I Can Contract Beauties

Chapter 29: Questions And Feast

Hearing the question, Erika thought for a moment before a certain face popped-up on her mind. A visible frown surfaced on her face before she said, "Domen? I only know of one person named Domen. He's a distant cousin of mine from the main branch lineage. A very annoying one."

"How do you know him?" She added after a slight pause.

Miguel shook his head, "Nothing. I just heard of him from someone. Right, how's his strength?"

"Well, to be honest I truly do not know. All I know is that he is considered as the number one genius of all the Red Family combined. His Innate Skill is very useful in battle as he can augment his summon's level during a battle. Right, at the age of 21, he's already an Elite Summoner and can summon two Summons at the same time. He recently advanced his grimoire to Silver Grade as well. "

Miguel listened attentively to the information that Erika was giving him.

Domen was the person who secretly hired Jonas to kill the fool Miguel silently.

Miguel did not expect that the other party was actually considered a genius. And based on his rank and grimoire grade, it could be said that he was already on par with Marcel.

'Interesting. The main branch of the Red Family seems ferocious enough,' he thought to himself in amusement.

Speaking of the Red Family, Aaliyah was also a part of it. Miguel did not know the full details yet but she seemed to be an important figure in the history of the Red Family.

"Oh right, are you familiar with the name Aaliyah Red?" He asked.

Erika thought for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't know of anyone named Aaliyah."

"Who is she?" She added, a hint of curiosity present in her voice.

She felt great that she could finally talk with Miguel in a normal way. However, what she did not like was that Miguel was only asking for names of people, and the last name might even be a girl's name.

Miguel shrugged his shoulders and said with a chuckle, "No one. I just made it up."

"You can joke, huh." Erika responded with a smile.

"Right. I know that you just recently awakened so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. You might not know it but I'm actually on top of my class, hehe." She added.

"Okay, sure. When do we leave again for Blazing City again?"

"In three days at most. You must prepare a lot of luggage as it will take us around five days to arrive there if the journey is smooth. Don't worry though, the path is very safe and no Beast would pop up in random."

Miguel nodded his head and asked a few more questions that he was not able to ask Marcel. Most of them were just common knowledge questions and he did not raise extremely hard questions.

Erika was very kind and answered most of his questions without fail. She would also ask some questions and Miguel was able to answer all of them fluently, such as how he felt after 'waking up' from being a fool.

As they were chatting, time passed in the blink of an eye.

Unknowingly, the yak was already cooked by the neighbors with the supervision of Marcel. They did not make it too fancy and just grilled the fresh meat of the yak into large pieces. Of course, not all of them were cooked as the over 500 kilograms of meat was too much for everyone to eat. Some were processed and would be given to Sara. In the end, Marcel offered to buy the remaining meat at market price, earning Miguel over 500 Gold Coins in one go.

He handed all of it to Sara, but the latter declined and stated that she already has a lot of Gold Coins and that there was no need for her to have so many.

Miguel did not insist and instead, decided to hand the other servants 2 Gold Coins each after some deliberation.

One must note that even a single Gold Coin would already be equivalent to 4 to 5 months of work for the servant.

They felt extremely grateful for Miguel's generosity and some of them even thanked him with tears flowing down their eyes like rivers.

Miguel smiled to them kindly and told them that he would be away in a few days and that he wanted them to look out for his mom, in which, the servants responded positively. Some of them even joked that they would protect Sara with their life on the line.

After they settled down, Marcel went up in front of them and gave a little speech of encouragement. He also told them the origin of the yak, how Miguel willingly shared it to them even after knowing its true value and how the yak would be of great help for mortals to stay much healthier due to it being rich in nutrients multiple times better compared to normal animal meats.

As for the hare, it was handed to Sara as well. She could preserve it and cook it whenever she wanted.

The feast began right after Marcel's speech. Everyone enjoyed the meal, even Miguel could tell how much flavor the meat of the yak contained compared to normal animal meat.

It was already late in the night when the feast was finished.

Miguel saw Erika and Marcel off and came back to the servant quarters a while later with Sara sleeping peacefully on her bed.

Miguel smiled in satisfaction as he went to bed as well.

Early in the morning, Miguel did not waste any time and was practicing his martial arts move in front of their servant house.

The neighbors greeted him joyfully as he finally returned inside his room after Sara left to work.

Miguel cultivated inside and was able to refine one drop of Origin Energy after almost three hours. He used it to strengthen his body once more but like the last time, it still was not enough for him to break through to the next stage. Miguel believed that he was close to breaking through though.

After he finished cultivating, Miguel set off towards the red manor.

He and Erika had something to do today. He arrives at the manor with Erika already waiting in front with a gentle smile on her face.
