Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Benson Walton’s POV:

I couldn’t describe what kind of feeling it was. The moment the young man spoke, all the hair on my body stood on end. I couldn’t help but shift my position. My sharp teeth and claws gradually broke through the prison of the human form. This was my self-defense mechanism, trying to protect my safety.

There was no doubt that he was a dangerous person. Even though he looked as fair and slender as any child of a noble family, he did not look like he had been on the battlefield. However, he was indeed dangerous. He could use a power that 1 didn’t know and couldn’t understand to take down everyone present easily.

“Step back, Kevin.” 1 pulled Kevin behind me and nervously stared at the luxuriously dressed young man. “He’s dangerous. Calm down. Don’t underestimate him.”

Kevin didn’t say a word, so 1 couldn’t turn back to observe his reaction. It was the young man who laughed disdainfully when he saw my actions.

“Please don’t be nervous, Sir,” he said casually. “No matter how rebellious 1 am, 1 know it’s a great sin to use brute force in the temple, especially in the temple of an unfamiliar goddess. I don’t expect her to be more merciful than the Moon Goddess and forgive the offense of a heathen.”

“So you know that you’ve committed a great sin.” Kevin’s voice was no longer as steady as before. The lava hidden under the water was eager to erupt.

“Boy, the master of this temple has always been generous and kind, but to an offender, she is never stingy with her anger. 1 know you have some despicable tricks up your sleeve, but no matter what, you can’t escape from here today.”

The young man didn’t say anything. Gradually, he stopped laughing. The young man was handsome, smiling like a spring breeze. However, when the last trace of a smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth, one would find that the warm spring breeze was just an illusion. Hidden under it was a dry well that exuded a rotten smell.

This young man looked no older than twenty, but his temperament was like that of an old man with one foot in the grave.

“I don’t have any ill intentions. No matter what you’re thinking, that’s not me.” He said, “I just want to see what exactly happened. This poor wandering soul, after she spent countless years in confusion, was what made her leave the closed-up prison.”

I heard Kevin let out an extremely mean sneer. “Excellent acting skills, child. I will believe you if I didn’t know you were in cahoots with the culprit who caused all this.”

Wait a minute, was I the only one not in the situation right now?

What did he mean by ‘colluding’? Could this young man not be the person we were looking for?

Kevin’s meanness was incomparable to mine. Perhaps it was because my suspicions were too obvious, but he rolled his eyes at me in disdain. “Use your brain, Benson. How old could this child have been twenty years ago? I’m afraid it was not even a sperm then.”

The young man laughed without any sense of danger aversion.

“Alright, alright.” 1 thought the atmosphere might not be as tense as 1 had imagined, so I temporarily restrained my desire to attack and stop this confrontation that kept me in the dark. “No matter what, 1 hope that someone can give me an explanation. What is going on? Are we still fighting? Or did we catch the wrong person?”

“Yes, you’ve got the wrong person.” The young man nodded innocently.

“No.” Kevin shook his head. “We didn’t get the wrong person.”

“… Do you want me to leave first and wait for you to come up with a unified answer?” I would have laughed out of anger if it weren’t for the inappropriate atmosphere.

“Listen up, Kevin, and that kid over there. This isn’t a theater, and no one wants to see the three of us act like fools. This was the temple of a heretic goddess. This is already creepy enough. So, in the next five minutes, we either caught the wrong person and leave immediately. Either we fight to the death, and then one of us will surrender, understand?”

“1 sincerely hoped we could resolve the misunderstanding between us peacefully,” the noble boy said with an air of propriety. “At least listen to my explanation.”

Kevin remained silent. 1 could feel his patience and anger growing.

“You have one minute,” 1 immediately replied.

The angry buzzing moths calmed down in a few seconds and landed on the wall one after another, pretending to be stone sculptures.

Kevin seemed not stingy with this one minute, which relieved me. To be honest, although I was unsure if this kid was bluffing, his sense of danger made me unsure if I could subdue him.

“The wandering woman… That’s what the people around me and 1 call her. 1 don’t know when it started, but she barged into my family. Ever since I was born, I’ve heard people talking and whispering about her.”

The young man looked at the two women standing opposite each other and looked the same. They were pale and weak, not like ghosts. They had fallen to become two homeless wanderers, and they had been tortured day after day until they were no longer human..
