Don't be afraid, I'll take you away! [Seeking subscriptions]

A smile rested on Zong Shen's face.

Zoe immediately panicked and instinctively wanted to get away from here.

However, in order not to give herself away, she still nodded stiffly.

To Zong Shen, the person before him simply seemed somewhat reserved.

He glanced over Zoe's attire. She looked like a down-and-out traveler.

Without deliberately scrutinizing someone or checking their attributes, one could not see an attribute panel.

Even without her reminder, Jeanne, Kaginia, and Zong Shen himself had already noticed.

Still, he liked people with such upright character.

With justice in one's heart, everything seemed bright.

Seeing how reserved the young man before him was, Zong Shen reached one hand to his waist and took out a large 100 Denar coin. With his other arm, he wrapped it around Zoe's shoulders, pulled her close, and gave her a hug.

Zoe was horrified and tried to struggle, but against Zong Shen's more than 200 points of Strength, her resistance was like a wave on the sea.
