They walked around the streets surrounded by many big and small houses and a few shops but because Kyle’s pocket was empty he just quietly looked at the shops from afar.
‘Why am I so poor?’
He shook his head with a frustrated sigh but in the next second his eyes lit up.
‘Ah right, I ‘borrowed’ a lot of weapons from the participants in the event I can sell them!’
Kyle’s mood brightened. He sensed in his mind space and gazed at the pile of weapons placed in a corner with a nod.
Bia’s lazy voice sounded in his mind.
-‘You still going to say ‘borrowed’ even when you are planning to sell them?’
Kyle ignored her remark and followed behind the group. Due to the dark clouds gathered above in the sky, the long streets were beautifully illuminated by the warm glow of lights pouring out from the windows of nearby houses and the decorations hanging outside the shops.
Just like him, Niamh and Faith were mostly quiet but they would speak from time to time whenever they saw something interesting. Regius and Yue were silently following behind the duo. The only person who looked excited was Sinon.
Kyle’s gaze wandered around and he saw a lot of passersby glancing at his group.
‘Yue is beautiful and Sinon is a rare demi-human who possesses wings so they are attracting a lot of attention.’
He shook his head and ignored the fact that his handsome features and striking silver hair were one of the reasons why so many He shook his head and ignored the fact that his handsome features and striking silver hair were one of the reasons why so many passersby would turn around to look at the group.
The moon was shining brightly above their heads when they finally arrived at the place where the festival was held.
Kyle’s eyes trailed around, different from the streets they walked before, the place in front of him was adorned with a lot of colorful lights sparkling brightly under the dark clouds.
The number of shops doubled. On both sides, countless food stalls and merchants were selling their goods with ambiguous smiles.
Moreover, the atmosphere was bustling with noisy laughter and a huge crowd. The place was mostly filled with elves but Kyle saw a lot of humans and demi-humans roaming around the street comfortably. He even noticed a few dwarfs, a race that was rarely seen on the East Continent.
After a minute, he pinched his brows.
‘Too much noise. Now I know why Regius and the others were reluctant to come to the festival.’
He silently walked between the rows of stalls with an expressionless face. Amidst the loud atmosphere, his silver hair sparkled under the lights.
Kyle eyed a decent-looking weapon shop behind a clothing stall and gazed at his group members, they were standing in front of a food stall.
He clicked his tongue because he could sense all of them were excited even though they didn’t want to come here.
With a sigh, Kyle increased his speed and arrived beside Regius. He opened his mouth to speak when he noticed a few drunk individuals staggering out from a restaurant. They stumbled and crashed into a lot of people. One of them even flirted with a young elven girl standing with her parents.
A frown appeared on Kyle’s face when he saw them approaching Yue. He didn’t think much about it but he noticed how they were ogling at Yue figure with lustful eyes.
He moved back with a calm expression and stood behind Yue who was startled due to his sudden movement.
She looked back at him and blinked her eyes.
“What happened?”
“Nothing.”
Kyle’s voice was nonchalant, but after his voice faded into the air a pained cry sounded behind his back. The cry startled a lot of people standing around them.
However, the culprit merely raised his brow and looked back with a cold expression. Kyle’s fingers swirled and tiny wisps of blue flames lingered on his skin.
One of the drunk individuals had his fingers frozen into ice the moment he moved his hand toward Yue. He screamed and squirmed in pain. His friends gazed at him with horrid eyes and looked at Kyle who was staring at them coldly.
In the next second, they abandoned the screaming guy and started running to save their lives.
Regius and the others stopped and looked at Kyle with confused eyes. Why did he suddenly attack a citizen? However, their confusion was answered when they looked at Yue who was frozen in her spot.
Amidst the quiet crowd, Yue eyed Kyle with a complicated expression.
She wasn’t weak and a few seconds ago she indeed sensed a creepy gaze lingering around her body but she never expected Kyle would go out of his way to stop the person who wanted to touch her. That’s why she was stunned for a second.
Yue gazed at the silver-haired boy standing in front of her. Just like how they first met his eyes were pure, devoid of any lust and disgusting desire.
She felt uncomfortable but the moment their eyes met her ears turned bright red. However, she didn’t dodge and from her expressionless face no one could guess what she was thinking.
Her voice was firm when she called out his name.
“Kyle?”
Kyle shrugged his shoulders and retracted his gaze to look at the Regius and the others.
“It’s nothing.”
A far contrast to his words, the drunken man who was crying behind him while clutching his frozen fingers almost choked. His pupils dilated with shock when his frozen fingers started disintegrating. Even the crowd got scared and immediately distanced themselves from the crying man who fainted after his fingers turned into tiny particles.
Kyle wore an innocent expression as he pointed at the decent-looking weapon shop he had seen a while ago.
“I am going to sell some weapons. You all can eat and look around the festival.”
Regius and the others finally snapped out from their trace when they saw Kyle fading back. After Kyle disappeared, they looked at each other and sighed.
Sinon pinched his nose with a groan.
“I think Kyle overdid it but this type of people can never understand if no one put sense in them.”
Regius nodded. He turned around and started walking toward a nearby stall.
“His skills are indeed unique. Let’s leave, Kyle will catch up to us after he is done.”
