need to be told, perhaps it was her rotten nature, she didn't mince words of praise from her mouth.

"Oh! That flavor! Wonderful!"

These words made Glenn's heart so indescribably pleased that he could barely maintain the calmness on his face.

"You guys are still students, right? Are you on vacation today?" Glenn casually said as he chucked in his food.

"Yes sir, Bonnie and I are both students of Mace Academy, today is indeed a holiday, but we have to go to school tomorrow." Although Leila would love to indulge in the delicious food like Bonnie, she was a polite girl, so she took the time to answer Glenn's question.

"Oh~" Glenn nodded slowly before asking, "Can I ask by the way, is there magic in your subjects?"

Upon hearing this question, Leila, on the other hand, gave him an odd look, and even Bonnie raised her bulging little face with the same look.

"To learn magic you have to go to the magic tower and find a specialized tutor, the academy doesn't have it, but there are some related basic common sense involved."

Leila explained in a soft voice.

"Eh ... I don't know much about that." Glenn's expression snapped.

"So that's how it is." Leila also did not pursue the question.

This was not to blame Ge Lun, there was really no knowledge in this area in the original owner's memory.

The original owner hadn't gone to school for a few years at all, and the knowledge he possessed was equivalent to graduating from elementary school on Earth, as a rich second generation, of course, he used his father's wealth to spend as much as he wanted, who would choose to go to school?

This also led to his lack of understanding of many common sense.

Soon, the three of them were full, Glenn originally had a large meal, so he prepared a large amount, only needing him to eat less, the rest was enough to entertain the guests.

During the meal, the three of them casually talk to make the distance between them much closer, the two little girls also gradually let go, showing their original lively side.

And Geren was not as readily stern-faced as he was in the beginning, occasionally cracking some jokes could also cause the girls to laugh.

"Mr. Glenn's lunch is really delicious, if I could taste it every day, I would do anything." Bonnie muttered contentedly as she patted her stomach.

"Who would want to cook for a glutton like you? If you did, you'd be eating him out of house and home sooner or later that way." Leila teased at the right time.

"I'd certainly be happy to let you sample more dishes, but you'd have to be brave enough to come." Glenn chimed in.

Bonnie scowled when she thought about the weird atmosphere of this town, "Better not ..."

Seeing this naive appearance of the little girl, both Glenn and Leila couldn't help but laugh.

After Gren put away the dishes, Leila added in that somewhat apologetic tone, "What a less than perfect visit, my thank you gift doesn't seem to be able to cover this lunch, my mother would definitely blame me if she knew."

The basket Leila carried was some fruits and vegetables and bread and the like, there was no meat, and in this day and age, the value of meat was very high, which is why Leila said such a thing.

"Expressing gratitude doesn't need to be pinned on the preciousness of the gift, letting me feel your sincerity is enough." Glenn said what was in his heart, he quite liked this little girl with a good character, it was considered the first friend he made in this world.

Leila was however touched by his words.

These words on Earth were plain and simple, and could be said with a little knowledge of the human world, but here, they sounded very thought-provoking.

"I will keep your words in my heart." Leila's expression was solemn.

"Me too." Bonnie was equally touched and agreed.

The three of them chatted casually for a few more minutes, and the two little girls asked about the town from time to time, but these Glenn himself didn't know much about, so he could only tell the truth.

Finally, Glenn could see that they wanted to leave, so he took the initiative to see them off.

"Well, this place is not too close to your home, it would be bad if it gets dark halfway, hurry up and go home, don't let your family worry too much."

Leila and Bonnie also understood that Glenn's words were reasonable, so they politely said goodbye.

After sending the two girls away, Geren secretly gave the Beast instructions to protect the two girls, while he had already decided on a way to get money and was ready to implement it.

...

"Mr. Glenn is a very interesting man, perhaps we can socialize with him more in the future."

Leila said as she walked down the quiet dirt road.

"I think so too, but, Layla, I still don't think it's safe here, it's better to be with friends." Bonnie nodded in agreement and suggested again.

"Well ...," Leila thought for a few seconds and resumed smiling, "Would you like to accompany me then?"

Bonnie rolled her eyes, "You should find a strong boy, me and you don't add up to safe sex!"

"Polk? No, he's got less guts than you." Leila couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the slightly chubby redheaded boy cringing here.

Bonnie sniffed a little defiantly, "I'm not chicken!"

Thinking of Polk again, she wondered, "Didn't that guy yell about becoming a knight every day? How could he be timid?"

"That's just that you don't know him ...," Leila seemed about to blurt out some embarrassing story about Poke, but was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Thank goodness, Leila, I've been waiting here for you for a long time, and I'm glad you're okay."

A short, middle-aged man with a dark brown beard walked from the front, followed by two rugged, burly men a head taller.

Leila froze when she saw the man, her tone slightly surprised, "Dad ..."

The visitor was none other than Leila's father, Bob.

Bonnie looked at the visitor and then at Leila, not knowing what to say.

"My child, you don't know how worried I was when I found out you were here, it's dangerous! Come on, come with Daddy, I'll take you back." Bob smiled kindly and beckoned.

However, the two men behind him kept their faces cold, making the two girls very uneasy.

"No, I don't want to go back with you! You almost killed mom!" Leila's tone was resolute as she remembered her mother's tragic death at the clinic, and her anger flared up.

Bob's eyelids twitched and his expression stiffened slightly, but he quickly defended himself helplessly, "My dear child, it was just an accident, I was drunk at the time, and your mother was at fault, she should have given me the money or that wouldn't have happened."

"Well Bob, we don't have time for your father-daughter bonding, let's get right to it!"

A burly man behind Bob impatiently interrupted the conversation and stepped right up, trying to grab the two girls.

Seeing that the comer was not up to no good, the two girls were also scared and turned around, wanting to run.

But the two little girls obviously couldn't outrun the adult strong man, just before they stepped forward, two big hands grabbed their shoulders on one side.

A strong force came, Leila and Bonnie were pulled down to the ground, trying to get up and struggle, but the two strong men had already deadlocked and dragged them towards the way they came.

"Let go of us! You bastards!"

The two girls yelled.

"You guys be a little gentle, those are my daughters after all." Bob shouted in a small voice.

"Daughter? Oh ... not since you sold her to the boss."
