"Why did you do this?" the priest croaked, voice trembling as he pressed his back against the altar behind him.
He stared at Feng like he was staring into the jaws of a starving beast.
He wanted or rather, he needed to know why this demon in human skin had attacked him today.
"If you're here to assassinate me for the crimes in the Aegis Empire, then I assure you it's all in the past. I've already repaid my debts to the Barfel."
'I haven't repaid shit,' he thought nervously.
But it would make sense if this stranger had been sent by them.
He owed the Barfel gang a great deal of money and one of the main reasons he'd crawled into this backwater town, hid inside this pathetic excuse of a temple, and accepted a life of obscurity… was to buy himself time.
"The Barfel?" Feng repeated, stopping mid-step. "What's that?"
He was genuinely confused.
The predatory aura around him… the murderous buzzing that had swarmed the room flickered out like a candle touched by wind.
