"Otto, how about we bring some back for the teacher?"
Karen suggested it, and Otto thought it was a good idea. Luo Chen was probably still asleep, so they decided to bring him some for lunch.
"You despicable, crazy woman, you don't know what's good for you!"
After packing up their snacks, the two walked out of the dessert shop and heard an angry voice. Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw a man about to hit a woman.
"Stop! What are you doing?"
Karen was immediately overcome with a sense of justice. She grabbed the man's hand and shook him off, saying righteously, "You are a priest of Destiny, yet you assaulted a woman and her child in broad daylight. What exactly are you trying to do?"
"doing what?"
The man sneered, looking at Karen with disdain, and said coldly, "You suffered a defeat outside, yet you flaunt your power against your own people, my lord. We're just cleaning up the mess you left behind."
Just as Karen was about to argue with him, Otto grabbed her arm and pulled her to his side.
"What's going on? Why is it so noisy here?"
When the man saw it was Otto, his arrogance immediately vanished, and he looked at the woman kneeling on the ground with a sneer.
"Hmph, I won't hold it against you today. I'll give you three more days. If you want to hate someone, hate these incompetent knights."
After the man left, Otto let go of her hand, and Karen helped the woman up and asked about her injuries.
"Are you OK?"
"Sorry, we're closed."
The woman shook her head, didn't look at Karen, and walked back to the flower shop with her daughter, closing the door behind her.
Karen stared at the closed door, clenched her fists, and felt a surge of anger.
"How could such an absurd thing happen! Innocent people are being forced to commit sins, while those who are truly sinful live freely."
Karen gritted her teeth in anger, but Otto placed his hands on her cheeks, leaving Karen stunned.
“Karen, I know what you’re thinking. But an eye for an eye is too naive a concept, and it’s not feasible.”
“That’s right, Otto is right.”
Luo Chen's voice rang out, and Otto and Karen looked over in surprise, only to find Luo Chen leaning against the wall, holding the pastries that Otto had originally been holding and enjoying them.
"The taste is a bit bland."
After finishing his snacks, Luo Chen burned the packaging and greeted the two people who were walking over.
"You two, you came out to eat without inviting me."
"I thought you were still sleeping, teacher."
Otto smiled, a smile that already bore a resemblance to the cunning smile he would have five hundred years later. Every time Luo Chen saw it, he wanted to punch him.
Do you really think I like sleeping that much?
Luo Chen smiled. Otto and Kallen had both grown up, but time hadn't left any marks on Luo Chen. Even though eleven years had passed since their first meeting with Luo Chen, he still looked so young.
“Otherwise what? We’ve looked for you several times and you were asleep. My father has complained about this to me many times as well.”
Karen stood with her hands on her hips. In front of Luo Chen, she didn't need to think about what had just happened; she could leave the brain work to Luo Chen and Otto.
"Really? Well, I guess it's because I like sleeping."
Luo Chen stroked his chin. There was no signal here, and no electricity either. He didn't know what to do except sleep.
"Karen, brute force is never the best solution. You have to use your brain more in times like this."
Luo Chen flicked Karen on the forehead, and Karen pouted and admitted that she had indeed acted impulsively.
"Destiny is still too urbanized."
Luo Chen sneered. He didn't want to get involved in Tianming's messy affairs, but if they offended him, they couldn't blame him.
Looking at Luo Chen's chilling smile, Otto believed that if those nobles really did something intolerable, Luo Chen would definitely make sure they didn't see the sun rise tomorrow.
"Are you two free right now? How about you come with me for a walk?"
Luo Chen stopped sneering and put on a warm smile. He placed his right hand on Otto's shoulder, and the cold aura around him dissipated.
"No, teacher, where are you going?"
"Let's just wander around. How about we go check out the square?"
The three arrived at the square, and Luo Chen could see from a distance that the center of the square was crowded with people, and there seemed to be a platform set up.
What are they doing over there?
Karen pointed at the crowd, curious about what was going on.
"I don't know, let's go check it out."
Otto knew all this, but pretended not to, and squeezed in with Kallen, while Luo Chen teleported away to find a high place to overlook the crowd.
The two arrived at the front of the stage, where Karen saw a red-haired girl standing on the stage, wearing a mask covering her eyes.
"No matter how much a person may appear to be an angel on the outside, they may still be hiding their true self deep inside."
The girl opened her arms and spoke loudly. Seeing the interested expressions on the faces of the people below the stage, she continued speaking.
"They roam like venomous snakes and devour like hungry rats. For their own benefit, they indulge themselves without restraint, greedily extort money, and disregard the lives and deaths of the people."
At the height of her passion, the girl drew her sword from her waist, pointing it directly at Karen opposite her, stopping at the symbol of destiny on her chest.
“I, the righteous one who wields the sword, will slit the throat of your order.”
Chapter 257 Let's become a phantom thief!
"Seize her! She's the one who's defaming Destiny!"
Someone in the crowd shouted, and several guards rushed through the crowd to the stage. One of them grabbed the girl's arm and forcefully pushed her to the ground.
"The people will not be fooled by you like this again!"
The girl shouted, and the mask on her face fell off and landed at Karen's feet.
'I have to find a way to save her; I can't let the priests take her away.'
Karen picked up the mask, looked at the commotion on the stage, and was about to find a secluded spot when Otto grabbed her wrist.
"Otto..."
Karen thought Otto was going to stop her, so she shook off his hand and tried to rush out, but Otto just shook his head and gestured for Karen to watch from the stands.
Karen turned her head and saw a wisp of black smoke appear on the stage, and a person wearing a black cloak appeared among the guards.
"who are you?"
The guards spotted the man; he was wearing a mask, so they couldn't see his face.
"Nothing to do with you."
Luo Chen lowered his voice and kicked away the guard who was holding the girl. Avoiding the spear of another guard, he grabbed the spear shaft and crushed it with force.
"All you ever do is bully ordinary people."
Luo Chen turned to the trembling priest standing to the side, kicked him far away, pulled up the girl sitting on the ground, and fled the scene with her.
"let's go."
Otto pulled Karen away from the scene quietly, and walked to a small alley a little far from the square, where they met Luo Chen, who had been waiting for a long time.
"You guys are so slow."
Luo Chen tossed his mask up and down, and sitting next to him was the girl from before.
"Teacher, are you okay?"
"How could anything be wrong with me?"
Luo Chen chuckled, turned around to look at the girl still sitting on the box, and pointed outside the alley.
"Those guys should be gone now, you can go out."
"Thank you for saving me, sir."
The girl bowed deeply to Luo Chen, thanking him for saving her.
"It's easy."
Luo Chen waved his hand, looking at the mask in Karen's hand. The girl followed Luo Chen's gaze and saw her own mask as well.
"Oh, right, here you go."
Karen stepped forward, handed the mask to the girl, and said with a smile, "I really enjoyed your performance, and I'll come again next time."
"Yeah……"
The girl looked at the symbol of destiny on Karen's chest, shook her head, and pushed the mask back.
"I don't want this mask anymore, you can have it."
Before Karen could reply, the girl quickly left the alley.
"Teacher, you didn't reveal anything just now, did you?"
After the girl walked away, Otto finally spoke, but Luo Chen shook his head to reassure him.
"I'm just an ordinary, law-abiding citizen. What does that man in black have to do with me?"
