Hughes...
He was worried about what life would be like after he truly killed someone, worried about whether any company would accept him after he resigned from Sages, worried about truly becoming a Wanderer and ending up on the streets.
So, he didn't dare to act.
More accurately, he wasn't willing to act, he just hid this reluctance behind his fear.
Even though he had been subjected to such humiliation at Sages, even though he could now take revenge by killing the Demon who had taken his dear friend's life, he still was unwilling.
Through the mask, Jiang Shu witnessed all of this.
At this moment, he finally realized something.
It seemed that the Character Card system didn't just enslave the people of Lonely City in terms of their positions, it also bound their spirits.
The current Hughes, lacking even such bloodlust, it was no wonder he had ended up in this state.
Jiang Shu sighed as well, feeling a mix of pity for Hughes's misfortune and anger at his lack of resistance.
