After helping the little beggar, Kang De’s mood improved greatly.

Then, he was persuaded back by Hong San.

“Master, let’s go.”

The Cathayan rambled, “After this gets out, all the beggars in the town will know about you. They might have to queue up to ask for money. If you’re still so generous, those townspeople will have to change into tattered clothes at home and ask you for money. At that time, it’ll be difficult to leave…”

Kang De did not believe it, but he also believed it.

Was there a need to pay attention to strategy when doing charity?

He did not mind that all the beggars in the town came to ask him for money. After all, his life experience was so strange that he was basically no longer interested in money.

However, if it was really as Hong San said… it was a little disgusting.

He should take it slow.

Facing the slightly cold wind, Kang De and Hong San slowly walked back to the Glory Sand Castle. As the servants bowed, he returned to the third floor of the main building and knocked on Tina’s door.

It was Head Maid Bedolla who opened the door.

“Her Highness has gone to visit Viscount Samuel with Sir Knight.”

Kang De was slightly disappointed. He chatted with the head maid for a moment before bidding farewell. He really did not have anything in common with this old and serious girl.

After returning to his room and chatting with Hong San, Kang De remained vigilant and controlled the direction of the topic. When the other party wanted to talk about Cathay, he would talk to him about his master.

“In fact, I’m very interested in your master.”

Kang De asked, “Where does he live now? If I’m free, I’ll visit.”

Hong San replied, “The last time I saw Master, he was still living…”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Hong San cleverly ran to open the door. When he saw the person, he immediately bent down.

The two children of Viscount Samuel, Hannah and Lynch.

The siblings bowed to Kang De. “Sorry to disturb you, Lord Kang De.”

Kang De stood up and returned the greeting. “Welcome.”

The two sides sat down. The girl looked at Hong San standing at the side with hesitation.

How sensible was Hong San? He said to Kang De, “Master, why don’t I leave first?”

Kang De nodded, so the Cathayan bowed to the three of them one by one and walked out.

There were only three people left in the room.

Hannah lowered her eyes. Her hair fell from her shoulders like soft silk. Her body gathered the shyness of a young girl and the elegance of a noble. Compared to Tina, she was a different kind of charm.

The girl wanted to say something but stopped.

On the other hand, Lynch was much bolder. The little boy sized up Kang De curiously and was not afraid of strangers at all.

Kang De waited for a moment and said directly, “Miss Hannah? I wonder…”

Hannah was still a little hesitant, not knowing how to speak. Lynch seemed to be unable to stand his sister’s dawdling and said directly, “Let me tell you. I’m here to apologize for that Nose Knight…”

Kang De was stunned, “Nose Knight?”

Lynch said seriously, “That’s right, Nose Knight. That guy is very arrogant. Apart from the few of us, he looks at everyone with his head raised arrogantly. Little did he know that in this way, others will see his big nostrils, so he gave him a nickname, Nose Knight…”

When Kang De heard this, he laughed, “This nickname seems to be very appropriate…”

Lynch clapped his hands and said, “Right? I think so too…”

“Lynch!”

Hannah shouted softly to stop her brother.

Lynch curled his lips and said, “What’s wrong? It’s not like you don’t know what Nose Knight is like. Every time, he’s the one who offends people everywhere. You follow behind him and secretly apologize for him. In my opinion…”

Hannah retorted, “He’s not a bad person by nature. I tried to persuade him too, and he’s changing, so…”

Lynch spread out his hands and said, “Don’t tell me. Tell the victim.”

When Hannah heard this, she returned to her senses and looked at Kang De apologetically. She said softly, “You’re right… Lord Kang De, I’m here to apologize to you. Knight Glenn was rude to you. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Lynch could not help but say, “It’s very strange, Sister. If you want Lord Kang De to forgive you, the Nose Knight should apologize. What’s the point of you apologizing for him? It feels like you used your beauty and weakness to force others to agree to forgive the Nose Knight. I don’t think this is true forgiveness…”

“…Lynch!”

Hannah blushed and pinched him.

Lynch cried out in pain.

Kang De looked at the siblings’ complaints and interaction and felt that it was interesting.

This boy was very interesting. He echoed her sister, especially speaking his mind for Kang De, making the entire situation harmonious.

Was this a noble? Viscount Samuel’s youngest son was quite impressive.

He did not mention forgiveness. Instead, he looked at Hannah and teased, “Miss Hannah, you’re so concerned about Knight Glenn. Could it be that…”

Hannah’s face flushed red as she danced around and said shyly, “No! No!”

She panicked for a moment, then calmed down. She looked at her toes and twisted her hands together. She whispered, “I… I only treat him as an older brother…”

Wow, an older brother.

Kang De glanced at the phone camera that was revealed in his chest pocket and smiled in satisfaction.

Next, he could ask about the knight’s attitude towards Hannah. If he liked her, he could give him a fatal blow…

—Miss Hannah, let me pass this card to him for you!

After taking the scene he wanted, he said seriously, “Miss Hannah, let me express my stand. Knight Glenn started the unhappy incident at the dock. I’m only fighting back, and he’s already apologized. This matter is over, and I won’t pursue it.”

“But…”

He said frankly, “I can tell you clearly that if he holds a grudge and such a thing happens again, I’ll counterattack even more fiercely. I won’t show mercy because of your visit today. Do you understand what I mean? Instead of advising me not to hold a grudge, why don’t you advise him to be careful with his words and actions from now on?”

“This…”

Hannah sighed. “I understand. Thank you for your patience and generosity.”

Lynch was indeed a smart little guy. He immediately changed the topic, “I heard that Lord Kang De went out to play? We came to look for you earlier. The servant said that you went out.”

Kang De explained briefly. With a thought, he talked about the little beggar.

“Ah… how pitiful.”

When Hannah heard about the little beggar’s family background, tears welled up in her eyes. “Mr. Kang De is really a kind person…”

Lynch also said softly, “My sister and I often go to help the people in town, but our pocket money is limited and we can’t help much. We asked Father for help, but he said that things are not that simple. Then, he said some principles that we don’t understand. He said that with the finances of the Glory Sand Viscounty, he can naturally support those beggars. However, what will the hardworking townspeople and farmers think? Moreover, what if the news spreads and the beggars around swarmed over? We won’t be able to afford it sooner or later. In short, there are many principles…”

Kang De pondered for a moment and said, “There’s a saying in my hometown. Instead of letting others eat fish, why don’t we hand him the method to catch fish so that he can earn his own living? Perhaps we can start from this…”

He looked at the siblings in front of him. “I have money and can think of ideas, but I can’t stay here for too long. If you’re willing to help…”

“Yes!” The siblings said in unison.

Hannah asked anxiously, “May I ask what’s the method?”

Kang De knocked his head. “I’m thinking about it, but I can’t think of a suitable method in my hurry… However, there must be. Don’t worry, there will definitely be a way.”

What a joke. He was a transmigrator.

—I am the proud owner of an entire district in another world!

More importantly, there were many, many web s on his phone!

His confident attitude infected the siblings.

Hannah said softly, “Then we’ll wait for good news from Lord Kang De. If there’s a way to help these poor people, we’ll definitely do our best.”

It had to be said that this topic had unknowingly pulled the three of them closer.

They chatted about many things.

They chatted about Glory Sand and Goethe. Lynch was at the age of curiosity. He asked around and asked about Cathay. He seemed to be very interested in the East.

Kang De was an Earthling after all. He was born in an era of information explosion and could be said to be knowledgeable. Not to mention anything else, in terms of vision and speech, he had to have enough information to baptize. In a backward world with limited information, such quality was even rarer.

Lynch and Hannah were fascinated by his speech. Not only did stars appear in Lynch’s eyes, but even Hannah looked impressed and listened carefully.

It could be said that they were chatting happily.

“In my opinion, everyone is so rude to Teacher Hong because Father let them. I always begged Father to give Teacher Hong to me as a servant, but he didn’t agree. If Teacher Hong is my servant, the people of the Glory Sand Castle definitely won’t dare to bully him…”

Lynch looked at Kang De and sighed, “I really want a Cathayan attendant…”

Hannah hurriedly hit Lynch. “Don’t say such a thing!”

Kang De shook his head and said, “It’s fine.”

If the Hong San he saw only worked under the viscount and was self-respecting, polite, and respected by others, he would not feel any discomfort.

Moreover, after today’s conversation, he discovered that Hong San’s personality… was a little indescribable.

At this point, it was about time. Hannah looked at the sky and pulled her brother up. “Sir Kang De, I’m really sorry to have taken the liberty to visit. It’s getting late. We have to go back and prepare because there will be a banquet tonight. I hope to see you and have a good chat with you…”

Lynch seemed to be a little reluctant, but he was dragged out by his sister.

When he reached the door, Lynch suddenly smiled at Kang De and said, “Mr. Kang De, my sister only treats Nose Knight as her brother. Therefore, do you want to consider my sister? She has a good personality and is not scheming. She won’t lie. She’s very good, other than often concocting some strange drinks for others to drink…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suffered Hannah’s punch. The girl blushed and said to Kang De, “Please don’t listen to his crazy words! This little brat has more thoughts than anyone else!”

Then, Kang De listened to the sound of Hannah dragging Lynch to the corridor and leaving. The girl’s red face, angry, and angry appearance appeared in his mind.

Hong San’s head poked out from the other side of the door.

He seemed to have been guarding here.

“Master…” The Cathayan asked, “Did you have a good chat?”

Kang De smiled. “Not bad. Viscount Samuel and his children are very interesting.”

“Is… is that so?”

Hong San revealed a forced smile and said softly, “Master, you should…”

Kang De was in a good mood. He glanced at him. “What’s wrong?”

The Cathayan hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. “No, nothing.”

He smiled and said, “There’s a banquet tonight. Master, do you want to prepare?”
