Chapter 863 An Honorable Man
In addition to resentment, that man also had two rare Defensive Shields. One came from himself. The
other one came from an unborn spirit who passed away and used up their fortune to give him protection.
Previously, the Soul Brace Charm was there, so Wynter did not notice it. At that moment, she saw a faint
golden glow around him underneath the resentment.
She pointed at him and asked, “Were you a soldier once?”
“So what if I was? I don’t even get basic respect! They deserve to die! Everyone who bullied my daughter
deserved to die!” The man would not calm down at all.
The Soul Brace Charm suddenly shimmered. Clearly, the resentment from the man was its energy source.
Wynter let go of the man. Not everyone would get Defensive Shields just because they joined the army. Therefore, this man was not only a soldier once, but he also did something good.
Wynter truly did not want to make a person like him vanish. She held the squirming Soul Brace Charm in her right hand. Then, she bit her finger and drew on it.
The Soul Brace Charm accepted her blood and stopped vibrating. The other souls looked at each other.
They knew that if they wanted to return home, they had to rely on Wynter. They went up to her and yelled, Master, we beg you! Please save us! Budd Wilson has gone mad! He wants everyone killed.”
Wynter knew how to read faces. She just needed a few glances at them to know if they were good or bad.
However, the souls did not know this. They thought they might be able to get out of this by begging Wynter. They simply pushed all the blame to Budd, the middle–aged man.
“He’s really abnormal. Even his boss has told him to have a look at his brain.”
“In the office, we all know that he is mentally unstable. We would never dare to approach him.”
“Just because he had a tough life, he wanted to drag us down with him. He even went to the school to make a fuss. Master, you have to believe us. We all have wives and children. We can’t afford to mess with a lunatic. I beg you, let us go. If he wants an apology, we will give it to him!”
Wynter interrupted them and asked, “So, what did you do to make him want an apology?” Her words seemed to have cast a silent spell over them.
The souls never thought that Wynter would be standing up for Budd. They also never expected that she would ask them what they had done.
They looked at each other, trying to push someone out to speak on their behalf.
Wynter’s gaze swept over them. “Speak up. What did you all do?”
