"You filthy thief."

“Trash in the Tokyo area!”

The convenience store owner and clerk were cursing as they grabbed the girl.

Coincidentally, the girl was controlled right in front of Rentaro Satomi who was shopping with Enju Aihara.

Looking at the girl's skinny body, messy hair, and dirty appearance, Rentaro Satomi frowned slightly, and confirmed in his heart that the girl was a cursed child from the outer district. He then asked the manager and clerk of the convenience store who had controlled the girl.

"What did she do to make you treat her like this?"

When the convenience store manager heard Rentaro Satomi's question, he thought no one would care about what he did to the Cursed Child and was stunned for a moment, then loudly defended his behavior.

"What's wrong? This brat stole something, and the guard just called her out, and she beat him half to death!"

Hearing the answer from the convenience store manager, a gleam appeared in Rentaro Satomi's eyes, and he thought to himself that as expected, these foods were stolen just like the clothes she was wearing.

As soon as he walked out of the convenience store and through the crowd, Gao Muming saw the girl twisting her body hard, shouting "Let me go" while trying to free her arms from the hands of the convenience store manager and clerk.

Seeing this scene, Gao Muming raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction. However, after hearing the explanation of the convenience store manager, Gao Muming was so angry that he laughed.

"She beat the guard half to death? If she had that kind of strength, would she still be controlled by a liar like you?"

"Look at that child and you can tell at a glance that he is a cursed child from the outer district. In the Tokyo area, where cursed children are not considered human beings, the existence of cursed children is a sin in itself. Even if they are wrongly accused, no one will care."

"The guy from the convenience store did this just to find an excuse to steal the gold necklace."

Gao Muming's face darkened as he thought about it, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Perhaps they are even worse than I thought. The reason they chased the girl out is that they want to control her and get more gold and silver jewelry from her."

Thinking of this, Gao Muming felt a surge of anger in his heart. He walked forward quickly while watching the changes on the field.

At this moment, the girl was stretching out her hand towards Aihara Enju who was only one step away from her with a look of expectation and pleading.

Amid the abuse and curses from the people around her, Enju Aihara stared at the girl intently and slowly raised one of his hands, wanting to lend a helping hand.

Sensing that something was wrong, Rentaro Satomi quickly raised his hand and hit the girl's hand, knocking the girl's hand away for help while holding down Enju Aihara's hand that was trying to be raised.

Rentaro Satomi successfully stopped Enju Aihara from raising her hand to help.

"You are a habitual thief. If you are caught stealing, don't drag Yeon-joo into it. She will be lynched by the people around you."

Rentaro Satomi thought so in his heart and glared at the girl fiercely with a fierce look in his eyes.

Frightened by Rentaro Satomi's disgusted and warning eyes, the girl who tried to call for help visibly shrank back under his cold gaze.

Gao Muming quickly pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the middle of the crowd. Just as Gao Muming was taking action, two patrol officers were also attracted by the commotion here and came over to check the situation.

"What are you all doing here? Disperse and don't create chaos or block normal traffic."

As the policeman spoke, he parted the crowd and walked into the middle of the crowd. He glanced at the girl who was controlled by the convenience store manager, his brows furrowed and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Without even thinking about asking about the details of the incident, the policeman simply took out handcuffs and shouted at the girl who was still trying to struggle.

"Don't move, you little bitch!"

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately looked over with resentment.

"I obviously did nothing wrong, but you don't know anything and don't even ask..."

"You have no right to speak here! You monster!"

Without waiting for the girl to finish her words, the policeman roared, raised his hand holding the handcuffs, and swung it hard towards the girl's face in an atmosphere of approval from the people around him.

Seeing the police's hand holding handcuffs getting closer and closer to her head, the girl closed her eyes in fear and tried to shrink her head in an attempt to avoid getting hurt.

Gao Muming, who squeezed into the crowd one step later than the police, saw that the girl was about to be hurt. Without thinking, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab the policeman's wrist tightly, helping the girl block the attack.

The policeman was somewhat surprised that someone came forward to stop him in such an atmosphere. He tried to pull his hand back, but found that no matter how hard he tried, his arm was like being clamped by an iron clamp and he couldn't move it at all.

After feeling the simple difference in power, the policeman whose wrist was grabbed by Gao Muming could only look at Gao Muming who stood up with a timid look on his face, trying to raise his voice to hide his somewhat nervous heart.

"You actually stopped me from enforcing the law. Do you want to attack the police?"

"I didn't intend to attack the police. I just tried to stop you from making a mistake when you tried to use violent law enforcement."

Takagi Akira said as he looked at the two people in the convenience store who were still controlling the girl, his tone full of contempt.

"I followed this kid into your convenience store. How come I didn't see the badly injured guard you mentioned? The things she gave you are worth far more than these cans. It's a bit unreasonable for you to have such evil intentions, isn't it?"

After hearing what Gao Muming said, the two people knew that their little thoughts had been seen through. Their eyes met Gao Muming's cold gaze. Feeling the chill in Gao Muming's eyes, they subconsciously let go of the hands that were controlling the girl.

Seeing that the situation was somewhat unfavorable to them, the two people in the convenience store rolled their eyes around trying to find some excuses. The manager's eyes fell on the knife on Takagi Akira's waist.

"The guy who stood out should be a policeman. After all, only policemen in Tokyo would walk around with melee weapons."

After thinking of Gao Muming's identity, the store manager secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"You can use his identity to refute the argument and guide the people around him. After all, he is a policeman and an accomplice of those damned Cursed Children. If he stands up to speak for the Cursed Children with his identity, it will not convince the people around him at all."

Thinking of this, the store manager immediately spoke loudly.

"From your attire, I know you are a police officer who has been with the Cursed Children for many years. You are a partner of the Cursed Children, but you stand up to speak for them and defend them. I have reason to suspect that you deliberately want to distort the facts in order to save people."
