The Earl failed to understand the beggar's mind; new to the Martial World, he didn't think of human hearts as very complicated. He simply believed that since he had kindly saved these two and provided them with food, even if they were not grateful, they wouldn't harbor other thoughts towards him.
As the beggar took a bite of the steamed bun, after just one bite, the two individuals clutched their stomachs and cried out in pain, "Ah! It hurts so much."
The Earl had thought that by dragging these two out here, they wouldn't be poisoned; however, he didn't expect their physical endurance to be so low that they would be poisoned simply by the scent of the poison.
Foam spilled from their mouths as they clutched their bellies then fell to the ground; even so, they couldn't bear to let go of the steamed buns in their hands.
