"Father!"
The little boy behind them shrieked in utter despair.
Before the scream could even finish, the dwarf plunged a blade straight into his heart, and the boy collapsed, dead on the spot.
These two actions flowed like water, occurring in the blink of an eye.
The people lining up at the city gate to enter seemed to hear a piercing cry, yet it was so brief that they all wondered if they'd merely imagined it...
"Hey! Did you hear that? Just now I think I heard someone screaming," a strong man carrying baskets couldn't help but ask the person next to him.
"No, you must've heard wrong."
The bustling activity at the city gate, where guards were inspecting everyone, made it hard for people to focus properly.
The strong man thought he might have misheard, so he dismissed it and focused solely on standing in line, ready to handle his matters in the city.
The dwarf's ruthless act left Zhang San stunned: "L-l-little brother, w-what are you doing?"
