The old villagers stared curiously at Zeke before whispering to one another because they could all tell that the man did not belong to Lewis Village.

“Whose relative is that young man? Why did he come?”

“I basically know everyone's relatives, but I've never seen him before. He's probably not here for his family.”

“Huh? If he's not looking for his family, why is he here? Could he be a thief?”

“I guess so. Why else would he come here?”

“Tell the others to guard the granary lest the thief steals from us.”

Zeke was amused when he noticed how narrow-minded the villagers were. Not even a thief would be interested in what little grain they have.

At the same time, the man felt guilty to see such a miserable village in Eurasia. The state of the place was due to his negligence.

Eventually, Zeke found a somewhat amicable elderly to talk to.

“Good morning, mister,” greeted Zeke before handing the villager a cigarette.

After glancing indifferently at Zeke, the old man accepted the offer. “Yeah?”

“Would you happen to know where Yannick and Yoshua live?” inquired Zeke.

In response, the old villager shook his head. “Why are you looking for them? Who are you to them?” questioned the elderly man suspiciously.



























Zeke thought for a moment before replying, “I'm a relative of theirs.”

Relative! The old man got excited when he heard Zeke's answer. “You're finally here. My friends, Yannick and Yoshua's relative is here. Come out!”

Swoosh!

Immediately, countless villagers rushed out of their houses to form a mob and surround Zeke.

“You're finally here! You have no idea how long we've waited for you.”

“You'll pay what they owe us.”

“We're living in hell because of them. As their relative, you're obligated to compensate us.”

“What's going on here, mister? What is this about a debt?” inquired Zeke with furrowed eyebrows.

“To put it simply, the twins' family owes us money. It's only natural that you pay for them since you're their relative,” explained the old villager.

“You must be joking. They're the ones who owe you money, so go after them. What's that got to do with me?” asked Zeke rhetorically.
