Bab 233: A Mysterious Conversation

Taiga blinked a few times in confusion at the question but nonetheless, answered the question honestly, "I would hope not. Because you seem like a good girl, who would only be seen with good company. Therefore, I would not consider myself a bad man."

Tilting her head slightly, Ria launched another pointed question at him, "If you are not a bad man, why would you try to kidnap the New Moon tribe? Everyone says you are here to steal us away. It is our home. We don't want to be stolen."

At this point, the atmosphere had become hauntingly silent. All conversations came to a halt as many members of the community turned their accusing gaze towards Taiga and his warriors. 

The jovial atmosphere that was there prior, had now disintegrated. Left in its wake was awkward silence, followed by the crackling sound from the fire pit.

Even Tuzi's hazel eyes were wide and alert, as she looked on in an eerily calm manner.
