Level Infinity Weakest King

Chapter 204 - Warm Hands

'Sigh, if only I could sit here for a year or two, I could regain all the life force that I had lost.', Rex sighed.

Lifeforce was something that living organisms always emitted. It was the amount of vital energy required to continue life.

As a person grows, he emits a lot of life force into nature. When his entire life force has vanished, the person would then end up dying because the only vital energy that remained in his body would be mana, which would be depleted within a few days.

That was why the life force was a sensitive issue. So the bench that was being used by the public was something that was worth at least a few million gold coins or perhaps even more.

'Ha…'

'I should just buy this thing after treating the king's daughter.', Rex decided.

He had his eyes closed and was at peace when, suddenly, he recalled the girl's face.

Yes, for some reason, he was attracted to the pitiful face because it reminded him of Julia.

He almost immediately opened his eyes only to find her staring right at Rex and the bench.

Without even telling, Rex could conclude that she wanted to sit on the bench. Earlier, too, she had been constantly looking at the bench, so Rex waved his hand and called out to her.

"Little girl, would you like to come and sit?", he asked.

All the people who were in the line turned back to see whom he was calling. The one who was collecting the money also took a glance at the girl.

"N-"

"No, I…", she was hesitating because of all the eyes.

Rex understood that and said, "Don't worry about these people."

"Until I am here, they won't utter even a single word", Rex said.

She looked at Rex when he said this and then looked at the people.

Of course, they were all commoners, but even they were cruel. They mistreated beggars and that was why they all had disgusting expressions on their faces.

The girl believed Rex and walked slowly towards Rex when suddenly the man who was collecting the coins stopped her.

"Where do you think you are going?", he asked.

The girl stopped and looked at the man's face. She then trembled all of a sudden.

The man had a scary expression. And it was as if she had seen him a lot of times.

"What do you think you are doing?", Rex asked.

"Ah, sorry sir, but I know this girl."

"She is nothing but a slave."

"She doesn't deserve to touch that bench and dirty it," he said.

He had two teeth missing at the front. A small mole was just beside his left eye and, despite being skinny, he seemed to be around 40 years old.

"Slave or not, I want her to sit with me.", Rex said.

'What the-'

'What kind of weird taste does he have to call a young girl such as her?', the commoners thought.

But the man was strangely objecting. He said, "Sir, if you really want her to sit with you, you need to pay 1 gold coin per second for her."

Rex closed his eyes after hearing this. And as soon as he closed his eyes, the man thought that he gave up on asking the girl to sit with him.

He then turned around and slowly whispered in the ears of the girl, "Do you really think you can ever sit on it again? Dream on…Keke."

And just as he was smiling, he suddenly felt chills.

'What the-'

He almost immediately turned back to see Rex sitting with his eyes closed.

Yes, Rex was so angry when he raised the price for the girl that he ended up emitting a little bit of killing intent.

'Calm down…'

'Calm down Rex. Do not get angry. There are always different means to solve everything.', he took deep breathes and calmed himself.

Whenever he got angry, he would remember the moments when he slaughtered the fallen angels, and taking it as a lesson, he would try to calm himself. Of course, it was precisely because of that incident that he had started to get angry every now and then.

"1 gold coin per second is it?", he asked with a smile after calming down and opening his eyes.

"Y-yes."

"That's fine with me. Allow the girl to accompany me in sitting.", he said.

'Huh? Did I hear it right?', the man couldn't believe his ears.

'Is he really going to pay one gold coin per second for this bi*ch?', he looked at the little girl while thinking about this.

"But sir…", he tried denying even now.

"I said I would be paying, right? Now what's the problem?", Rex raised his voice.

"Y-yes.", the man just nodded his head.

He was somewhat happy because he was going to earn a lot right now, but was confused and shocked because Rex ended up agreeing to his condition.

The girl was much more surprised and felt guilty for some reason. She said, "No, it's fine."

"I don't want to waste your money, mister.", she said.

"Don't worry little one."

"Did you forget what I said earlier?", Rex asked.

"Eh…?"

"I am extremely…", Rex paused after the word.

"Rich…?", and the little completed it.

"Yes. So for today, don't worry about expenses and just ask me whatever you want. After all, shouldn't I treat my guide well?", Rex said with a lovely smile on his face.

The commoners who had the wrong idea about Rex, now understood that he was genuinely being nice. Earlier, they were a little frustrated because Rex was going to sit there for nearly 20 minutes, but now they no longer had the same feeling.

"Come, and sit", Rex said.

The girl hesitated a bit but then started walking when she saw Rex stretching both his hands.

She recalled her mom doing the same once, long ago. Unfortunately, she could no longer remember her mother's face, but she could remember those hands.

Now, instead of walking, she ran as fast as she could while thinking how warm Rex's hands would be.
