Chapter 707 You Hooligan

“I wasn’t the one who started the fire. I also wasn’t the one who threatened to make them disappear, so why are they afraid of me?”

Gilbert growled in annoyance. Then his gaze grew icy, ” What did you mean just now? Are you doubting me?”

Kisa avoided his gaze and said flatly, “I didn’t mean anything. But it’s hard not to suspect you with how you’re reacting right now.”

“What is there to suspect? Kisa Becker, whatever the f*ck you’re trying to say, just say it to my face!”

Gilbert was incredibly annoyed. He had a dark expression that looked as if he were about to beat someone up.

Kisa took a step back and gazed at him darkly, “I’m not trying to say anything. As for the truth, we’ll find out once the two jailers calm down later,” Kisa said.

Then, she walked toward a stone on the training grounds and sat down.

Gilbert peered at her back coldly. Suddenly, he turned around, and his fist landed on the wall.

The wall was made of dirt, so his punch almost shattered the entire wall.

Kisa watched his violent actions in silence.

‘He’s acting cranky and irritable as if he’s afraid of something, but I don’t want to think of anything at all right now. After all, the two jailers are right in front of me, so I’ll draw conclusions after I speak to the two jailers. Pondering any further is futile,‘ she thought.

Suddenly, she saw a few small figures from the corner of her eye.

Kisa turned around and saw three children hiding behind a tile–roofed house nearby.

Among the three children, the oldest looked at most four years old, while the youngest looked only two years old.

They gazed at the tile–roofed house where the jailers stayed in fear and worry.

Kisa recalled the subordinates saying that the two jailers had families in the village and figured that they must be the children of the jailers.

She got up and trudged toward the three children.

However, the children immediately shrunk away in fear as she got closer. It was obvious that they were terrified.

Kisa tried her best to form a friendly smile, “Don’t worry, your mothers are fine. They’ll be going home soon.”

“My mom used to tell my dad that she did something bad and that bad guys would come to find her someday. Are

you all the bad guys that she spoke of?”

One of the older children asked her fearfully while standing a couple of feet away.

Kisa felt puzzled.

‘The bad thing his mother talked about, was it the fire in the prison? But if they were only accomplices, I don’t think they’ve done anything wrong. They’re just victims who were intimidated and threatened to keep their

mouths shut. Unless they had also intervened in the fire,‘ she thought.

While she was deep in thought, a broom was suddenly flung toward her.

Kisa’s expression promptly changed. She backed away hurriedly, and the broom barely missed her.

The broom was swung backward and flung toward her again.

In the midst of dodging the attacks in panic, Kisa saw that it was an old woman who was attacking her with the

broom.

The old woman’s face brimmed with hatred as she

attacked Kisa relentlessly.

As Kisa continued backing away, her foot stumbled into a hole in the ground. She immediately lost her balance, and she fell toward the ground in confusion.

Fortunately, someone quickly caught her.

Then, a hand grabbed the broom that was about to hit her.

Kisa turned around in shock and uncertainty. The person who had grabbed the broom was Gilbert, and the person who had their arms around her was also Gilbert.

“You hooligan!”

Gilbert snorted icily before flinging the broom. Then, the broom instantly tilted to the side as the old woman toppled to the ground.

“Grandma…”

“Grandma…”

The three children immediately surrounded the old

woman.

The old woman fell onto the ground. However, she was not hurt and continued glaring at Kisa viciously.

Kisa steadied herself and asked the old woman, “Why did you attack me?”
