Chapter 1333 - 1273: The Left Hand Cannot Be Used for Eating

Sienna Johnson turned her head to look, only to see Joanna cursing Noah out.

Men are proud, no matter how much she stirs things up with Adrian Desmond behind closed doors, Sienna always maintains his dignity in front of others.

This Joanna...

"It’s none of your business, don’t meddle." Adrian pulled her head back, not letting Sienna continue watching.

"That child is crying so pitifully..."

The child kept reaching out to be held by his mom, but Joanna ignored him, making Sienna feel very uncomfortable.

If a woman doesn’t want kids, she shouldn’t have them. Once they’re born, she should care for them.

Adrian never liked noisy children to begin with, and he’s even less fond of ones that aren’t his own.

"His own mother doesn’t care, why should you?"

The car arrived, and Noah, clearly agitated, got in with the child, not caring about Joanna.

Joanna froze for a moment. She clearly didn’t expect to be left behind, and she cursed loudly in the direction of the departing car.

"Thinking about the child again..."

"I am... I really want to go back now." On the road, Sienna kept watching the children by the roadside.

Adrian nudged her head gently, saying, "Only three more days!"

...

Adrian didn’t take Sienna to the poor and backward areas but chose the wealthy North District, where security was better.

The streets were lined with mosque buildings, men in white robes, women wrapped like rice dumplings, bustling markets, and an exotic atmosphere.

"This place is beautiful," Sienna said.

On her first day in Kalare, Sienna was scared and constantly wary and fearful of this place. She didn’t expect there to be places with such charm here.

Seeing that Sienna enjoyed herself, Adrian was happy too.

"There are many scenic spots here. If you like them, I’ll take you there tomorrow."

Sienna shook her head, "Sixth Master, you only have three days!"

"I know."

They found a restaurant to dine in.

The dishes were served, but there were no chopsticks or spoons.

"Adrian, why are there no chopsticks?"

Adrian washed his hands in a golden basin, saying, "People here eat with their hands."

"This isn’t Naminua," Sienna only knew that Naminua people eat with their hands.

"They are Arabs. All Arabs eat with their hands. You might not know, but billions worldwide eat like this.

Eat, there are no chopsticks here."

Sienna glanced at the next table.

She saw a man using his right hand to roll a small ball of rice and kept putting it in his mouth. When he drank soup, Sienna thought he would lift the bowl and drink it all at once, but surprisingly, he stirred a small ball of rolled rice in the soup and then put the wet rice ball in his mouth.

Sienna wasn’t disrespectful of their customs, but she found it quite disgusting.

Having been from Southeast Agaia, Adrian was well adapted to this custom, eating rolled rice like the man beside him.

Sienna’s veil couldn’t be removed, so how would she eat?

Sienna saw women funneling rice under their veils into their mouths, leaving her speechless.

Sienna extended her left hand to roll a ball of rice to eat when suddenly the man at the next table shouted, "Stop!"

Sienna paused her actions, looking puzzled at him.

The man looked shocked at her, "You cannot put rice in your mouth."

"Why?"

The man explained, "According to our Arab customs, the left hand is unclean. We use our left hand with water to wash after toilet use, so we eat with our right hand."

Sienna recalled at the hotel that there was no toilet paper in the restroom, and she was puzzled. It turned out they used their hands as toilet paper.

Sienna felt she couldn’t eat anymore.

"Adrian, go on and eat; I’m not hungry."

Adrian offered, "Shall I find you a spoon?" Chopsticks were impossible.

"No, I’m feeling nauseous."

Suddenly, a loudspeaker blared. Before Sienna understood what was happening, she saw those around her heading to the restroom to wash their hands and feet. Then, barefoot and carrying their socks, they exited the restroom and each found a small carpet or cardboard cushion to lay on the ground, facing Qibla in the east, and knelt down, bowing repeatedly with whispers.

Faced with such reverence, Sienna had witnessed this on her first day at the hotel.

The housekeeping staff was cleaning and suddenly knelt down to begin praying.

They have five devoted prayer scenes a day.

The Kalare people’s pilgrimage is as indispensable as three meals a day. At this moment, whether you’re a high-ranking official or a beggar wandering the streets, all are equal before pilgrimage.

"Adrian, let’s go," Sienna whispered to Adrian, afraid of disturbing their holy ritual.

Seeing people kneeling on the ground made Sienna uncomfortable.

Adrian was there to accompany Sienna for dinner, and since she didn’t want to eat, he didn’t either.

He cleaned his hands, paid, and left.

It was prayer time, so the road was quiet.

"The power of faith is truly strong."

"Indeed."

Sienna asked perplexedly, "With faith so strong, why is there so much war here? And pirates?"

"People here become pirates just like you Orienta people work in factories, simply to make a living."

Sienna increasingly missed her home.

Seeing Sienna’s lack of interest, Adrian decided to take her back.

...

In the middle of the night, Adrian instructed Brandon to take good care of Sienna and left alone.

General’s Residence,

Marion had prior information that Adrian would arrive and had prepared a reception.

Seeing Adrian personally visiting, Marion was quite surprised, "Sixth Master, why are you here?"

"How is Night Owl?"

"Night Owl was taken by Larissa."

"Oh."

Marion kept silent, but Sabrina spoke without reservation, happily saying, "Larissa has taken a liking to Adrian, so she took Night Owl."

"Why weren’t you two keeping an eye on him?" Adrian scolded.

Sabrina asked perplexedly, "Sixth Master, didn’t you say Larissa should really torment Night Owl? If she took him, isn’t that perfect?"

"Where is Night Owl now?"

"Still at General Mansion!"

"Take me there!"

"Yes!"

Marion and Sabrina, aware of Night Owl’s prowess, had been monitoring him. They only came out to meet Adrian because he arrived personally.

Three days, Night Owl must die within these three days!
