Luna heard what Ethan said to her. Even though many players looked at her with contempt, none of them dared to harm her.
The reason they held back was fear of uncertainty. That's right—Ethan was a stranger to them. No one had ever seen him before, which meant none of them knew how strong he was.
"Look at him! Doesn't he realize there are so many people who want to chop his head off?"
"If I were him, I wouldn't be stupid enough to enter this village."
"He's clearly challenging death by coming here."
Ethan heard their words too, not just Luna. He couldn't blame them—after all, what they said was true.
To deny the truth and facts would only make me a hypocrite.
Ethan and Luna stopped walking when they arrived in front of one of the three inns in the village.
People were still watching them, both those outside and those inside the inn.
They only stared but didn't attack. What exactly were they afraid of?
