Ten minutes later, Steve appeared in the market west of the royal capital wearing a cloak. His invisibility potion failed a few minutes ago and he had to find another way to hide his whereabouts.

I chose to come to the market so that I could blend in with the crowd and avoid being noticed, and also to find out what happened last night.

Steve moved through the crowd, listening to conversations coming from all directions.

Some were talking loudly, some were whispering, but most people were talking about one thing, and that was another murder that happened last night

"I heard someone was killed yesterday......Bodies were torn apart and scattered everywhere......."

"This serial murder case has been going on for several days. Why did the government only announce it this morning?"

"I met the murderer directly at the scene last night, but it was a pity that the murderer escaped."

"I didn’t expect the murderer to be the hero who defeated the Ender Dragon......Unbelievable......"

"Could it be that he felt that the remuneration given by His Majesty the King was too little, so he wanted to take revenge on society? terrible......"

"The murderer is actually a zombie! Unexpectedly, there are zombies in the so-called 'savior' team! How is it possible for humans to hang out with zombies? Maybe some of the other people are monsters too......"

There are people everywhere talking about last night's murder, the true face and true purpose of the murderer, but no one has doubts about the fact that"the murderer is Wright". They all seem to think that who the murderer is has nothing to do with them. The case has become nothing more than gossip in life.

People avoid talking about the achievements of heroes. Once a hero is suspected of making a mistake, the spearhead of public opinion will accuse the hero of all crimes.

Who makes"heroes" so high and unattainable? What does the existence of"heroes" have to do with ordinary people?

Steve found a bench on the street and sat down, pressing his fingers between his eyebrows, looking tired and depressed and angry inside.

Based on people's conversations, he had a preliminary grasp of the current situation.

Under the current situation where people follow what others say, the conflict has shifted from"the authenticity of the murderer" to"when to catch the murderer".

No one casts doubt on the case itself.

Just because the people involved in the case have nothing to do with them......

We brought a brief period of peace to humanity......

What ended up being exchanged was......

Steve interrupted his thoughts and stopped thinking. The top priority now was to find Wright and figure out the ins and outs of the matter.

The crowd in front suddenly became commotion, and people gathered there

"what happened?" Steve also followed the flow of people. He tried to see clearly what people were paying attention to, but he only saw a bulletin board.

After a lot of effort, Steve squeezed into the first few rows and successfully saw the contents of the bulletin board.

"What......"Steve was stunned.

On the bulletin board, there were two arrest warrants with a reward of tens of thousands of gold ingots. Two names were written in large letters on the warrants - Steve and Wright. The charges were also written in large letters - murder.

Looking at his portrait and the ridiculous charges on the wanted poster, Steve felt his blood surge. He really wanted to rush up and tear off the wanted poster, tear it into pieces and smash it into the face of the government official next to him who was proudly reading out the order. superior.

After the government officials read out the criminal history of the two people on the wanted notice, the crowd began to boil, and there were many obscene words insulting the two people.

Just when Steve found it difficult to restrain himself, something unexpected happened.

A teenager and a girl rushed out from the crowd. They rushed to the bulletin board and tore up the wanted poster in full view of everyone.

The actions of the teenagers made the crowd fall into silence

"Sister Wright and Brother Steve are not bad people!"

"They are dragon-slaying heroes!"

The teenagers shouted in a voice that was almost pleading. No one in the crowd made a sound, and silence filled the whole place.

The face of the government official standing aside gradually turned the color of pig liver. He waved his right arm randomly and said angrily. He roared at the boy and girl:"You little bastard! You are violating the law and discipline! Come on, arrest them!"

Before the soldier could step forward, the fat official stepped forward and grabbed the girl's hair. The girl let out a scream. The boy wanted to step forward to stop him from committing violence, but was kicked to the ground.

"You all go to jail for me!"The official's face smiled ferociously, which was disgusting.

Steve couldn't hold it in any longer. He had already grasped the bone sword, but a flash of green suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

"!"

The official's hand holding the young man's hair was caught. The visitor appeared here almost instantly. No one in the crowd noticed when and how she got here.

"Alas! You, you are......"The official's face turned pale and his eyes widened

"scumbag......Don’t you understand why you are not allowed to do anything to children?"The person who came was none other than Wright, who was on the wanted warrant. Although her voice was gloomy, it revealed a terrifying anger that made people shudder.

Wright's hand began to exert force and directly crushed the bones of the official's wrist. Then he punched out, and the sound of cracking bones and the sound of breaking wind sounded at the same time. The official's face was covered with blood, and the whole person flew out and was smashed into a pile of wooden barrels, unconscious.

"yes...It's a murderer!"

The crowd began to panic and fled in all directions. Even the two soldiers present dropped their weapons and fled.

"Sister Wright......Woo woo......"The girl grabbed Wright's sleeve and burst into tears.

"Thank you for coming to our rescue, Sister Wright......."The boy was helped up by Wright and thanked him repeatedly.

Wright poked the two of them on the forehead and said,"I told you not to be impulsive just now. Do you realize your mistake now? It's very dangerous here. Take the money and find a place to hide first. I'll come back to pick you up when it's safe.""

"Sister Wright! You must not get caught!"The girl held Wright's hand with tears in her eyes.

"Well, my sister is very powerful, so she won’t be caught by the bad guys! but......But sister must come back to pick us up!"The young man wiped away his tears.

Wright smiled and touched their heads,"You go quickly, the soldiers will be here soon."

The two children glanced at Wright reluctantly, blended into the crowd and left. In less than a few dozen seconds, the only people present were Wright, Steve in a cloak, and the unconscious official.

Wright turned his gaze He looked at Steve holding the bone sword and smiled.
