Vivienne snorted with laughter, clearly amused by the absurdity of the situation.

Mayor Thompson, infuriated by her reaction, pointed a trembling finger at Vivienne. "What's so funny?"

His shaky finger waved uncomfortably in front of her, making the whole scene rather unpleasant.

Vivienne casually waved her hand in front of Mayor Thompson, and the next moment, as if by magic, he found himself kneeling on the ground.

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at Vivienne, utterly baffled by the turn of events.

Was the apprentice of the famed Thousand-Hands Healer really this powerful?

Just when the villagers were starting to suspect Vivienne, Logan, with just a glance from her, stood up.

"Pick on someone under my protection, and you're asking for trouble!" Logan declared, his presence commanding enough to instill fear in many.

Vivienne's lips curled up slightly as she turned her attention to Mrs. Thompson, the mayor's wife. Her calm demeanor at this stage suggested she was no ordinary woman.

Sure enough, Mrs. Thompson approached them gracefully. "What is the meaning of this? A healer is expected to show compassion. Surely, this is not the way, Thousand-Hands Healer?"

"All these people have been poisoned, and we've been tirelessly searching for a cure in our yard. Where would we find the time to poison them?" Logan retorted with a scoff. "You accuse us first and then dare to harm my apprentice. Isn't that a slap in my face?"

Mrs. Thompson, caught off guard by Logan's point, quickly changed her tune. "Oh, we're just concerned about everyone's well-being. Luck Village has been peaceful for years, and now suddenly, we're seeing mass poisoning cases after your arrival. It's only natural to have suspicions. We hope you understand."

Logan was about to respond when Vivienne signaled him, leading him to change his argument. "Such widespread poisoning is likely due to everyday living conditions."
