Khrom trembled when he heard Gul Palius\' words. Wrath appeared inside his eyes, rage engulfed his face, as he stared at the man on the ground. Gul Palius didn\'t seem to notice his expression and continued sarcastically. "That woman thought she could save you by acting like a whore, but who could have thought that you would kill her instead?" Mayor looked at Khrom and revealed his bloody teeth, grinning. "She tried to save you by acting like an unfaithful wife but you? You killed her. I don\'t think you are any better than me."

Khrom turned pale as he heard Gul Palius. He knew that everything he said was true. His wife did everything to save him, she didn\'t even shirk from enduring those awful things. However, instead of bearing the burden and hardship together with her, he killed her. He still vividly remembered her expression when the last time she breathed. 

There was a relief on her face, as she knew that she could be free of this terrible life; there was a pain in her heart, as her husband was the one who killed her; her eyes were reluctant, as she knew that she would be separated from her love for all the eternity; her eyes were filled with tears, but her face had a blossoming smile that he used to see when they were in their village. 

Guilt gnawed him from inside as he remembered her sweet innocent smile, her face in tears, the pain that she hid in her heart. The terrible things she went through for him, endured for him and lived in pain, everything just for him, and he knew that. He fell on his knees and tears rolled from his eyes, as guilt engulfed his heart like a claw of a devil from hell. 

Mayor Palius looked at Khrom and laughed evilly, and then sighed. "She was an amazing woman. Her tender skin, her silky hair, her velvety lips, her…"

"Shut up!" Khrom snapped with rage, staring at Gul Palius with crimson eyes. His entire body trembled in fury. He gritted his teeth in rancour and grunted. "I\'ll make you pay for what you did to her. I\'ll make you beg for death...but death won\'t come to you!"

"Hahaha!" Mayor burst into a peal of laughter when he heard his roar, staring at Khorm mockingly, then sneered. "Do you think you can make me beg? What a pipe dream you\'ve there, but indeed the taste of your wife was amazing, I still miss it." He licked his lips pervertedly and grinned.

Khrom kicked him again and again. However, the Mayor continued to chortle.

Kadyn frowned when he heard their conversation. He looked at Khrom and sighed. Then a cold expression appeared on his face. This guy deserves punishment worse than death. However, he wasn\'t his employee so he could not deal with him the same way he did Hicka. He thought for a moment and turned towards Potioneer Yel. "Do you have a potion that could increase the body\'s sensitivity?"

"Huh?" Potioneer Yel looked at Kadyn in confusion but then something came into his mind and his eyes shone. He glanced at Mayor Palius, however, didn\'t feel a shred of pity for him. As he knew what kind of person he was. He glanced at Khrom and nodded. "I\'ve two such potions. One could increase the sensitivity of Rank 1 Magus by 10 times while the other could by 20 times. We mostly use them to interrogation or torture the criminals."

"Give me the most potent one," Kadyn said without a shred of emotion. However, his heart was burning with rage. Kadyn didn\'t even want to think about the pain Khrom went through. No one could understand his pain and anger. Kadyn didn\'t know in what kind of situation he killed his wife, but he must have been devastated when he realised the truth.

Potioneer Yel nodded and said. "I\'ve stored it in my living quarters. I\'ll go get it."

Kadyn didn\'t bother with him anymore and walked towards Khrom. He gently patted his shoulder and said. "Don\'t worry, I\'ll make him pay for what he has done to you, and indeed, he will ask for death, but we won\'t let him die."

Khrom looked at Kadyn and fell on his knees. Then started to cry, he looked upward and shouted in misery as he held his head in his hands, pulling his hair in frustration. Kadyn stared at him, hesitating for a moment, but then sighed and remained silent. He turned towards Mayor Palius who was laughing mockingly at Khrom and kicked on his mouth. The man squealed pathetically and threw a mouthful of blood. 

Kadyn peered at him and said in a cold tone. "This isn\'t a place where you can be unruly. Do you think that no one could make you pay?" As he said he turned towards Leader Barret, his impression of the Magic Association worsened once more. Someone did such terrible things and the Association turned a blind eye. There was no way he would believe that they didn\'t know his doings.

Leader Barret spotted his gaze over him and he turned red. Elder Jyn\'s face also darkened when he realised the situation. Though he was an arrogant old man and loved to flaunt his seniority everywhere, but he never did anything against his conscience. He could not hide the disappointment in his eyes when he looked at Barret. 

Barret turned pale when he saw their gazes and hurriedly explained. "I know I\'m to blame. I\'ve heard a little about Khrom\'s matter. At that time he was the talk of the town for a while." Previously Khrom was hiding his face so he didn\'t realise his identity. However, after seeing his face and hearing his story, he understood who was he. "He had uprooted the most dangerous bandit group at that time after all. However, his life turned upside down when he was invited into the Mayor\'s mansion. Someone\'s eyes fell on his wife." He sighed and looked at the Khrom—who sat on the ground—in pity. 

Then he looked at Kadyn again and went on. "Next day I heard the news about what happened to his wife. After all, these kinds of things can\'t be hidden for long. Alas…"

Kadyn narrowed his eyes at him, an annoyed look emerged on his face when Barret stopped talking.

Barret glanced at Kadyn and hurriedly explained. "Mayor Palius wasn\'t the main culprit behind this incident."
