Before Hao Xuan could say anything, they formed a circle around him and the dirt ridden girl while throwing nasty looks towards his direction and talking in a not-so-hushed tone.

"Look, it's one of them!"

"That poor girl, what did he do to her?"

"Of course it's one of them. Every time there's a problem, one of them seems to be behind it."

Hao Xuan shook his head as he felt a headache coming on. He bent down in front of the vigilant yet cowardly crowd and touched the small puddle of blood under the child's foot.

It was fresh and the source was her as well.
