“It seemed that he had been in a car accident. Grandpa Blaine initially refused to accept this, asserting that this man must have been harmed by some villains. However, without any evidence, the man’s family couldn’t accept it either. They took him to a large hospital for an examination, and the results confirmed that he indeed had been in a car accident.”

Rhizone’s voice was filled with dejection. He was still young, but he had already heard the adults discussing these matters, and they sounded utterly disappointed.

“Later on, their family moved away, seemingly to seek medical treatment for their eldest son. After witnessing his predicament, the others didn’t dare to cause any more trouble. Now, whenever they showed up, everyone would avoid them, only returning once they had left.”

“Right now, the village is filled with the elderly and the weak. Everyone’s actions are driven by the fear of their children getting hurt.” Lysander said, her voice soft with concern. She was afraid that exposing him to the harsh realities too soon would lead to his disillusionment with the world.

Josiah, on the other hand, reassured, “I believe in karma. They will soon face their consequences.”

With a mix of skepticism and curiosity, Rhizone questioned, “There’s no such thing as karma. They’ve been doing wrong not just for a day or two, yet who knows when their comeuppance will arrive.”

“It’ll be here soon.”“”

Rhizone didn’t utter another word. He just silently led the way for them, clearly showing that he had become disheartened.

When he spotted a village not too far away, he raised his hand, pointing down the road ahead. “If we go around from that side, we’ll be able to see the health center.”

Their destination was not far off now,

Just as the trio spotted the light of hope, preparing to head back to charge their phones and call the police, a group of unruly youths had already started to approach from the only path they could take.

They practically looked like thugs.

Rhizone’s face drained of all color in fear when he saw them, and he halted in place. It was just like before when someone had stormed into his home causing chaos, leaving his parents to work tirelessly day and night to make ends meet.

Josiah took a step forward, positioning himself in front of Rhizone, shielding him from what lay ahead.
