Kiba sat on the ground while drinking tea. In front of him was the village chief - Sanchez who has a strange expression on his face.

"Really? I never knew selfless people like you existed," Kiba lied down on the floor with his hands behind his head.

Sanchez was at loss for words. He indeed wanted to curry a favorable impression by providing a high-class welcome. It didn't go as per his plans but he still wanted to achieve his goal.

Kiba was startled.
