Chapter 179 A graveyard of the living.
Aris was disgusted when a human wrapped his arm around her neck like that and breathed behind her ear. She was going to kill the rest of them, but then Rasmus placed his hands on her shoulders and stared right into her eyes. There were no words coming out of their mouths, but Aris calmed down not long after.
All the robbers were petrified as their bodies failed them and stayed put on the ground. They knew that the risk of robbing people would be death, but to face it right in front of them, they realized how wrong they were.

"Yellowing eyes..." Rasmus muttered as he looked at the other robbers. "Normal white eyes..." He glanced at the man's head that he had stabbed on the table.
"All of you were following these two?" Rasmus pointed at the headless man and the man he had killed.
The robbers nodded their heads repeatedly unconsciously to keep themselves alive. They were telling the truth because they didn't have the drive to harm others, but they had a strong reason to do so.
Rasmus tossed a gold coin at each of them without saying a word. They looked at the coin and they were in disbelief, tears covering their eyes as they clenched the coin with all their lives. They immediately bowed, placing their heads on the ground in front of him and thanking him for his kindness.

"Thank you, Doctor, for everything," the man nodded and then left.
Daryus looked at Rasmus and Aris who had gone further into the slum.
