"Why are you here?" William blurted out from behind his superior, his voice filled with surprise and suspicion.
Memories from the past flooded my mind. The first crime I committed in this world was killing a bunch of goons in the Balcker Forest, and it was William who took the lead in the investigation. He had been highly suspicious of me when we first met at the guild, instructing me not to leave Sephra for a few days. I had followed his instructions, confident that I had left no evidence behind. And I had managed to evade any further complications, believing I would never cross paths with William again in such a situation.
Yet here we were, surrounded by people who knew me all too well, including someone I had only glimpsed from afar and someone I wasn't supposed to encounter yet.
