"Whether it's human or ghost, you are the ones who should leave, not me." The mysterious figure's voice was filled with coldness.
Knowing that the other party was human, the two swindlers regained their courage.
The Fake Monk put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, Benefactor, if I'm not mistaken, you are also one of us, aren't you? Since we are all in the same line of work, why pretend to be a ghost here?"
However, the figure was full of mockery.
"One of us? Although I dislike you swindlers, since you are cheating them out of their money, I will forgive you."
Alhaitham slowly said, "So, all of this was your plan. You deliberately wanted the people of this village to become like this."
"Huh? How did you know that? Why didn't I notice?" Itto scratched his head.
Kaveh spread his hands and said, "Actually, it's not hard to guess. These two swindlers are clearly here to cheat the villagers out of their money."
"And this guy who is pretending to be a ghost doesn't hate them at all, and even seems to applaud it, which means he dislikes these villagers."
Itto suddenly understood and pressed, "But why would he do that?"
"How would I know?" Kaveh said impatiently, "If you want to know why, of course, you have to ask him."
Itto felt that made a lot of sense, so he loudly asked, "Why are you targeting these villagers? Do you know how miserable Uncle Wang is?!"
"Uncle Wang?" The figure murmured, "You mean Wang Gouzi, right?"
Xavier really couldn't listen anymore: "From your voice, you're not very old. Regardless, he's still your elder, how can you address him like that?"
However, the figure quietly said, "His real name is Wang Gouzi. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask."
For a moment, everyone was speechless. It seemed that this Uncle Wang's parents were also quite something, otherwise, why would they give him such a name?
"Speaking of which, Uncle Wang was quite good to me when I was little. Although he would always make me cry, he would also give me food and care for me."
"Compared to those beasts, he is more like a saint."
Although Xavier didn't know what their exact relationship was, it didn't sound like there was any deep hatred.
So he said indignantly, "Since he didn't offend you, why would you torment him like this? Look how weak he has become."
"So what? As long as I can achieve my goal, I can accept any price!"
"On the contrary, you guys are here to ruin my good deed!"
The fat monk immediately became unhappy and angrily said, "You are the one who ruined our good deed! Hurry up and compensate us for our emotional distress, or else you'll be sorry!"
With that, the fat monk stepped forward, intending to make a move.
As a result, the mysterious person took out a dagger from his embrace, scaring the fat monk into quickly retreating two steps.
"But then again, harmony brings wealth. This money isn't absolutely necessary to earn, hmm…"
Fischl complained, "Hey, you're saying 'then again' a bit too much!"
"Now you have two choices."
"First, leave here. Second, I will kill all of you!"
The mysterious man, holding the dagger, slowly walked towards everyone.
Xavier advised, "Brother, I advise you not to do this…"
However, just as Xavier finished speaking, a long spear struck the opponent's dagger flying, and it was placed against the opponent's neck.
"See? What did I tell you?"
Xavier looked helpless. He knew Shenhe would definitely make a move.
Ei also frowned and slowly drew a sword from her chest.
"To dare threaten our lives, I think now is the time to act."
Although Xavier had always emphasized that he shouldn't casually make a move on Blue Star, Shenhe had already started, so he couldn't just stand by.
"Brother, were we just beaten silly? How did I see that woman pull a sword from her chest?!"
"You didn't see wrong. She not only pulled out a sword, but it also came with lightning effects!"
The swindling duo shook their heads, truly unable to believe what was happening before their eyes.
Suddenly, Ei's gaze turned to the two of them.
"And them, not only are they going around swindling people, but they also saw us kill someone. We must silence them!"
After Ei finished speaking, her katana was fully drawn.
It was covered in constantly flashing lightning, just two glances at it felt painful enough.
"No, no, no, Sister, we know we were wrong. We will never swindle people again!"
Xavier, seeing this, really didn't know what to say. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and stopped Ei.
"You two really are something. Don't always resort to fighting and killing. Everything should be done with compassion."
Fortunately, with Xavier's intervention, Shenhe and Ei stopped their hands.
After stopping the two, Xavier then noticed that Itto next to him was also planning to wield his sword and make a move.
"Idiot, what are you doing?!"
Itto immediately retracted his weapon and said, "Huh? I thought a battle was about to start, so I was always ready!"
Well, none of these guys made things easy for him!
The mysterious person whose dagger had been knocked away was also stunned on the spot.
"I didn't expect these beasts to be able to invite such experts as yourselves. I miscalculated."
"Do what you want with me, kill or skin me, I'll even accept being reported to the police!"
He gave a bitter laugh, looking as if he was ready to die.
However, before Xavier could say anything, the swindler duo became anxious.
"No, don't call the police! This kind of thing can be resolved privately, why make such a big deal out of it, right?"
"Young man, what do you say?"
The two looked at Xavier with fawning expressions.
Xavier gave him a punch and ignored them further.
Instead, he walked towards the mysterious person, wanting to see his true appearance.
When Xavier approached and took off his mask, he was almost startled.
Because the man's face was covered in scars and burn marks.
"How is it? Were you scared by me?" The man seemed to have already guessed that Xavier would react this way.
Xavier coughed and said, "I'm sorry, brother, I was indeed a little scared."
"Since you know I look scary, then you should understand what kind of pain I've endured."
"If you really want to do good, then take your friends and leave, and these two swindlers too!"
Furina was a bit confused for a moment and wondered, "Hey, what does our doing good have to do with leaving? Isn't catching you and taking you to the police doing good?"
The man looked at Furina with cold eyes and said, "Because everything I've endured is thanks to the people you want to protect. Are you really doing good by protecting them?"
