As night fell, the people in town gradually returned to their homes. Those living in houses would keep their doors shut while those living in shacks would conceal themselves behind curtain doors.
When Milo came back in the evening, he heard that a man working at the rubber factory had been stabbed to death after returning from work. It was said that someone learned about that man’s habit of saving money, so someone got evil intentions.
The people in town liked living together to look out for each other. Friends, brothers, and couples stayed together and took turns to keep watch throughout the night. In a way, this gave them a better sense of security. This was also how Milo and Donti teamed up together at the beginning. But some people fell victim to the people they partnered with.
The assailants were often shortsighted as they did not realize that after harming their partners, no one would ever trust them again. The assailants who ended up alone this way would usually come to a bad end.
Milo sat in his shack and unwrapped the bandage from his hand. He frowned when he saw the condition of the wound. The flesh around it was red and swollen. This was a sign of inflammation.
