Chapter 578: A Suspicious Person
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yarin’s POV:
He looked very familiar – the same man I had chased away at the House of the Homeless.
I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I deliberately moved closer. However, if it wasn’t for my sudden high level of nearsightedness, then that man was him.
No wonder I had such a deep impression of him. There were no good people among the homeless, but his malice toward us was surprisingly great. His eyes were as sticky and disgusting as snot. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore and drove him away.
He was just a human vagrant and should not have any interactions with the werewolves. Why would he appear at the Moonlight Festival?
What I had seen and heard in the human world made me wary of human beings. I slightly pushed Heller, motioning him to look to the right.
Heller found nothing until he saw that suspicious man.
“It’s him!” He exclaimed softly. “That man who was not kind to us. Didn’t he get beaten up? Why is he here?”
“I don’t know. Maybe he’s just here to join in the fun. Maybe…”
Perhaps something bad had happened.
I didn’t finish my sentence. There were too many people here, especially with so many naive children around us.
However, Heller had already understood what I meant. He pretended to throw a handful of candies over there as if nothing had happened. As expected, that man didn’t take it like the others; instead, he moved further away as if he was trying his best to reduce his presence.
There was something wrong with him.
I nodded at Heller subtly. After being mischievous together for so many years, we could understand each other with just a glance.
So we began to throw candy in that direction frantically. It seemed that we were the only ones who were crazy and didn’t care about the others, but this strange movement quickly attracted the attention of others. 𝚋ｅｄｎ𝚘𝚟ｅｌ.ｃｏ𝚖
Lily was following the float. We occasionally make eye contact. She made sure that I was in her line of sight. I made sure that she would not feel lonely because she was alone.
Soon, she noticed us. I gave her a look and sprinkled a handful of candy on the man. Lily noticed him immediately. Her body stiffened imperceptibly, and then she immediately understood what I meant.
She took a few steps back against the crowd, where Kara was also following us to prevent any accidents. With her explanation, Kara immediately contacted the police hidden in the crowd and surrounded the suspicious man.
“Will he be caught?” Heller asked the two of them nervously.
“He will, but not now.” I pretended to smile at the crowd. “There are too many people here. Once there’s a riot, accidents can happen. Not only will it be difficult to catch someone, but it’s also possible that innocent people might get injured. Even if only one person falls in the chaos, it’s enough to cause a fatal stampede.”
“When will he be caught then? What if that man runs away?”
“It’s possible, but the possibility is very small. The entire Silver Moon Pack is filled with undercover officers. Even if he managed to escape the parade, the Silver Moon Pack would have an inescapable net waiting for him.”
As I spoke, Denise came over and asked curiously, “What are you talking about, Your Highness?”
“We were discussing the limited edition candies.” I immediately ended the dangerous topic and told this innocent girl, “Before the parade started, Heller got the ‘Morning Clouds’. We were wondering what it tasted like.”
“Is that so? This flavor does sound strange, but it is also quite novel!” Denise’s interest was immediately piqued. “It sounds like fresh air or dawn? I thought it might be lemon or sea salt.”
Heller and Denise started to discuss the taste of candy while Lily slightly nodded at me in the crowd before disappearing into the crowd with the plainclothes policemen.
The suspicious man undoubtedly had a very professional anti-reconnaissance awareness. Even in such a noisy and chaotic environment, he quickly realized he had been exposed and began thinking of ways to escape the plainclothes police.
After twists and turns, he quickly disappeared into the crowd like a fish swimming in the sea. Lily also disappeared with him.
I couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. That person didn’t look like a good person. She would be in danger!
“Hey, Yarin, pay attention to your expression.” Heller nudged me with his elbow, motioning me to keep smiling. “Lily will be fine with so many policemen around. You know that she’s a rational person. She won’t risk her life rashly.”
Although that was what he said, my worries couldn’t be dispelled. However, I knew I couldn’t rush down from the float to follow her. This would stir a storm in public opinion and might even bring trouble to Lily.
My good mood was instantly shattered by the man’s appearance.
I maintained a stiff smile and mechanically threw petals and candy at the crowd. I felt the music playing suddenly didn’t seem so pleasant anymore..
