Chapter 36 (1/2)

In contrast to the inner city, the outskirts of Havenwright were still incredibly rah there were yet to be electric lights in this world, a significant amount of people still walked around the place with oil lareat custoht Not to ht districts, where even the excitee of bars could be heard from miles away

As the curfew set by the church only applied to the inner city due to the immense labour strain if it were to be ier outskirts The church had no choice but to reluctantly allow the outskirts of Havenwright to develop into so like this

Most of the income of the Fulners came from the entertainment industry they developed in the outskirts With this inseparable bond between the nobles and the outskirts, it was even ht to be in a serene and quiet one outside the city walls The devoted folloho loved the peaceful nights usually would either becoather at the Blessed Zone in the outskirts The Blessed Zone was an area where the church allocated for the people, and although it was full with residents, it was more silent than the inner city

Aside from the Blessed Zone, there were no other functional areas in the outskirts If zones such as entertainment zones and residential zones were to be drawn clearly, it would take a long time for the people to join recreational activities due to the large area of the outskirts Thus, for convenience sake, everything except religion at the outskirts was ether

At thison the main roads of the outskirts He observed the people who hurried around him as he carefully walked towards the place Jeremy mentioned

The result of a convoluted geographical layout and population was a higher crime rate, which was especially proh the country investedpublic order, it nore the culture of fierceness in the outskirts, the lives of the people were still relatively peaceful

Benjas from his pocket money, the cross from the bishop, and the pistol he stole from Claude’s study If a pickpocket took any of these, he would have no idea where he could go and cry for their return Hence, he needed to be extremely careful as a brat from the roadside could sneak up on hi

Just as Benja himself about this, a child walked towards him from not far away

Oh? Benjaht transpire:

‘This son of a btch looked as squirmish as a rat, and not soon after, he would ‘accidentally’ knock into Benjamin, fall, and run as fast as the wind Then, Benjamin would realise that he lost his valuables when he finally reacted and searched his pockets This as shown on the television, right?

Does he really look like a gullible, fat lamb that could be cheated like that? He knows of this tact all too well! Coht! I really want to see if you really dare to steal from my hands!’

Thus, Benjamin’s senses were on red alert as he watched the child come closer to him

Closer… Closer… Any time now…

”What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you staring atbeside the child asked She swiftly scooped the child up and hugged him as she watched Benjamin ary eyes, as if Benjamin was a perverted child kidnapper

”” Benjamin was stunned silent

Aard…

He was too focused on his inored the fact that there was another person beside the child

”HAHAHAAHHAAHAAHAHHA!” the Systehter in Benjamin’s mind

”Sorry,” Benjaised to the woman

”You lunatic!” The woman held the child as she stepped away from Benja softly to her child, ”No, don’t be afraid The man lost his mind, and we’ll stay away from him, okay?”

Benja hiination This is an illness, Benjamin, cure it

Just as Benjamin was so asha boy, disheveled and filthy, ran out froht into Benjamin before Benjamin could react and knocked hi on

”” Benjaun was

Oh, that mothrfcker

In his mind, the System chortled loudly like it just won the lottery

Enraged, Benjamin furiously turned around and ran towards the boy The people on the streets were so surprised by the change of events that they could only dumbly look at the chase between the two Chaos ensued after that

”You better fucking stop!” Benjas for the past 6 h it was saved by the previous Benjaed to hi but to hasten his explosion

The child was obviously very fanored Benjamin’s shouts and slipped into an alleyith no hesitation

”shi+t, he’s a good runner,” Benjamin exclaiun he clipped at the back of his waist

He was not blinded by anger Instead, hisby how fast he ran and how fa, this brat was a veteran in this He was still slightly sore fro, so if he insisted to chase like this, he will lose the boy Then, who could he cry to about his predicament?

Thus, Benjamin made up histhe law of the protection for juveniles!

After another turn in the alleyway, Benjamin dare not to be reluctant anyun as he ran The shooting interface once again appeared before his eyes

In a flash, he aimed at the child’s knee

To shoot awill probably be the iment However, it was as easy as ABC for Benja interface

Bang!

Benjaround with a cry He struggled for a moment before he went still, unable to stand and run anymore

Benjaot hisafter, Benjaain At the other bend of the alleyway, 3 weirdly dressed person walked out They wore cloaks similar to Michelle’s They did not have a hood to cover their face, however, which hy Benjamin was able to have a clear look at their faces 3 of them were adult males, one elder, one tall, and one short, but all of them had the same eerie air around them

Obviously, they heard the gunshot Then, they looked strangely at the child lying on the floor before taking a glance at Benja

Benja

If he was not mistaken, those cloaks… Those cloaks were very sies?
