When Seong brandished the bloodstained dagger as evidence, the NPCs around him immediately burst into laughter.

"So what? Lint, you got caught?"

"Puhaha! What a dumbass."

"How the hell did you screw this up!?"

"I thought this was something serious."

"Hey, outsider, you should’ve said something earlier."

"Eh, not like it would’ve mattered. If you gave Lint a heads-up, he would’ve just run away."

"Yeah, that’s true."

The veteran criminals in the tavern simply shrugged and went back to drinking.

They couldn’t care less whether Lint got arrested or executed.

He wasn’t part of their crew.

There was no loyalty to uphold.

But Lint, furious at their indifference, refused to go down quietly.

"Fuck off! What the hell did I do!? I could’ve just happened to have the same dagger!"

Even through the pain of his twisted wrist, he growled in desperation.

But unfortunately for him—

His opponent was Seong.

"I heard Melisia’s dying words myself."

"...What?"

Lint’s eyes trembled violently.

That reaction was all the confirmation Seong needed.

Just moments ago, Lint had been loud and defiant.@@novelbin@@

But now—

All the strength drained from his body, and he collapsed onto the floor.

Seong let go of his broken wrist and stared down at him.

Still, he needed to finish this properly.

But before he could speak—

"Wait, Melisia!?"

"Lint, you bastard! You killed Melisia!?"
